3 Ways HVAC Compressors are Murdered 

Good video. I am a red seal refrigeration/ air conditioning mechanic by trade in Canada. I did some service calls for them 4 years ago. They always installed the systems them selves, the first summer I replaced 9 compressors in outdoor condensing units that had the highest acid level tests I have ever seen. I called the owner of the sheet metal company and said.. we have to have a meeting with your install guys to find out why you have so many compressor failures. They were a Trane dealer. At the beginning of the meeting I told the 3 installers to bring in their vacuum pumps and set them on the table in the board room. The pumps were all 10 CFM Yellow Jacket pumps, very good pumps in my opinion. The very question I asked them was.. How often do you change the oil in your vacuum pumps? All 3 of them said only it it falls below the oil line on the front of the pump, usually we have to let oil out because it gets too full. Well you can just imagine my response to that answer! I told the boys and the company owner, every one needs a vacuum gauge and a case of vacuum pump oil per truck. Change the vacuum pump oil after every use and pull the system down to 125 microns and that's it. The last 3 years they have no compressor failures. What a concept! I installed the A/C in my house back in 2001, an old R-22 3 ton 13 seer system, it has always been maintained properly, has never been recharged and works perfectly to this day.

Not enough return air

I hate doing PM’s too 🤷‍♂️

Unless they are LG compressors, then they just die because they suck

Thanks for the video. Stay safe man.
