yo not to throw shade but your head is really round like egg round
You thur shade but my man had shade too....lmao
eggs aren't round
@@cliveramsbotty6077 right cause fish eggs, and many other eggs, are not perfect little round balls...they are flat like the earth
@STONEDay correct
justsoawesome 04 Egg round 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥴 what kind of egg? Lol
You know that it's going to be a fun service call when the customer tells you "The A/C unit sounds like a goddamn earthquake." Noise calls are wonderful
When you’re wrong always let people know twice. Double the humble pie.
So that wasn't just me? Thought I was having some kind of acid flashback. And that really freaked me out because I've never done drugs. Or did I and I just don't remember because of the drugs. Now I'm really freaked out.
You made me think about my very first TXV replacement job early in my career - A co-worker (Tom) condemned it based on low suction pressure (clue), and I got sent out to do the job. After finishing the work, I still see low suction pressure. Didn't take long to discover the clogged return grille in the store...
That boys and girls, is how I learned not to trust other people's work, and to check all return grilles. That's also how Tom earned a kick in the ass the next morning. Those were good times.
Why not clean it?
@@Stuart68505 That's kind of the point/lesson learned. A quick cleaning of the grille and I was good to go, but had the original tech noticed it before condemning the TXV or if I had done my own diagnosis before swapping the part, and we could have saved ourselves a whole day's worth of work.
I like the way you admit to your past mistakes so that others can learn from them. I'm a great believer that someone who doesn't make any mistakes doesn't learn.
Dude I’m obsessed with your vids.. EVERY NEW TECH SHOULD BINGE THESE VIDEOS, PERIOD.
Thanks bud
I’ve been watching these since I first got into HVAC almost a year ago. Very helpful, informative and educational. And sometimes funny. 🤣
I am not even a tech. But it is very interesting
Clicked on one hvac video , now my feed is all about HVAC.. RUclips really is something
Starting HVAC school at the end of this month, your videos are more then just some guy rambling, more like a guy that is a good teacher and leader! You go above and beyond in my eyes buddy keep up the good work.
Thanks so much bud!! I will be going live on RUclips this LaborDay evening 9/7/20 @ 5:PM (pacific) to discuss my most recent uploads and answer questions from email’s , the RUclips chat and the live chat. Come on over and check it out ruclips.net/video/vLwC4yR3ppc/видео.html
That blower looks like those videos where people take an old washing machine connect the motor direct upto 240v then throw a brick in it. Add some Harlem shake music for good measure.
lmao i remember those videos
good old photonicinduction
But we don't do two-hundred-forty vowts on this channel, do we, boy and girls? Let's crank it royt up.
I ain't avin it! Where's my ammah!
@@SproutyPottedPlant 208 volts three phase? 110 volts single phase? Nah i like stick it on the variac till it pops volts!
So I am an IT professional by trade now and have been for ~6 years and love what I do, it's been my dream job since I was like 8, I've had absolutely no experience really with repair of anything HVAC/Refrigeration related however I find these videos incredibly satisfying to watch. I have however been an appliance repair tech in the past, Commercial Toasters, Microwaves, Televisions/displays, Projectors, Washers/Dryers/Dishwashers.
TLDR; Keep putting out the awesome content, I have a real appreciation for people who are passionate about what they do & enjoy what they do, may not always enjoy the situations they're put in but you're a hell of a tech and you do a fantastic job of explaining everything.
Good catch on that key with the blower motor. It’s so easy to forget that when you move stuff that you need to start all over checking everything.
It's best to use actual earplugs or earmuffs instead of headphones since they're built and certified to keep your ears safe. I've always liked the little disposable expanding earplugs since they don't make my ears sweaty and they don't hurt the insides of my ears. Anything is better than nothing, though.
Both plugs and muffs should be used especially for angle grinder cuts on stuff that resonates like sheet metal... When I saw the author suggesting to use earbuds (the ones used to listen to music) I couldn't believe it!
