I hate finding installs like that, it does not take much more time to do it with a bit more care and diligence. I know this was not the case with that fault, but I see so many issues arising from poor quality installations. Last Friday I found a tev that was half soldered. Customer had it "regassed" 7 times since the valve was swapped, then finally got fed up with paying so called us in......was not a happy bunny when I showed him. I think more often than not things are done to a price, not a standard nowadays. Keep up the videos though. Appreciate you sharing 🙏
Completely agree mate, price seems to dictate everything. Always someone willing to do it cheaper 😏 and always customers who will expect a quality job for the cheapest price 🤦🏻♂️ Thanks for watching mate, appreciate it 🙌🏼👍🏼
Great video again 👏 I must admit that I've never had a leak like that on a liquid receiver . I do remember though a few year's back having a twin fan Daikin unit (can't remember the model) having a major leak on the coil on at least quarter of those braised bends. The unit was relatively new so I got the whole coil replaced on warranty. Then about a month later it did the same thing again, so I got it replaced again! Only to have it go again the third time. Daikin questioned my repairs so i sent all three coils back to be checked. They then later informed me that their was a defect in the manufacturing process due to the coils being produced in another factory in France I think? I later found out that other people were getting the same problem. I must mention that I love your tools and set up......very professional ,that umbrella is awesome 👌 . I could of done with that today while replacing a thermistor assembly. 😁
Thanks mate, appreciate it 🙌🏼 wow…..three coils 😅 They seem to be a pretty well known issue now ! I’ve stumbled across a few leaking on the twin fan units too !
Yes, we installed 8 twin fan R410a about 3 or 4 years ago. Three have had faulty coils with several leaks on the return bends, and one of the replacement coils also failed. We have also been given another coil and it is in the lockup just in case another goes. Was new Pipework throughout, purged during brazing etc.
Finally got to show off the brolly! ☔️☔️☔️ going to have to get one if they're back in stock. A little comfort makes the job even more worth while. You should get yourself a jet boil for days like that ☕️
😅 Yes mate, I’ve been waiting a while to get it out ! Comes in handy if you’ve got to get the outdoor unit cover off in the rain 👌🏼 Mate….I’ve just looked up Jet Boil, how did I not know about these !!!
They are worth every penny! Drink straight out the container too, instant coffee, coffee mate so you dont have to carry milk and some sugar and your away! I expect to see one in your next video 😂 bottoms up mate
Great video. I've been told my residential ASHP (Samsung not Daikin) is low on refridgerent and so I presume it'll have to go through the same procedure of leak test and remedy if needed, the filling up etc. Thanks for sharing

I had two AC guys come out and not fine leak I bought an $80 detector and it was going off-so many idiots work in HVAC and know everything if you ask them, but they are so smart they do not own refrigerant detectors.....
Thought Daikin was a good brand so got one for my bedroom last summer. Had nothing but trouble with it - noisy and loud, big water droplets forming on the unit and dripping into the room, etc. Daikin engineers were hopeless and just said "everything normal and to be expected, live with it". Got rid of the unit and replaced it with a Panasonic and couldn't be happier. Not impressed by Daikin.

😅 Thanks mate 🙌🏼 The umbrella was from Derbyshire Refrigeration ! Not cheap but handy if your messing around trying to fault find or swap a PCB and the heavens open ! 👍🏼👍🏼
looks like either factory brazing failure, or fatigue crack, ive came across a lot of daikin units with fatigue crack on pipes and condenser coils, it could also be the compressor vibrating too much due to high head pressure and how fast those inverter motor in the comp spins causing fatigue on that fitting, judging from how it sucks hot air from other units r32 operates at about 400psi under normal condition, but it might go higher with that hot air its sucking in
That open isolator is another case of Nobody-knows-who-did-it-Dan . I couldn't get my hands on that umbrella , but given how expensive it seems to be , that's probably for the better innit 👍

Found leaks on compressor's at the same weld spot on R410A units never expect it to be at the steel to copper weld. I swear by Cal Blue leak fluid had small leak on flair fitting at condenser liquid line took 30 minutes for micro bubbles to form my H10 couldn't find it would drop 15 psi over 12 hours. Not sure if you have access to Nu Calgon products give it a try if available.

