Chasing a refrigerant leak… but the system told us the real problem 👀

3 flashes on the board = sensor failure. Not a leak.

That’s a big difference—because now we’re not talking about replacing a coil, just swapping out a faulty sensor. Way smaller fix.

Still sucks it failed this early, but that’s exactly why warranties matter.

Moral of the story: read the codes before you start tearing things apart. 👇

Most techs skip this… and it shows.

Variable speed systems won’t always run at full capacity—so if you’re not using frequency lock during startup, you’re basically guessing your readings.

Tonight it’s 83° and the system wants to run low… but how do you check pressures, amps, and performance like that? You don’t.

You’ve gotta force it to 100%. That’s called doing it right.

Real question is—how many installs never get properly commissioned? 👀👇

Something’s not adding up here… 👀❄️

Suction line goes one way…
Liquid line goes another…
And the thermostat wire? Running with it too.

I’ve never seen a lineset split like this before. Normally, these run together for a reason — insulation, efficiency, and proper system performance.

When you see copper lines routed separately like this, it usually means one thing:
👉 Something was changed, patched, or rerouted along the way.

Now the question is… why? 🤔

Love it when homeowners happily pay you for the repair and send you home with cookies they’ve made.

Growing up in the Midwest, this was very the norm. Brings back memories.
