Any air compressor. You can use a 1 gallon pancake compressor as long as you have the attachments. Professionally I use nitrogen tanks and tbe Gallo Gun but I have that cheap gray one from harbor freight I use around the house
@eralpatmaca5437 First thing that comes to mind when you say AC flush kit is an R11 refrigerant line flush kit which is no where near the same thing. If you want to get something small for yourself you can get the Gallo Gun or diversitech drain flush system. I'll add a link so you know what I'm talking about. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dB99cbTepxM.htmlsi=ErmJEdmaQI5NEpzk
Thanks for the clear installation. Quick question. My Intermatic AG 3000 instructions say to connect it to the line side. You connected yours to the load side. I’m also connecting to a disconnect box on an A/C unit just like yours but this makes me second guess myself. Did you possibly do it incorrectly?
My inside unit is making a low/deep banging sound (like a constant, medium pace bang on sheet metal) the sound is near where the squirrel box “blower” is located. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Turn it off and wait till it stops. Reach your hand inside the blower and see if paper or insulation got sucked into the wheel. You dont have to take it the blower out to do it. Just make sure it's off
My old boss taught me when it’s doing weird noises like that to tighten up the screws around the fan, around the top or some of the side screws nine times out of 10 that shit works every time but if not, I will try the zip tie trick
Most hvac techs won't use this anymore, in fact our company has directed us to stop using it all together. If you have a txv metering device, leak sealers will ruin them. Best case you stop the leak for a year or two and then will be paying more for a new system in the coming years with inflation and price increases. Best to fix it or replace the system immediately at current market prices.
that stuff works, but the condition of that A coil is so bad, it's on borrowed time. Eventually it will spring a big leak and no seal be able to handle it. A band aid for sure.
It's not exactly the cleanest house and the filters rarely got changed. Once the filter got dirty enough it would just pull everything around the filter into the coil.
If it's that soon it could possibly be the connections. They have to be done correctly if not bad wiring and termination will create communication issues
what about for flares? i use to work in a aerospace tube and duct assembly shop, with hard metals like stainless, inconel, and Titanium. M place im the assembly line was run the cnc tube benders, and while the machine bent the next part we had to cut the excess off the previous one deburr and chamfer them perfectly square. Thats the secret to a good flare is no bur and no scratches from a deburr knife. On hydraulic lines if you scratch up the metal being flared you're bringing down planes. Coppers more forgiving but when youre testing full retard that 500+ psi and samsung wants they're minisplits pt'ed at like 687 psi.
Yea I'm going to miss it. I'm not looking forward to the A2L change. I have a feeling we are going to see awful install practices and a ton of equipment failures
@@WorldofHVAC Just about every utility company offers an assistance program for those who are in financial hardship that replaces old furnace units with high efficiency units. Often, the homeowner will only need to come up with 10-20% of the cost of the new unit.
My Daikin for suddenly stopped working. The air handler still shows up on the thermostat as a communicating piece of equipment but not the heat pump. I checked the unit outside and it seems to be receiving power as light on surge protector is green. Breaker was found tripped. Any help?
You'd probably be better off calling for service if the breaker was tripped these components as sensitive and expensive. Don't want to risk damaging them
Did you check for acid while you were there? If there was moisture that was already hanging out in the line set before you got there and it already became acidic, then the drying agents won't be helpful meanwhile the heat will also accelerate the instability of the refrigerant to form more acid.