If you were to buy a ducted split single head 14kw for your home which brand would you choose and why? Daikin, Daikin premium, Mitsubishi, Mitsubishi heavy, Fujitsu, Panasonic, Toshiba, Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Actron ?
Mitsubishi Electric would be my preferred choice for a few reasons. We have a good relationship with them so costs are good and delivery is good. The after sales, technical support and warranty have always been top in my experience also. The kit is generally reliable and works well which I guess is one of the main reasons. Also a good selection of kit ! Not to discredit any other brand as others are also good. I suppose it would depend on your budget 👍🏼
Well, despite what I said earlier about Daikin and their deteriorating quality, I have Daikin kit at home, installed FtXR-E/RXR series indoor/outdoor coils and apart from replacing a motor on the moving flap cover they’ve lasted nearly 10 years trouble-free (use them as my primary heat source in the heating season, as well as summer cooling, so they get plenty of use). The bearings are starting to squeal on one unit, so that’ll need replacing in a few years, but a decade or more isn’t bad. A true “Made in Japan” unit - it shows. Not cheap, though. Wish I could say the same for the Czechoslovakia made first generation Emura I installed. Rubbish, (best Donald Trump voice) disaster, absolute disaster. Replaced it with a Stylish. Very happy with that, so maybe Daikin have learned from their flirtation with crappiness. Think there’s no such thing these days as brand consistently. Lots of manufacturers running on brand fumes, selling junk at top prices, hoping people won’t notice they’re trashing their good name.
My electronic leak detectors don’t find Nitrogen. I do have a leak detector that will detect Trace-a-Gas but it’s about 4 times the cost of normal Nitrogen so didn’t think it was needed in this case 👍🏼👍🏼 The Trace-a-Gas has found some hidden leaks for me before though and saved me hours of pain on larger systems 😅
@@hvacuk8975 If you are interested, actually I can send you a free sample to test. We are a manufacture of HVAC tools. We are looking for UK local professionals to test some of our new products. You can send me a message or email to service@elitech.uk.com. Sorry to bother you if it annoys you.
Many HVAC people do this and do not even own detectors. I had two at my business and could not find a leak. I bought an $80 detector and found mine-they think they know more than they do, but could not find my coil leaking-hehe.
My Daikin has leaked out no less than a half a dozen times since 2015. Then they had the audacity to not honor their warranty the most recent time it leaked and failed. Had to spring for a $3000 condenser. Not happy. I'll be using another brand for our renovation.
Hii. I am interested in becoming a HVAC engineer. I had a few questions (1) Is it a seasonal job? (2) Can I become an HVAC technician or installer by doing a 15 day fast track course in RAC and HP? (3) Is it worth getting a qualification in this field and are there enough job opportunities in London or nearby? (4) What jobs can I get into after doing a 15 day fast track RAC and HP
Good to see some interest in the trade 🙌🏼 It’s definitely not seasonal, there is a lot of different equipment and applications that all fall within ‘HVAC’ or Air Conditioning. A lot of buildings now rely on the air conditioning to heat the space as well as cool. There’s also spaces that need critical cooling all year around, data centres, servers etc. Personally, I took the apprenticeship route into the trade which involved 3/4 years day release to college whilst learning on the job at the same time. For me this was the best route and enabled me to gain experience. I was then classed as an ‘improver’ and after another couple of years was classed as an engineer. I’m not discrediting any short courses however in my opinion it’s impossible to become an experienced engineer in any trade after just 15 days. It may pay to approach companies and explain that you are interested in getting into the trade. If you are enthusiastic, keen, hard working and show willing you will be noticed ! Good luck 👍🏼👍🏼
Another thing to know about HVAC is it's not a 9-5 job and can be very demanding some companies will try and work you till you drop literally and then you have a call out rota most are a week on call good pay at the end of it but some quit as they have very little out of work time you got to find the right balance
Greetings from Katy, Tx USA. Nice to know you see freon leaks as well. It seems the manufacturers can't build the units fast enough or good enough to keep the freon where it belongs? What are your thoughts on zoom locks? Those pressed fittings? Ever seen those leak?
@@innercityorganics no I was referring to zoom lock pressed on fittings, there is no rubber seal. I don't have a problem with brazed joints, the manufactured joints are the bigger problem. No matter what brand. Seems it's only getting worse.
@@innercityorganics So I decided to dig deeper and found this tidbit that I was unaware of: Q: What is the material used to make the O-ring? A: Hydrogenated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber (HNBR). I suspect each fitting has two of those "O" rings. So this is good to know, because if I see that in the field gonna require who ever to replace line set for me to do it. They expect that seal to last 25 years, but guarantee it for only 10. So after finding that I keep on brazing my fittings. Thanks for the input. 😀
I’ve fitted lots of these units. Touch wood never seen this before. Hope it stays that way too! Can’t be dealing with swapping those under warranty 😖 I have done lots of PCB swaps with the infamous U4 fault. But they’re only 20min swap jobs so doesn’t bother me too much.
I'm confused, you rightly complain about the wiring and other aspects of the state of the unit yet stated at the beginning that you recently serviced that unit. Why did you not report the faults then?
Who said he didn't report? Even if he did, he would be blamed for an upsell and most customers would decline a fix for a working unit. I am a homeowner saying that, but I also own a business.
I didn’t think it would be needed here, Trace-a-Gas is about 4 times the price of Oxygen Free Nitrogen. It has found some interesting leaks for me in the past though on bigger systems 👌🏼👍🏼
@@hvacuk8975 After seeing the real leak i must confess.... You are right ;).... I m still breaking my head on a leak 500 grams per year R134 in a restaurant. Cant find that leak looking for it for some time now.... Even with hydrogen..Going to try helium tester soon... Life can be hard sometimes
Yeah, as a lot have said, Daikin’s quality has apparently slipped. No way should that receiver have leaked on a fairly new unit, nor that coil distribution pipe. Unless it was a hack job install (which I suppose given the other horrors like that cable - hey, sure, why not, when in doubt, just wrap some insulating tape around it :-) no one will ever know…) The first generation Emura indoor fancoils were a piece of junk, I know this from experience and that wasn’t down to poor installs. Come on Daikin, you can do better than this.

