You have a good shaped head
It's a beautiful head.
LMAO
Although this statement is true, it's funny how this is the top comment xD
it's perfect
Thank you, I appreciate it
Who else got this in their recommended and has no idea what is going on but still watched the whole video🙋♂️
I always think it's because the title is yelling at me to watch ;)
o/
I'm clueless yet interested
yup
m
walks into a freezer, immediately starts fondling the chicken strips
Goes without saying…
I have no interest in this subject. Why am I here? This is a surprisingly mundane part of youtube I have wandered into. Is the algorithm trying to tell me something? Why did I sit through this video?
You're very easy to listen to, I guess. 90% of what you said was just static to me but I was listening.
You'd love the lawncare community on yt
Because it's chill?
you too?, lol i have no idea why i'am here
I think I fell in the same hole you did. Please help us...
Same, I think youtube is telling me to learn a trade.
Why do I enjoy listening to experts speak technical jargon that I don't comprehend? Perhaps it's comforting to know that there are people out there who actually know what they're doing.
I work in IT doing networking, cabling, wifi, computer repair, wireless networking, and programming. But I find these videos interesting, you HVAC guys have an entirely different set of skills that no one gives you credit for. The big picture troubleshooting tips work in all fields, figuring out why the problem started in the first place rather than just fixing it and leaving is worth your time to the client and you. I should probably record some videos about IT stuff in a similar way except lots of my work is in an office full of people working.
I also work in IT. I'm constantly trying to see the big picture of why something failed rather than just solve the problem.
My boss, however, is of the "let's fix it now and worry about the rest later" mindset. I can't tell you how many times I've been bitten in the ass by that. Fix the problem now, then I'm back in a few days doing it again. And again. And again. By that third time, I just do my thing and figure out why whatever is happening is happening, fix it right, and low and behold no more problems.
@@LostDryerSocks I am glad the guys I work for have built a relationship with our clients that we are "Experts", and that is why they call us to fix things. We don't take advantage of that, but when we say no do not connect your printer through WiFI you need to pay for a cable they say ok I will pay for it so we don't have problems again. We work with small to medium businesses so the other problem we have is 4-8 year old computers they don't want to give up.
I could, but it's enough a headache as is. I do lots of small business work after-hours, sometimes 24 hours straight weekend warrior to patch and replace things.
no time for diddling about with cameras, especially if there's multiple jobs spread around a building, I get more leg exercise than runners at times :))
@@webluke haha, the good ol trusty wireless printer issue. That's one of the times I've had to go back because my boss didn't want to wire it. Still waiting for a call back.
Side note, were we work (boss and I) there is never a charge for anything as we work for the place directly and are on campus during the day. It's more of a nuisance for myself and the end user to have to keep going back to their room.
I've been doing this for 18 years. Most people appreciate what you do for them, but let me tell you there's some real interesting people out there that treat you like a piece of garbage for helping them out in a time of Crisis. I never understand. This type of behaviour and there's days where I wish i stayed in the auto bizz
I'm an HVAC dilettante. The place I used to work had an HVAC store next door and I would wander in there and sometimes find something useful.
I have fixed minor things on a few systems. Added freon, etc. Fortunately never messed anything up.
Didn't know about receivers. Read more about them on the internet.
The other day I pulled into a parking spot at a quick market. One of their refrigeration units was mounted low on the side of the building with the cover off. Because of this channel I was able to identify all the parts and explain them to my wife. She got bored.
Confession: I turned it off so we can get a new video today.
lol
U R an asset to both the trade and the customer. The thermal camera is a real truth teller..... Thanks for posting and thanks for your thoroughness.
Thanks for watching!! I will discuss this on my Livestream this evening 4/12/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) on RUclips come check it out ruclips.net/video/Qb1TL1f-06c/видео.html
When I first saw the title I thought there was going to be like, human remains in the fan or something lol.
