I am currently enrolled in a Residential design class, so my real world experience is very limited but I have the book with me.. We are using Manual Jae(Abridged Edition). It is not as many pages and...

I have a Danby Premiere in my shop.(12X24, walls insulated, ceiling not) It's a 2 hose version, 317826 and it works great. On high the fan is a little loud but its fine on low. I use the timer to...

A way to minimize risk would be to take the condenser home after you've disconnected it. I don't know about your insurance but I'm pretty sure mine covers equipment in the truck/van.
Also, business...

Thank you everyone, especially satuatedpsi.
So, I'm going to return and remove the TXV, install a a piston, vacuum and charge to SH.:) I suspect a visiting Super installed TXV's to fix problem...

Several weeks ago I followed the failed maintenance supers's(several guys) attempts to fix a no cool. I found contaminated R-22 and a TXV installed with the piston still installed. The bulb was also...

Just thought i'de throw in my two cents. I am also dealing with an apartment customer with 20 plus year old filthy coils. I called the Coil Jet factory and was put in touch with a local sales rep. He...

Garyed,
I have not checked blower speed yet. That seems like a good thing to try. I thought about a plastic register also. I'll have to see if I can get one. These registers are 27 years old.
Is...

Garyed,
The condenser is a goodmanGSH130481AD. My understanding of Goodman numbers gives a 4 Ton Condenser. The AH I can't tell for certain, ARUF486016BA.
I didn't measure CFM out of the air...

Technically, it's in the wall, and I used caulk to seal it to the wall.

Customer complaint was that one register is sweating during the afternoon only. I went by Tuesday morning and discovered an uninsulated duct boot. I insulated, taped and caulked, and they called back...

Thanks for the answers. One more question.
The condensate pan is rusted through. Do you know who it's made by? It is labeled RTD-24-CH. Serial number 1700691. It's dimensions are 2 inches deep, 9...

I found this today. It's on a Split Carrier indoor unit. I didn't see any other metering devices on this system.

I put my amprobe on during testing. I tried three times. The breaker tripped so fast I couldn't get a reading, even when I set it on "max".
The disconnect was 1 foot from away from the service...

Good call Comfortablynumb, compressor locked up. After I repaired enough wire to to try to start the compressor, it tripped the 50A breaker. First time ran for a second then tripped.
Still good...

Two questions just for my curiosity.
Here's what I found. Customer moved in Saturday, claimed it worked Sunday and Monday. No cooling on Tuesday.
Lennox 10ACB48-10P outdoor unit, 4 ton cool only...

My interperation of Martyinlincoln was that his guys that didn't have digital gauges, used the ssx34 to measure temps. That's how i use mine. For me the advantage is duplication of abilities; a cheap...

I've had one for years. Mine has been extremely durable. The temperature clamp can be finicky if you put it directly on a joint with solder build up or on small than 3/8.
I use it in conjunction...

Whats the best condensate clog prevention? I use various tablets and a long brush to scrub the interior of the trap when possible. My last job tonight had a clogged condense drain that they say has...
