I am an HVAC/R journeyman technician in the Phoenix, AZ area. This area is infested with HVAC hacks, especially in the residential HVAC side of the business.
Over the past 20 years of being in this area I have collected many pictures and videos of the hackfest problem in our area which I have shared on youtube.
Most of my new videos will be "how to's" or otherwise show n tell with the occasional findings of some hackery.
I am also a "Geek" who's assorted hobbies include DIY automotive and electronics which will be featured here as well from time to time.

Shading the condenser unit has already been proven to be a huge waste of time. Was a 2 year study in Florida done, and it resulted in half a percent of efficiency. Follow the manufactures suggestions on clearances.
@hackfreehvac
@hackfreehvac 2 дня назад
Yup. I took sample temps some years ago when people argued for them. As soon as the ODM starts the "shaded air" is gone in seconds and the exposed grill/coil temps (from direct sunlight) also change to whatever air temp is moving thru them within seconds. Then to top it off, most sun shades caused the hot rising air to be trapped and partially recirculate, causing worse conditions than no shade. 😮

At the theme park I believe they are waiting for a billboard sign to be relocated before that loop track is completed. I do see that they have continued to paint and complete some of the buildings and a new elevator tower is up. That could be the barbie house or maybe something else. I just got some spare batteries for the newer drone. So maybe I'll go check it out for an update.
