How hot is it where you are?

Pretty strange to say, but it's a nice 71 degrees here in Oxnard (Ventura County), California. Typically is warmer than this during time.

 

So usually lower seer or older units have a piston orifice at the air handler(evap) and it has to match with the condensing unit, most higher seer units use a TXV. So you can’t mix the two…….
The air handlers come assembled, but I’ve definitely had to strip many units down to get thru small attic access holes…….
If your there helping him, I’m sure he’s more than appreciative, it can really suck working alone sometimes, even just asking him “hey are you doing ok, need some water” is a huge plus!

 

Here is the 16 SEER we got. Does the job for our 2200 sq ft home.

 

Other than a pad on a pad, looks clean. I would paint the black insulation with a roof coating or they sell a armaflex paint that’s white, the black stuff will be gone in a year or so from the sun.

 

... but it's a dry rain!!!!

 

113° and you got a $200 fill up coming!!!!

 

Toasty in Tualatin OR

 

I’ve unpacked sweaters for next week when we get that cold!

 

5.00 a gallon for premium, 16 gallons. Not horrible.

 

I was thinking 38 gal tank!!!!

 

Nope, 26 that even 30 miles into "empty" I have never gotten more than 22 gallons into it.

 

94 @ 4:30am.

 

Well, we decided to have the Compressor replaced rather than changing out the unit. It was a few thousand cheaper and immediate, rather than a few thousand more and waiting until next week. We most likely would have had to change out the air handler up in the attic too so a few thousand on top of that.

It had a pound of extra refrigerant in it so that may have contributed to it failing early. As of right now, knock on wood, it’s cooling faster and better than it ever had. I guess it could be my imagination though.

 

Hot?

 

I feel for ya man. Hope this squares you away.

 

Eat a big comforting dinner; have a few drinks; and sleep like a baby tonight!!!!!!

 

More like swamp ass and bat wings! Especially when you are hiking pole to pole in full PPE with no shade cover

 

97 @ 2am, "only" 93 now.

 

What ozzy song you jammin?

 

Crazzy Train

 

I was going to guess "close your eyes forever"...

 

Too hot if you ask me. Not as bad as record breaking highs last year.

 

Supposed to be 87 tomorrow.

 

It's a toasty 18 here at Ft. Lost-in-the-Woods, MO.

 

Yeah, it is a touch warmer here. The front comes through later and we'll get down to - 14
