Most Common AC Problem That Kills Office Comfort

Hey guys, we are at a counselor's office and the counselors need some help Air conditioner is not running, they hot, stay tuned This is in the same complex as my business, knock Knock, hi, hey, I've come, well hello, I'll come check on this air conditioner, okay, mind if I come in? Come on in, what's it been doing? Uh, not working nothing at all, nope, uh, I checked the breaker, uh-huh, everything went fine, there was nothing tripped, um, and I don't know when it stopped working because we just came in this morning so what'd you do to it? I have no idea, I have a real good idea what's going on, um, I'm probably going to put up a ladder in this room right here, sure so I'll be in and out, okay? Yeah, no problem I have been here before and this is a frequent problem, they have a suspended air handler above that drop ceiling in that back room and when the drain backs up, it fills up with water and shuts it off, I'll show you something that might help me out, there's a drain sticking out above this condenser, hopefully that's to my emergency drain, I might be able to hook a vacuum up to that and at least get it started, we'll see, cleaned a coil today and um, I need to take that filter off I try to vacuum any water because if that filter gets wet and is in there you're gonna have no suction power none check that i'm down to one bar and that does make a difference on these vacuums they um if your battery's weak it doesn't have as much force this comes with another end that is cut at an angle and this diy vac will not fit i mean it'll you can put it get it to slide into the same slot but part of that angle is going to show and you're not going to get your vacuum seal didn't do any good did it try down here we got water and there's our non-existent emergency drain no wonder that didn't help me there's no cap where's the cap i gotta get the vacuum up here and vacuum this until my switch closes they had to mount this thing so high that's like four feet away from the ceiling that light is not suspended i cannot rest this water this vacuum on anything with a with water in it i think i heard the blower it would be nice to have a emergency drain that i could vacuum out i just turned the blower to auto i did hear it running we do have a place where we can put a float switch on it and i'll be honest i would prefer an SS2 in a situation like this i can break it right here it'd be real easy to install i'll see if i have an SS2 and give them a quote for that the the BG301 that i like to use i prefer it because it has a resettable switch on it but if i had an SS2 on something like that i could clear the drain from outside and not have to go above the drop ceiling the BG301 you'd have to you know forgive the mess looking for an SS2 got one right here results now that there's a cap on that drain probably not there's nothing in that drain i'm gonna have to shut it off to hook this up this goes in the secondary drain if you're wanting to hook one of these up the main drain is in the very bottom and this one is a little bit elevated if you see some that are at the exact same level if you'll look in one of them and might have a little plastic piece across the bottom that's how you identify which one is for your safety switch using this to help me tighten it up this over here that this float switch is wired correctly by the way it is acting right now i'm about to cut one of the wires that immediately shut it off okay so what i'm going to do now is i'm gonna wire my float switch my second float switch and right here i'm doing this so that the next time this happens it is hot up in here i mean really hot next time this happens i may not have to come in through the attic we are about to start our five minute time delay again all right i'm just going to get some zip ties and kind of pull this out of the way so i'll be right back i'm going to show you a little something now that i'm done to help me and maybe the next technician know which tile to take out because most people when they come in a room like this they don't know where the air handler is i'm on market that just stopped blinking I heard the blower come on let's check it outside we are running right now that's very cold let's check pressure put on a 410 system that pressure is nowhere near freezing up I can show you 410 evaporating at 50 degrees I do hope you enjoyed that video if you did how about like and subscribe I have three or four store queued up i went to one today um it was a preventive maintenance it was actually out of town people requested me to travel up there to give them a pm and boy did they ever need it i might have that one for you tomorrow if y'all enjoyed give me a like and subscribe check out the store in the corner and hey if you want to be an aciq dealer there's a link in the description i'm actually going to finish up one tomorrow it might bring you along thanks for watching
