I used to service a mall that had rubber tension roof with small ass gangways to walk on. Kicker is, since it was rubber, mall wouldn't let u carry your tools across it, not even in ur pockets. Everything had to helicopter craned to you. Don't matter if u was just changing a capacitor. Heli crane had to come in lol. Shit was nuts.

Great video. Honestly though, I would not have replaced the contactor unless there were signs of wear like arcing or heat damage. From the video, it looked like those contacts were as good as new with no other signs of wear or damage. Changing a perfectly good part like that is just a waste of materials, time, and the customers money.
@IQDave 5 ай бұрын
One thing to remember is for large commercial units, downtime is way more costly than installing a contactor. I’m not a fan of the shotgun method usually (replacing all suspect parts), but can see why he did it in this case. He brought the parts up and not much cost to replace while he was there. It wasn’t HVAC, but in my field engineer days, often travel time (high cost) was a huge influence on whether or not to replace available parts.

I always change the fan blade with the motor. There's a reason that motor seized up and a lot of the time it's from an off balanced blade. Plus sometimes those blades don't want to come off and you end up bending them while using a puller

I always show up to a condenser fan motor change with a new blade. If the old blade is in good shape I will save it for emergency repairs. I just see so many blades on older units unwilling to come off the shaft OR have micro cracks in them. I've also seen a handful of blades that cracked and went straight into the condenser. I will admit in your case that blade does look to be in descent shape. I have also made the mistake of putting my puller on the blade hub and accidentally hitting the set screw holes. At that point, it's game over and time for a new blade. Had to learn all these things via experience.

When a hp occur and you need a motor, should cover the hole of the fan shrout with cardboard or something to prevent other hp trip and getting cooling. Didnt talk about that drip plug that can be usefull to know when you change a condenser fan motor. They have to be on top and not at the bottom.
