Dang.....that was problem after problem after problem. As always though, you took it in stride, handled each problem and moved on to the next. Thats what a true professional does. You are one of the most systematic troubleshooters on YT and have the knowledge base to back it up. As always Rick....another kick a** video. Always look forward to your videos

I got an interview Wednesday for a company that does strictly commercial kitchen hvacr. I'm excited, the company I work for now is taking on to much residential. We used to be strictly commercial. And it's driving me nuts. I'd rather deal with the on call of kitchen hvacr than crawl around in attics. Your in my opinion the best hvacr youtuber. Simple videos no life stories not trying to teach basic bullshit over and over every video. Keep doing what your doing man.

@@HVACRSurvival your welcome. In my opinion keep it for us fellow techs dude. Don't elaborate on crap like "here's how you check to see if the thermostat is calling" or stuff that we learned 2 weeks in to the job. In my opinion The way your doing your videos are just fine. I love Chris's (hvacr videos) videos, but he's like changed the way he's doing things to trying to teach people how to do this job. just let us fellow techs watch your experiances. That's just my opinion.

Great little problem filled vid ... Handled all their problems and on to the next call ... You da man ... Thx for posting ...

clear "nylon" jacketing over pvc insulation ( THHN/THWN) wire. the nylon is prone to UV light breakdown and moisture ingress. fortunately it's mainly there to protect the pvc insulation for installation/work. it would ideally be covered from UV/sunlight when outdoors( in conduit/flex/whatever), internal equipment wiring tends to escape the easy route of relaxed codes.

Thanks man! I'm learning new stuff even 28 years latter. If you ever feel like you know all there is to know in this field then it's time to change into a different segment of the field like I did. I thought I was good before coming to this company, I found out real quick how little I knew. Also take the time to help a new tech if they want to learn. I got treated like shit in the beginning years, I had 3 good mentors out of several people that I worked with and that's why I do these videos. I love when I hear that I've made it easier for someone. There's no better feeling.

hey brother whay do yoy clean your micron gauge with? i know you said its a spray in the past. i just can't find that video anymore.... i thought it was the video 2 yr ago where you do the full trublu vacuum setup

@HVACRSurvival

Жыл бұрын

They say use rubbing alcohol, I like using pass-load cleaner for air tools, it's convenient and sprays right into the gauge... just be sure you don't hit the sensor with the straw. You can pick it up at Lowe's

if they were going to put "service" toggle switches in the coolers, they should have used the one that requires a "tool" inserted to toggle them. maybe some stupid local building code there requires them? I hate off the wall stupendous local building codes, some are super impractical and end up causing more issues or safety hazards than they fix!

@HVACRSurvival

Yeah those fancy switches would be nice. But anything more than $2 is too much money for some of these people. Heck sometimes you don't even get a switch when you deserve a switch

Why do you replace motors instead of oiling them

@HVACRSurvival

Жыл бұрын

Because the bearings are bad now that they've gone dry of oil. Once a motor stops spinning that bearing has expanded and the metal is damaged.
