    I think that the average person with a little intelligence can tell that this man is a professional, and I dont think he’s creating anything! I think the choice of right or wrong is a personal choice made by an individual, what about all those certified tech’’s that choose to do the wrong things themselves. I have learned what to look for when some of these so called “pros” come to my home to rip me off from videos such as this, so keep up the good work Doc, an informed consumer is better.

    Do you ever tell your viewers that they have to be certified, by law, to handle or even mess with refrigerant or you could be fined $28,000 and goto jail? All your doing is creating ‘Jack Leggers’ that make it harder for those of us who play by the rules and get trained and certified.

    They come in handy.

  • hvacjeffco:

    don’t you need low loss fittings on you hoses ?

  • bobbyton80:

    I understood what you were saying

  • leshoffman1:

    I didn’t say a low head was an an indication of acid in the system but over time do to high heat can cause acid to form in the system. I tatally agree an acid test kit is the only way to be positive as to whether acid is in the system or not..

  • DrZarkloff:

    The entire system could shut down if you have a condensate overflow. That’s providing you have an emergency shut off connected to the control voltage.

    oh and dr.z there was water on the emergency driain pan under the evap coils, so i cleaned it ,and put water in the drain pan [pan was dry as hell], then it start working again, will the blower not run if there no draining going on

  • DrZarkloff:

    Make sure that you are getting the right voltage to the unit. The breaker could be going bad. Otherwise, the problem will be either a bad blower relay or a bad run capacitor or a bad blower motor.

    dr my evaporter coil is freezin up becuse my blower dont turn on, what should i be looking at. sometime it will kick in if i turn off the fuse and turn it back on.
