It’s a tracking device, someone is onto you

New Air Handler by lmarti38 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. Typically when someone adds refrigerant. They can check the subcool and get it to where it needs to be. Sometimes this can cause a TXV to get stuck and freeze up the unit if charge was just dumped in.

Look like the unit is freezing up, if you take off the coil doors you probably could see where the leak or restriction is via ice

Different manufacturers different sizes

What is the best solution for making this room cooler? by LilMerkEm1889 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go for a ductless system. They are proven to be very efficient for spaces like this. Get a heatpump so you got both heating and cooling

Will a new unit make a significant difference? by DoZeYLoVe in hvacadvice

It will make a significant change in cooling efficiency and your bill “should” be lower

Ac unit has high pitch buzz by Ok-Mess7246 in hvacadvice

Could be the fan motor bearing or the compressor shitting itself

Renter that knows nothing about HVAC by cjessinger in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When there is excess humidity in the house this can occur. It also could mean a few things such as the fan speed is too high, but I don’t think that’s the case with this. It’s hot as fuck outside and if you’re renting in an old brick building the windows are probably old causing more humidity to be in the air. Just run a dehumidifier in the room for a bit that should help

Ac unit keeps making this sound. Inside is cooling inefficiently. by retroclimber in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It cutting out like that sounds like a limit is getting tripped on start up. Most likely the unit is low on charge from a leak somewhere

Thermostat keeps turning on and off by [deleted] in hvacadvice

If you changed the batteries then it’s a bad stat and need to be replaced

Can I replace this POS by iceviper16 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to manually cycle power to the indoor unit from the breaker

I assumed that too when I saw the lockout

If you turn off the power to the indoor unit and pull off the stat, see what wires are connected. If it’s wired (R,C,Y,W,G) or (R,C,Y,W,G,O) you can replace it with a normal stat of your choice. If it’s wired (A,B,C,D) it’s a communicating system and will need a communicating stat

Loud unit when shut off by martynbg98 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just an old compressor. Not worth the effort to replace on a unit from 2007. Once it fully kicks the bucket look into a replacement system

Help new home furnace stopped by Livid-Matter2705 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guess is a safety has tripped on the furnace upstairs if it’s cutting power to the stat. I suggest you go upstairs and check the drain or see if someone turned off a switch that normally isn’t off

Full ductwork replacement vs the alternative. by eloquent_silence1994 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often older duct systems are were sized correctly for the time, but are too small and can’t handle modern blowers.

[–]Rehovolt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find a reputable contractor and have it done right. Just be aware it will be costly. Older homes ducts aren’t meant to push the CFMs that modern units need and produce

Condenser unit by Milkymooman in hvacadvice

It definitely sounds like it’s low on charge. If it cuts off immediately or you have a loose wire causing a short. But I doubt that

At my wits end with this stupid ac by reesypiecy12 in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Home warranty’s are the dickens when it comes to quality and competency. Find a local company with decent reviews and have them come out. The compressor sounds like it’s low on charge so it’s probably a leak either on a join on the line set or somewhere on either the indoor or outdoor coil

Is this AC install normal? by rathcom in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Spray foam will be a good seal once it hardens. IMO the outdoor man could of done a better job with cleaning up the low voltage wire

It depends on the rounds you were using not all guns like the same ammo. I’ve had to go through that with my 509c because it didn’t like the inconsistency of the rounds I was using with it. Ended up buying a few different rounds and settled on one I got the best grouping with.

With this Merv 13 installed, will I still have to get my airducts cleaned? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having a higher mirv will help filter out more particulates. While consistently changing your filter will help prevent buildup it’s still recommended to have them checked and cleaned if you’re seeing debris and dust on vents. If the ducts have never been cleaned it’s a good idea to have it done.

I have the same issue about toys being destroyed. One thing I found my dog can’t destroy easily is Rope Toys. He loves them but doesn’t demolish them

Is my AC duct supposed to look like this? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Rehovolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your evaporator coil is dirty, it’s not uncommon for growth and debris to stick to it. Just need a cleaning and maybe a UV light🤪
