We've found that the flareseals work really well. A buddy of mine says they've been using them in nuclear work for years. they work esp. well for 410a mini's.

this one ended up being a power problem.

I threw blade fuses in both outdoor units and found one blown this morning after a lightning storm last night. Power company is going to put monitoring equip. on the meter as you suggested, though...

It was definitely an arc flash under the terminal cover on the unit. They had an electrician looking at the system and he is saying lightning strike caused this. I still have my doubts tho. It is an...

Sorry, I should have been more specific. Yesterday I had 208v and 210v the two times I checked it. This morning I wound up with 215v at the unit. FlA was 12 and LRA showed 45 on Start.

amps and voltage are ok. Its a semi-hermetic and I'm wondering if start windings are bad. Its an intermittent problem, hard one to pinpoint. we just had some bad storms thats what made me think it...

Hello, I have a wierd one. It's a 17 yr old (kold pak) low temp unit (404a) that we just replaced a timer, then a few weeks later all start components fried. This last weekend the start cap and relay...

I was thinking about it. Maybe flush system and replace comp oil and all new pipes. But then components are all still old. I think ill offer both and let customer choose. If it were me I'd prolly...

tried a new recipe on the grill that I would like to share. rub steaks in sea salt and pepper, then bathe them in red wine vinagrette dressing and add powdered garlic, splash of beer and drizzle a...

I have a 16 yo carrier unit. Customer says it was diagnosed in January as having "crud in the pipes" and the company he had out blew 250 psi through the lines and it worked fine for a month or two....

Here are pics of the install. I added a lpsw as a safety. Thanks for the input. Using the dryer as a receiver works great.

Roger that, ill keep you in mind.

I am going to install a filter/drier anyway and I like the idea. I'll snap some pics when I'm done. I picked up the evap unit today. Had a little problem finding such a small tx. Sid harvey had a 1/4...

Have you considered American Standard? They are basically the same as a trane unit, in fact they share replacement parts and are made in the same factories without the big pricetag. AS has been...

Check this one out. I bought last year. Does gas, charcoal and has an optional side smoker for like 50 clams. When its fully assembled its like seven feet long and doesn't fit anywhere but it does a...

Just wondering how others approach the controls. I could run low or line. It would be easiest to install a lpsw with nc to condenser unit. No defrost.

On the cap tube, I thought about what you...

with the lp control, do I run a transformer and 24 volt control or as line voltage?

switching from a cap tube I should be able to dx all the 1/4" line and come right off the evap with the 3/8" correct?

I am gently trying to steer them into a new box. I told her today that I would be willing to bring the old one back to the shop and get it functioning as a backup.

My plan was to install an...

I would give it it a drink, maybe an ounce or two and see if head pressure changes. Is the suction line iced up?

It would probably pay you to upgrade to a new Carrier unit. As a Carrier dealer I would recommend the new Infinity system. It's pricey but it is modulating and will save you quite a bit on energy in...

Actually I was wrong, the set I have is the one for 410a:

Same price...

I picked up this set last year and added the yellow jacket 60" hoses. I have not had any problems with them so far.
...

my vom works fine for 90 percent of what I do. I think an analog one would be fine if need be.

thanks, they are very easy to deal with btw.
