Just curious what your opinion is on the Factory Start assist kits, why it did not get replaced and what could have made it fail ? Thanks. Like watching your videos especially since I have a 1985 2 Ton R-22 Trane and I love it. Keep it cleaned and, I don't let it cycle, I leave it run for a few hours in the morning and night then turn it completely off at the power panel so the transformer isn't even hot. It's just AC with the A coil on top of my forced air oil burner here in South Jersey. It's been 108 Heat index here for the past week but she is still putting out 52-55 degree cold air at the floor duct vents. The reason for the question regarding the factory start assist is: I have one for my unit but have never installed it. The pig tail is there to plug into for the start assist capacitor but I just haven't felt the need to put in in . Like to just get your opinion on the Factory Start assist if possible. Thanks and love your videos and your cool personality ! Great job !

Great video Ted back when trane was, still making good units before the microchannel disasters most American brands are doing these days. I hope you hsve bought up a bunch of 410a by the pallet before the prices shoot up so you can keep that unit running until it's dead which will probably be another 5 to 10 years. Happy 4 th Ted even though its over already.

That condenser sure sounds solid ! Perked right up starting and immediately got to speed...sounds nice and quiet.

From all the paper debris and damaged wires, I thought it looked like a start capacitor detonated. Don't see that as much in hvac condensers as you do in sanitary pump station panels. Good video. Thank You...

Wow 2012 and that paint job on that unit is still looking shiny and new, thats because its not in the direct sun light, and i bet this unit really runs way more efficient because of the fact.

Thanks for posting, nice simple fix. Those last gen reciprocating compressors have a higher pitch than the older fat pumpkin recips. Just curious, did that system have a TXV if so, I am curious if it starts every time after thermostat cycling, especially if it is a HSO TXV. Maybe it has a piston, which is then OK. Was at a customers once and they was wondering why on the hotter days, the thing would blow hot are for about 40 mins before working...Some one did not replace the Hard Start on it. This was happening for a few years as the bought the house...must have been the previous tenants that never had it fixed correctly.

So, is that how you discharge a capacitor? Brush it multiple times with your fingers?

That’s nothing I was working on a unit a couple of weeks ago that the cap had exploded. Dielectric fluid EVERYWHERE. Ended up having to replace the contactor, it kept getting stuck pulled in no matter how much I cleaned it. Pain in the butt.

The $270 a year we pay for two annual HVAC check-ups and a free air filter is the cheapest insurance ever. Our previous R22 system lasted 20 years with no problems until the end, and we just got a new R410A this winter. The summer check up is next week.

To all you homeowners out there. Check your condenser for which capacitor it has installed and buy one. Keep it on the shelf. It will eventually burn out on the hottest day of the year. For $16, change it yourself. Take a photo of the connections , shut the power and short the leads before swapping it out

Nice! Very similar to the unit I put in for my mom back in 2002. I just posted my first heating and air video about it on my channel.
