At 10 minutes 30 seconds or so, that's the main reason I ask new/green installers/service to always check for power no matter what someone says or does. Be safe out there guys and gals.

Looks great! Sometimes I watch your videos and almost feel like I'm watching a video of myself. We use a lot of the same tools and methods. I did see a few pointers I'd like to give you. First of all, be careful about wrapping thermostat wire around the motor leads. When the blower is running you can induce magnetism into the wire that creates a voltage backfeed that can damage thermostat, electronics, and even bite you when you mess with the thermostat. I do however typically wrap the ground wire around the first section (before tying into the housing, sometimes I move the location too) where the reversing leads are to keep the wires together as the exit the motor. Second, you don't have to hammer the hub to get the blower wheel to free where it jammed on the housing with the new motor. Simply twist the shaft with your wrench and push thr wheel back and it will break the bind; no mashed fingers or hub dings. Pointing the shaft up when twisting works but the wheel might drop too fast. If you push the wheel back prior to fully tightening the 3 motor mounts that works too, but I usually do the first method. Third, all universal standard PSC blower and condenser motors come from the factory wired for CCWLE. Majority of factory motors turn that way so 2/3 of the time you never have to touch them. More condenser motors need reversing than blower for sure, at least what I've run into.

Federal pacific been out lawed for a while. Lots of the time don't trip when need to . Have changed a lot of them out . Good luck. Have a great day.

Yea I haven't seen a federal box in about 20 years

wow!...kool >>>>>>>>>>>>>"have i disconnected something" .. you knew right away >>>WELL DONE!!

Excellent video. I love the long videos. Very very clean work. Love the ending because it touches home. I have a son with severe autism myself. When I start my company in a few weeks I am going to work out of a truck also. Keep the videos coming🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

The outside panel was a mess and u are right about it needing help. Looked like a nice job. I started in a pickup with a topper, then a van and now in a utility box. I like the box but the van was nice for keeping things out of the weather. The trucks are great for the 4x4 for not getting stuck in mud and snow. Just some thoughts. Good video

Excellent replacement Curt and explaining components and how they work for the young'ens ... Thx ...

I can't believe how many residential package units you have down there. You must have some deep crawl spaces. Our crawls around here are on average of 3 block high. Central Indiana might have 1 in 1,000 homes with a package. Once again, hood video.

Some of those crawl spaces are horribly tight. Ductwork on the ground

Good job Curtis.

Cool music for a cool video!!!!

Maybe a little explanation teaching what you doing on the wire will be extra nice

Big arc flash in the load center @39:20 when you had it open reseting the breaker. Stab-lok breakers really are dangerous. Mostly just a on-off switch with no overcurrent protection. Have them in my house AND also aluminum wiring. The double whammy.😭

Hey man congrats on 10,000 Subs! You're killing it out here!👍 Great vid by the way, i always enjoy replacing package unit blowers when its nice outside. I find it very relaxing.

Great 👍🏻 job keep them coming

Excellent video I have the same system and looking to change my blower its not pushing mush air any more!

That looked good when you were done, great video!

I really wished they made a universal cap for that exhaust, I seen allot of jobs you have been on and all I see is water pouring in and the heat exchanger rusted out....

The bottom of that flue is open, and then the internal flue slopes downward. I believe the water comes from cold air blowing over tubes that are ambient temp. It causes water to condense inside the tubes. It would be really hard for rain water to get in.

It's planned obsolescence for the manufacturers, designed to rust out quick and you have to buy another. I know this HX looked stainless but the bulkhead and other plates are still standard steel. If they put the cooling coil after the HX it would not have near the condensation rusting it out.

Would you ever be willing to make a video where you show what tools you use in your vet pro pack?

Good job, don't you hate when someone is in the unit after you ? Probably trying to get a lower bid.

Do you have a close up on the wiring? It is dark in the video. I am replacing one now. Original motor had four wires coming from blower. Replacement has six.

So strange seeing breaker panels outdoors!

Pesky neighborhood hoodlums running around turning on and off peeps breakers.

Great job!

Was the high limit tripping with the blower not running ?

Question? What is your preferred tool to take some of these safeties out that the stubby Klein 4 n 1 is to big to back screws outalso just doesn't fit in space.

Do you give an option to clean the blower wheel?

👍

Are you supposed to get 204 at L1 and L2 to ground? Cuz im getting 120

Nice work! Thanks again for the videos. 🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🎳⛳ Stay safe. Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!

Awesome vid! I appreciate the long and "ugly" of it. I have this exact unit and im having ac issues currently. What was that you had to connect at the end before you checked for rotation?

What makes air exit a condenser fan motor grille horizontally instead of more vertically?

Only way I found good to work out of pickup is with utility bed 1 reason climbing in and out. service truck open door there it is but most drank alot fuel

I had to break out the torch on one not to long ago.

Old Federal Pacific stab lock breakers.

Can you tell me where you order the motor from?

Hi sir how are u.sir the tool u used to remove the blower sharft can u mention me the name of the tool.thk u.

@Peter Mondonca, it's a wheel/blower puller. There are several different brands. Check on Amazon or Google blower wheel pullers. I have 3 different types and it all depends on if you're pulling with the hub type as Curtis was using in the video. They are super easy to use and of course, follow what Curtis recommended, careful not score the hub set bolt threads. Good luck!

What camera u use boss

Hi very low apm blower motor what means? Thk

I think I'm good until the wiring.

Can i get it in amozon

Oh what a horrible job & nice whip

Federal Pacific… “let’s burn down your house” breaker panel

What is the name of the test leads you have for your fieldpiece. Those are really nice.
