Replacing a Midea Mini Split Board
Here I replace a mini split board. I show pulling it out and then putting in the new one and then show the system running afterwards. Not too bad of a job but as always these are a bit annoying.

AC Installed By A Handyman.... How Bad Could It Be??
มุมมอง 2.3K2 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Pretty much what the title says. Homeowner had a system installed by handyman and it did not go well. Homeowner also happens to be the parents of one of my employees. We will be replacing the coil and compressor this Wednesday. Tune in then to see hopefully a live stream. #hvac #hvacservice #airconditioning #hvaclife
Which One of YOU Did THIS???
มุมมอง 2.4K16 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
Here we go over a diagnosis that is kind of funny. Another HVAC company installed the system right next to this one recently and it appears that they sat on the system. This caused the fan blade to rub on its housing. The fan was not able to run due to this. #hvac #hvacservice #hvaccontractor #heatpump
How To Diagnose a Bad Inverter Board -AND- Confirm It's Your Only Issue

Here I go through the most basic things to check when you come across a failed inverter board. This video is focused on boards that are obviously failed and how to confirm that a component did not take out the board. It does not go through some less common failures such as boards putting out improper signals, which is not as common but if we come across that we will make a video on it. #hvac #h...

Thank goodness for Goodman!
We have a 20 year old unit with a 6 year old capacitor still going strong, it’s a MARS made in the USA. Now they’re made in Mexico, few months ago, the contact switch went bad. but I replaced the capacitor with an Amazon FOCSPROD capacitor and it only lasted a few months. The other day is was 107 and the AC went out. I thought it was the compressor or fan motor but I went ahead and put the old MARS capacitor back on, thank goodness I kept it. It started right up and house is cold. I can’t believe it either. So I am definitely going to buy another Mars capacitor but will try and find some old stock on eBay. I am blown away that 6 year old capacitor is still working. MARS is good
Mars is second place to Amrad for me
I have a trane heat pump packaged unit & i have 3 disconnects boxes on side of the house, which box do i need to install the surge protector to?
There should only be one disconnect for the outdoor unit and it should be fairly easy to determine which one is for the unit
I hate those mini split boards. I get why they are installed like that but at least they could make the wire longer
Appreciate you guys, wish you were here in Italy.
That’s why I don’t sell those pieces of junk to anyone unless that’s their only choice. There’s a bunch of DI wires out there that will want you to work on them soon, so be prepared. Just say no.
What is a DI wire?
Bros 😊
Sorry for the vertical footage. Misplaced the GoPro for a few days
heaviest i ever had was one with cast iron heat exchanger, had to just drop it through the attic hole to not squish anyone
minimum efficiency inverter board??? what in mothers milk
That’s what I’m saying
Once I saw you open It I completely understood what you meant, couldn’t imagine it because I’ve never seen that before 😂
Some people are just A holes. Keep doing what your doing and move on , just ignore him. His type is never happy unless he gets it for free.
Hmm. What were they thinking?
Wow that was bad !
Is that the sound of liquid refrigerant reaching the compressor?
Honestly I have no idea but that seems like a good theory
Looks like piss back up into it ugh
Damn I'm not even in the trades and even I know better than that. How drunk was the installer?
Very drunk
Probably didn't pull a good vacuum,that's could be what's causing the compressor noise,non condensibles. Hard to tell from the short video,but that pvc flue looked suspect as well
Furnace was not replaced. I didn’t even look at it at all but I will take a look when we’re there tomorrow
@SurfBrosHVAC probably nothing wrong with it,I had just woke up when I watched and made that comment,looked like it wasn't pitched right
Oh wow haha unreal. I'm not a fan of Allstyle coils to begin with.
Hi
Hi guys
@@christopherreus7799 what up what up
Howdy
@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity Hola
@@SurfBrosHVAC sold my first two Airtemp 5 Ton Side Discharge Inverter HP/AH/20kW Changeouts. (Gree Flex). It’s been the slowest summer in 27 years, so this job is welcomed. Any problems with your Inverter installs or good advice. Thx!
@@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity torque the joints to spec, then torque a tad more or they might leak. Other than that the systems are fine. Don’t overpromise extremely low energy consumption cause they’re really not that efficient. The main benefit is the noise level so if that’s what you told them you should be good
This is what you call stuffing 15lbs in a 5lb can. This is poorly engineered for marketing. Make it so the board is a part of the fan motor with a temp sensor to the coil and all you do is provide 240vac on startup. Nice vid on explaining.
I prefer the Milwaukee nibbler
