  1. Yea that could be a better time to use it if you were already in need of an upgrade. If ya tried it and it worked that is great. If not, a new system would be the way to go cause the old ones can sometimes be Electricity Hogs $$$!! Don't get me wrong though, I am not one of these that recommends to have an upgrade after a few years! Just on very old systems. Maybe 16 years or older. What happens is it gets stopped in the small expansion valves (there are different kinds) that prepare the refrigerant for entry into the evaporator. When this happens it is hard to even blow it out with nitrogen and parts have to be replaced.

  2. Yea, they make it. I will tell you though that they can do more harm than good. In an ac system you have many places that can get stopped up from it. Then you will have another problem. I do now of people using it and it working, but also now of many that has messed up. So in short, I don't recommend it.

  3. Have 25ea 110V and 2ea 220V outlets.

    I was a welder for a few months about 7 years ago building semi trailers.

    We used Miller Invision 456 welders that were wired to a 3 phase 480V circuit.

    Was under a semi trailer welding on an axle assembly on a hot, sweaty day.

    All I remember is squeezing the trigger on the welder and next thing I know I am about 15 feet away on the concrete waking from a convulsion. :confused2:

    Damn that hurt the joints.

    All was good, though. Got a good laugh with the co-workers once we knew I was fine.

    Bastards made fun of me for days, lol.

    They'd get my attention and then drop to the ground faking a convulsion.

    OUCH!! That had to heart. No injuries at all? If not you were very lucky.

  4. j3grizz; its a 4 ton unit in a 1600 sq ft house. Well its 3 in the morning and it was 80 in the house so i turned on the ac, and its 72 outside. it took not even 30 mins to get from 80 to 71 in the house.

    It sounds like the unit is operating ok for now. I'm curious to see how it does on another scorcher though. The unit seems to be sized correctly. ;)

  5. Since we are on the subject, my Daddy was exposed to tons of asbestos insulation on his job working @ the Kaolin plant!! He is fine so far and I pray that it stays that way!! He just so happened to take many incriminating pics though, even after the plant was told to get rid of it. So the bases are covered, hopefully that card won't have to be pulled!
