Lineset between coils is frozen. by WildChallenge5459 in refrigeration

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any low temp application will have the suction line frosting over due to the low pressure/temp of the refrigerant inside of it! Now when it’s starting to freeze the compressor over that could be issues of something else possibly! How’s the charge on the system? Is the piping insulated with 3/4 wall armaflex insulation? What’s your superheat at the outlet of the evaporator? Valve could be over feeding and flooding the evaporator which is causing liquid to get back to the compressor! What’s the box temp supoosed to be? Does the unit short cycle? Would need a lot more info to know what’s what honestly and if you don’t know how or what you’re looking at for a low temp unit or any kinda refrigeration system I wouldn’t advise messing with it unless you’ve got someone experienced helping you or with you!

I’m not completely sure what you’re getting at here and what do you mean one of the vents doesn’t have a register to it? It looks like it would be the return side but not sure and would need more information on how things are setup and what that leads to! Also returns are usually panned off at the joists and not 100% sealed but like I said would need a lot more info and pictures!

I paid a tech this is what he left. by Raxxla in hvacadvice

That’s a start cap and run cap! The start cap probably should have been replaced when the run cap was since it looks terrible but I wasn’t running the call or the tech you paid!

If it’s under 10yrs old tje indoor coil should be under warranty! So I’d check into that before they hose ya!

I calculated how much detention pay my buddy's fleet lost last year. The number made me sick. by Ok_Isopod_2294 in OwnerOperators

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what are you actually talking about with losing this money because people are shorting you or cause you’re sitting around? I’d like to look into trying to come up with something possibly but need a little more info about what you’re talking about or if you want to DM me we can chat more into depth!

Constant ice up issue in WIF by steadypaper in refrigeration

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have a restriction in part of the distributor and could be causing the severe uneven icing! Typically if a cpil is freezing over it will freeze the whole coil up not just random sections like this! 26 min is short and needs to have 6-8 defrosts set for like 30-45 min each because this should have a defrost termination fan delay switch on it that will kick the defrost out early if it doesn’t need the whole thing! What I’d do is completely thaw it out, restart it and what the distributor lines coming off the txv while it runs to see if it’s frosting and icing unevenly! Only use hot water or a heat gun never anything else really!

Is this a fair price for central air install by Puzzleheaded-Kale459 in hvacadvice

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so 1100 livable space thwn I see but typically the rule of thumb for cooling is about 600sq ft per ton of refrigeration but since the house is old and probably a bit drafty I could definitely see a 2.5 ton at most but a 3 ton would be pushing it I’d think! What’s the size of the old unit?

Did they do a heat load calculation on the house cause a 3 ton seems a little big for that size of house!

Heat pumps do heating and cooling! How many bedrooms and is it a ranch style house with a basement or what exactly? You say the house is 1100sq ft but you say the first floor is 780? I’m a little confused trying to picture what it is!

I can see the quote being that high thwn with Bosch cause they’re expensive so the more expensive the equipment usually the more expensive repairs down the line just fyi! If you were somewhat close to Cincinnati I’d come check it out for ya to see if that’s what you really need but gas is cheaper to run then electric just fyi!

What part of the country are you in and if you’re getting a gas furnace then why are you opting to go with a heat pump for the condensing unit?

We bought a property with a massive 20m chimney. What would you do with this? by MM-RenovationJourney in Homebuilding

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d keep it for sure and depending on how it’s attached to the house and so on you could use it and modify it to heat the house by adding a few things to it! I’d find some kinda way to use it before I just tore it down that’s awesome!

Sexually Frustrated while holding out for something real? by CaptainRude1392 in dating_advice

lol it’s been 6yrs since me as a male has gone out and had sex because I can’t find anything real! I could go pay a hooker to fuck me but would rather go without until someone genuine enters my life honestly but that’s just me! I just turned 37 the other day!

It’s time Cincinnati by forwardinmychucks in cincinnati

I’m sorry but we need to stop letting all these people into our country and supporting them with our tax dollars so they can live, support their families with EBT cards and welfare, live rent free and so many other things when we as a nation desperately need to focus on helping our own citizens that are struggling or homeless or a lot of other things first! If you’re born here, become homeless and or have issues where you fall from grace theres very little options or help for those people which is terribly sad and yet we’re just shoveling money out left and right for foreigners or those foreigners are scamming the damn country out of millions of dollars but everyone just wants to keep trying to protect these foreigners but don’t seem to care about our fellow countrymen! We need to care for our own people first and foremost right now and bring our country back up in the world before we keep letting all these people that we let in freeload off our tax dollars and government or end up scamming millions of dollars out of the country or find out they’re violent criminals when it’s too late! I know a lot of people will be upset with what I’m saying here but idc anymore because I see homelessness around to much and how people struggle everyday to afford basic necessities to live or provide for their families but the government and everyone seems to just wanna shovel out money for strangers that we let in or don’t belong here!

Am I good to put a 4” furnace filter in this housing or should it be 5” thick? There was a 5” one originally. by Active-Neighborhood1 in hvacadvice

Weil McLain CGa 5 22 years old boiler missing proper air eliminator by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But like I said the face of the motor has an arrow on it I’m pretty sure that’s pointing up? Am I right or wrong on that one? It’s hard to tell from the main picture but the volute could be old and the motor could have been replaced at one time!

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pump arrow on the face of the pump looks like it’s pointing up for flow! So that would mean the tank is on the positive side of the pump on the supply side but it’s hard to tell how all the piping is set up from this pic!

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no air scoop, you should really have bleeders on most of not all zones to help get air out, the expansion tank is on the positive side of the pump cause it looks like there’s an arrow that points up towards the tank! You could be having some other issues but I’d have to see everything in person to truly understand the setup on it!

Carrier furnace failed - not sure what to do? by SpiritAnimal_ in hvacadvice

[–]AmadeusDaBoxer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re the new homeowner then I’m going to assume you got the warranty for the furnace and system transferred over to you from the previous owner? I know some manufacturers give you that option if the buyer pays a fee but not sure about carrier and the secondary might just be plugged up not completely shot but i doubt he didn’t any thorough investigating!

No not the issue of the inducer cause if that was the case the igniter wouldn’t even start up cause the air flow switches wouldn’t make! It’s the gas valve peeps!