That's the ultimate price of not doing maintenance (including regular cleaning): you pay for a complete rebuild. Possibly suffer a breakdown before that. Solid logic quoting the rebuild right away! 👍🏻
PS PPE ftw, no one should have tinnitus because of work. Have both tinnitus and hearing loss because young and stupid. 🤬
Preventive maintenance is key, much cheaper than a rebuild!
Young & stupid definitely did some of the damage, but tinnitus runs in my family even among those folks who never did much other than office work.
This your older smarter self talking to from the future, always keep -33db earplugs & use them often in addition to the muffs.
I figure every hour with the plugs in equals a couple more months of better hearing in your retirement years.
I have tinnitus because of watching the original lineup of The Who live. Absolutely worth it.
20 years working around aircraft. I always had ear plugs with me while working. Kept the container on my badge.
Good video ! Like # 426. For the New techs out there - Regarding the Vibration. When they vibrate violently the wheels have most likely Lost a Weight & Cleaning Will NOT SOLVE the vibration issue. U will probably make it worse. Cleaning is Risky because if u Loose a Weight You are screwed. Best to Replace as Chris did here. Also Allways have on Truck stock extra key stock & An assortment of Allen set screws. You can buy Raw Key way material where you buy Your Bearings. King Bearing is a Good place to buy that stuff. Pillow block bearings , Regular Bearings & shafts. Good vid.
You do get that a keyway is the slot that a key fits into?
@@335alien335 Yea man ! Been doing this 40 years ! Just a typo. Lmao. 😂🤣😂🤣
Please spend some money on properly rated hearing protection to go with that angle grinder. Audio playing ear buds can cut the noise down a good deal, but they don't always fit perfectly or block all the frequencies well enough. It's also a small price to pay to avoid a very legitimate OSHA compliant of not having necessary PPE for employees.
I'm an installation tech for resident and roof top units watching and listen to you ramble I learn more and help me to be more attentive thanks for your time
Chris: NOOO!! YOU CAN’T JUST NOT DO PM PROPERLY!!!
Customer: haha blower fan go squeak squeak boom
lol
lol
lol
lol
"I don't know what could be wrong, I just had a maintenance 4 years ago" lol
Every time I watch a video I wish you had been the one who taught me everything I needed to know about HVACR. Very impressed with how thorough and educated you are, good up the good work and videos 👍🏻
You are a real repairman and a real human being. You even tell the things you hvae previously done wrong and that is a fine personality. I think not many repairers are able to tell anyone that they have previously done something wrong.
Was just watching some of your older videos and just got notified of this new one. Love watching your videos!
The video's are fantastic. I see something different every video and i still have no idea how anything works :) But its fun watching you fix stuff! And its crazy how much you know about all these HVAC systems. I looked into it and it must take years or decades to get to the point where you know most of it!
when you do those locking collars, your supposed to whack them on an angle in the direction of rotation with a flat tip screw driver in the hole that has no set screw in it. To loosen it, you whack it in the opposite direction after you release the set screw.
Turning vein cleanliness was an education within it's self, as well as, cleaning grills while down was an often over looked procedure which won't be since I watch this video. As usual I was glued the entire time. Thank you.
One thing I've learned from these videos is when Bruce Willis climbed out of that HVAC duct he should have been filthy head to toe.
"Yippie Ki Yo I need a shower!"
I think Nakotomi plaza was brand new, otherwise, yes, especially if it was return duct.
@
19:45 “ super satisfied with the vibration”😏😂😂
Thanks to all the HVACR people who keep us in comfort.
I've recently taken on a bunch of these "blower assemblies". These videos are a great help thanks man.
Great video with lots of good instruction for newbies, even the part about "every tool has a hammer end"! lol
Another great teaching video. Thanks for all you do for us.
I love your rambling, I learn a lot when you do that !!
We like to see your videos because we are hvac techs ourself and like seeing it. At least that's why I watch
Thanks bud!!
Woooow man. That was a lot of work and well done. Thank you very much for this video. Full of tips and notes for you to keep in mind in case one of those jobs comes in.
