Yeah, they are off to enjoy their weekend, yet you are taking care of something they knew about all week. 😂. I give them a speech to set an alarm for EOD of they day they find out. I understand, we are all busy, and this is a cheat code.

@@HVACRVIDEOS It is also common in the IT world too, getting a bunch of calls around 5pm everyday. Fortunately for us, we can defer to the next day. My other favorite is managers calling in a ticket Friday at 5pm and then leaving for two weeks vacation. Then we can't get a hold of them to figure out what the issue was because they left incomplete information. Then they get snotty with us when they return because we closed their ticket after three attempted contacts. LOL

I used to be a satellite tv installer. Customers always called friday evening, or early saturday morning, my TV is not wroking, fix it ASAP. Also, South Africans have a favorite sport, RUGBY... But what always caught me, a customer calling me on a Saturday afternoon, "My Dish has not been working the whole week, we want to watch the Rugby game @ 3.00pm... Please come and fix it ASAP"! TIME OF CALL USUALLY, 2.50PM!!!

No closing words.

48 years in the trade. Money was good but the hours sucked!

Loving the return to the old intro 😊

Not to shabby of a call for OT. Definitely good thinking on your part for being prepared and having motors and blades on the ready. Came in clutch and made the call easier and helped the customer out. They will gladly pay to have the new parts installed when you have them on hand. They don't tend to fuss about cost or have time to "run the numbers". Another great video Chris

Quite similar . Basic physics .

My RTU's for refrigeration condensers getting lifted up was instructed by Fred Lentz in 1990, founder of Honeywell in Kodiak , Alaska. He abandoned his family in 1968 in Seattle . His brilliance scared me.

I was so fortunate to have been taught by Fred. Never met a refrigeration engineer that approached his knowledge . He instructed me to be aware of Maxwell's demon. Saw it twice in action in my 48 year career .

another job...well done!

We had our freezer in our online pickup and delivery department throw an HA code at temp control and a DLL at condensing unit control. We ended up resetting breaker and it’s working okay now, but still have our technician coming out tomorrow to take a look, plus clean the condenser coils bc I noticed those looked pretty grungy.

Have you ever run into those Keep Rite evaporators? You can not get those blades off, even when they are brand new.

Are you talking about those blades that come to a point? If so yea ran into a few. First time I thought the helper messed up until I went to do the other one.

The fan blade with the set screw that wouldn't tighten. Could abandon the set screw and drill and tap a new hole new set screw. Probably a 1/4 20 tap and a37 drill bit. But you got it thats what counts

9:20 *head snaps up* me? What about me?

Note* Every condenser I installed or replaced was at table top level. Mainly to save my knees and back. Why the hell not? Unless you're a deep masochist ! Metal or regular lumber works.

You do have an impact driver. Is it possible to use some angle attachment like DEWALT DT20500 (DT20501) or old DT71517T? Will it fit in blade's clearance in hub?

Question. I have a Goodman 2.5 Ton, 13.4 SEER2 Self-Contained Packaged Air Conditioner . If i use the ac portion to cool the house ( 1,450 square feet ) and then dont use for a day or two . It snells horrible when i use it again. It smells like rotten fish . Any idea what causes this ?

Next thing I know which motor is the working. The one that has ice on it

Thank GOD I retired before it became electronic. Keep it simple. 1920-30 simple. They were bullet proof.

What kind of hose do you use to de ice those coils , also do you use an adaptar for kitchen sinks ?
