Thank you so much for this video. Service tech apprentice and too scared to ask dumb questions and you just answered most of them

@3:03 "If you don't know... call someone who does" 😂👍

Please do more videos like this. I just retired from fixing computers. Nowadays I want to learn how to fix my own AC and gas furnace. Edit - New subs here.

Very informative and to the point video! I wish i had KZread when i started in the trade, went to school at night worked during the day, no body wanted to explain anything and went as far as saying they weren't there to teach anyone. Thanks for making the videos i know a lot of people will benefit from them and God wii reward you

We did Jonny dirty in this intro

One of you best vids yet. Thanks guys

Trying to become a new technician and do ac maintenance calls. I also am a lead installer. However I’m still learning I got thrown out into the wolves..I enjoyed this video. It made me understand to check continuity and volts from each point to see if there is a dead spot.. please make more for beginners thanks. Helped a lot

Love troubleshooting videos more please

Loved the video man ! I think you did a great job explaining it. Been in this trade for a year and I'd say my weak point is electrical diagnosing but this helped clear some things up for me

Main advice I can give you is to not let the system win. Take every call like a challenge and if you can't figure it out you lost that one. Sometimes calling for help is necessary but before calling do everything you can to avoid calling someone. It will help you on the next call. Thanks for watching:)

dude this video was so awesome and helpful... more of these please! liked and suscribed.

Great content, new subscriber

Like how you went through and explained the way yoy find a short.

@SurfBrosHVAC

Ай бұрын

Future video my friend. Shorts are a whole different thing and in my opinion are must easier to get the hang of than troubleshooting in general. Really not all that hard to figure out. You can call me on the number in our bio if you need help figuring out a short

best advice for new techs is to learn schematics inside and out and the legend!!! so you can identify your loads great video red showing how to hop scotch and identify components then you get bored and move over to low temp lol like i did i do both

Just a tip. The method of hopping around with ur meter is called the "hopscotch method"

Please do a video for mini split systems

I will do some mini split videos but I think I need to be on them when they are broken as they are harder to explain without a broken system

And my instructor said don’t wear shorts

Could you do a video on troubleshooting carrier Mini splits

@SurfBrosHVAC

Ай бұрын

Almost all mini splits are the same to troubleshoot. I do plan on making some videos on how to troubleshoot them.

I’m new to the trade and I have so many questions . But it’s really hard to understand the electrical . Can you simply explain how a hot wire and common wire blow up some of the components?

@@SurfBrosHVAC thank you

Really like the video, but can you do a white board explanation with a few lines just showing what you mean by certain things. Because we couldnt see what you were testing so very difficult to visualize. Example, the relay not allowing power to the transformer, or where did you find the common? To then use the other lead to check for low voltage? What points are you looking to find 24 volts in the low voltage system with one lead on common? Your great, but if you are looking to help make other techs better, some white board breakdowns would help us better understand what you are relaying.

@@SurfBrosHVAC Oh, I get it! But since you have that fancy white board... "story board" you A-B-C-D etc path, what visual tells the story you're narrating? Close shot? Wide shot? POV? It doesn't have to be perfect, it just can't be confusing. It's okay to pre-script the important parts, you're trying to do a lot all at once - working on a system, teaching trouble shooting, and making a video. As you develop a work flow it will get easier but start your shoots with an outline/punch list and a couple paragraphs of specific language to make the video part easier.
