My humble opinion Most mini split issues are an issue with Freon. Usually from a bad install. Either careless or inexperienced at flaring the copper and or tightening the nut

@stevetanner525 3 ай бұрын

Agreed. Some of them come with pre-flared linesets, and usually they're gouged or deformed so I always redo them. Had one the other day where the flare nut cracked at ~8 ft-lb (1/4", was supposed to be 11.8). I'd just had the digital torque wrench recalibrated, never seen a flare nut crack like that. Crappy pot metal that looks like brass but certainly isn't up to spec. Replaced with a USA-made nut and it tightened right up to spec, no leaks.

I've noticed the use of pine needles a weed block where you are. In Canada I've never seen anyone do that, it usually bark mulch, but the needles seems like the obviously better material. I'm going to give it a try as my pine tree is a never ending supply. Loving the videos.

@HVACGUY 3 ай бұрын

Pine needles or Douglas Fir needles ? Big difference down here

@bw1841 3 ай бұрын

I don't know where to tell you to look, but I thought I read some comments of people saying a big fluffy pile of pine straw for mulch can catch fire, right next to your house, and therefore some local governments don't allow it for house side mulch. You might want to research that. I think it was on one of this Hvac Guy's videos, he was working on a unit where there had been a fire.

If you are smelling moth balls near the condensers, someone has been suffering lizards on the units. I had a pest controller specialist give me that inside tip when dealing with areas where lizards are a problem. Apparently mothballs is the cure! Ive tried it and never had any repeat issues of the little critters frying themselves on the boards

@unclefester4822 3 ай бұрын

Someone probably put moth balls in their unit to keep the mice from chewing the wires.

Good thing on the mini splits is there’s only a couple of manufacturers but a gazillion different versions and very little documentation that’s easy to locate. Wish Bluon would add more to their database. Watch that dang wasp 🐝 they are very sneaky and will come atcha outta nowhere to pop you. Being allergic to em makes me hate and scared all at once 😮

My very humble opinion. The residential customers are getting beat over the head with mini splits. They have tripled the cost of heating and cooling your house with almost no added benefit. Love your channel Curtus

Either or both the condenser fan(s) or compressor don't sound normal with that ticking sound as the system ramps up and down. What is the other condensing unit there for?

Question??? I thought you said you heard refrigerant flowing when you initially checked the inside. How was it flowing if the compressor wasn't working due to the capacitor?

@christiansmith2855 Ай бұрын

I'm trying to figure out why the first thing you didn't do after getting the one system back up and running is check your running amperages of your compressor. The second thing is how are you going to test freon without making sure that your components are clean. You didn't check anything inside. You know for a fact that can answer coil is dirty. Therefore, your pressures are not correct and how are you checking superheat or sub cool when you didn't put not one temperature probe on nothing,... And 160 suction pressure is hardly ever okay. Just saying

Mini split sounds horrible

@unmountablebootvolume 3 ай бұрын

The difference between the first and second call is quite striking. First call: No beeping smoke detector, barking dogs, rat crap or piles of trash, everything is labeled correctly, clean, normal equipment, even smelled of moth balls and not of trash! And then there's that second call... Shitty mini split, even more frustrating than usual, Shock hazard, cryptic error code, mucky outdoor unit, annoying video ad, couldn't find the problem, and worst of all: WASPS!!! Could be worse (rats, trash, barking dog, actually getting zapped, sewage), but also far better.
