to hot brother !! should've went to the truck, turned the air on and re-grouped / you did a hell of a job especially with the heat slowly cooking your brain GOD BLESS you buddy

Good job AB! Much respect for working in the heat. Make sure you're taking water and car air conditioning breaks.

Triple e vac makes big difference in pulling a vacuum

Great job, brother.. that's a rough situation with that call.. super cool video thank you for sharing.. keep the videos coming 🤟💯🌎

Nitrogen gas is inert. Unlike refrigerants, it will not swing during a pressure test at varying temps. It will be stable, ie both sides equal like you said. In an attic, with nitro pressures from 250-350, you may be able to hear the leak in the evap. Attics are super quiet. Sometimes you’ll surprise yourself what you can hear with your ear by the coil. I’ve also used audio type leak detectors. You’d be surprised what they can pick up audibly. Leak will sound like someone blowing in your ears, 20’ away, no matter how loud it is in the ambient surroundings. Some guys will mix nitro and small bit of refrigerant, with high nitro pressures, you can pick up the leak with a refrig detector. I’ve never used UV dye for a leak. Zombie mismatched hackery units impossible to charge. Good vid.

Great job!

Aye bro good work on that call, you did what you had to do and its working at the end of the day good work, also good thinking on the speed tap last week i had a callback on 4th of July due to a recent blower changeout my coworker did, and he did not check the speed taps and it was causing the unit to freeze it was set to low which on the chart was for 2.5 ton where it needed to be on the max which is a 5 ton. Airflow is a commonly overlooked issue with A/C man its crazy.

Good job with the fff up cards you were dealt.

A bit off-topic, but here's a puzzler for HVAC techs: Everybody knows Ohms law: Amps= Volts/Ohms. SO, a White - Rogers type 91 24 vac contactor. measures 17 ohms coil resistance with your multimeter. 24 volts /17 ohms = 1.4 amps. So WHY does it really only pull - 335 milliamps (or 0.334 amps) ?? Only the sharper techs need comment.

Totally understood. No flak coming from me.

you can only do what the customer is willing to pay for , don't beat yourself up. 😊 call it a day that's a wrap go home see ya tomorrow

you can use that to see what your supply should be according to humidity and temperature in the space

Think you did a fine job with what you had. My first instinct would be Cya, cause the moment you touch it. It's yours. Your thoughtfulness should be commended. Fortunately my company would turn them down.

the heats getting😊 to ya buddy

Refrigerant trapped in the oil in the compressor will make vacuum take forever. I wouldn’t worry about moisture too much, it’s just refrigerant boiling off as you vacuum.

lol. Underground Railroad access. You at Harriet Tubman’s house?

No static pressure readings? No airflow measurements?

That system was a real pile of shit and sometimes all you can do is get the suction line as cold as possible and hope for the best. I don't know if I would've dropped the fan speed, I'd try and move as much air as possible. I'd say under the circumstances job well done.
