Thank you very much solo tech. I just got done filming one inside of a building on a service call that’s pretty interesting not too long of a video but pinpoints some stuff. Let me see if I can edit and post Soon, have a good day stay safe.

Thank you very much, sir. I try to treat people’s equipment as if it’s my own. But I’ve been in this field so long I’ve seen their frustration and I try to point out anything I see wrong. Or make suggestions what I would do. Since this video, I have moved to Florida and a lot of my customers were sad to see me leave. Have a great day. Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you sir. I have a lot of people ask me what’s the best type of equipment to purchase but really the bigger question is. What is the application? Is the equipment sized properly? Is the equipment installed properly? Is the equipment started up properly? And is it maintained properly? If you cover those points most of the time you have a good running piece of equipment. Imagine pulling a horse trailer with a Ford focus. Wrong Equipment for the job therefore, it will fail repeatedly. Have a great day. Thank you for the compliment.

Thank you matt. I just got in from working at the one industrial facility. So far it looks like we’re getting some snow tomorrow so we’ll see about Sunday for snowboarding.

Tripod and a microphone. 👍👍👍. Movin on up !!! Lol Works well. I made alterations to another tripod to do some neat shots.

Thank you very much Kenneth. I pretty much do one take on a majority of my videos sometimes I do forget to add some more detail but I try to put in as much as I can. I appreciate it thank you for the compliment glad you enjoyed it have a great day.

Thank you Benny. Always trying to give some decent info and on the job viewing. Hopefully future technicians can benefit from some of these videos. Have a great day.

Thank you very much Jose. Hopefully he clarified a little bit about Equipment. I try to keep it to the point and explain it best as I can without boring people. Have a great day stay safe

Thank you very much Bayou. I try not to go that long with these videos but I try to explain a good bit sometimes there’s way too much to explain in one video it will go over some peoples heads which is totally understandable there’s way too much to know in the HVAC industry. I was just working the past couple days about 2-1/2 hours from my house working 13-1/2 hours last night I could not post a video I possibly will be posting another video today after work. Thank you very much for watching and the compliment have a great day and stay safe.

Thank you very much Miele. I treat everyone’s equipment as if it’s my own. I feel being upfront with the problems and to the point builds trust with a customer. Funny thing about the auto mechanic part. Im installing new drum brakes on my 1999 Ford Ranger tomorrow morning. Lol. Thanks for the complement. Have a great weekend.

Thank you very much I will check out your channel here in a little bit I’m getting ready for bed I gotta get up by 5:30 AM. What I try to explain to new technicians it doesn’t matter if it’s a window A/C unit or 150 ton rooftop unit. The main components are the same just different size and controlled a little bit different. Just like a Geo metro verse a big diesel Dually. They have wheels, brakes, transmission, engine. they get you from point A to point B but they both serve a different purpose for different needs.

Thank you very much Ramon. I tried keeping the video down to a time limit but there is many more things I could explain about this. I like trying to give out some good information to future technicians but not to the point where really bores them. Have a great day thank you for watching.

Hey, how’s it going? Welcome to local 449. Since this video, I have moved to Florida I am with Local 725. I still talk with a few technicians from my old shop and I do miss working with that group. I had a lot of good times and learned a lot over the years. I have quite a few different videos, but I do have one in particular that I need to edit and post when I get around to it. And it’s pretty much going over maintenance. Maintenance is a big part of your equipment running properly to get the full life out of it. Some people ask me what’s the best equipment out there but honestly, that’s a very loaded question. 1. What’s the application 2. Is it sized properly? If the units too large for cooling, you can build mold and not dehumidify properly. If it’s under sized, then it will run/run/run basically take forever to cool off. 3. Is it installed properly? With the proper clearances for adequate airflow not to mention serviceability. 4. Maintained properly. If you cover those things, majority of equipment is relatively the same. How I give out information is how I wish I was taught. The best way to learn, is honestly on the job. There’s many many very helpful technicians out there that will pull you under their wing. Soak up a little bit of knowledge from everybody. Who are you currently with at the moment? Have a great night. Thank you for commenting and contacting me.

@@hvacexplained9341 Im currently at a residential/commercial non-union company doing maintenance in a company van. Im still a senior in high school and the fitters opened a nightschool program for high school seniors. Theres a guy from Fazio, Huckenstein, and Qdot teaching us alongside Mike Cardos and Josh W. My goal is to go and work for Ruthrauff as a production worker once I graduate from this class and then get into the union as soon as I can. I've done a solid amount of residential cooling and heating maintenance alongside a good amount of RTU heating maintenance, the only thing I havent done is an RTU cooling maintenance. I just found your channel today and I'm going to binge through them as I feel I can learn a good amount from you! Thanks for all the knowledge you share!

