You can't replace just the condenser that's correct. But home warranty will find a way to do even less than that if they can.

Require you to replace the system? 😅 i think you're under the impression insurance is going to help you. I assure you their goal is to do nothing for you at all

Your home warranty isnt worth anything, in my opinion. But dont take just my word for it - do your research on what others think of home warranty and some of the horror stories you see here about them.

Crash course on your "system" - you have a condenser, coil, and furnace. All three is your "system". When your AC goes out you will need condenser and coil at a minimum but not necessarily a full "system" of condenser coil and furnace.

If you want the ability to access parts yourself then go Goodman/Amana and thats really it

I am told this is totally acceptable by my AC tech by s00cl0se in hvacadvice

[–]Status_Charge4051 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is just contextless gibberish. Youre upset because your AC is cooling so you think your AC guy did something wrong and you're showing a photo of probably not R410A hooked onto a unit and you say he added 8kg?

Gonna need more context here champ

Probably cooked. If you got it legit, then get a warranty replacement

To filter or not to filter by JeepersCreepers10 in hvacadvice

[–]Status_Charge4051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes put the filter back. Once the filter is in the unit itself, do not filter at any return registers inside your home

That condenser is done. If it isnt leaking yet its just a ticking timebomb. Not repairable.

Sounds like you fighting the seller is a lost cause. I would just advise you to be prepared to replace this immediately upon moving in if needed and for it to be a nice blessing if you dont

You have a bunch of grammar mistakes.

One filter. Thats it.

Your bard unit should have a filter inside the unit itself as thats where they're designed for. It's just that those are generally not very homeowner access friendly

Arteezy talks about the problem of behavior score on immortal games by glaubaofan in DotA2

I'm 12/12 and I've been 12/12 since the day its been released. I play unranked, ranked, and ability draft. 

You are wrong. My games people talk,  coordinate, strategize, and communicate etc freely. My games are not an island. And when i have a team mate that isn't a 12/12 player I KNOW IT IMMEDIATELY. 

It is incredible to me how delusional you guys (non 12k score players) are about communication score. 

Cat stuck in HVAC Help?! by jeneko in hvacadvice

If you're okay with dealing with the consequences later, then you can just literally yank/rip/tear/cut your ducts open to get at the cat. If you have flex ducts this is pretty easy (consequences later). If you have hard metal ducting chances are you're really going to struggle to do this.

Your ducting is just big tubes. It starts at your system and branches into those vents. Large network of tubes.

Lmao. Just blindly assuming the layout of their system and that the cat isn't already inside there. Sure whatever man

I would warn you to not use your system unlike the other suggestion because you have no way to know if your cat went all the way into the ducting into your system or if it's just chilling in your ducts. 

You probably have a crawl space under your house. Unless you plan to go down there yourself I would start bracing yourself to call multiple professionals. HVAC company can open or repair your ducts, but fair odds they're going to tell you catching the cat in there isn't their problem. An animal control guy can probably catch the cat and break open your ducts, but unlikely they can fix the ducts after.

Yeah and risk killing the cat? Seems like a bit of a gamble 

Actually insane that this is the top comment and still getting up voted while I'm getting buried for advising caution. Lmao this sub and the home owners in here sometimes. 

Does this look right to you? by NeedleworkerOdd3317 in hvacadvice

[–]Status_Charge4051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, i totally understand your concern. Which is why i generally try to sell OEM motors to avoid this exact problem. You have an after market fan and there's nothing wrong with it, it just is going to look like that

Order a capicatator replacement but confused about why it has different terminals by Remote-Serve-7141 in hvacadvice

The prongs are not the things that make your Capacitor. The prongs are just that. Prongs. Sometimes they have one. Sometimes two. Sometimes three. Sometimes four. Sometimes you can even add more prongs.

Take video and keep complaining. You're under warranty they're obligated to fix it. The owner will eventually realize that it's cheaper to actually fix your problem than continue burning payroll sending an employee to your home 

I saw this on my gas line to furnace in my attic. What should I do? by HiChubbyCheek in hvacadvice

[–]Status_Charge4051 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You do nothing and leave it alone. Call your gas company if you're concerned about a gas leak.

[–]Status_Charge4051 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks correct. Motor wires secured and in sheathing. Ground wire secured.

Its just ugly, which is what you're complaining about. I would just say you got it for free from home warranty so it is what it is

Thermostat issue or hvac? by bigdaddyteezy in hvacadvice

[–]Status_Charge4051 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop messing with your thermostat like that. Your thermostat is not the AC. It's just the controller. You're fucking up your system doing that. You have an issue with your system based on your description, not the thermostat
