What always helped me remember which way the freon was headed was to think suction is "sucking" it into the condenser. So liquid would be putting it in evap...good video. I like to close the suction king valve all the way then back it out a little to make it easier to close all the way when it gets close to 0
Yes that’s a good way of thinking about it i like your thinking. that’s definitely another way to do it, my brother does it that way he learned it from his trade school nothing wrong with it.
Great Video .. would have been good to add after your repair.. how you released the refrigerant back into the system...etc. Thanks bud. Miami, FL..where its always hot..lol
Yes i love those too, they always come in handy. Was a perfect tool i used when checking super heat and subcool with my meter as well. Then these came out and made it more convenient. But yes those analog gauges are great.
Wood can be very conductive as it holds moisture. Learned that from a utility crew who said never move a downed wire with a stick. He said a wooden fence can kill you from a mile down the fence if there is a wire on it. Will the high side always have that barrel shaped thing in line? How do you know high vs. low side. How do you cut the line and then reattach it?
The high side is your liquid line...the smaller line will generate more pressure on that side so they call it the high side. The bigger line is the suction line...it will have lower pressure as the line is bigger hence the low side.
Hey bro, I'm just getting into the trade. I might have a few requests if you don't mind. I looked for a video on brazing, I didn't see any on your channel. I have done some practice. Maybe make a video of you brazing upwards, with no sight on the backside.
my church heat pump did not start. I changed the contactor and I got 240 at the contactor. With the new contactor, I pressed it and it just clicked, not fan or compressor. I m thinking could it be a safety, LP, HP,? I did not reset the defrost board.
Yes you can do it that way too, both ways work if it’s already on outside then I’ll do it that way, but if it’s not calling outside I’m not going to go back inside and turn on I’ll just manually push contactor outside saves me a trip. Whatever way is more convenient for you.
Can you please make a video on how to (hard wire a uv light to a 2005 carrier 3ton unit where or how do I find source of power on unit all electric heater. Any idea how to do it the right safe way. Thank you in advance.
Yes when i get a chance i will definitely make a video about that, it depends on what type of UV light you want to use, there are 24v or 120v UV lights. We usually use 24v UV lights and you can hook them up one wire is your 24v(R) and the other is your common(C). Depending on your electric air handler, if you have a terminal block you will see terminals for your low voltage that shows R and C you will hook them up there. But if you don’t have a terminal block you will see wire nuts with your thermostat wires and air handler wires where they are connected. You can add them there instead just make sure you hook to 24(R) usually red wire, and common(C) usually blue wire. And trace them they will eventually trace back to your low voltage side of your transformers former. Just make sure if you use a 24v UV light don’t hook to the high voltage side of transformer it’ll end up frying that UV light. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask me.
You didn’t purge hoses. Now noncondesables in condenser! I’ve seen people installing units that dont run vacuum. They just open up one valve and push refrigerant in other, they say it bleeds out air. They are wrong. And you not purging air before you pump down is wrong.
Very useful! Came across your channel and iam loving it. I live in Canada 🇨🇦 and I strongly thinking about getting into HVAC and refrigeration mechanics. What can you recommend? Is it good money?
Thank you bud, and yes definitely get into it, it’s a great trade with lots of learning and very good money. It’s a perfect career as well put your time into and have your heart into it and you will be one of the best technicians there are.
I do it that way too sometimes if it’s already calling for outside, but if it’s not I’m not going to walk back inside turn thermostat to cooling then come back outside that’s time consuming you gotta work fast and efficient. As long as you know what you’re doing you should be fine.
What if my outdoor unit has a Microchannel coil? Some DIY homeowner will blindly follow your video and will RUIN his/her Condensing unit. They say, there are many ways to skin a cat … your method is the most painful.
@@kyleoliver6208 you’re wrong too clearly you weren’t there, so you wouldn’t know what i did. Also you can’t tell me other companies don’t do that, come on now.
Damn dude, clear information and straight to the point, I can’t thank you enough for this🙏👍🏼
No quema cuh!!! Puro Takuache Cuh!!! 😂😂. Had to say it cuh. For those of you who don’t know google it!!🤟🤟
You did a better job than way bigger channels...thank you.

I learn a lot from your video, you did a great job. Thank you, Cuh.
Easy to understand and explanation goes over the what and why not just how very nice
Great explaining in the video bro! And explaining what everything does
Great info. The second the camera turned off, psssshhhhhhhhhhhh… there goes “de minimis”… 😂
Good stuff, straight to the point 🤙🏻
Great videos. Please keep the content comming.
I just sub'ed cause you seem like a cool guy. Prosperity to you my friend
Clean video , appreciate it man , keep it up !
Great video explanation bro , definitely explains a pump down , thanx for video
Appreciate your explanation big dawg!
No purge ? You also have to check if the unit have pressure switches so I doesn’t cut off mid pump down
Can you do a video of pulling a vaccum with the sm380v gauges you have.
Great Video .. would have been good to add after your repair.. how you released the refrigerant back into the system...etc. Thanks bud. Miami, FL..where its always hot..lol
Great video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much, will do my friend 🙏🏼
Thank you for the tips. Awesome job!!! 🔥🔥🔥
You’re very welcome, I’m here to help and show you guys what i know✊🏼
Still watching papa, keep it up good job.
Thank you my brother ✊🏼
Cool video
Good video. But what if the compressor keeps going off when doing pump down. And there's no low or high pressure sensor.
Good video bro
Thank you!!!
Good job R. I use old school gauges.
Yes i love those too, they always come in handy. Was a perfect tool i used when checking super heat and subcool with my meter as well. Then these came out and made it more convenient. But yes those analog gauges are great.

