At 62 in heat mode there is a lotta heat to get picked up by the big outdoor coil and has a lotta trouble gettin rid of by the little indoor coil. This may not have much of a problem.

We are all bad at it before we are good at it. Get a senior tech, or a tech rep from the Ruud distributor to help you out. I wish only heat pumps were taught in the schools, then a/c's would would be...
How long does it run before it trips hp? 2 min or10-15 min
Another possibility is a txv not feeding properly, even on new equipment. Is this a changout? Have ya looked at a duct calculator to see if your close on ductwork if you can't take static pressure...
2 to 1 odds it's overcharged. An HVAC doctor would say take about 1/2 a lb. out and call me in the morning.
Haven't had freezing but damn sure had water blow off in a horizontal position, or the air turbulates somehow and blows it up and out of the drain pan. 1 job 5 systems, 2 were horizontal laid over...
Some sleeping dogs need to just keep sleeping. HO says it works fine roll with it, if ya get him thinkin he might just think you did something to it. I've seen mismatched systems satisfy the "people"...
Not if they're testing them under load
PCB oil is a carcinogen, they kinda had to quit using it. Dentist also had to quit using mercury in fillings, now they don't last either i suspose.
Some of those old units the caps look sorta like a family bible got left in the unit.
TRY IT, see what happens instead of all this technology, one of a kind type thermostat. 2 ton on 600 sq ft likely won't run long enough to freeze anyway. oversize is part of the problem in the first...
Slow the fan down
Exactly! voltage drop thru one of the safety switches.
As you leave you just say "I can't see it from my house" and resolve that it's okay.
Put it in like you're gonna have to work on it. I wouldn't call them words of wisdom, just common sense.
Why do ya gotta come along and make perfect sense?
Had to do that with mobil home evaps a few time over the years
Disconnect, haul it to the car wash to clean it, then re-install and write up a ticket commensurant to the work involved, collect for your work.
Change the refrigerant type on your s-man guages to the proper refrigerant you're using
Watts is a measure of heat. VxA=W
I have come to the conclusion that we are getting somewhat bad advice from the so called experts. They tell us we have to learn how to appeal to the next generation of techs. Provide opportunity,...
This is how a young tech learns, hearing kinda the same thing explained with different words from different people until they hear it in a way that finally makes sense. GOOD THREAD
And the filter ain't catchin it all.
Simple answer to the question is nothing is designed for a/c that cold. Sorry snap, but I'm throwin the bull s**t flag on that, I find it hard to believe anyone can maintain 61 at 95. 71 you bet
They're coming into the trades, they just don't stay in. Especially HVACR. People do not realize how much other people count on us.
X3
LV wire under the lineset and the weight on the wire shorts it????? just throwin something else out there, when you find it you'll know it from then on. The best teachers always whipped my azz.
Check it under load
YUP, mandated higher efficiency but relaxed standards on how to get there. They did it prior to coils with gas milage in cars. You save 50 bucks a year in gas but we took off the steel bumper and put...
Contactor coil????
I've never failed to pick up "nuggets" seminar, RSES monthly educational meeting or an in house training session, don't matter, when you open your eyes and look teachers are everywhere
this is why we change so many heat exchangers in Sept/Oct
Won't pass inspection
Listen to pacnw
Don't sugar coat it man. just tell us how you really feel, nevermind I feel the same way.
Mom said It would make me go blind, but I never listened.
Hell I have enough trouble gettin thermostat wires into those little connectors on thermostats. See a cracked solder joint, don't make me laugh hysterically.
By the way,1 time had a screw under a...
Compressors and coils, I LOVE them. Mix in just 1 of those a day with those other calls, makes for a nice day. I whole hearted agree with you, service, as long as it's steady is far better for...
I had to show a young tech last week how to actually strike a match. He was astonished at how it just lights a fire. Don't kids play with matchs anymore like their folks told them not to.
Some say Pakistan others say assembled in Mexico, but we don't have failures. The Titan HD have been used when we can't get a certain size, and in all fairness have had no problems with them. Just...
I've said it before on this subject. We began getting all our capacitors from the Rheem distributor, in the protech boxes. eliminated the capacitor warranty problem for the last 10 years
It's the sensible way. we're telling people who call us that we're scheduling 3-4 days out but if you call at 10 pm and are willing to pay more a guy will come right away. WTF???? By the way you...
There are good distributors and not so good ones it all markets. This scenerio sounded like a no brainer to me. Glad to hear the client got taken care of
You are their guy, period. This is what makes people leave the trade because they never realized how much people count on you when they need you. No one told you when you were in school that you...
please don't forget Arkla gas air conditioners either.
ALL mfgs have skeletons they don't talk about. Amana and the HTM. York and that heat pipe furnace, Goodman and their....product line. I kinda feel like WE are doing the field testing for these mfg's...
Possibly the most reliable furnace ever IMO after the problems got fixed by around 93-94'. Heat exchangers are bullet proof. Here in the Wichita area they hold the most market share of all units and...
Something Rheem has decided to never speak another word about
There were 4 revisions to that pilot before they got the problem resolved. I was a tech rep for the distributor at the time and I believe about 20 board changes on the HSI furnace. Rarely a board...
Squeel louder, noisy wheels seem to get grease. After thinking about it the distributor will realize what bad reviews will do and make it right for the client, but you'll still have to come up with...
