You are correct, made that repair back in 2017, that is when I told the customer next time unit breaks will be time to replace. Those hose
clamps were still working when the unit died.
Any yes...

It is not original compressor, I replaced the original compressor back in 2007, I stuck post in wall of shame because the whole
bottom of the condenser was rotted away. I had nursed this condenser...
Replacing a 37 year old Trane unit that is done. In decommissioning the Trane unit, we noticed the complete
bottom pan is gone, rusted away, the compressor was sitting on the dirt.
For as big a house as it is, the owner has told me what the electric bills are, they are not bad. I helped install this equipment when the house was
built, the house is very well insulated.
I don’t know the footage but it is a big house. There is an eight unit, it runs a cold storage walk in.
Living room, and dining room. Double pane windows, so no noise gets inside.
Currently I like Goodman the best, good prices, and I have had zero issues with them for the last three years. I also like Thermal Zone only because
United Refrigeration is close by, and their...
Four of these six condensers are still going strong. Very few problems during their lifetime.
Two were replaced one in 2018, and the other in 2019 because of a slow leak, and bad
pressure...
Replaced an evap coil that lasted 26 years. Was an Allstyle coil on a 5 ton Rheem system.
Over the winter developed a bad leak, you can see quite a bit of oil on the tubing,
and on the...
You can run that long, you may want to up size the flex one size. Keep the flex as straight as possible, and no
sharp bends.
The high pressure control died years ago, wired around it. Want to use the heat pump since it
still works. Thinking of wiring t stat directly to relays one for cool, and second for heat pump.
The...
I have a 1986 Rheem 1.5 ton heat pump. Unit still works but is stuck in heat mode when
thermostat either calls for cooling, or heat pump. T stat is ok. Have not dug into unit
yet to see if...
Getting ready to change out a 43 year old
Carrier, that still works.
Blower getting noisy, told its time to let
it go, and spend money on new unit.
I have purchased many Thermal Zone units at United Ref., they had a big sale a few years back on
all r22 stuff, and I really stocked up.
That helps, get better oil flow now.
Have a big house that I take care of for about 28 years now, all of these condensers are 29 years old,
and still working good. I did replace a 2.5 ton unit one year ago that ho wanted changed...
I finally found the value for the compressor, unit so old not much data out there.
Thanks.
Anyone know what value run capp for this unit, for the compressor.
So old can not find any data.
Are the filters to restrictive. Fan blade dirty, fan speed to slow.
I have installed Rheems for decades, however this last year I started
installing some Goodman’s because price, and so many of the components are the same. Both have been good, but Goodman’s price...
When Austin started booming in the early 80s I started building houses to rent. When the ac units broke, I would call
a repairman to fix, I soon figured out I was getting taken advantage of, and...
Thanks thought it would, and yes 1200 cfm
Have a house with a 3.5 ton 2003 r22 condenser which is slightly oversized, going to change out for
a 3 ton 410a condenser 16 seer. Evap coil is a 4 ton coil rated for r22 and 410a, see photo,...
Generators eat batteries, bean counter put the fuse there.
I won a bid to replace 43 gas furnaces, to submit a flexible bid I bid Rheem, and Goodman because of the price difference. I got the bid with Goodman GMSS96 furnaces.
I have been installing them...
In real estate the word is, location location location, in hvac
the word is, airflow airflow airflow. That is what I tell them, and they like it.
Getting 10% return all depends on when you invest. Late January of 2016 was a great time to start as Jan and Feb of 2016 saw markets crash. The rest of 2016 saw markets climb to new highs. 10% was...
Many of the 30lb tanks of 134a I have been purchasing come with the adaptor
I just finished replacing two Chrysler Airtemp split units, both were 1970 units. There are small foil data plates on the evap coil that should give you toneage if they have not fallen off.
My condensers are 27 year old Rheem 12 seer units. My furnaces are
Rheem 92% gas units, evap coils are Rheem w coils 13 seer.
A good Corian counter top man can possibly
re-seam the break to be like new.
Needs to better support the back edges also.
Mattress Firm has bought many independent stores, very few independents left. They will move into a new area until they saturate that area, then shut down stores until the balance is right.

A friend of mine has a 2002 Ford F150 with over 300 k miles with original engine, trans, and ac. I went on a trip with him and was surprised how well it ran. And I am not a Ford fan. I think if...
Still do ac work, but have gotten back into repairing two way radios. Seems not many techs that can really repair radios anymore, and two good techs passed away this last year, leaving me as the...
The anchors do not have any scrape marks, or other indentions. It looks like the anchors were never set very well
in the wall. Easy to fix, I use small metal strips with ribs that dig in.
Looks like holes for anchors were drilled to big.
Pulling the meter would not have killed the power, because the meter uses the round donuts to read the power useage.
I was surprised they did not call fire dept either. I was close by when I got the call, so I got there in
about 20 minutes.
They simply thought the ac system was acting up.
Outside they have ...
Got a call the other day from a home where I installed two new twinned furnaces a few months ago.
They said they smelled a burning smell coming from the unit. I get there and I can smell smoke...
This Lennox has both charge compensator, and accumulator. But no muffler.
Ranch house I maintain has 5 Lennox heat pumps, 2 5ton, 2 3ton, and a 2 1/2 ton.
All of them 1994 vintage. The 5...
I recently replaced a compressor and accumulator tank on a Lennox heat pump.
This unit model HP25-651-2P also had a compensator which I do not see very often.
As a matter of fact, this is the...
Thanks for the advise, already bought the green epoxy, will give it a try with a slight vacuum.
I have a 5 year old U Line combo ice maker refrig with a refrigerant leak.
At present leak appears to be where cap tube connects to evaporator plate.
I normally do not fool with small...
I can hear that thing wheezing from here.
A millionaire is someone with several businesses with medium net income, he takes some of that money and invests in real estate and financial investments. With great attention, and time all these...
I have replaced filters that were badly plugged, enough so that when in the system, the line
leaving the filter was frosted, other times the line was cold, other times the compressor was
popping...
I blew through the filter, been doing this long enough that I have become a good guess.
The oil plugging the filter is a good point.
I installed a new cased coil in a split system that has never been opened in its
25 plus year life.
I did replace the furnace about 6 years ago with a high efficiency 93.6%
gas furnace, but that...
That unit looks like it has a lot of years under its belt, the coils did get pounded by hail, and it does look
like at one time or another the coils got bent from cleaning.
Some of the coil in...
Oh yeah........
Happened to me one time, will get your attention.
