In this video I work through the days calls. A leak search on a couple units, a condensation pump replacement, and a capacitor replacement! Like and Subscribe!
i fixed a piece of equipment some one else fixed a day before it was a "small leak" at the service valve, obvious BS answer so they didnt have to fix it, it needed a shaft seal.
What's the name of that tool u cut the pipe with? Can you Drop a video of the basic tools you need for beginners tech. I'm on a budget can't afford the high quality 1k dollar tools yet
Unit under deck, someone probably topped it off with a different refrigerate than what was used during the condenser change-out. With all the different R-22 replacement sometimes you have to guess. Whoever did the change-out should have pulled out the sharpie and write down the refrigerate used. I would also write it down inside the control panel.
It took me a couple years to find out to. It's better to not use a coupling. Anywhere to remove the same pipe later for any reason. Replace it with a union and not a coupling.
Hey Jeff! So I'm somewhat new to hvac, only been doing it for about a year now. To me It kind of seemed like the txv was acting up on that last system. "i'm just assuming it's a txv and not a piston" How exactly did you come to the conclusion that it was most likely a mix of different refrigerants? Because I would like to know in case I see something like that in the future.
It’s really just a hunch. Higher pressures on suction and discharge, high Subcooling plus 90% of those Air Temp models are 410a especially from 2014. I can see a tech just dumping 410 in there with out checking.
Recently repaired the same leak. 2014 model though. Was able to get coil under warranty, coil was right around $1,000.
On the trane evap coils.. YES all of the newer models (2017-2022) I have replaced countless due to leaking.
Thanks for the response!
Must not be a Friday lol
At 18:00 looks like some other tech out r-410 in it
The leak was hitting the fan shooting it all over the place

Nice job on all calls Jeff.
Thanks

PVC cutters. The ones I’m using in this video are Wheeler-Rex brand and are a little expensive but you can get a decent pair for about $40
Great video!
Thanks 🤙

I do the same with the sharpie!
Good call i agree recover and recharge with 422B bit of a mystery charge 🤔 could very well be 410A and relocation 👍👍👍
That’s what I was thinking.

Good call. I would have if I had lol. 🤙

@@JeffsHVACAdventures I agree It happens, I've done it myself.
@@JeffsHVACAdventures gotcha, thanks.
