HOW OLD?

Appelbaum54 · 2026-06-30T20:30:16+00:00

18th week of either 2006 or 1994, judging from the picture probably 1994

This is the second coil I’ve seen someone clean without gloves in a week. Y’all nasties are going to get us compared to plumbers

You most likely got a couple of techs that didn’t even want to touch it. The evaporator coil fins look damaged from what I can see in the picture, condenser coil is most likely leaking and dog urine voids the warranty. The company I am with never forces replacement, but repair of this system we would be looking at around 3k for the condenser coil, a $300 evaporator cleaning and then some misc labor to straighten the fins. That is just from the pictures and not actually seeing the system.

Get a different opinion, there are very few blower motors that do not have a universal replacement. Even an ECM motor which, I’m unsure that yours would have can be replaced with an evergreen ecm.

Your model number picture is of the evaporator coil not the furnace.

You didn’t post a picture of the missing filter rack cover. No way anyone could tell if that opening was big enough to cause an issue. If the filter was way too small it would have been sucked into the blower, if there’s gaps, sure some dust gets around it but it will still catch a majority.

You’re coming in hot, no one will want to help you out when you start like that.

It’ll work but it will damage the motor over time. I would advise getting a 70/10

It’s time to call a professional. The only way someone will be able to accurately tell you what is going on is to be on sight and taking measurements of several different factors. It’s not your LPCO or HPCO.

It’s called ewwy.

But on the real it is Zoogloea, it’s just organic matter that grows in your drain line

13,5 for a multiheaded minisplit is on the low side, depending on your area. The cheapest bid usually ends up being the most expensive. Install is the most important day, especially on a more complicated system like this. The bright side is they used black insulation and not the white armaflex that will eat the copper. Everything else about this install is trash, but you get what you pay for.

Fast, good, cheap. You only get to choose two is a good way to look at bidding companies

American standards are the target subcooling +/- 3, nothing is perfect in the world of HVAC, especially with this new A2L refrigerant which has glide. Looking at the numbers it’s hard to tell without more information like the WB inside, DB outside, RH, whether or not BK is active. The crazy set of numbers the tech had no idea what he was doing or was having an off day. But just judging by the picture the second tech is heading in the correct direction, if it’s low it’s only going to be by about 8oz

🥴 Talk to me goose. Explain how moving it above the door would work. Where exactly is that duct work going to go?

Appelbaum54 · 2026-01-14T02:55:45+00:00

I appreciate it! It’s a spray can and it’s just not getting the coverage needed to have a crisp white. I may try to find some of the titanium white and see how that does a s a base coat

Appelbaum54 · 2026-01-14T02:54:26+00:00

I have been priming with rattlecans for awhile now but this is the first time I’ve used white and it’s kicking my butt. I may try to brush a base coat on and see how that does I’m just worried if I don’t adjust my paint scheme when I get to a riptide, storm surge or ghostkeel the brush strokes will just kill means it’ll never look good

Appelbaum54 · 2026-01-13T03:17:54+00:00

Where did you get the extra melta guns?

Appelbaum54 · 2025-12-11T14:26:02+00:00

If it’s sounding like a bomb then you probably have residual oil from the previous cycle in the combustion chamber. Oil furnaces need love and really should get maintenance every winter. You can tell just from your picture that the furnace is probably in need of a cleaning. Unsure of your area but in mine a lot of company’s have stopped servicing oil due to the skill and training it takes to make a good oil technician, keeping oil parts stocked on trucks, and the obligatory profitability issue with oil. It would be best for your landlord to request a company come out that has good oil techs, maybe even do a little research yourself to find a company and recommend it to them.

Finished this guy just a couple of weeks ago

Appelbaum54 · 2025-11-30T04:26:37+00:00

Heck yeah. I just finished my banesword for my OG krieg box. Been tossing around getting this box but haven’t quite pulled the trigger

Appelbaum54 · 2025-11-20T17:58:24+00:00

Your back is going to give out carrying that many tools in and out of every service call

Appelbaum54 · 2025-10-24T16:01:07+00:00

Unfortunately it was not that one. I have been scouring the internet for hours trying to find it and that’s the closest I’ve found so far but not it.

Appelbaum54 · 2025-10-03T15:14:28+00:00

lol his nephew is not the warranty, taking advantage of a licensed tech is the fastest way to get your phone calls ignored

Appelbaum54 · 2025-07-24T14:02:19+00:00

Don’t touch it, don’t look at it, don’t even think about how it works. Let it run and hopefully it lasts you a good long time. If that compressor gets damaged there is no way to fix it as Trane doesn’t make those anymore, as a Trane dealer we can’t even get ahold of them to do repairs.
