You're a good man for bothering to shoot video in that weather

I was an electrician for 35 years Chris. I used to have to work in that weather a lot!! My tools would get rusted and I'd always keep a can of WD-40 with me to help clean my tools. It really sucked working in that kind of weather. I feel for you man. I really do. Keep up the vids when you can. I love watching them!

@@bentlikeitsmaker - chrome or nickel plate if possible, but a lot of the things like pliers and cutters just can't seem to be made that way, even with the cutting edges exposed. I have some really aggressive metal polish that I found works beautifully on rust, and helps protect from future rusting.

I remember once when the bossman didn't want to call in for a disconnect/reconnect and had us change out a service hot and the master electrician of 35 years an old timer was splicing the hot legs from the mast back in it was raining and he said he was starting to feel a tingle from being grounded out while he was reconnecting the service drop. Those days are done now with the smart meters. Once you pull one, it has a button on the back that releases and it has enough charge in a huge capacitor inside it will radio tamper mode back to power company. Once time I pulled a smart meter to replace a service and about the time we were going to finish, a power company service truck pulled up and busted us.

Wait until it rains to report the thrashed exhaust fan.

Got to love the service calls in the rain!

I learn so much from this channel that I subscribed from the first video I watched. I was in the trades for a few years before being laid off and moved on to worse things. I wish I would have stuck it out but that's the hand you play and you don't always win. I get comfort over learning something I wanted to do as an apprentice electrician. I was told to broaden my horizon with my skills because one day I might be plunging out an old ladies toilet to installing video surveillance equipment and computer network cable install.

I heard a grinding sound somewhere. One or more of those fans has a bad bearing (maybe).

Love you videos and keep up the good work

Just got my notification turned on. Didn't know it was off this whole time. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Good job Chris.

I watch your videos and awesomely very well explanatory and the video and sound. You are the master I’am the student may God bless you and your family amen

Chris! I’ve been subscribed for a long while now. The reason I don’t turn on notifications is because when I used too I’d get spammed. However I do get notified of your videos and I’ve been recommending your channel to a few people I believe would enjoy your content. Just trying to show support man! Keep up the great content!

Man man I had to change out one that was single phased by the fuses in the rain and boy I tell you it was not FUN!! Great job!

What I learned from this video: invest in good rain gear. 👍🏾

I don't have notifications on for any channels just go onto my subscriptions page thing and put the videos I want to watch onto my watch later list mand watch them all slowly

Awesome work!! Keep up the quality videos!!

That's so corny, but you made me smile.

i personally dont turn on notifications but i do subscribe. but i have a host of reasons for that . mainly due to me pulling up my subscribe feed every night and listening to everything from the past 24 hours that im subscribed to. Many people forget that there is actually a recommended feed and a subscribed feed.

Wow, I didn't know it rains in southern CA! 💦🤠

I always get your notifications and I also love that the work you do is what I do and I do so because of your videos like every time I work on an exhaust fan I think about how cool it is to work on the fans and fix them up it’s crazy I just can’t wait to find a company that works like you do or own my own someday who knows well I do know I will someday just gotta keep taking notes working hard and I’ll get there but always love your videos they are really what keeps me going and grinding everyday to become legendary like you

Good job Chris. You should get a pair of 1000 volt gloves. You can use them to protect yourself until you can verify power is off. Especially in those conditions.

@@SovereignTroll I'm going to give you a grade school experiment. Go get a cheap Vicks steam humidifier and get a gallon of distilled water. Put the distilled water in the Vicks humidifier and see what happens. I'll tell you, absolutely nothing will happen. It uses electrolysis to create steam. Even the directions will say you may have to add salt. Just think, you can still learn.

Do you have lockout/tag out placards to make sure no one starts turning on breakers?

Video is great. Happy to(And have for few years now) subscribe. Always(nearly) watch to the end. Will never turn on notification as all it does is spam everything. Videos will be watched when I have time, could be an hour, could be a few days. Getting notification just makes me annoyed. 'Look! Here is a video you can't watch for hours/days'. I don't want to know there is new videos until I click on the 'Subscriptions' tab.

gotta love that brinker chilis 💩....those are the exhaust hoods at every location...one of our chilis locations had every exhaust fan replaced with new ones cuz the landlord was blaming them for water leaks in the building even tho it was never proven to be caused by chilis.

