Congrats, could be an awesome find! Keep us updated, any problems or questions, you will find the answers here.

Changed out an A/H, Condenser, Refrigerant lines, modified some duct work, and even upped the electric to the condenser... I mostly do Commercial, but this is family, so I cant say no :-).. I use...

If you restrict air flow, you lower the RLA of the motor..

Nice!

Thought I would put up some pics of my latest replacements.. Not rocket science, just some pics :-)

Will be replacing a 30 ton, and adding a 20 on another building, so I will get some pics of...

No comparison when it comes to taste, and flavor!

Its actually good right now.. I even pinged the site before, and it timed out. Not sure what was wrong, but its good now..

Thanks guys

Wow, okay..

All other sites I am navigating around are bullet fast, except this one??? I have cable..

Is the site extremely slow, or is it me?

Great stuff staybrite. I use it on all SPECIALTY items, Txv's, Solinoids, Dryers stc.. It is a high strength silver bearing solder. Even fills cracks. Forms a 15,000 psi vibration proof joint on...

Ok maxster sounds like he knows this machine... You were typing when I was lol.. Pretty basic, thanks max

Hello, I will try and Help you. From that model number you gave ( not enough numbers) I dont know the machine exactly ( maybe bk4u can help lmao). Are the compressors twined or are there two seperate...

Why would you say the compressor is bad? You need to fix the pin or your hose so you can get a suction pressure reading. If there was an actual reading of 0psi, you wouldnt have a cold shell and it...

Ok sorry, I thought the noise was when it first started up.

Time to put your megger on it. Single phase or three?

Sounds like you have liquid migrating, laying in the compressor, thats what they sound like when liqiud lays in there and then she starts. Your discharge check must not be holding if it hardstarts. I...

Hello Mr.Bill, I almost forgot about this. I spoke w/ the Rheem (Ruud) tech people, and your kinda correct lol. They install the hard start on both 3 1/2 ton and up 12 and 14 seer. The reason they...

Hummm, didnt know techs with your knowledge made big bucks, I thought they were 1 or 2 year techs. I know peolple that make $20 an hour, two of these people work for me (Judging by your constant...

Hummmmm. Not that good! The terminal #'s you gave him were incorrect. If he was using a conventional t stat and had the interface installed, then those terminals could be correct. He said I am...

Hello Dapper, All alarms even auto reset ones will remain in the history log. When viewing the daignostics (alarms) follow the promts. If the alarm was auto reset it will say auto or info. If the...

I will say it again.. This is wrong.. WRONG. How you justify this statement? The stat being instatlled is a BAYSENS019B. You said you installed lots of them, I guess you dont.

Hvact, what are you talking about, you did everything right, dont you see that? There is always a bad apple in the bunch. If you did anything that this numbskull told you to do, you would have been...

Do I need to remind you this??/ WRONG!!!!!

Really? I hope you wouldnt be the guy they send out, this tech would have had the problem fixed faster and would have cost the customer less, hummmmm. Seriously though, why do have to be the way you...

LMAO.. I needed a good laugh

YOUR THE ASS! You gave him the wrong info, cant you read??? He said the stat # he was using, you still gave the wrong info.. Remember what you said??? "Ok listen and listen good,I am only going to...

Ok, credit to allen!! You beat me too it, I went out to the truck after reading the really smart persons post, came back, hit reply and started to type, while reading the Literature on the...

Hummmmm. Not that good! The terminal #'s you gave him were incorrect. If he was using a conventional t stat and had the interface installed, then those terminals could be correct. He said I am...

I see you havent gotten too much sleep.

Yes John true, For all we know, the blower door was off the machine while taking readings( unlikly? yes, just like its unlikly there is a restriction like that)I would think that a liquid line...

Yes, your talking about a motor master for low outdoor temp conditions, it works by operating the outdoor condenser fan to maintain a 90-100 deg liquid temp, some do it to maintain a certain head...

I hear ya, that stinks.. What is the 5 flash code say the problem is?? There are other limits besides the high temp in the blower section. You said you left the blower running, but no 24vac on R and...

[B]Check your airflow? Low pressure control probably has a bypass timer.

As beenthere said, its a Txv (or in let stariner is clogged). Most Txv failures are powerheads or inlet stariners. Just replace Txv at this point.

Nice Job Blueduck, you found, reapaired the leak, double nitro check etc. What did you pull the system down too? Yea, its a pia by yourself sometimes!! I service and intall the same systems, some 30...

Norm Please, Your are obviously a very well educated man, and reading from this forum( that I love) and your posts, you have my respect. You listed common problems to why MOST compressors fail, and I...

Norm, are you telling me that a mechanical motor, compressor that has friction and generates heat cant go bad because of time and age? A compressor cant go bad because an oil pump failed or the rings...

I am not sure your question has an exact answer, it is a good question though. It depends on a few factors. Is the evap an even 50% split? I think thats a yes. I believe that compressor has multiple...

I agree Norm, some compressors due just go because it was there time, obviously not in this case. W/ not having this machine infront of us, not one of us can tell you why they are craping out, it...

Hey Norm, I think I was working on one of your machines the other day, you did a nice job filling the little hole on the 1/4" male acsses ports, my hoses went on, my gauges read 0, butmy suction line...

Nothing, Replace the core. Any crap you put on there gets in your hoses. If you dont have the proper tool to replace the core, use a cap w/ the rubber gasket in it or install a schrater tee, female...

Where on the evap? Is it just on the metering device so you can tighten it or a braze connection or a srew hole?

In my opinion, just mine. Its going to be very hard to cool the attic down low enough to make that much of a difference. Yes, you could get it slightly cooler. Where do you live, I could give you a...

Feet, If you tell me how many btus of cooling we are talkin about, I will be able to give you info on what it would take to drive a compressor in that size, in most cases, the compressor would need...

I dont believe that the water will always be 45 or even 5o degress. In most states, I dont know all, thats not legal, you will get in big trouble for that.

I know we are in the Business, In my house, when its 90 plus outside, I have no problem doing 70 deg inside(cooler if I want), I like to sleep w/ the blankets on, not naked and sweating, well maybe...

I have seen something similar, but the power was stored. Not directly run off of the water wheel... You could always install a very large belt around the wheel and then drive a compressor LMAO J/K,...

Thanks Mrbill, I was kidding about the 50hz comment. I tried calling my guy just now, but I guess its Miller time lol. I think everything should have a time delay IMO, even 3ph. My Rheems and Ruuds,...

No way lol. Really? And a time delay?? Maybe they thought it was a recip lmao. Was it a 50hz machine? lol. Can I have the model number please? I wanna call on monday and speak to someone else. Like I...
