I’ve been warehousing for 10 years and lately hvac has been catching my attention this is interesting stuff right here !

I'm HVAC tech with 25 years experience, the double up dryers one should be removed. It really taxes the compressor just like a kinked line with the extra restrictions of the second dryer. It can cause the liquid to start to flash to gas just like a metering device and not feed the txv with a solid collum if liquid causing all kinds of problems. IMHO I would remove the one inside the unit, that way if you have to change the dryer you can just pump down the unit instead of having to recover it. I know you like to install them in factory location but that why I always relocate them, it's a time and labor saver in the future. Hope this helps you out. You do a great job I don't want you to think I'm criticizing you about dryer location just trying to help you out. Love your content

I’m going into hvac soon and I’m loving this.

After a stressful day that blunt roaster might be a good ole buddy to have 😂🤣😂 ... Thx for sharing ... You make me laugh ...

[NETWizzJbirk]

If only I wasn't stuck in a meeting.. I cannot wait to watch. Usually HVAC as you know is easy... It's does it cycle on running both indoor and outdoor fans and the compressor then whether or not all the refrigerant leaked out. It's a mess fixing a leak though ripping out an EVAP coil on their third floor...it seems they never pump down especially the rotary compressor units which run on a prayer and a hard start just to get them in the mood to run.

[abrahammiron]

Thanks for the tip on those hard starts. I have the same Goodman condensers at my current property so it’s good to know that those hard starts tend to trip the breaker when they go bad.

[techfive]

Look on the back of that electrical panel on the condenser. It'll tell you the design subcool/temperature charge correlation with ambient and indoor temperatures. Normally Apt ac's are oversized anyways so doesn't have to be perfect unless you're working on 3rd floor end unit. Unit with a high load that is.

[parkerbufkin]

Lol you kept talking about that blunt makes us wonder why you didn't film inside 🤣🤣

[realSamAndrew]

My guess on the high SH would be an extra long lineset since it's apts. and you have multiple floors and long runs.

[alexcannova]

You should be good on the superheat thing since it's a txv I was always taught its the subcool that matters you would pay more attention to superheat if it was a piston . Superheat for piston subcool for txv is my rule at least .

[cleftheart]

I'm taking a h vacation class just starting...this gives me a good idea 💡 what to expect thanks 😊 🙃 🙂 😅 👍🏾

[ftwbreeze]

Hello Lex, I agree two filter dryers are one too many. Would like to hear from the tech that installed new compressor. Your content is refreshing, many thanks Lex!

[Kilcrops]

If your line set goes underground your superheat may be high if you check it outside. Have you checked your true superheat upstairs at the air handler?

[noahplugn]

I’m just getting into hvac like I’m in my 3rd day of class does anyone have any advice for me ? It was overwhelming until I spoke with the teacher because I’m learning from scratch

[edwardgarza]

Your saying you can never get the superheat below 20? Even by adding charge? Either semi stop up txv, undersize TXVs or sometimes there's strainers b4 the TxV those could be plugged due to being a appartment complex installs go really fast and not much care goes into it, thoes be my guesses

[soloch]

Great video bro keep them coming, I work on the property and I sometimes have to close out work orders and the ones that I look at is the commons that the other maintenance guys report AC unit is ice up and all they do is add refrigerant don’t even look for leaks this is sad and don’t even know the superheat or sub cooling and we are talking about the senior tech🧰 at that 🤦‍♂️

[TexMex]

Can you make a video about the phase out of 410 and new freon that will replace it

[ChristianVespucci]

6:30 I'm an apprentice with only a few days experience and I'm here to learn, but I can tell you that that looks like laziness to me 😂 especially when we consider the atrocious wiring.... that dude just didn't even care lol

[SteveTJ]

Another great video Lex, thanks you! My 2 main thoughts after watching this video are this:

A: The fact that those units come from the factory with a hard start kit to me is a big red flag of poor engineering. I took hvac courses back in the early 2000’s and I don’t ever remember a situation with a hard start kit being installed at the factory, seemed like it was always an option to be installed in the field after if a compressor for being troublesome and popping breakers

B: Correct me if I’m wrong but with all the problems you are seeing on those units, how much research did the apartment complex honestly do before deciding to install those over the entire property when it was built? So sad that we are in the day and age where the lowest bidder is always what wins.

Anyways, just a few thoughts I had, keep up the great vids!
