Suction pressure, head pressure, subcooling, superheat, delta T. Taking all five of these calculations into account on every service call is critical. Even if you must do further diagnostic tests to pinpoint the problem, these five factors are the groundwork before more effective diagnostics can be done. I would also add static pressure as an […]

As a leader, it’s healthy to take a step back and see if you’ve become “That Boss.” You know, the one who nobody wants to work for and who doesn't have a shred of self-awareness. I worked at a large corporation for 5+ years, and it was easy to tell which managers valued employees. It […]

Refrigerant migration is a natural process that occurs during the off-cycle. The refrigerants have an affinity for oil and seek out the lowest-pressure areas, so it only makes sense that some refrigerant would be drawn to the compressor crankcase and may condense there. When the refrigerants condense, they saturate the oil. As a result, refrigerant […]
