    My daughter is disabled..severe cerebral palsy, she is blind, can't talk, but as soon as she hears your voice she gets excited and when your music starts she laughs and giggles during the whole video.... became our nightly thing to watch your videos together....

    @key-sendo 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    wait hold on a minute curtis you said that because there was only ice on the evap coil and none outside you knew it was low on refrigerant? I didn't even think of that but it makes total sense. Most of the time If I see a coil is fully iced up I will just leave the call and come back without even attempting a leak search. But knowing this info helps a lot

  • @dashcamandy2242
    @dashcamandy2242 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    If you don't find an active leak, there's a good chance it was just simple lack-of-use and the tendency of pressurized gas to seep out through various seals that caused a slight loss of charge. I imagine valve stems leak on HVAC much like it does with tires, it's par for the course.

  • @jthonn
    @jthonn 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Just a little bit short on freon causes all that. When mine gets low, it doesn't freeze up, but efficiency goes in the toilet. I have heard that any system that sits for a long time will lose refrigerant, even if it is on a molecular scale. Nice job

    Those half-strung red wires look like a local ( to South GA ) fly-by-night smoke detector company. In Moultrie, they went around preying on the elderly, installing pre-broken chinese units for "half the price of the bigger names" , but they never worked and the company would fold up and go scam another place (Thomasville, Tifton, etc )
