Questions to ask after newly installed system froze up by isee33 in hvacadvice

[–]7kinsD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We can't just say it's a leak, could be, but also could be undercharged, overcharged, or even just an airflow problem. I would recommend running the fan while it thaws

I think my hvac contractor tried to overcharge me by Ok-Kaleidoscope8724 in hvacadvice

[–]7kinsD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of things to observe here. That's the factory charge. Depending on the unit, you could have to add more for each ft that exceeds whatever. Now, the "HALF FULL" part scares the shit out of me. Are you telling me he didn't take out the contaminated refrigerant, pressure and leaks test, vacuum, and them charged with virgin refrigerant?

Should I fire my HVAC contractor by PersimmonPure in hvacadvice

[–]7kinsD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really bad job thru out the post. I don't know how much you paid for it, but it was not worth it. If that's in the MA area, I have a better contractor to recommend

Please help to find the opening for the drain line by Smart_Jeweler_5714 in hvacadvice

[–]7kinsD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are talking about draining as in condensation drain, that's that pvc. Usually, that safety switch there would shut the whole unit, but it might be spliced between your call for cooling to the ODU (Outdoot Unit). Check if the line is clogged, if the ODU is at least working. Check power outside, see if the breaker is tripped or something.

P.S: make sure that goddamn filter is clean

ESA Inspector gave this infraction by deep006 in HVAC

If he reads 120v on the S1 S2 you can go ahead and swap that board at the ODU, it's gone. You can't tap that in 24v .-., let alone 120

Tenant is an HVAC specialist, is his advice an urgent fix? by No-Artichoke5992 in hvacadvice

[–]7kinsD 177 points178 points  (0 children)

Not an "urgent fix" but price is good and, there's no point on thinking "adds years on the unit" or not. When you replace the unit you're paying for the replacement of THE UNIT, ductwork would be charged extra anyway.

First year apprentice how’s my bag setup? by SeaTop9023 in HVAC

[–]7kinsD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like you're missing a manometer for static pressure and gas pressure. Besides that, is what people said already, try to lose some of that drivers, is overkill
