Making a very dirty Trane package unit cool like it did when it was new. 😎

Thankful for all of the members of the Armed Forces that paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their Country. I hope everyone has a blessed Memorial Day.

Garage gym? Man cave? She shed? Bonus room? Shop? You can heat and cool areas like these plus more with a high efficiency ductless mini split heat pump. These units are very quiet both inside and outside. They’re an affordable way to heat and cool some of your favorite places around your home.

This is a contactor (heavy duty relay) off of a A/C unit. It is what turns your A/C on when the thermostat calls for cooling. If you look close, zoom in on the pictures, you’ll see a lot of dead black ants around and under the points. The ants are attracted by the humming sound the contactor makes, then they get smashed under the points of the contactor each time it turns on. Once there are enough dead ants under the points their bodies serve as an insulator which prevents the 240 volts from going to the compressor and condenser fan motor. You now have no air conditioning and all due to some little black ants 🐜 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

If you see these little pest anywhere around your a/c unit then spray them or put granules out around that area to ensure they don’t get inside your unit and stop it from cooling. This can help you stay cool in this Summer heat and save you money on repairs.

There are correct refrigeration repair and installation practices that technicians should never fail to do. Unfortunately some out there that will take shortcuts for various reasons and those shortcuts can result in your air conditioner not performing to the factory design capacity and efficiency. The black canister is a new liquid line filter drier, these must be replaced anytime the system has been exposed to atmospheric air/moisture. Nitrogen should be introduce into the system while brazing, this prevents scaling inside the copper. Then a nitrogen purge and pressure test to check for leaks. Then the system should then be evacuated to below 500 microns. This will ensure the system is dry (free of air and moisture). Now the system is ready to be correctly charged.

If you have a repair made to the refrigeration part of your A/C here are a few questions to ask the tech:
1. Are you replacing the filter/drier?
2. Are you using nitrogen while brazing
3. What micron level did you achieve while evacuating the system?
4. Are you charging by superheat and subcooling? Or the manufacturers charging chart is acceptable.

These repairs are expensive, especially in today’s economy, check out your hvac tech to ensure he’s doing his job correctly.

Another happy mini-split customer! Do you have a hot/cold master bedroom, a bonus room, a man-cave, or a garage you’d like to heat and cool? A mini spit is a great way to condition those areas and more. They’re very efficient and very quiet and one of the best options for heat and A/C

This is the unit that had the stopped up condenser coil. When a coil becomes dirty it restricts the airflow coming off the fan. This unit was barely moving any air due to being so dirty. This is after the professional cleaning, you can see how much air is blowing into the tree now.

Another very dirty condenser coil… Stopped up condenser coils reduce capacity, reduce efficiency, are very hard
on the unit (compressor, condenser fan motor and capacitors), and they won’t keep you comfortable.
