Before I had my own business the company I worked for would only allow us to get them running no matter what. Dump thousands of lbs of R22 in systems and never go back and leak check or fix the issue. Now this was on a federal installation. On one of the major stores I had 62 rooftop gas packs and because we were not aloud to do a proper PM we had to replace almost half of them in the first six years. That’s when I went into energy management then opened my own business. I successfully bid and won contracts for over 30 federal institutions throughout the eastern cost. It was a rewarding adventure for me.

Chris - A minor point but the belt is made with Kevlar which is 5x stronger than steel. The belt can eat the pulley, it was the old belts that were much softer. Today belts don't break in, except for shape (going from something like a figure 8 to an oval 0). Once the shape is beat into the belts the belts then break in the pulley, that is if the belts are made with Kevlar. That is why you should never slow a spinning pulley with an unprotected hand, the belt can wear a very sharp edge in the pulley.

At 7:30 or so, we see the typical bad work done by the 80% whose previous job included asking the question, "would you like fries with that?" Bad work by others keeps you and me busy. Also, you mentioned that your area has problems with the electrical grid. This means that when a phase leg becomes de-energized, you can open a breaker when the other two phase currents increase. If a unit is running, a phase loss will open a breaker very predictably. Units where power is a problem will often get an ICM450.

Ball joint separator fork tool. Surprised you don't have a tach for setting pulleys. Good videos!

Busy day, I like working on those problems. It makes the day go by faster.

Using a I call it a pickle fork but it is really a ball joint separator either way it is really hard on the front bearing of the motor especially when the pulley is bad a 3 or 2 jaw puller can save some expense but that is what kept us electric motor techs in business

I am 75, a retired PBX installer, operator, maintainer, and floor sweeper. for a few years I was considered to be the 'facilities manager' even tho I did not know what a condenser was (or even where it was!.) "just give it to the phone guy - he can do it!." I was probably ripped off plenty, but fortunately I was backed up by a multi-billion dollar public utility...

Nice channel, great attitude. I'd like to point out than no expert should try to do anything in this video on his own, especially after turning the power back on, not to mention working with bear hands, without gloves and uninsulated tools. At 24:30 you really see that only a few minutes of cleaning can make wonders... thus the AC will run smoother, your pocket will thank you for that... keep up the good work.

Last year I replaced 33 of those stinkin' Weather makers on one roof. I was glad to see them go, 20yrs old! There were the same 7 or 8 that constantly needed attention or repair in the last year.
