    TXV is good idea 👍 that wrist band is 100% Truth! ☝️
  • @Neto-1984
    Adding a sight glass to any piece of equipment makes it look more professional...I've even added them to boilers for visual inspection of water flow.
  • @zachtruax3222
    Bubbling sight glass with subcooling, noncondensables? Not all noncondensables cause high head
  • TXV,Airflow, Blower Speed,Ducting and refrigerant charge. Mismatching equipment is never a good idea. Installers, previous techs mis diagnose all the time. Thanks for sharing. Quality complete diagnostics
  • @joeshearer1247
    I think it’s your testo clamp thermometer. Mine always showed more Subcool than I actually had with the Iconnect style cooper strap probes
  • @drod6424
    Great troubleshooting. And who doesn’t love a cliffhanger?
  • @jaymartin5095
    l would have been tempted to suggest they call back the installers. But you kept your cool and now probably have them as a customer for life.
  • @jmalmy2068
    Man, I appreciate your page. Love the content and constantly learning from you. Thanks!
  • @Gcanno
    Thank you for the video.
  • @joshpearson1693
    Carrier usually has a txv subcool on the data tag, not that this had a txv but from my understanding it is usually between 7 and 15 degrees depending on the unit. That’s when they say it has a solid line of liquid.
  • @helmsajr
    Good job Rick hate going behind someone else nature of the beast.
  • @sterlingarcher46
    Would that be artificial subcool from non condensables ? I mean if sideshow Bob was the one pulling the vacuum beer can cold then that's possible innit ?
