I have a friend who needs a new system. She fills it up every year and it freezes every year. The lack of refrigerant isn’t the only issue tho. The condenser is 3 tons, with a 5 ton evap coil. And also no airflow. I did not do a static I just stopped by after work to take a look. The filter was difficult to say the least to get out.
The problem is, very small work area. With the layout of the room the system is in and the way the ductwork is laid out. The only way I can get a furnace and evap coil in there that is short enough to feed the main supply run without cutting into the coil box, is an Aspen coil. I’ve heard multiple people tell me to avoid them at all costs, even the guy at the local supply house I won’t name any businesses here tho. But have also heard a few say, ehh they’re all the same man.
I guess the question is. Should I put the Aspen in and add a danfoss TXV instead of the piston. Or put in a normal Goodman or Bryant system and cut into the coil box.
BTW I’ve been in the files for 4 years now. 1 as an installer, all Lennox, 3 as a residential service tech, same company but not all Lennox. So I have some experience but not a seasoned vet yet.
Thank you