The audacity of some clients is insane. Another great install 👍🏽
Not a good sign when they made nice out of order label on the t-stat for the hottest portion of the house lol. Not to mention the Philippine management company call center.
Is that where their call center is? They honestly suck to deal with
@@SurfBrosHVAC hard for me to hear but, from what I heard it sounded like it. I dealt with a similar situation, not Airbnb though.
That happens a lot man. Over the years I’ve had lots of people complain or want money off. Once they see your willing to continue to come out and handle their “problems” they give up. They’re just looking for money off or the in-laws or wife’s brother comes to visit and they say oh I would never get that I would get this. It’s amazing how much run around I’ll get. Handle everything then a year later they call you back for more work or give you a referral and they’re very happy. Think people just try to get some money off or have a little buyers remorse, they get over it and life’s back to normal
I was waiting for your beverage to spill and short out the board. That would have been EPIC. 😮❤
I almost always have a cup of coffee on me. Only place it ever spills is on myself
No mask you white boys are crazy
Back in 2008ish this same exact scenario happened with my parts. They ordered a York, but got a luxaire. My parents did not care, as long as it cooled and heated the house. They were made by the same company. People are dumb. That same hvac unit is going strong. Except it had to get serviced 2 years ago. A weedwacker hit the line set, and that had to be replaced
The breaker half-tripped, or only one leg flipped? I take it the linkage between the breakers is sloppy, or do you encounter this sometime even on good breakers? I suspect the compressor has been on its way out for some time, considering that an aftermarket hard start had been installed and the breaker is oversized.
@@Straycurrent this was a second opinion for an already dead compressor. I’ve seen one leg trip a lot of times I don’t know why
Why is the roof looking wet under the condenser? Oil, water, etc?
It’s water. The higher roof was draining onto the roof I was on and then there was a low spot right next to the unit. Quite convenient
Okay... I like how you guys work. Keep doing your best
I think you guys did a wonderful job. Just one question why didn't you guys hang the flex or duct..? Or did you and just didn't put it on video..?
@@robertspadezhinton he wanted to blow insulation over the ducts after our work
Couldn't you just drop the blade a little?
Great 🎉job....killer installation 🎉
Looks like marshall wells, portland OR
Just do your job and fix it. Stop putting the blame on others
@@victormayoral7809 It was you
@SurfBrosHVAC lol. No it wasn't me, but that roof does look familiar. I was just giving you a hard time. Good job man
Could you please post both part numbers? A 3 ton unit on a 20 A circuit is pretty amazing. As far as the American Standard thing, this should blow over. The new company is METUS (Mitsubishi Electric Trane United States) obviously Trane is where the American Standard comes in. It’s clearly a Mitsubishi unit.
Mitsubishi SVZ system. I’m gonna make a review video of it
Good troubleshooting fellaz.👍 keep it up
you can see the bracket is bent
I'd ditch the board and motor if out of warranty and go with a psc and a capacitor. Depending if it's communicating if it is id replace the control board at the furnace with a non communicating board.
It was like 6 months old. Non communicating 24v signal board inside and outside. Definitely in warranty. Dude opted to wait like 2-3 weeks for this board I told him would fail again rather than get a new motor
Lol bit of a relic that 😂 you guys are best
The way those two cages are bent in, I would guess someone stepped on them, maybe some parkour practitioner who got on the roof. We have a-holes running through peoples backyards where I live, most back yards have 5' to 6' stacked 4" cinderblock walls, that have very little structural integrity, so occasionally blocks get knocked off. They like running across sheds too, which ends up in a lot of dents and ruptures. Edit: just finished the video, looks like the first unit to the right also has an indentation.
It was you
@@SurfBrosHVAC Haha, my parkour days are decades and at least 50 pounds ago, my foot would have gone through those cages!
Move the blade down on shaft. If enough room
The blade needs to be at the correct height to efficiently pull the air through, otherwise it might just churn the air.
Very hard sell on getting anywhere if the company that installed the unit. It could have been anyone . Good luck lol, I like to hear if he was successful on collecting money for a new fan motor.
Looked on the google. They sell new fan blade grills. Around $150. Perhaps they are so rusted that they are weaker now. Sit on the new one and I bet it is stronger🥸
Good for collars not so much for take-offs with the oval hole.
Likely the guy who put in that newer unit did sit on it etc. However, I think it's unfair to accuse someone of that with no proof and tell the customer to go after him IMHO.
Yeah I told him after there wasn't really any proof so likely no recourse but we weren't filming that part of the interaction
Who was it? Be honest
