I have an old Rheem a customer wants to wait till fall to replace.

I used the pan spray sealant around a crack in the pan and it worked.

Not a permanent repair though.

It's called a brain fart. Wait till you get older- your farting all the time. :grin2:

I've heard of Hurricane brackets, but a wall bracket (Other than custom made supported to the ground or built into the house.) for a regular condenser?

We don't do that.

I'd like to see this...

Vent after the trap.
Crack in the drain connection at coil.
Very clogged filter or restricted return.
Condensate blowing off coil.

I use a roof pitch gauge.

We use a separate drain for each system. It's rare to find them connected together.

1. Race only in the winter.
2. Use the venturi effect.
3. Use hot exhaust to transfer heat via ammonia system.
4. Dry ice with antifreeze circulation and pump.:grin2:

Putting the blower wheel in backwards helps "fling" the dust off easier, provides much colder air and reduces energy consumption as motor amps drop.
Think they will go for it? :whistle:

I think the important part of this is "Your Ideas" not ours.

I use backpacks for everything.
Use one for a tackle box that holds everything including water and a light.
Use one for hiking.
Use one for traveling on trips.
Got one for the shootin range....

A sag in the pvc in the slab holding water/condensate, thus providing a trap.

I hope they don't come up with anymore R22 replacements- I'm not carrying 10 different jugs of freon on the truck.:gah:

Wonder how they got that thing to drift in space like that? Looks like a video game idea.


I don't deal with Rheem Ruud that much- is this a better furnace in reality?

I forgot to install a trap on a vertical once and caught it the next year during a check. They had no complaints and I took the easy way out and attached a trap on the outside of the house.
They...

I had a metal outlet sweating and dripping in an old house. There was a drop ceiling (sheetrock) and I couldn't get to it. I finally drilled big holes in the upper ceiling and managed to spray a pipe...

Yesterday I had an annual call for maintenance I installed 6 years ago. Customer had no complaints.
SC and SH were both high as well as pressures (14* instead of 10*sc, SH was 31*). Repositioned...

For repeated annuals, about an hour, less time if I installed it with the 5" pleated filter.
For new calls- about 1.5 to 2 hrs. Like I say, most is visual observation of the house. I have a...

So far, I replace a 5 ton rooftop compressor and changed it to M099 with good results.

If you change a system over, you must change the driers and rubber seals as in the valve cores.

There's...

Heat the duct to 185* for 10 minutes.

Better venting in the attic helps too. Dead air in hot attics are moisture havens.

Good insulation and vapor barrier means no sweating on the ducts.

If I have a shorted or grounded compressor regardless of severity, I treat it like it has acid.
I use acid away and driers, then I use the bottle test (more accurate) after a week or so to...

Let us know when the compressor goes south.

I checks what is it that needs check'in and I fixes what is it that needs a fix'in. :D


Lately I have 50% of them needing a new cap for the indoor blower motor for some reason- strange.
All...

How many registers/outlets do you have?

Metal makes more noise than flex even with proper velocities since it can transfer blower/mechanical noise as well, especially on short runs.

It is...

I have seen the two types of corrosion (Green and reddish) on very few systems and all were outdoor units except a rare indoor coil.
I had no explanation for it except for the commonality of all of...