I’m not an HVAC engineer, I work in frigging marketing but I can’t stop watching these videos
Thanks bud
That was really good advice about torquing down / scoring the key with the set screw. Sometimes the key doesn't always sit perfectly straight in the groove. This ensures it does.
Anyways, like I was saying, you can use anything as a hammer. Channel locks, couplings, conduit, back side of a drill, screwdriver handle, boots, any and all wrenches, an apprentice...
I’m fresh out of Hvac school and Mann I’ve learned soo much just watch your videos. Contemplating why I even got a two year degree in HVAC. Love the vids my guy keep em coming
When I ws a kid, I remember a neighbor having a Lau window fan, but I haven't seen that brand name in nearly sixty years. It's nice to know they're still in business, and still manufacturing fans in the USA!
Very interesting, here in South Africa the cleanup and repair would've been cheaper than the replacement. Great video! Really enjoying your stuff. It's fun to see how HVAC techs do their jobs in different countries.
I suspect that would be the case a few dozen miles to the South of this site, once you cross the border into Mexico... labor rates are vastly different.
He never said it was cheaper. It’s about value. Problem with your mindset is they pay you to do nothing. If they really want to save money they would clean it themselves. Imagine paying someone to do a timing belt in a car and not the water pump?? Which locks up shreds the new belt and bricks the car anyway.
This is why regular cleaning and preventative maintenance is so important.
Yes! The typical eccentric locking collars. You’re a great guy!
i really applaud your skill and work practices.
Another job well done. Your helping alot of techs exposing them to things they may not see working residental. And may have an inerest in commercial
Great info Chris never knew that the suction power at the blower would be a restriction. Great work as always stay cool in this crazy Inland Empire heat.
If possible I would use a good penetrating oil and a brass drift and hammer to remove the shaft otherwise I would prefer a hand held bandsaw to a grinder because of the noise and Sparks flying back at you! You did a great job there is no easy way to do this kind of work! Thanks for another awesome video!
Love these videos, got so excited when I got the notif
Love your videos, really informative
Listening to you ramble sure beats watching the crap on TV 🍻
Great vid. All the best from Liverpool UK
People usually have to remind me to take earplugs out. I just like the peace and quiet. The foam plugs are just like turning the volume down on the background noise for me. I feel like I can focus on my work better.
I agree, even noises that are nowhere near damaging to my ears I will wear earplugs just for the peace and quiet.
Working in Las Vegas, Dirt is our worst enemy. I focus on cleaning everything I can because it's amazing how dirt affects our equipment.. messes up balance and ruins our heat transfer..
Dude amazing work, loved your video!
I will be going live on RUclips this LaborDay evening 9/7/20 @ 5:PM (pacific) to discuss my most recent uploads and answer questions from email’s , the RUclips chat and the live chat. Come on over and check it out ruclips.net/video/vLwC4yR3ppc/видео.html
Always another great videos.
Been watching your video's for a while from the UK :-) I work in IT but find them very interesting and informative. Cheers!
Thanks so much bud!!
about the locking collar, I never knew that!! Thanks Chris!
For cutting those shafts without a dead wheel you can try a cordless m12 bandsaw. It will be much quieter.
i mean, its still better to wear hearing protection either way because you dont want to get hearing loss
@@awesomestuff9715 The bandsaw isn't really loud enough to need hearing protection, about the same as a cordless impact or maybe quieter. Cutting certain materials in a confined space might be louder. The main danger with the bandsaw is possibly getting it stuck and breaking a wrist. Audio feedback can help to avoid that, and roof is usually safer in general without earmuffs but I suppose it depends on the particular saw and person and situation
Or a recip saw with a good metal blade, cuts through it like butter with minimal noise.
Came home from church and seen you uploaded! Its going to be a good day!
Man you always kill it good shit
You left two cuts about the locking nut m8 8:48

Déjà vu
@@Andrew_Sparrow The Matrix is glitching.
