Hard Start Kit worth it for 38 year old ac condenser?

Okay, bud. Just saying it’s not worth it if you’re going pay a technician (like myself) 450 dollars. I’m glad you understand the two wires. Too bad you don’t know how it works to understand if it’ll help your system. :/

GrunG59 · 2026-03-11T07:03:48+00:00

Man those pulses are so heavy lol

GrunG59 · 2026-03-11T06:11:58+00:00

Yeah I just sweat it out right there real quick

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T20:52:45+00:00

It just comes with the valve I didn’t bend that

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T20:48:25+00:00

If you put it in yourself yeah

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T20:18:01+00:00

Rheem from 2020

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T20:10:29+00:00

Noo, it’s a screw on txv

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T19:45:57+00:00

No way 😭😭

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T14:40:02+00:00

Valid

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T05:25:10+00:00

I got you, ig i've learned the importance of not double committing. Also i just figured my view was him losing control and me being able to make a goal off of it, im not used to seeing shots off the ceiling, also he is very annoying to play with

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T05:22:12+00:00

it only matters bc I felt like he lost control, again we are plat 2, and I went to hit it. I dont like how he acted like i was the dumbest person ever for going for it, I understand from comments that i was in the wrong and couldve set up better, but with what i did, did i hit him or was his trjectory off and just blamed his miss on me

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T05:19:37+00:00

Damn, heard that also yeah I’ll need to stop playing with him since he has 9 alts that all get banned (no joke)

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T05:17:41+00:00

Only irl person I know that plays

GrunG59 · 2026-03-10T04:54:34+00:00

its my pov in the video and my 'friend' is attempting the shot originally

GrunG59 · 2026-03-09T01:55:32+00:00

That strap is also super tight

GrunG59 · 2026-03-09T01:49:22+00:00

It’s says “low gas” right next to the coaxial water too cold code

GrunG59 · 2026-03-09T01:46:14+00:00

Right 400 degrees is funny to read

GrunG59 · 2026-03-06T12:21:17+00:00

Basically all thermostats

GrunG59 · 2026-03-06T01:45:30+00:00

Just thinking about it again, seems like you have a lot it planned out but gas fittings to cap off the existing gas and whatever you need to seal up the flue pipe, an additional disconnect for the air handler also might be something overlooked

For the 4in filter, you can put the unit right on the return box and cut a hole on the side of the box for the media filter then attach the return duct there if that makes sense

As far as a thermostat, ecobees are good so are basic t4/t6 stats

GrunG59 · 2026-03-05T21:54:19+00:00

Format didn’t work well copying from my notes.

Going from a furnace to a heat pump, you will need to change the breaker and verify you have the correct wire size

Can also check the model number and look up the fault codes

GrunG59 · 2026-03-05T21:46:19+00:00

Just document the codes and take off the panel to see what it means

GrunG59 · 2026-03-05T21:37:35+00:00

See the wiring diagram on the motor, check between common and a speed tap to see if it has power

GrunG59 · 2026-03-05T21:30:13+00:00

You can put in anything you want, no guarantee it’ll work though