Nothing like a good service call in the rain, I know them all too well here in oregon

The junction box that was there could have been better installed. The box used the bottom and the top openings for the plastic conduit, that didn't work well, the stress caused the conduit to eventually break. A better approach is to use a junction box with two holes on the bottom (even if you turn the box on its side), HomeDepot has several outdoor boxes that will work, 2-gang are much better, and PVC is better - double box, gasket and cover are about $11 retail. In a situation like this, Never run the **looped** flexible conduit vertically or out the side, run it out the bottom in a gentle loop up to the fan - the wires and conduit will last much longer.

"That looks... not good." understatement of the year.

i dont have the bell check but i see all you vids in my subscriptions , i only watch the ones i like , i dont watch the lives . i like the fix it vids , sorry not sorry . have a great day !

Guess what, you are showing up in my feed again and I don't have any notifications on. Notifications alerts come up on my phone and they drive me nuts. It's obviously some sort of algorithmics.

What size brazing tips do you like? I have a 1 and a 2, the 1 because the supply house didn't have a 0. We do 7/8 and larger size copper so I would like a rosebud, but am unsure of what size I need.

Hope they paid you Chris! You risked your life out there. 😮

Gotta fix it when you gotta fix it..

Thank you again

What is an average time to wash the condenser coils on those Lennox units in the background? I just cleaned 3 of them (very dirty and greasy) and it took me a lot longer than the office budgeted for. I didn’t look up the tonnage, but mine has 4 condenser fans.

KZread also will turn off your notifications some times so you have to check to see what they are set to at the moment.

Whats the price run on those exhaust fans, I do a burger place that is just destroyed and Id like to maybe see if theyd be interested in a new one because its in about the same condition. I am new to sales, love it, just a lot to learn :) thanks for your videos, you are flawless man. Wish I could find someone detailed like you to work along with. Much love and respect.

Depends on the size, but on average about $750-1500.

I think part of the issue with, especially recently, poor view count might be because it's what I call Apple Season. Or trech release season in general. So the algo is going to recommend iPhone, iPad, iMac, Macbook content to everyone, and not HVACR content. I have subscribe set, and it looks like my notifications are set to "Personal". I see all your videos in my feed, although not always at the front page. And if I can't watch one right away I'll throw it onto Watch Later lest KZread do that thing where it disappears forever the next time I refresh. Thanks for another great upload.

I'm starting to see new kitchens installing sofisticated touch screen exhaust fan controls with VFD fans and built in energy saving goals. Temperature Sensors in the ducts that adjust the motor speeds. The cooks hate this stuff and it inevitably ends up bypassed and running at full speed because it just doesn't work and is too expensive to spend hours talking to tech support when you have a smokey kitchen full of angry staff ready to walk off the job. You always talk about the "big picture" sometimes I think all these high tech high efficiency schemes don't take the big picture into account when they are designed and engineered. I always look at our scrap bin at the shop and notice it's comprised of high tech high efficiency appliances that are average about 8-10 years old and 30+ year old equipment that really lasted a lifetime but never much in between. Not to mention the old equipment was largely comprised of highly recyclable steel and the new stuff is a cocktail of plastic, foam and other things I'm sure just end up in landfills.

@HVACR VIDEOS were these the types of exhaust fans i mentioned in you stream?

Refuse to work on anything like that in the rain flat out, not safe.

Lack of preventative maintenance, or grease cleaners being too rough? Or is this the acidic food restaurant, so accelerated damage?

Its not that your videos don't show up in my feed, they show up in the subscription feed only. I've watched the backlog of content so you don't show up in the main feed of youtube anymore.

I have notifications enabled and get notified of all your videos but other people I follow like @CuriousMarc are not always getting notified. Almost looks like if your viewers skip the adverts it can effect the "promotion"
