Excellent video thanks very much

Can I use my Rheem model # to order a spare capacitator? Also, I watched your video on how to install a capacitor; however, I'm confused as to where the wires go. I have an oval capacitator with two four prong thingy on top. The old one does not have labels like fan, "C", Herm ...OK I know only dual capacitators have them labeled, so I should take a pic of the existing one prior to disconnecting & follow that pattern. Is there another way to know how to connect them? I understand it's one wire connect on each of the four things on the connector. I'm a female, I appreciate your videos.❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you!!!!!!

@4m "the unit in the sun will work 10h, while the unit in the shade will work 8h" why would the outdoor unit work more or less when it only turns on based on the... nevermind, I think I got it. The one in the sun is hotter so it can't pump the heat out of the house as easily thus it works longer. I think it was just the phrasing that threw me off. I'll probably build a shade for mine not only for better cooling, but for hail and snow protection. It's a heat pump, during the winter it doesn't work as well if there's snow on it. Spraying water onto the coils on hot dry days will increase the efficiency of the unit massively, but it also uses a ton of water. If you're somewhere where water is more scarce than power it's not worth it. Spraying water around the unit doesn't do much. Plus it could spray mud and stuff onto the unit. Not all outdoor units blow up, mine sucks air from near the house and blows it away from the house. Once the heat/light comes in the windows it's in the house and needs to be pumped out. Blinds/shades don't matter much. They'll hold some of the heat near the window where it can radiate out a little, but most of it will just stay in the house. I experimented with those UV filter tints on my sliding door. Put one on the outside, and one on the inside. The outside one was markedly cooler than the inside one. You've gotta worry about weather and stuff, I just added some white duct tape to the corners to ensure it won't blow away. Looks a little janky up close but works quite well. Wish I had those tilting windows so I didn't need to get scaffolding or a ladder out for the other windows. Another bonus to putting them on the outside is that you can use them on double and triple paned windows without worry. You're not supposed to use it on those else the vinyl gets too hot and starts melting. Next I'm trying to figure out how to shade a whole side of my house. The walls are barely R15 and that morning/early afternoon sun practically shines through the wall to heat the house up. A shade sail can work, but every install I've seen is on a porch or existing window or as a roof. Not vertically freestanding, or on the side of the house. Plus it gets insanely windy here, so it'll have to be stronger than average.

Thank you!!!!!!

I had one of those Midea ones and liked it a lot, gave it to my gram when I moved. This saddle shape seems even better. Now if only they'd make a C shaped one for windows that open sideways. It might not need a bracket either, just support it with those adjustable feet inside and out. Could do a min-split instead, but those are expensive and hard to move/remove when you're done. These window units can move with you.

I have weird symptoms. Firstly, it should be known that my filter went wayyyy too long without being changed. I noticed that my house wasn't getting cooler so I went and changed it. Still, there's little or no airflow. The minimal air I'm getting seems cold, but there's little of it. The outdoor unit fan spins and I can hear the condenser hum. There didn't seem to be any cottonwood or anything plugging it up, but I sprayed it with the hose anyway with no luck. I went back inside to check the blower fan. I can hear it spinning. None of the return air vents are blocked. All the cooling vents seem equally weak. I've checked the duct work, it's all in tact. I'm stumped. Someone suggested ice buildup from the bad filter, but I didn't see any (at least on the outer panels of the furnace, I didn't open it). Just in case, I shut it down for 8 hours to let any ice melt. No luck. Oh, and I noticed that there was condensation on the insulated line that comes from the outdoor unit, so I'm assuming I'm not low on refrigerant. I don't think it's my thermostat, I haven't changed anything in ages, and also special thermostat programs usually limit how often the unit is on, but it told me my unit ran for 22.5 hours straight... With no inside temperature change.

Good stuff, been watching u for years.

Thanks for pointing out the practical uses of thermal imager, e.g. new house defect check, definitely going to get one

Thank you. Compressor Kickstart capacitor and relay went out on mine last night. Dad thought the unit was about 7 yrs old. Turns out it was more than twice that at 0906. Thank God it wasn't the compressor (1st thought).

Thank you

Its 2024 & love ur tutorial!!

Hi Jay, I’m getting 24v to the defrost board but no voltage at contractor so contractor doesn’t pull. I researched that it could be the defrost boards fault or could be defect pressure switch. I went through all your ac related videos and did all the maintenance and testing and all is good, but no voltage from defrost board to contractor. Do you have a video related to this topic? Thanks Jay!

No proof or evidence?? Haha SOFAKING BUENO MAN!

Thanks Jay, been looking for a new window unit and this one knocks it out of the park. 👍👍

I tried to clear mine, now it's not cooling as before

Just a curious girl wanting to know how it all works… now I gotta to watch that Myth Busters episode lol. Thanks for the info!

On my split a/c unit outside, the plunger will not depress on its own when the thermostat calls for it but it starts the unit as long as manually depressed and cuts off when let go

Tip: after cutting the insulation around strands of wire, before pulling off the cut insulation twist it while pulling it off. It will twist the wire strands nicely.

How can you get 280 or 300 volts out of a 240 volts from system? Curious about your statement during the breaker discussion.

