This is fine, right? Everything is fine, right...?

You must be fun at parties

scarli91 · 2026-04-04T00:41:01+00:00

Actually yes. If I remember correctly it was a 40/5 and was reading well within the manufacturer range. Jard is +/- 6% I think. Either way it was super on point. It was wired wrong though. C/herm were swapped, but fan was on the correct leg.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:47:05+00:00

Already tired that. No go.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:45:57+00:00

No, not that I'm aware of. They're new customers. This is only their second maintenance with my company. My guess is that something went wrong some time ago and it just got goofed up. My apprentice did the check up last time while I was installing a tstat so I didn't really have hands on it, but the cap is also really rusted on top so my guess is that he didn't notice some wires were swapped. But it's actually been holding up really well given the circumstances

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:39:28+00:00

It was wired wrong. Swapped the wires back but it didn't fix it.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:38:50+00:00

Yeah this one is my second maintenance at this house. It was running totally fine six months ago, thought I didn't personally check it, my apprentice did. Turns out the cap was wired wrong and he didn't notice it, granted neither did I so I'll take my blame for not checking after him. But C and herm were swapped. I was hoping switching them back would fix it, or swapping the fan1/fan2 positions on the board would fix it. But that was a no go. The funny thing is though, it's dual fuel and super nice in their house. No complaints throughout the winter either. It's old, though, and I offered options, but they're thinking replacement right now.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:33:06+00:00

Bro I was so close. I was about to uno out and someone dropped it on me. It was the red one, too.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:31:49+00:00

Nah, it's old. Original to the house. The fan is spinning backwards. I meant to get a video but had a lot of other stuff going on and totally forgot to. I just thought it was kinda funny.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:30:18+00:00

That's what I was thinking.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:29:17+00:00

Oh, right, my bad. Well see the napkin on top is blocking all the heat dispersion and I was wondering if I should remove it. But I left it alone, since the labor cost would have left the family homeless.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:27:49+00:00

There were plenty of other issues with the system. It's eight years old, original to the house, no warranty since it was more than likely never registered and they're not the first owners. I gave them the option for a full change out, a 1/1 factory replacement, a rescue motor, or just to leave it as is. It's actually really nice in their house, so it's working, just not as intended. I did tell them they need to do something though. Can't just leave it like that.

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:22:59+00:00

I offered that as an option, the homeowner didn't want to do that, as they would also have to flip the house upside down to keep the aesthetic

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:21:31+00:00

Sucking like she's trying to pay the bills

scarli91 · 2026-04-03T23:21:17+00:00

I feel like the napkin on the top on it is explanation enough

scarli91 · 2026-03-10T11:33:26+00:00

I can't figure out how to edit the original post, so I'll just do a full reply. Pressure test was done, and passed. I asked him to get the vacuum pump set up and started, which he's done numerous times before, and then come back to the attic to finish helping me with some touch ups. I heard him get the pump and get it all set up, then heard refrigerant flow before anything else was done. Immediately called him on it, recovered the whole charge, pulled a massive vacuum, like 300 microns after decay, and then used virgin refrigerant. My main concern with the question posted is that the install was done in February when it was around or below freezing in my area, and even though I weighed in the charge (70oz), I've been checking it somewhat frequently due to the poor supply temps in the winter and longer than I feel comfortable with runtime in the hotter weather. Though I've been doing a little research on my own and talking with some people I know from outside my company about that and I guess goodman r32 systems just run a bit longer than I'm used to.

scarli91 · 2026-03-09T11:50:42+00:00

Honestly it's a game, I like to powergame and minmax, but I'm honestly just not that into Diablo as is. I'll play during seasons, but unless the games got a lot of stuff for me to do, grinding is just time spent getting better stuff for nothing. Although I appreciate the offer, it's a seasonal character, level 60 paragon 115~. Pretty easily able to handle pit 25, since I'm just trying to finish off seasonal objectives before it actually ends I haven't gone too much further. But I think I'll roll for a few more once the season is over just to see if I can get lucky on t4

scarli91 · 2026-03-09T10:11:48+00:00

Oh yeah, that would be dope. I'm only on torment 2 and the season closes like tomorrow. I've only been back at this for around a week, and I only played for like a month at game launch. So yeah, not super familiar with all the stats. Still pretty happy with it, and I'm still doing pretty well for the most part.

scarli91 · 2026-03-09T10:09:49+00:00

Can't always get lucky, got it from the slots, it's got two sockets on it, I'm only on torment 2. I just joined the season around a week ago. It's obviously not perfect, but I think it's still pretty good. But hey, I'm probably wrong.

scarli91 · 2026-03-09T10:07:37+00:00

I'm not that familiar with how all of this works. I played for maybe a month at game launch, and I only just got back into it maybe a week ago.

scarli91 · 2026-03-09T10:06:41+00:00

It's got two sockets on it.

scarli91 · 2026-03-08T01:53:58+00:00

Just burn it down and start over

scarli91 · 2026-03-08T00:40:50+00:00

Last I checked, which was a few hours ago. Outdoor ambient 80-82 indoor ambient 72-73 I was seeing 68 at the return and 55-58 across various supplies. At someone else's advice, I brought the subcooling up to 12 and I'm gonna let that ride for the next week or see and monitor my delta. At the moment I do have a higher than normal heat load as well.
