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.
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
Man what i would of done to be your apprentice when i first got into the trade, what i got was 1 month of ride along and than thrown into the field totally green, well 15 years later and watching your videos and still learning everyday.
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.
Always enjoy watching you work it’s mind boggling to watch what you run into . I work on freezers and coolers for a school system blows me away at there thought process they have and will sail til it’s three foot thick of ice before they say hey we got a problem
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.
When I go on a call I'll write the date and what the pressure is what the capicater read if I replace anything on the inside of the door just to have a history and like you I run it and make sure nothing else is wrong that sets a true technician apart from a want to be technician thanks for the video and you sir are a top class technician
you did a great job! it's just like everything doing life you fix one thing another thread you find you try to fix it another one falls out. every job is like that. but you always seem to get all the threads back in and get this suit to look like a tuxedo! you are Superman keep up the good work
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
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
warm beer = major panic ensues. very cold beer is a key selling point and keeps customers, warm beer or in warmer cooler that's mixed with other products that would freeze or get ruined is a big no-no. also known as a "beer sauna" (most gas stations/convenience stores)
I carry that little pocket one that I did a review on and I've been carrying the latest version of the PD 35 phoenix. It doesn't have external USB to charge... it's built into the battery and I kind of like that better.
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!
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

Thank you so much Caleb, it's hard to know what I should elaborate on and what to skip. I try to just be me🤜🤛👍👍

Hey Rick i used your code and ordered me a new veto tech LC bag… delivered in 2 days. I love this bag.. thx bro 😎
Awesome! Thank you!

Great job Rick, you handled everything good, no reason for the customer to complain.
Thank you!
Thanks to you for sharing your knowledge !
I see a little bit of hollywood in you,great job thx for sharing.
Thank you, I think 😁👍👍

You're very kind!🙏
Great video with my morning coffee. Ty man for the content 👊
Your welcome. Thanks for checking it out
History on equipment is key
Makes it a lot easier to know where to start 👍👍
That was a great video. You did a lot , i hope they appreciate that.
Neat work Rick
I've cleaned many coils but never so lucky to find a $50 flapper stuck in one🤣
Normally I just see $100's LOL
$50 bill?! Show off…. Lol. Great video. Thanks for sharing
No I was gonna use the$100 but Ted got for that😁
@@HVACRSurvival 😂. I’m just jealous. 2 kids, I haven’t seen a $50 in years…. 😂
Nice work!! Not sure if your $50 bill condenser air flow test is sufficient. Ted Cook uses a $100 bill... LOL.
That's why I used the $50 it works harder than the $100😁😁
I always love it when they wait until the last possible minute before calling. “ let it run, it will get better”🤦🏻
Right! It will work itself out! LOL
Good one Rick 👍
👍💪🇺🇸❄️ Sight glass showing some bubbles could b the refrigerant 422b they r using. It’s a blend n can show bubbles in sight glass sometimes
Very true👍👍
Wow, also with those fan switches on how they're wired, I'm surprised it didn't flood the compressor out. Great video though
Yeah I thought about that too, but hopefully the TXV did its job as best as it could.
Great Video
Master Class
Thank You
Godspeed/Take Care!
Thanks Jeff! Have a good one!
Love it man excellent job bro
Much appreciated! I'm glade you liked it!
Great job.keep those videos coming 👍
I'm trying👍👍
I had technicians selling four and 10 of those motors a day
Awesome job 👍👍👍

Does the clock and thermostat control a LLsolenoid in the unit?
Yes, the clock feeds power to the thermostat and the thermostat powers the solenoid.
Why do you replace motors instead of oiling them
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.
warm beer = major panic ensues. very cold beer is a key selling point and keeps customers, warm beer or in warmer cooler that's mixed with other products that would freeze or get ruined is a big no-no. also known as a "beer sauna" (most gas stations/convenience stores)
Maybe the new owners know if you spend a little money at a time, it want be a lot of all at once GOOD VIDEO BROTHER
They do pretty well at having us do all their stores, they have a lot of convenience stores that they manage.
There is always going to be problems, when there is so many moving parts like what we work on a day to day basis started my week on call be safe
I just finished my on call but these next two months I'm on more often. 🤦🏻
Very nice job Rick 👍
Did you switch flashlights btw ?
I carry that little pocket one that I did a review on and I've been carrying the latest version of the PD 35 phoenix. It doesn't have external USB to charge... it's built into the battery and I kind of like that better.
@@HVACRSurvival Seems very nice , I love the PD36R I think both are pretty similar except for the usb charging port .
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.

Good job ,but I would hate to see the bill on this one
We're cheap per hour.
👍💪💪🇺🇸❄️ Great vid n troubleshooting thanks
🙏👍👍
Doesnt seem smart to only have a fan shutoff in the box.
Should have a full shutoff switch or a manual defrost.
👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Turning nuts loose like that is not good……
Remind me which nuts you're talking about?
@@HVACRSurvival from the fan,doing it with a pair of plyers?? But it gets the job done, nice channel btw
@@paulcoopmans4288 thanks Paul, I was trying to show once they break loose there easy to unscrew