I’m 23 and I’ve been in the buisness for 4 years. One young guy to another in the trade: GET A GYM MEMBERSHIP AND EXERCISE! Those compressors and Freon drums get lighter over time I’m telling ya😂

my sticker is completely rubbed off, any advice? I think my compressor or fan motor need fixings...i did the stick thing and it turns on but whistles loud...then it shuts off and just hums. Then when i go back out and do the stick thing again and it repeats

Thank you for helping me to save time and money…

Wondering what your relative had. There are many different kinds of stones with oxalate being most common. If it does work with one it might not work with others and you are now herding cats. Appreciate the share, but too many unknowns. For those that lost they stones, great, but I am not convinced it was the juice as they most often pass on their own.

This is just the video I needed. My question is what kind of foam did you use to make the window flush? Do I need some sort of tape? I've been using painters tape but it comes loose.

The 3 Units in the thumbnail are the same brand (Trane) LOL. Edit : you should do more thorough research on the models before making a judgement, those 2 units with strikes on them in the thumbnail are made by the EXACT SAME company that made the one in the middle.

Thank you very much for this video. My fan diagram matched the one you showed in this video. So I hooked up the brown to the capacitor and the purple wire opposite the black wires. The fan is working like it should. Thanks again.

Brilliant tips and instructions from Jay AGAIN! Thank you Sir your videos are amazing and so informative. Keep up the great work.

Appreciate the "REAL WORLD" ignore the purist that do not follow there own advise when in the field. Time is critical in running a business and the elites ignore that fact to scare customers.

Wow awesome 👏 thank you so much jay 👍 have a wonderful weekend and may God’s blessed you 🙇

Man, thanks so much for this great video. I had a very good idea this was my issue but didn't have the confidence to go and try to fix it. Your video made me feel better and I gave it a shot. Cap was fine in my case BUTTT there were a few wires going to the compressor that were arcing for some reason. I replaced the wire and sealed it all up nice and tight. Working like a champ. Surviving the hot Florida sun for another day thanks to you. Also ordering a space cap. so I have one on hand next time it goes out. Genius suggestion really.

Thanks for all the info . Can I ask a question. Where do you think my problem is, sometimes the ac fan blower outside wont click on. Only clicks. I already replaced the capacitor, contactor, thermostat, and control board, and the ac fan motor ohms out good. Even pit a new air filter in.

Thank you. The instructions were easy to follow.

They should make those into a heat pump also

2 fan motors instead of just one as found in a standard window rattler. A condensate pump is needed to get the water over "hump" to get it outside. More parts...more electricity needed...more points of failure.

Someone needs to make one for horizontal sliding windows.

Wow awesome Jay. Thanks again! I could install that as a back up for hurricanes I can plug to my generator.

Hello 👋 good buddy good to see you jay 👍 😀 😊 ❤. I never heard of one of them before. Are they more costlier than a regular unit? Well I like it better than the traditional ones..I think 🤔 I'd like to get me one of those. I hope all is well with you buddy and your family. My uncle is doing much better now he is back to driving again but he still is razor thin. They stopped giving him chemo because it was causing his kidneys to fail and the cancer is still growing it went from four hundred to a thousand but I don't remember what that means but it can't be good though. Been a lot going on here I lost a neighbor of mine this morning he had struggled with copd disease for years and he got double pneumonia and passed away this morning he was up in his seventies. And a couple of weeks ago I helped dig my childhood best friend grave and I helped in covering him up. I haven't talked to him in twenty nine years he got heavy in drugs and it completely messed his mind up he didn't know me and the day I helped bury him I came home and got a call that my neighbor out the road from me was found deceased and he was gone for a couple days they said so not a pleasant sight my best friend was discovered after three days and they couldn't embalm him and no viewing and they had a graveside service for him i was a pallbearer and we packed the casket in the small family cemetery and everyone gathered about a hundred feet away because of were he was dead for so long 💔. After that I was trimming a wild lemon/orange tree and it has huge thorns on it and I got jabbed in the knuckle and I didn't know they were poisonous and my hand swollen twice it's sized and the worst hurt ever it put me out of commission for a week and just now getting back to normal. The grass is growing soo fast here it's hard to stay on top of it..well good buddy Jay take care my friend and tell everyone I said hello 👋 and I love you guys. Take care and God bless you and your family.

Thanks for sharing Been follow your Video since you were in Minesota Like & Shared always

Perfect video this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Thank you so much for this video. My outlet stopped working when I plugged in my treadmill in the living room. I had no idea that there was a GFCI outlet in my kitchen that was the source. Hit the reset button and Im good to go. Saved me from calling an electrician!

Very good information......very thorough and complete description of what to do and not do. Excellent video!! Thank you!!!

It's the first time I've seen a window unit like this, very clever design. Thank you

Nice, do they come in 18,000 or higher BTU’s with 220V?

From the sound outside, I believe the drain plug was not pulled. The fan should not splash water.

Jay. Your channel is the greatest. Even when mine is working fine. I watch your new releases and share with my father ... You are brilliant, great camera work, great communicator. Corey from Florida

Shouldn't you be charging that vapor

I keep blowing out my 3amp fuse. Replaced the tstat and rewired thinking that was the culprit. When everything was plugged in, turned on to call for AC it blows out the fuse. Could there be Short somewhere else?
