As our story unfolds, prepare to be amazed as we shift gears to marvel at a "Giant HVAC Chiller System." Explore the colossal machinery that powers large-scale climate control, understanding the awe-inspiring technology behind these impressive chiller systems. Gain insights into the scale, efficiency, and the essential role they play in maintaining comfortable environments for buildings of considerable size.
However, every adventure has its twists, and our tale takes an unexpected turn as we receive word from the building superintendent-"It's Time to Wrap It Up for the Day." Follow along as we navigate the delicate balance between completing tasks efficiently and adhering to the operational needs of the building. Understand the importance of communication and collaboration in the HVAC profession as we respond to the call to conclude our day's work.
Through this narrative, my goal is to provide you with a firsthand glimpse into the multifaceted world of HVAC, showcasing the intricate processes, the marvels of advanced technology, and the real-time decision-making required in the field. Whether you're a seasoned HVAC professional seeking camaraderie or an enthusiast eager to learn, this storytelling promises an insightful and engaging exploration of a day filled with challenges, marvels, and the ever-important coordination with building management. 🌐❄️ #hvac #boiler #apprentice

In almost any industry there is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution.
That's why you cover the duct so not to blow the smoke and odor in the building. Just a tip 😊
Take the supply access panel and cover the supply duct. Run the unit in heat to burn off the heat exchanger. Prevents the customer from complaining, or worse- the fire department showing up.
Ha ha. I thought I was the only one that kept those turbo cap wires.

Not gonna lie at first I was a hater, now that’s all I use lol
That top screw, that’s why you always need a stubby. When there isn’t enough space for a full size a stubby screwdriver will always save the day.

there it always a way to get a rusty bolt of good job on the fix
3 hours on a HX swap isn't bad. I had a swap on a Bryant 90%er today (plugged secondary on a 355CAV) that kicked my ass a little bit. You should grab yourself a little ratchet that takes regular ¼" hex bits. Would make that last inducer screw a breeze. Wiha has a nice one. Comes with a short extension, 10-12 bits, and a nice metal case.

Or a Wera Tool-Check Plus, if that wonder does exist in the US
I tell customers that is a free test for the smoke detectors.
You should probably invest in some lipbalm if you're going to be up there much longer!
0:00 I've just casually walks under a ladder lol
👍🤘🤙
Since the age of 7/8 years old, boiler / server rooms have always been the most interesting rooms for me because of all the electronics and machinery.
When you slip on that ice and walk around with a wet ass all day you will quit fooling around😂

Based on the boiler rooms I work in I’m almost guaranteed to get wet at some point in my day lol, but that’s true. Being wet on a cold cold rooftop is way worse.
That's a baby cllhiller. Should see the size of the ones used for distillation towers at chemical plants.
Aluminum ladder is a bold choice

Working on it! Thank you for the support
9:18 LEAKS!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!!!!
Ladders and rooftop, where's your fall protection gear? Where I am we would be shut down in a flash if an inspector showed up! We had a gas-fired Reznor aerotherm on the roof where I worked. One Monday morning I found panels from the cabinet all over the grounds. It was an old 3 stage unit and the stage 3 pilot failed. You gan guess the rest!
hey bro i have question. i got a job interview tomorrow and was wondering if you have any pointer on how to talk and what is some questions about to be prepared for

Congrats brother! My first piece of advice is going to it with an open mind, it’s gonna be almost impossible to study and prepare for every possible question that they could ask. The best thing you could do is make the greatest first impression you possibly can. Be on time, dress nice, look, the interview were in the eyes and give them a firm handshake. Within the first couple seconds of meeting you, just by the way you present yourself they already know if they wanna hire you or not, if you were in their shoes, would you hire you. They’re probably gonna ask you what type of experience you have, which is just way for them to judge you know where to put you in the beginning so be honest. And at the end they’re definitely going to ask you if you have any questions and the more you ask the more enthusiastic you seem. Ex: “ what does a typical workday look like?” “ if you hired me today, what are some things you’re expecting to see from me within the first weeks, six months and year?” “ What is the best way I can judge my performance?” The last impression is the lasting impression, so end on a high note! Hope it helps brother! Best of luck, go crush it!
Wonders why the roof leaks
Bro you deff smoked up the inside of that buiding, you gotta open the back panel and left it blow out.
Hey that draft inducer motor is not trash per say!!! That is scrap metal!!!! Save it and put it in with your scrap metal!!! CASH IN THE TRASH!!!!
Its only temporary unless it works
You got to spend half the time skating.

A wire nut 2 inches from a crimp connector? Total bush league.
The fact you do HVAC and use dewalt ..means you still need to do more hvac before understanding its a Milwaukee trade

I would rather use American tools than Chinese tools and Milwaukee is a rip off their tools are way too much money and worse quality than dewalt

Sorry bud, Milwaukee doesn't hold a candle to Dewalt. When you get out of HVAC school, you will realize.