He just wants everyone to know that he made a mistake and is fixing it now.
@@ZNotFound Then had to fix it again, cause he did the same thing immediately again. :P
These fasteners are SAE, so there is no M8. What "cuts" are you talking about?
That blower sounds like a Diesel engine lol 🤣
Yah but only a Cat not a 2 stroke Detroit.
Every tool has a hammer end. .....epic!! And true!!!
Good video! Knowledge is Power... My last new office I worked in had some hidden filters that weren't changed in the 6 years I worked in that building. At some point someone queried the supply & the filters were found - paper, crumbling to touch! The office prior to that was the Centerpoint building in Sydney, Australia. After 30 years of operation & probably poor maintenance, we had to get the duct work cleaned, as dust was sputtering out onto staff... That same building had two small water cooler towers on the roof - to service the Computer Server room. One day, someone on our floor came to my area incapable of speaking what they'd just seen; one of the stacks from a tower - the guy wires holding the stack in place snapped, with the fibreglass stack falling down in between the our building & the next one. A few yards in the other direction & the stack would have fallen onto the street below. Sydney is similar to New York, so it wouldn't have been a good outcome...
Great video and now I know how change those double wheel blower motors. By the way I just spend about $2300 worth of tools and used your code Bigpicture. Thanks for the discount
Thanks so much for the support bud
Awesome video
Hey. My awesome H.V.A.C.R t-shirt just arrived, thank you bro
Thanks for the support!!
Great job and video
13:10 that is brilliant, thank you!
That unit is just beat up as all get go and it goes to show why you should always do maintenance. Keep up the hard work and thanks for the content stay safe and take care
Yeah, I replaced a cap on my Father in laws Central AC and brought it back to life gaining a Central AC Hero status, and I replaced the evap fan motor in my grandmothers Central AC gaining quite a few raised eyebrows, These things always seem to happen when its above 98F and it will be weeks before a tech can address (I did convince my grandmother to have a tech do preventive maint on an annual basis, and not by me either) I had to go back and- check the amperage since I only learned how to do that recently, thanks to your videos..... I'm not a tech, I'm a Jack of All Trades, Wyle E. Coyote 'super genius, I don't have an industrial sized puller and I'm not certified but I never release refridgerants into the atmosphere. (I'd love to get one of those refridgerant remover systems. So Central Air is only a Jack-of-All for me but I absolutely really enjoy watching these videos, they are magnetically interesting, don't ask me why. I learn tons of stuff everytime that I'll never put to any use unless its some end of Earth emergency or cross-training-info-seep into some other profession that I ave absolutely no business sticking my nose into (NOT, I'm a throwback from the 50s, a baby boomer who thinks America has lost all shame with the throw away culture thing.....). Really, I'm 56 and never had any sort of disaster in my Jack of All trades and watching these videos only helps me be safer, since I'll never stop doing things that I'm not qualified to do (I do know when to call for real help though. I'm not too stuborn or proud and I've saved enough $$ doing it myself at times that I can afford to call a pro in when its over my head.... Yeah, your HVAC videos absolutely rock!
I was pleased to see you using anti-seize. IDK if you use it all the time, but you almost never mention it. I put that sh*t on EVERYTHING. The next guy will thank you.
OMG look at that belt
Reminds me of the time they told me to go up on the roof where I work and look at one of the exhaust fans. Because it sounded like an earthquake. I opened it up and the pulley (shaft and all) is just bouncing around like crazy. I go downstairs, the first thing they ask me is, 'Is the belt loose? Does it need to be changed?' (note: I don't work on these)
"??? I don't know, it's shaking."
"well, you can't just leave it off, turn it back on.' 'I left it off because the whole fan is bouncing around.' 'Turn it on.'
And for the rest of the day the customers got treated to a neverending earthquake...And they acted like I did something wrong.
I have friends that refuse to do preventative maintenance on their homes, vehicles and shop tools, I can’t stand it.
I often point out what could be replaced to prevent a failure, but just get told I’m *following the instruction manuals too closely*.
