I needed some experienced help
I have been handed about 6 restaurants to take care of and its been running me ragged (Dennys). Im trained and have experience in refer but for the past several years have done mostly hvac work. Its...
I dumped the 404 that was in it and pulled a good vacume and cleared the sight glass with new refrigerant. Im still getting an iced up line including the compressor but at least ive eliminated...
What is an EPR? I havent looked up in the drop ceiling yet.
Although the defrost timer is in poor condition and coated with all sorts of grease and other renderings as its located right under the dripping cook tops it is working and it was not just coming out...
Im in the upstate in Greenville. I use to do a good bit of refrigeration but in the past 5 years its been mainly HVAC until I got thrown into all these Dennys and in all honesty its a god awful...
Hi guys hope yall can help me out. These drawers are in a Dennys restaurant under their cook tops. Condensing unit is on the roof and it runs 3 different small evaporators with 2 drawers each one of...
They would crack open the interior freezer door to keep the temp down. How that got by any inspectors is up for debate. I do know the last inspection over a week ago they were written up for this....
Thanks for all of your replys. It now appears that the previous guys who were working on this system since last August had misdiagnosed this system as having a leak and would periodicly show up and...
Should I be looking for around 20* SH at the compressor?
Yes the sight glass is after the drier. Ive been suspicious of the txv since the start but since Im inexperienced with 404 med temp I wanted to see what general pressures i should be seeing on a...
Ok this is what Ive got. This is a walk in cooler that has an entrance to the freezer as well. This is in a Dennys Rest. and it has glass doors that they open to access shelves inside the walk in....
Ambient was 60 today. I had a 6 degree TD at the evap. What was throwing me off somewhat was a clear sight glass with the occasional bubble although I know you cant tell much by that with the blends....
You guys will have to excuse the ignorance of basically an HVAC guy who has been thrust into the position of doing a good bit of reefer work. I have a 404 walk in cooler where the temp is hovering...
10 grand for a 3 ton system..lol. You sure didnt check around did ya?...jeeze I got nothing more to say...just shaking my head.
I usually just plug the hole...I dont have the time to fool with condensate or home depot.
A blown capacitor is a very common problem no matter the brand...especially it seems GE capacitors in my experience.
You guys must have money to burn if your paying 1200 bux for a set of guages. I find no reason at all for that purchase other than to have a toy to play with.
There are some things where a contractor is not needed and shouldn't be needed and this is one of them. Your downloaded instructions should have the information you need on them. If this is a new...
The main problem with over capacity is lack of humidity removal. When its severe enough then this leads to mold issues especially in high humidity areas. When your system is over sized the run cycle...
Im assuming he disconnected the t stat to isolate the furnace. Sounds like a circuit board issue to me.
Braze only.
Unless you just like spending money then replace the compressor. Your unit is 6 YEARS OLD. Your dealing with people who want to take your money and it sounds like its working. Your coil should go...
I know alot of guys who dont replace the lineset and just blow with nitro with a vacume with few problems....so far. Im willing to bet when we hit around the 8 to 10 year mark compressors will be...
Ranco reversing valves. Im with you I believe there is a big problem with them.
How in the world do you guys handle the heat in them attics during phoenix summers? Give me a nice crawl space anyday instead of a attic. Of course the attics get quite warm here as well in SC during...
When did they come out with the 100 percent furnace?
BostonEd one more thing. I understand your concern with the heat load calculation but in your particular problem I find it doubtful it was ever necessary unless your gonna replace the system with a...
I completely understand BostonEd. If your existing outside condenser was 13 seer I also would suggest replacing the whole unit with a new one but you stated it was 10 seer. Unless one of the...
Boston Ed you have some companies looking at your system and quite simply they are trying to make money off of you. Your unit is a little better than 5 years old and is far from dead. I am guessing...
I had this same situation confront me today on a 2 year old goodman heatpump. Upon arival I found a dead compressor. I found it very odd that a 2 year old scroll would be dead so soon and I told the...
Hubbard you might want to look back at your bids and think very long and hard and logicly about what your bids say. Just because a tech came over and spent alot of time in your crawlspace or attic...
This is a prime example of why consumers need to understand that when buying hvac equipment name brand is meaningless....the consumer needs to shop around for a good reputable service company and...
Definitely have to bring in fresh air for these type houses. Carbon Monoxide becomes an issue in these houses especially if using ventless fireplaces ect.
Not getting voltage to the reversing valve solenoid. Most likely due to low voltage wiring problem, not wired correctly at the tstat or unit, or the digital tstat hasnt been programed. You do have...
Reversing valve is not energising. What type tstat did you use? On the honeywell digitals you have to go in the program and change it over manually.
Stick with the 3 ton and you will be quite happy. You dont want to oversize with the 5...your gonna end up with foggy windows and some humidity issues.
This dude wants (2) trane 19 seer systems put in at cut rate pricing...I have to giggle. The trane 19 seer is a good unit no question but anyone looking at these systems also has to be viewed as a...
Lennox is kinda strange in my area...there are a few companies that put alot of them in and have installed the dreaded Pulse furnace in droves over the years however there is no local parts supplier...
Go with a reputable company thats been in business for 7 years or more and check them out..references ect...and I mean truly check them out. Make sure you get a 10 year parts and labor warranty...
Didnt want to hit them with that lifetime thing...they would end up moving to hawaii and get killed by a sunami and then blame me.
Let me put a Goodman 14 seer in for you combined with a 10 year parts and labor warranty and use the money you save to take your family on a Hawaian vacation.
Find out what what capacity you have right now..3 or 3 and half ton and stick with that if for all these years the existing system cooled your home as you wanted. Its common sense and really no heat...
Personally I would suggest a (2) system install instead of one 4 ton system unless they are installing a zoning system. Otherwise you will never get even cooling or heating in this setup. 4 tons...
Surely you jest...I mean seriously.
I do not quote anything currently higher than 14 seer however I may jump to 16 seer after the first of the year. With current prices I do not see the purpose in a consumer purchasing a 19 seer. The...
Id look at that fan motor more closely. I doubt seriously its your reversing valve...its not energised in the ac mode with rheem. Could be the t stat but would be strange to only be happening at...
Yes hes talking about putting a hard start kit on there and im pretty certain this will not solve your problem. Problem is once he puts that on and you pay him his fee you will not find this out till...
Ive posted this before and I will post it again. I put in Goodman almost exclusively and I just dont have these same problems. Ive replaced one stack relay this year. There must be something in your...
That appears to be a fine GrandAire unit install.
