You ain’t lying 😅 but I will say the majority of new build within the past 5-10 years is Lennox and carrier so I’ll give them … SOME benefit of the doubt, but damn 🤣 😆
I usually go on the low side of the pressure to test it. I have had situation where the original installer burned the valves and nitrogen leaked back into the system. That was a rough one to figure out. I had to recover everything and then pressure test with the valves open.
I ruined the charge in a new Goodman system like that once. Nitrogen pressure kept dropping, turned out the low side king valve wasn't completely closed from the factory, allowing the pressure to overcome the factory holding charge. Had to recover and recharge. Ever since then, I will just pressurize to 150 on a system with a refrigerant holding charge. And I make sure I can't close the valve any.
Oh and I hate those carrier coils it seems like they leak and then are way more difficult to swap . Love seeing the good ol DA sticker in the beginning of the vid 😂
Bro it’s a pain a the arse!!! And you have to buy each piece individually if you want it nice and easy 🤦♂️ That’s up there in Heathrow my guy 🫡 yall all up in there, right down the road from Mr del airs estate
@@KoolinwithKrauss that house is unbelievable. His wife still lives there after bob died . I’m one of the only techs allowed to maintain those systems at his house .
Rough right? Basically lack of thorough maintenances, as well as improper installation practices (imo). A lot of ducts not sealed at collars and sucking in from all over, lack of filter replacements etc
What part of Florida do you live in? I’m currently doing hvac in Ohio and thinking about moving to Naples Florida to continue doing it but I need to know how bearable the heat is during the summer.
I’m in central, west of orlando about 75 miles in from the gulf. The summers suck for sure. Just expect 90+ degrees and probably 100% humidity morning-day-night. I’m originally from Maryland and the summers were about the same, only difference is when the sun goes down there’s a break up there. But it can be brutal but it’s great. Depends how well you are with the heat now.
Would you ever replace a coil and not replace the TXV, if only due to possible contamination? You'd think Carrier would already have it nicely attached...
It would be fantastic if it was preassembled. But only way would be in it’s out of warranty and the cost maybe, can always just build it into the cost. But sometimes it’s that hundred or so that makes a difference
So dumb why does it not come with the txv? Carrier is wayyyyy over priced I think too. Also you’re not going to be able to run your line sets underground anymore according to A2L standards, idk why yall do in the first place but is what it is. ALL coils will eventually leak but we’d like to get more than 2 years out of them 🤣 Nice work brotha keep up the good content and work ethic!
😂 bro right?? I totally agree, even their warranty shit is stupidly expensive. Whenever we swap a lineset, we take em over head. Why Florida did it in the first place 🤷♂️ 😂 appreciate it!
Good to see a bulkhead in the van protecting the headski. Thanks for the video. Get healthy and stay safe out there.
Plans to seal it more, that’s just some scrap wood, I’ll get a nice partition eventually 😆 thanks brother good to hear from ya!!
@@KoolinwithKrauss Scrap wood does the job. Do what you can when you can.
Hey Jake between Lennox and Carrier Evp. coils they are keeping you busy. lol Great video.

Love taking the service valve caps off and finding leak lock
@@HVACGUY see that shit?! 🤣 after I freed it up tried to use my hands to get it undone, but NOPE 🤦♂️
Krauss in the house!! Love the videos. Low side pressure is what I go with.
Yoooooo!!! What’s up Dan-Oh 🫡 I agree
Nice job ... Thx
Thanks as always Eduardo 🫡
That’s why there are a lot of pistons in some of the older units. People get lazy and don’t install them and leave piston in place.
Very true! I’ve seen a lot of techs just remove the txv all together
Sup Krause. Saw you on the road the other day near sanford. Crazy guy waiving you down in the black explorer. Keep them videos coming brotha!
YOOOOO 💪 🫡 My man!!! Appreciate the support bro!!

Whoaaaa that’s a good point, especially when you encounter something like that, and then it’s always in the back of your mind!! Good call

I remember when I did the vrf they made us pressure test at 800 there was leaks that didn't pop up at 400...
Man 😳 hell of a lot of pressure, but makes sense!!
maxing out that van, and putting that Inficon to work
Bro, I’ve gotten more shit in here now since then 🤦♂️ but it is coming up clutch
That damn check in kiosk 😂 Out here running calls on a Sunday sitting in the truck watch this 😂
Dude that shit is so annoying 🤣 brother be safe out there and crush it make that money!!!

@@noahbaggett9037 it looks like it for sure, that’s pretty awesome man, shows the type of guy and tech you are 🫡
Have to go by the max pressure on that aluminum coil
250 to 350. I try not to get close to the 450 because it will mess up the plug and leak eventually the weakest point of the whole system.
Solid point!! I don’t want to risk that either that’s why I like to keep it low, unless you just can’t find that bastard 😆
That unit does not look more than 2 years old.How did it get that issue
Rough right? Basically lack of thorough maintenances, as well as improper installation practices (imo). A lot of ducts not sealed at collars and sucking in from all over, lack of filter replacements etc
I pressure test both at 250

I go around 200 to 300 usually let it sit for 15 to 20 minutes then vacuum and let it sit 10 no drop and good
That’s a good procedure!! You find that you pull it down to fast but there’s still some moisture in the line?
@ yeah I always let it sit if it goes up I let it sit a bit more . But I always pull way below 500 usually around 200

I heard that!! I need to start wearing mine 🤦♂️
Low side always especially if you have transducer bruh...U KNOW
Ayyyyeee!!! 😳
That is so stupid that they wouldn’t just either braze that in or make it a 1/4” port connection with a flare.

Talk junk about Lennox, but it comes with the TXV and drain pan attached. Unlike Trane and Carrier.
Yup but hell Lennox has to provide all that as often as they leak 🤣 their only saving grace is
@@nhfdtb Lennox is way superior to Carrier
@@dumptrksyour high
Trane also comes with pre installed txv and pan, it's been like that for the past year or so. At least on the TEM6 air handlers
@@dumptrks boooooo 😆