Yes, some manufacturers abuse the system by getting you to change fluids , expendables and other parts far more often than necessary, but many don’t , they do it to keep you , your tool , and others safe.
Thank goodness for Pullers ! 🤗🤗🤗
I've done two blower assemblies for Carrier 48TF series the 15 and 30 ton units. It's the biggest pain in the ass. You have to lift the whole assembly out of the top of the RTU and then you can take it apart. It's nearly impossible to do without having to sit inside of the RTU and lean against the evap just to screw everything back in. The reason we had to make the replacement is because those locking collar pillow block bearings failed. One RTU had both blower wheels explode and throw all of the blades ontop of the heat exchanger.
Tinnitus(ringing in ears) is no joke. great video
HVAC engineer here, i tend to show radiused elbows rather than mitered ductwork with turning vanes because they are cheaper. i only used miters if there is a space constraint that will not allow radiused elbows. this makes me really nervous about using mitered in a kitchen setting, but it's pretty rare that I design a kitchen without plenty of space above the drop ceiling.
thanks for the video educational as always. 11:35 everything is a hammer
Take care of yourself man. You look tired. It is been a long summer. Thank you for taking the time to do this very entertaining and educational videos. I am buying some tools using your promo code from True Tech tools.
Thanks so much if you know ahead of time let me know and I can generate affiliate links that can help me too, I will discuss this on my Livestream this Labor Day evening 9/7/20 @ 5:PM (pacific) on RUclips come check it out and no worries if you cant make it live as it will post as a normal video afterwards. ruclips.net/video/vLwC4yR3ppc/видео.html
I've found using a saw zaw with demo metal blades work very well on those shafts.
cosmoline works really good for shaft protection against rust, theres no grease in it so nothing gets stuck to it and wipes off with a rag and some cleaner
Yes but every tech should have a can of anti-cease in there tool bag and it probably works nearly as well.
I'm sure someone already pointed it out, you added the clip about the locking collar twice. Otherwise, great video Chris.
I got to admit on the bearing as i thought exactly the same thing you did in regards to the tightening the concentric lock!!
Are you going to check to blower motor amp draw again after cleaning out the duct work? I'm sure it will be moving more air and using more amps.
I have no idea what I'm doing here but I enjoy watch those videos 😂
To quote another RUclips AC guy, "Good enough for this neighborhood", "you ain't got no Taj Mahal here right". Great video, keep them coming!
good ol' Steve
I never had to do a complete fan assembly reassembly, i take my hat off to you,,,..
Looks good
I had an install last year we did all metal ductwork on a 35 ton rooftop the duct dropped down 8 or 10 feet then a square 90 right out of the unit and it was big ductwork but you should have seen how much it vibrated that section of duct
For hearing protector my preference is the Peltor Optime III (H540A) by 3M. But for your work it might be sufficient with the Optime II (H520F-409-GQ) that are available in a foldable variant so that they can be safely stashed. Sweaty ears is a small price to pay for a good protection.
Maybe I have noted this before, but I prefer black zip-ties since they seem to not degrade as fast, especially in sunlight.
Nice video
Every time you tested the blower that could hear it start up and it had a really cool startup sound
Dude, greasert's Where's the grease Where's the smhoo!!!
I would be interested in seeing current draw on the indoor blower motor before/after cleaning that return air grill.
I seen a grease fitting on the bearings, so do you grease them after installation and or during service checks or are they going to last longer than the blower will?
Nice!
Chris I bought some stuff from truetech and I used the discount. Going to buy about $2000 next week.thank you
Thanks so much bud, if you know what your buying if you dont mind send me an email and I can generate links that will help me out a bit more.... hvacrvideos@gmail.com

@@HVACRVIDEOS will check it out thanks
with the amount of Dirt in the return air turning vanes.. will it just reclog the blower wheels? do you use high pressure air to clean the return air grills and turning vanes.. are there filters missing in the return air grills.. do you use duct cleaning equipment. or do you sub that out to specialists??
