this is the first video i found of you, i like it! I'm currently in hvac school and were learning to put the pieces of the puzzle together for troubleshooting, so it made sense to me as of why they needed a new capacitor! you earned a sub! cant wait to watch and learn more! thanks friend!

LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO USE THE SAME PIPING AND WIRING AS WELL AS THE EVAPORATOR BASE.

It’s a reverse cycle unit so it’s technically both the evaporator and condenser.

Appreciate everything you bring to the table Zach!

I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, you are a true tradesmen and craftsmen a true inspiration thanks for doing what you do 🤓

Zach, I use that e-flex guard as well. Nice to see others are using it to protect and seal. Another product you may want to check out are Flaretite seals from rectorseal for the ductless equipment. Really helps prevent leaks on the connections! Nice work brother

Compressor was definitely running when you took access cover off, probably solely because of the hard start

I watch a older video and you said your based in Tennessee so am I am a local handyman where I am and have a little of hvac training under my belt but am learning more as I go thanks for putting these videos out I always like watching and learning

The leak at this start, always catches me out too. Great video

Great video as always. Love the vlog style videos. Keep ‘em coming!

The Man The Myth The Legend Zach! Great video man🤘👊💪

we always holler out going hot when we flip breakers or anything... good practice for safety and it gives you more excitement.

I installed one myself. That torque tool would of been useful. I did let the AC guy pump it down and he checked my connections. That was 15 years ago. It’s been flawless. A lizard did get in and short a board but it was an easy fix. I sealed that area up so hopefully they can’t get in again.

Good to see you using a torque wrench on the line set

Nice video good to see you sharing your knowledge!

Good job and now i see first time ur helper good to see

Nice job bro. That split changeout looked easy

As always bro, great video!

Does your fieldpiece meter's hold button get bumped on often? I have that one and it drives me crazy and screws with me, to the point i cherish and protect my older style fieldpiece. Lol Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.

Nice job, my only question is why did you have to take the cover off the new unit before placing it back on the wall, I know you have electrical but that can just be slid through the back with cover on, I do this type of work every day 2 just was wondering if there’s a new trick for something

Honestly I can tell you don't volunteer information like I'm universal certified people shake their head at that they'll ask you if you have an EPA card that just means you know the refrigerant laws that's necessarily doesn't mean you're a great technician a lot of people think that automatically makes them a technician I'm not saying you're saying that but the interview process keep your hands in front of you folded in front of you keep your phone off or volume turned down don't look at anything at your phone keep your focus on the interviewer when asked a question just answer it honestly but don't volunteer anything that doesn't need to be said at the interview sometimes interviewers just like to ask the questions and be in charge of the interview that's how it works hope that helps I know that was a year ago but you might have learned something in the whole year

Hey man, starting my own company this summer. I work maintenance Ina government facility and they provided the HVAC training and paid for my 608 Test. I passed and now I'm universal. Bought a ton of field piece stuff, pumps, recov, torches, hoses, and such. Have all the major pieces. I'm starting to do jobs just by word of mouth but I'm having a hard time figuring out what's fair to charge. I don't want to screw over the customer or myself. How do you figure?

It would be interesting to hear, however asking the customer's permission to record makes it sound like it's for a training and plants the thought in the customer's head that the technician is actively going to try and sell them something.

@devinpaddock2569

3 жыл бұрын

If you are pushing to sell I feel you could be doing it wrong, it’s super simple the best way to “sell” is to openly communicate with the homeowner and just inform them of what you found. Give them some options ranging in price and if they ask your opinion be honest. If it’s a 13+ year old system it might be time to change it depending on the condition of everything, if it’s 8 years old you might want to lean more towards repair while it’s under warranty.

Pretty regularly see systems low on refrigerant, we suspect it is low from the original installers lack of adding more refrigerant to account for the length of the line set. If it’s a repeated issue of being low would mean a leak.

You may not want to reuse copper flare for a quality work because the copper has already been compressed in annealed there for limiting its ability to compress and conform the second time. It May seal now they usually leak years later it’s just gambling. Copper was never meant to be compressed more than once.

So it wasn't on camera. But I am sure you checked the condenser coil for being clean. 80% of compressor overload heat issues and failing compacitors are due to dirty condenser coils. The other 20% are due to electrical feed issues of low percentages in summer when in high demand and then the rodent highway of squirrels on lines destroying them.