Thank you very much I do appreciate the compliment. Glad they are helping out some people especially technicians. I have been collecting a lot of footage and I really need to start posting videos again. I was posting a lot of stuff on TikTok under the same screen name and photo icon. I will get back into the swing of things just been extremely busy and a lot of family stuff went on in the past year. Hope your summer went well? And by the way you’ve picked the right trade. There always will be jobs in this field and money to be made. Have a great day

That’s a little bit of a crazy one with a loose connection down in the Ansul system for the exhaust fan but nothing surprises me anymore in this field. Lol. Yes, I figured it was tied into the control / safety system as an interlock. I Wasn’t aware to kill the breaker at this location. I had a Greenheck unit that had no interlock for their system. It just seemed very odd that there was no power whatsoever up at the unit I’ve seen where it just breaks the control circuit only on other units. Things were not all labeled how they should’ve been. But the customer was all happy that I was filling him in on what needs to be performed regularly and showing him start to finish what I have done. Thank you very much for the info, thank you very much for watching I hope you and your family are doing well and getting ready for the holidays?

Thanks Joseph.

Appreciate the thumbs up. Believe it or not I was just working on my dad’s air conditioner that I install five years ago today right after work lol anything mechanical will fail

Thank you very much John I appreciate it. Certain times I do lockout disconnects especially if I am nowhere near the power supply but when I am the only person in that general area I use common sense but yes it is a good practice to definitely lock out tag out at all times. I generally stand to the side when I turn on power supplies and also when Boiler’s light off. I just got done with a service call now I’m on my way to another one on Friday night thank you very much for commenting and subscribing have a great day stay safe

Thank you very much sir. I try to make it somewhat humorous sometimes Korny jokes but I also like to throw in good tech tips and good general knowledge. I try to make it a little bit interesting because the HVAC videos I used to see were useless back in trade school. I like to see what actual installs look like and how to gain access to equipment sometimes is a real pain. But anyways thank you very much have a great day.

I’m 42 and am in my final semester of tech school. I am currently on the HVAC crew with the local school system. I have one year under my belt and honestly have learned more from guys like you than school but at this point I want the diploma. I have advanced so much in one year and am considering shopping myself around. Thanks for the material.

Thank you very much brother. I will be posting more, I’m just getting over Covid and trying to get back into the swing of things. Have a great day thank you for watching.

I wish I would’ve done a video on a small office that was combined in the same building with a restaurant this one was a bit of a messed up situation. I had gone to this office in a small strip mall the car was the office is very cold. “It took literally to Hands to open up the front door.” I was wondering what was causing the negative pressure so I decided to take a walk around and gain access to the roof. I had found the restaurant next-door make up air unit power was locked out gas valve was shut off but they’re exhaust fans are running full blast. To try and compensate for the negative pressure they were opening up the one side exit door but it wasn’t enough it was pulling from everybody else is space. I had to have a word with the landlord who dealt with that restaurant for having a faulty piece of equipment that was causing the whole issue all along. That York unit I had no idea you could run that circuit board via Bluetooth. I did not look into it too far after when I found that bad connection. When Equipment is pretty new I try to look for the most obvious things and that was definitely one of them. Yes correct when the building, space engineers set airflow up they must do a calculation for the exhaust fans and make up air and checked on start up / Balance/ Commission. It’s always nice to have that little odor of the Bar”B”Que outside 😋. Thanks a lot for the info you’re very informative. Thank you for watching and sharing the information.

@@hvacexplained9341 Yea, I've been in the trade a bit. Now the question is, how the hell did the testing and balancing guys manage to set up that restaurant right with the unit not fully sealed on the curb? Sometimes I think those guys are just so used to systems not working right or installed right and they don't even try to make it work. The simple fact of it is, however, the inspectors are not very good at inspecting HVAC systems and have a tendency to tell them fix it in 90 days but your good to go, and never check back to see if it was fixed and then we come along and find those surprises.

@Johnny B.. I thought the same thing a York Board.. Well Johnson Controls. But Tempstar is an ICP product.

@@FlyEaglesFly19111 it looks like a york infinity board exactly. Im pretty sure i seen the little joystick too, but i couldn't zoom in.

@@FlyEaglesFly19111 yea, it's just because johnson controls board.

Thank you very much Jordan I really do Appreciate the compliment. Yes this was the very first time checking out the unit and since this unit is a “direct fire” there is no heat exchanger. It is Raw Flame blowing into the airstream! Typically I do a complete once over on equipment I have never touched before especially before winter to inspect the heat exchanger. Thank you for liking the video let me know if there’s something you would like explained. I may have worked on it and have a video. I’ve been posting a lot of stuff on TikTok lately to see where that goes. Have a great day.

@@hvacexplained9341 thank you!! You I absolutely will! I never worked on one of those units so I didn’t know if it was direct fire. Or maybe you said it and I missed it in the video. I’ll definitely be reaching out if I have any questions! Do you usually just answer questions over here? And I’ll be following your tik tok as well. I’ve been in the trade going into my 4th year and just got into local 33 in WV so I’m excited for that

I typically keep cardboard in my van for when I’m working on ground level sitting or laying down. I do have kneepads in my van as well but yes I should wear them more often. Have a great day.

Thanks Waylon. Hope you day has gone well. 👍
