I think it's a good idea to take a sharpie and write the correct capacitor size near where it mounts. Saves time on the next call and keeps down confusion. Sometimes technicians get creative with those capacitors LOL

1) Probably stop that JARD crap. Turbo HD? 2) Suction pressure would still be normal with overcharge with a TXV metering. Fixed metering it would be high. TXV restriction would give you low suction and could give low head as well. It could be an overcharge with that high subcool and high head.

Great video Jeff stock up those capiciters and when they come in put the correct ones on and Jeff if you carry r 22 keep it in the truck but offer them a conversion if necessary this is not the time with this heat to be replacing systems and ordering new ones it's just keep em running time and fix them. But keep r22 on the truck for those you know just need a small amount jobs. But if it has a leak offer a conversion.

Cap graveyard. At least they were simple calls and not those calls that have you head scratching I’ve had a tough summer as well nonstop calls working 60 hours a week. This is kind of the reason I stocked turbos because they give you universal tabs and I’ll stock the common sizes as well. Keep them coming.

I learned early on to always keep a minimum of 5 each of the common size caps because the chances I would run that many service calls in a day with the same issue are slim then I restock anything I used before heading out the next day. For emergencies always had a Turbo 200 they are pricey but they will save your ass.

Keeping the condenser coil clean will help. But Units that are in direct sunlight get it worse. I know there isn’t much you can do after it’s installed but just things to look for.

@TwangTown
@TwangTown 3 месяца назад
@carlbass4449 that's after burning for a few hours in the hot Tennessee sun, trying to do a mind meld as to what the hell is causing it. I'm 95.555 percent sure it's got a slow leak in the evap coil. But... I'm a guitar player not an HVAC tech. (Which is why I do all my own electrical, plumbing and HVAC repair) If only mine was just a coil. But heck the heating coils are Trane, Air Handler an old Lennox Elete out of a Payless shoe store that went under. I can't really complain too much. I traded a Forrest Custom guitar for unit. It's 20 plus years old. But I keep it running. Put a QWIKLUG QT2812 kit on the compressor 4 years ago. That's how rotten this old dog is.
@TwangTown
@TwangTown 3 месяца назад
It was extremely low on r22, and the liquid line was obstructed so one side of the evaporator froze up immediately after adding inline leak sealer and r22. Working good now tho. I don't envy you guys. That's a hard job, doesn't look that tough, but any DIY guys could do more damage, plus the heat... Today's gonna be even hotter. I think I kinked the liquid line getting to the squirrel cage a month ago when I first started noticing it wasn't blowing cold. And that caused the obstruction exacerbating the problem. Luckily I have a couple good HVAC friends. Love your channel man. Stay cool!

After I washed the coil and it dried, the suction pressure was in the 50s. Superheat in the 40s. Sub cool was around 6 when the data plate called for 15. Head pressure was high but it was well over 90 out so it didn’t scare me

I installed a AMRAD 40/5 and we just bought this house and I know it has the original compressor in it.Should I be worried about it? They used a marker to mark the date on it.PS. I change it and the contactor just because I used to do A/C work in Florida as I change profession to Appliance Repair. And know capacitor go out A lot.
