    Do you go to a boat repairman with a sinking boat, and tell him to put in a bigger motor when he tells you to fix the holes?

    Nice looking job. I just hate seeing media cabinets against the furnace cabinet. You may use a 16x25 or 20x25 but your furnace opening is only 14x18 so only part of the filter is getting airflow. Our distributor has transitions made to help get air over the entire cabinet and if you have over 3 ton, they have a riser box for under the furnace so you can get air under and that screwball opening on the side. Or we use right angle medias again getting air over all the media.

    i see but could you have gassed up the old one and it kept on working or was more wrong with it besides the gas being let out of it?

    I replaced both shraiders the first time and pulled a quick vacuum. Filled her up. Lasted about 3 weeks.

    Replaced both shraiders again and repeated. It lasted until i came and replaced it.

    I pumped her down and found the liquid line service valve leaking as soon as i took the cap off.

    Apparently there was no shraiders in it when the first guy came out and did it. Thats how the charge was dumped

    That reminds me of the time I told a helper to cut me the return out of the side of the furnace. He laid the 20 x 25 filter cabinet up against the furnace, drew a line, and started cutting.

    I was off doing something else, and I noticed it was taking him quite a long time. Came back down to the basement and realized he was cutting past the firewall, into the heat exchanger section of the furnace. I never yelled so loud .

    He was looking at me like "boy, that was hard to cut through", lol. Since then I never walk away from an apprentice for even the most basic of tasks.