well understood good work
Thx you bro has a new HVAC tech this was good 👍 info keep putting out videos

I wanted to see him use the recovery unit to clear his lines. I want to make sure I don't mess up the Ozone lol.
Facts
Do you walk to your job?
Pretty much it’s ok. Thanks
my church heat pump did not start. I changed the contactor and I got 240 at the contactor. With the new contactor, I pressed it and it just clicked, not fan or compressor. I m thinking could it be a safety, LP, HP,? I did not reset the defrost board.
How do you put a heat load on the coil ? To get most of it into the compressor?
think it easier pump down unit with it on
Yes you can do it that way too, both ways work if it’s already on outside then I’ll do it that way, but if it’s not calling outside I’m not going to go back inside and turn on I’ll just manually push contactor outside saves me a trip. Whatever way is more convenient for you.
This tech rocks the cousin edgar cut better than edgar himself.
Please keep negative or non sense comments to yourself ( we all work differently in our own ways with great positive, profitable results :)
Yes definitely thank you🙏🏼
Purge the hoses. All the air in them is now in the condenser.
How do I reinstall the unit and why does my HVAC guy say we can't recover the coolant and that I'd have to pay a few hundred dollars for new Freon
Can you please make a video on how to (hard wire a uv light to a 2005 carrier 3ton unit where or how do I find source of power on unit all electric heater. Any idea how to do it the right safe way. Thank you in advance.

More videos carnal ....
Where does the refrigerant go?
inside the outside unit (condenser)
👍
That’s exactly how I do it too !
Yes very good my brother!
Shouldn’t he have bled the air out of low side hose ?
Excelente
Thank you 🙏🏼
what happens if you just close both lines and just cut them?
There is freon on the line and you will be severe injure
I forget to do that. I need to learn that.
Yes it’s a good way to keep your refrigerant.
What if the unit isn't running?
Amigo, Buenos dias, Como puedo obtener esta information en español.?
Sup Edgar
So that's where my digital gauges went!?! 🤔 😂 🤦🏻♂️
Y quema oh no quema cuh! 😂
What’s the point of putting a line on the line you’re closeing?
Buen video primo ! Igual podrías ASER videos pero en español aver si ases unos en español también
Pa que si la raza no le gusta trabajar en los aires
Why is you liquid line attached to your blue hose ? And not with the red one?
Its not...its attached to the red line. pay attention.
AirCUHndition
My fan blows from the back of the outdoor unit instead of from the front side of it
by the book this is incorrect but i guess it works
Yeah wood doesnt conduct unless it has moisture in it, humidity, gotten wet few days ago, green wood, - be aware, been there done that.
Just shut high side and put the unit in cooling and pump it down that is much safer if i did that over here in uk ill get sacked
I do it that way too sometimes if it’s already calling for outside, but if it’s not I’m not going to walk back inside turn thermostat to cooling then come back outside that’s time consuming you gotta work fast and efficient. As long as you know what you’re doing you should be fine.
How ome all these refer guys let the refrigerant loose into the atmosphere? All the ones Ive had out, do it all the time.
If u have experience u dont. Need a guage set to pump down an outdoor unite without burning the compressor
and he dumps the charge !
Lol we all know what you are going to do next. It’s all vapor
What if my outdoor unit has a Microchannel coil? Some DIY homeowner will blindly follow your video and will RUIN his/her Condensing unit. They say, there are many ways to skin a cat … your method is the most painful.
and don't forget your paint brush to push down on a 240v contactor, when he had the disconnect pullout right in front of him.
And compressor was over heating and the the whole ac shutdown
Every body knows the video ended and he just released that refrigerant into the atmosphere !
Wrong, after the video all i did was opened up the lines and released the refrigerant back into the system, thank you though.
Haha so quick to assume, don’t call out others because of your own short comings. Clearly you release into the atmosphere
@@kyleoliver6208 you’re wrong too clearly you weren’t there, so you wouldn’t know what i did. Also you can’t tell me other companies don’t do that, come on now.
I do 😂😂
@@salvadorespinosa735 ive seen people grab a bucket of ice water and release it there , im not sure what the logic behind that is.
no bad 80% video
Thats so wrong..but if that's your way
What is the right way. Explain please
lol
Cmon bro show us the right way then