R-22 system in 2019 how do people get away with installing r-22 its illegal now but damn thats not even worth fixing
It’s r32 lol not 22. 32 is the newest one
Yes , they lost the plot , poor quality , having same leak problems on factory welds in South Africa
You could repair that.
Odd place for a leak
That's what *she* said. Sorry, I could not resist.
Ah man what a shame. More junk. And a poor install also.
Why dont you use hydrogen leak test here ?
I didn’t think it would be needed here, Trace-a-Gas is about 4 times the price of Oxygen Free Nitrogen. It has found some interesting leaks for me in the past though on bigger systems 👌🏼👍🏼
@@hvacuk8975 After seeing the real leak i must confess.... You are right ;).... I m still breaking my head on a leak 500 grams per year R134 in a restaurant. Cant find that leak looking for it for some time now.... Even with hydrogen..Going to try helium tester soon... Life can be hard sometimes
@@Hoppa12345 Really ! That sounds like a right pain mate 😬 Just think of that feeling when you find it though 😅🍺 I’ve never seen Helium used !
Yeah, as a lot have said, Daikin’s quality has apparently slipped. No way should that receiver have leaked on a fairly new unit, nor that coil distribution pipe. Unless it was a hack job install (which I suppose given the other horrors like that cable - hey, sure, why not, when in doubt, just wrap some insulating tape around it :-) no one will ever know…)
The first generation Emura indoor fancoils were a piece of junk, I know this from experience and that wasn’t down to poor installs.
Come on Daikin, you can do better than this.
Hi Man, can your send your email i would like to sendo my resume for you, I am a mechanical engineer and I live in Portugal.
🇹🇷🛠️👍🤳
she is a leaker
Daikin is super poor tbh overall. Very poor.
