Jay, I worked as a security Guard at a dead end job for years. I watched your videos on my night shifts so I can learn as much as I could. I felt so confident in what you taught me, I quit my job and went to hvac school in the year 2020. I did so well. P.s. they actually used a lot of your videos for training, especially how to use a multimeter. I have since graduated hvac school, received my epa universal certification, and I am currently working a union hvac job as a service tech. I really hope you get to read this, and I hope you know how much you have changed my life. Please never stop doing what you are doing!! You are and will forever be a role model for me! Thank you Jay, you are the man! P.s. if you ever open your own hvac business I would be happy to work for you!!

Thank you - i watched a number of similar video's & this one is by far the most helpful. Just achieved success at my house! Got an extra -8 degrees at the vent! Also - when i removed the protective cap on the red side of the condenser's valve it hissed - there was pressure between the valve & cap - so i bet that's the cause of the leak. This fall / winter i'll vacuume out the refregerant & replace the valve. Thanks a tonne! FYI - i knew there was a leak already because i'd had a pro out 2 years ago & they identified the issue as a leak using all the tools. So in my case, I think it was reasonable for me to use this simpler method. Also, for anyone going to try this after attending KZread-Uni - it was very helpful for me to write down a list of instructions, things to check and potentially stop / quit ect - instead of trying to go and do it from memory.

Not if you do it the way portrayed in this video. This guy stated how it just to basically help the system along until it could be replaced. If you were to add refrigerant your own home system (and want it to actually operate for any length of time) then there is more to it than what this guy has done. If a system is low then there is a reason and that reason (i.e a leak) needs to be addressed. Furthermore an AC system is pretty picky about it's charge level which is why we use certain numbers like superheat and/or subcooling to make certain that we have the correct charge in a system. Just adding until the suction gauge shows above freezing is asking for problems especially if there is already a known leak. If you overcharge and start slugging that compressor than it's going to cost you big time.

Nice vids straight to the point but would have been nice to teach others also how to charge by ambient 80° outdoor plus 30, your high side was right at 110° and your low side 40° spot on for a quick temporary charge up. Great work and awesome videos man!!!

65 to 70 psi on lowside, and 250 psi on the highside is perfect for R-22

Well done, as I needed a refresher... however, for several years now I use a graduated cylinder. It still had 9# from the last time I did tapped the system. I put 3# liquid in the graduated cylinder. I then attached to lowside and very gently add liquid as not to slug the compressor, pause repeat etc. until pressure is 60. The tec that showed me that said doing this way, no need to monitor the high side. The HVAC system is from Fall of 1991 and they added the central A/C in June of 1992. I am sure one of these days I am sure I will need a complete new HVAC system.

Again I wish to thank you for the awesome educational instructional video! I couldn't help but notice that you eluded to saturation = 40 on an 80 degree day. Are those the green graduations that you are reading 40 on? Also, how did you know that you needed to be at 40 on an 80° day? Where do you get that information? I suppose it's a chart out there but how do I search it? Thank you for any answer. I really appreciate it!

Great info Jay. I would like to see the proper way to recharge a system. Just for my own personal knowledge . I really enjoy learning from your videos. 👍

So, Jay when your in the field do u still use your manifold or do u have a digital or even probes with say MeasuresQuick? When I switched to probes (Fieldpiece joblink)it took a day or two but I never go back to hoses again. Probes are so easy to charge with as well.

Hi Nathan! I am still old school. UEi wanted to send me a digital set along with the probe and clamp kit but because of this virus situation they never got around to it. So I suppose I can wait a little longer until I get sponsored ;)

Tnks, very much!

You're welcome! Thank you for watching and commenting!

I tis is time to run the AC again this year, it is not cooling as it should, the return line is not cold but warm so I am adding R22, following your instructions. THANK YOU

Is connecting the high side optional if you are just charging through the low side? I have no TXV and only care about the low side / superheat it seems? Thanks your videos are helpful

Yes, it's ok. Some units only have 1 service valve on low side. A measure on the high side is just "nice to know" it's not way off the clock
