hvac preswures acting strange

4 ton unit blowing hot air ,heat coils not on ,low side pressure 68, high side 225-230 What goes with this

[iraqveteran]

sounds like a bad tech is what goes with it...........

good luck. This is not a DIY forum.

[stangarner]

may sound a little DIY to you and yes I've heard that the Texas techs are a little squirrely but in this case I was looking for a serious answer, I own my on stupid company of stupid techs but I do know how to read a manometer and a temperature gage so you don't know either huh stan

The compressor oil needs to be changed

[DPSwitch]

Question.....how much refrigerant did you add to get it to that?

[iraqveteran]

ummmm

I read that 3 times and still didn't understand it all.

Who is stan????

You got stupid techs. Aint that what I said? No I said bad....my bad


Ok well get your manometer and tell me the pressures.:eek: Then get your temperature GUAGE and tell me the saturation temp.:eek:


you want answers, you need to be a pro. and I mean pro status by that. But by the sounds of it and the looks at your typing abilities, I have a hard time believing you would be able to understand the answers given.

[stangarner]

Ive had a really bad day, my typing is not bad for 60 year old man who uses one of these things about once a month, and mostly to read email, Thought you guys would be a little more forgiving. Iraq you could stan a little polish yourself. however , If you could forgive me for interrupting and waisting your time you might be surprised what I can understand when presented in a little less than hostile way . no arguments from me sorry I bothered you stan

[iraqveteran]

alright.


well you need to provide a lot more information before we can even attempt to think about a possible problem.


you need to first find yourself some techs that properly diagnose systems. Then come here for more information. There is a lot here.

Ok, so then what were the readings.
OD temp
ID temp DB and WB
TESP/ air flow in CFM
Vapor line temp
Liquid line temp
Return air temp DB and WB
Supply air temp DB and WB
Did you check both sides of strip heaters for amp draw to make sure they are not on?

Other then pressures, and that its blowing out hot/warm air, what did you check. What did you try to correct the problem.

[DPSwitch]

This is starting to belong in technical ..... lol

[beenthere]

Other then the one question.
I didn't give any clue how to check anything proper.
I just asked what the readings were.

some times i think every body in texas is scared to call for a/c pros. alot of our calls are fixing what diyers have screwed up or they have a neighbor that used to work on automotive a/c. they always try to cover it up, but the wife will tell you before you can walk in the door that the old skinflint has been monkeying with it. its hilarious.
