WEED EATERS AND YOUR HVAC REFRIGERATION LINES



Homeowners don't realize the damage a weed eater can do to their refrigeration lines (copper tubing), refrigeration line insulation, and thermostat wire! If you or your lawn service decide to use a weed eater near and around your outdoor condensing unit, be sure not to get close to the refrigeration lines. The insulation around the refrigeration lines can be damaged by the nylon line of the weed eater. It can also cut the thermostat wire. If you or your lawn service use a blade tip weed eater, that type can put a hole in the copper tubing causing you a rather expensive repair (especially if you have an older R-22 system because of the cost of R-22 refrigerant). It is a much safer method to pull the grass and weeds around your condensing unit or use a small hand-held gardening tool to remove them.

Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).For more information about Indoor Air Quality and other HVAC topics,click here to visit our website

  1. Apparently people are searching for ways to connect Raspberry Pi's to thermostats (or Arduino or any other microcontroller for that matter). So I decided to design a circuit board to fill that space.gas furnace prices
