Just wanted to say you're a great teacher, I'm learning a lot with your videos... Thank you brother.

Glad you take all the real steps for trouble shooting. Some guys just will say they need a whole new unit lol

I always charge liquid through hi side when breaking vacuum. Scrolls have checks that restrict liquid from back feeding and slugging. Also, 201oz is 12.5lbs not 12lbs 5oz it’s actually 12lbs 9 oz. Good vid man… keep getting that money.

Hey Josh, the refrigerant scales should be removed from the case while in use. The tabs inside the case that support it during transport will hold the weight off the scale and give you a wrong reading. You can close the case and set it on top of it for a level surface. Great videos. Looking forward to more. Thanks.

Good call on going with new refrigerant and filter drier. Covered all your bases to make your repair bulletproof. Solid diagnosis and solid repair! 👍🏼

I've been in the trade 2 years & I just found your channel, brother! I've been really enjoying the videos & have definately learned a few things already. Im also sold on those Sman gauges! Thank you!

I just came across your content, I am impressed with you technical skills and video content. I wish your Delta t was at least 18f everything else looks spot on

GREAT VIDEO... Feels great to understand the gauges better...just finished my hvac tech course and its all coming together..and to be able to see your real life scenarios and understand is awesome.. thanks man.. new subscriber

Great video

I would have just pumped it down and changed the dryer. The problem with the TXV is probably the power head, which 90 percent of the time is the problem. I guess you don’t know who has been working on it in the past, but a new dryer one size larger would catch any contamination. All that liquid refrigerant should not have been dumped into the low side. It will make the oil foam, and cause a lack of, lubrication just like a flooded start. I always charge liquid thru the high side liquid line port, so it will flash off before it enters the compressor. That delta T across the coil is low, unless you have a ton of humidity in the building. The suction line should be 1 1/8”, for a 5 ton unit. Common mistake installers make. How much do you charge per pound for refrigerant? This is all just my opinion. Every one has their own way. Good video.

Should’ve charged through liquid line. Sometimes it can flood the compressor.

That was Great!....Thank you friend!

GOOD JOB JOSH

Thanks!

Great video brother thank you so much

Good video. Keep em coming

A 15 degree delta t is not good. Lol on a 73 to 75 degree day it should be more like 20 degree delta t! Especially with 410A something is off about this? Did you verify the indoor coil size matches the unit tons? The superheat is good but still seems like its underfeeding or their is an airflow issue. Like dirty coil or undersized return maybe...... I always shoot for 20 degree delta t but with a low heat load that should be easily achievable! Especially on a 5 tons unit

Good job.

How do you call the connector to your vacuum?

15 degree delta t is too low. Did you have to go back and add in more refrigerant? Plus, the return needs to be fixed. You might going back out on bad compressor. This wasn't well checked.

Will a unit that runs r401a have a R22 txv?

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Great 👍 video,,,good ,,,,man,,,👍

Great video!

good job

nice work

Why did you added liquid refrigerant to low side instead of high side on startup, Thanks bro

Interesting 🤩

How long did a job like this take? Great video!

Is it common for thermostatic expansion valve to go bad? Three techs told me the thermostatic expansion valve is stuck.

Why did you not replace the fliter dryer

Did you charge threw the low side when weighing in the initial charge?

Does the Fieldpiece app work with the 460s

what is the item called you used for the vacuum pump?

Great video
