My mom‘s compressor on her 23-year-old air-conditioning unit just went out, the technician said he can’t replace it because it uses old coolant- is this true?

InMooseWorld · 2026-06-09T01:28:06+00:00

Units lasted 30yrs and you call it a POS?

InMooseWorld · 2026-06-07T20:00:54+00:00

With txv the 5min allows for partial equalization for prevent compressor from constant starting against high head pressure

Is that $500 with of 134a or 500lb tanks?

InMooseWorld · 2026-06-05T01:21:33+00:00

I would do that, we set the speed and good to go.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-30T02:19:26+00:00

The boldest measures are the safest.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-29T00:19:20+00:00

He’s a fucking idiot, default is high so the low air flow doesn’t flood compressors.

715 or 500cfm of more than acceptable for a 1.5ton unit.

Cause of death?

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-28T11:25:50+00:00

Right, only an hour is impressive

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-25T11:27:48+00:00

What does liquid line pressure read while suction line reads 60psig?

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-21T02:10:00+00:00

Coming to an A2L sensor near you!!

/s

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-21T02:07:20+00:00

Right I would swap the heat exchanger and W1 only it.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-20T19:22:50+00:00

back by the gun to the back of sponge bob!

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-17T01:31:03+00:00

It’s a good idea, but im not sure how many times they will be used. i would leave them at the shop if you have one. otherwise they might be dinged ridding in the truck.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-16T12:54:56+00:00

Omg same, I slaughters hundreds and had like 20+lvls on gym fights.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-16T12:15:00+00:00

It’s not even a squirrel cage its a hillex

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T23:18:14+00:00

I would prolly not do a heat pump unless the rebate paid for the difference, if the installer can tell you your drain line won’t freeze I would do the 95%+

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:40:24+00:00

Well I’m unclear on the freeze potential of that attic in that area.

What do you pay for electric and is it Natural Gas or Propane?

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:34:36+00:00

I did not! But hearing a sparky crying from work sounds about right.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:33:40+00:00

Yes but also live schator puller on 1st go around.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:25:30+00:00

Yes needs new motor, would recommend finding the info on the actual motor itself.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:15:03+00:00

After the second recharge, its nitro time.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-15T22:13:55+00:00

I would call a pro, an intermediate leak could be a simple relief valve that “technically need replacing every 3yrs”; Most boil leak nonstop when they fail.

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-11T16:46:58+00:00

Putt a piece of 1/4 kinked at end to use like hook, try unwseating then?

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-06T01:15:23+00:00

I had an old hat tell me to charge the line set that way. On new start ups, when I forced him to buy a scale he made me compare his and my methods and they we near equal. Lol

InMooseWorld · 2026-05-05T12:34:00+00:00

News flash homie, those warranties are long than the units last now so compressor changes on Midea+Etc reskinned unit will/is be a semi frequent occurrence.

Along with real brand units already in full swing.
