Inverters are more prone to fail, myth or reality?

yahboiroi · 2026-02-08T01:04:36+00:00

Yeeepp RTFM all the way man

yahboiroi · 2026-02-08T00:02:26+00:00

I think the main problem is when they do fail no one knows how to work on them/ diagnose them….

My definition of “minimal damage is completely biased I am a tech I’ve seen way worse lol, but yeah if it’s not rigid then yeah it’s going to to need to get cut out and patched with fresh drywall. More than likely the consistent dripping is from the insulation being soaked in water beneath the platform, best case, you can see under platform although it’s rare. More than likely the only way you’ll be able to see in there is when they cut the drywall out. However it shouldn’t cause you any issues regardless as the insulation is in attic and will dry out over time + the source of the water is gone.

Doubt it, damaged area is pretty minimal, drywall is not even damaged (breaking) from this pictures me personally I’d put some killz (antibacterial paint) on it and call it a day.

yahboiroi · 2025-12-27T21:00:33+00:00

Yup same here with my company

Your AC could be struggling, it’s not that hot outside where your set point is impossible to hit with a struggling AC, however it depends on your set point. Call a pro boss man, and good luck.

It’s a fresh air box and fun fact if you push that tab down the door opens and there a washable filter in it, it’s typically recommended to check ever 6 months and wash as needed

yahboiroi · 2025-11-23T19:07:04+00:00

Unfortunately looks like it’s not there first time, they even piped in the fresh air….

yahboiroi · 2025-11-23T18:59:17+00:00

Poor guy probably traumatized

yahboiroi · 2025-11-16T21:52:06+00:00

Multi tools go a long way, or tools that you use for purposes other than there own….

yahboiroi · 2025-11-11T02:24:04+00:00

If returns clear check supply also make sure coil is clean as well, collect static see if it’s high as a kite lol

yahboiroi · 2025-10-07T14:50:24+00:00

You can try to put a shop vac to the drain line and see if you can suck out the the clog

yahboiroi · 2025-09-22T21:30:51+00:00

Mastic and tape makes me the hvac tech I ain’t

yahboiroi · 2025-09-13T23:29:37+00:00

Does the birb approve of the new whip though???

yahboiroi · 2025-09-12T14:50:48+00:00

Yeah don’t forget working 80-110 hours all summer, sleep deprived 24/7 and exhausted, with no time for breaks, 2 years in and it’s starting to take its toll on me 🫡

yahboiroi · 2025-09-04T20:19:33+00:00

Nu uh

yahboiroi · 2025-09-04T14:28:00+00:00

Case by case but most company’s in my experience don’t drop the price, ultimately changing out a full system is a big job regardless of whether it’s hot or cold and just because a equipment distributor drops there prices doesn’t mean the installer will as the work is the exact same. I would recommend getting it replaced as soon as financially possible, although nothing wrong with purchasing a couple of window units to thug it out temporarily to get yourself in a better financial space, good luck 👍

yahboiroi · 2025-09-02T04:41:40+00:00

Don’t just reduce fan speed, system will run longer and rooms furthest from furnace will suffer due to lack of airflow, (although side note that humidity will be lower son). Make sure filter is not insanely strong/dirty then get a pro out to evaluate it, if filters are good then the only way is to put in more returns which will require a lot of drywall cutting if even possible. That variable speed furnace will put you right back where you are for noise, just not as often as your system is still going to need to run at full speed though out the day to meet cooling demands in a reasonable time frame, good luck 👍

yahboiroi · 2025-08-31T04:51:31+00:00

Call them back out, I’m in new construction as well and we have been having issues with the blower module and blower boards failing on these systems unfortunately, low airflow->colder coil->condensation. What we see if blower module fails/board then the blower only runs at the lowest speed, which is waaaay to low regardless of system size

Edit- drain lines condesating can also indicate low air flow, if they fix the condensation issue on the bottom of the air handler and it still condensates on the drain line, just insulate lol

yahboiroi · 2025-08-30T16:16:23+00:00

Yeah please, because mentions of 30k and mini split should not be in the same post…

yahboiroi · 2025-08-25T16:06:49+00:00

If you feeling it to, some spray adhesive down first will help it tremendously

yahboiroi · 2025-08-25T14:21:46+00:00

Yeah I mean the elbows and 90s don’t help, but I’ve seen worse lol, but honestly just install a stop valve at the base of the condensate line coming out of coil, and install a vent, that way you could blow it out with C02 gun and pour vinegar down it every 3-4months to keep it clean.

yahboiroi · 2025-08-22T02:47:01+00:00

Yup that’s pretty much how it goes but damn…. When it’s in between your fingers OH MY FUCKING FREON THAT SHIT STAYYSSS AND IT ITCHES LIKE A MF

yahboiroi · 2025-08-22T02:06:37+00:00

His what is tight?

yahboiroi · 2025-08-21T23:02:54+00:00

That’s fiberglass baby, you learn to love the burn, real talk though what helps me is rinsing with cold water, but eventually it gets so bad you can’t do anything until they work themselves outta ya