Knowing this guy, he'd be like "here, the fan isn't moving well, let's take a look. Oh right here, you see, human hand. I bet if we move this;- yep. There's a whole person. I don't see a reason to get the police involved, I'll just take care of this real quick. Owner said he had no idea there was a person in the fan, which is weird cuz I hadn't told them yet."
@@thebirchwoodtree lol
me: happily watching dying light

I can't believe they waited two days. The last Big kitchen I ran would have about $25-30,000 in Shrimp and Lobster Meat during height of the season plus other provisions. If there was a inkling of the freezer not performing properly or if my gut just was telling me there was something going on, I would call for service right away. Not declaring an emergency but would ask my guy to stop by when they could.
Preventive maintenance is the key. But not all owners get that. We were open 5 months. I had my guy clean everything to do with refrigeration/Ice Machines before we opened and at the end of the season. In one of your other vids you said you couldn't sleep and went back the next morning. That's how I am as well. You just know and always trust your gut. Nice Job as always.
sounds like they should have two fully independent cooler systems with that much expensive product or at minimum independent refer systems in it, with say 10F leeway, one fails the other cycles on, alternate them monthly to test and ensure the standby is working.....
@@throttlebottle5906 Well in the true pattern of most restaurants... owners can be really cheap. Ya know... put a band-aid on it.
The problem is, the business is closed two days of the week, the freezer went down just after they closed for the week. The glass doors have a heater to prevent frost to keep the windows clear. The problem is, when the compressor quit, the heaters kept working, which made the food thaw even faster, the brand is Beverage Air.
trust me i work in hvac and its always like this even gas stations do it for their coolers its always " well it hasnt worked right all week" like really
Cause fridge mechanics are a rip off.
I don't know what RUclips is doing, why it is sending me to a video topic I have NEVER watched anything from before, but hey I enjoy watching new stuff and learning new things so I don't mind.
Also, good video, informative and without any wasted footage (walking back and forth, removing covers without any info, that sort of stuff).
The company I worked for doesn't allow me to do videos but as a service manager I do ask my techs to watch your videos because seeing it is believing it. Been doing this for over 20 years I still learn something all the time and you service the same type of restaurants we do so it's a win-win situation.
Right on, filming is a tricky one. I'm the owner so I dont have to ask but honestly I wouldnt let my guys film because it's too much of a liability...... I try to not disclose the locations I'm working at but sometimes I slip but I'm very careful to only show certain things.... it's not worth losing a customer over
@@HVACRVIDEOS It's fun to try and guess. "Whose chicken fingers are those in the freezer???" 😆
The algorithm has spoken. Everyone should watch freezer videos
I'm currently going to school for HVAC and I'm glad I found your channel
Every eng'g / vocational schools should consult with your vids man. Great vids, I honestly think you are a great educational channel! Keep it up.
No idea why this was recommended to me.
Watched entire thing, anyways. Very interesting. Very professional.
Any day is a good day if you learn something.
IDK why I'm here but I really like to watch people work :D
It's always really interesting to watch a working man that knows his stuff do his thing (outside your own profession).
I have a theory. Two really.
I used to work in the food industry, during college, and more recently when i was between jobs, and a friend's grandmother offered me a position in her Cantina's kitchen.
The Job in college...well there were two of them. One of them, the people were great, owners took care of things FAST. But the one that came before...the owner would turn off the freezer when our food got close to expiration...and then claim it out using his business insurance, stating the freezer malfunctioned. Sleazy as all get out.
The other theory is, an angry employee. people do stupid shit when they are mad at employers.
I knew about an HVAC business owner who would turn off units at a mall just so he could show up and make some money
@@TheAnimeAtheist I knew an Electrician who did shit like that. Hell, i got scammed by one who offered to do the upgrade i needed by law for my house, (i had under ground electrical lines, and had a box about 100 feet from the house where the lines came up for utility servicing, meter reads, etc)
Bastard went and hooked his house to MY line, so i was getting billed for his usage. My house burned down, and the meter was still reading a lot of usage. Like 3x what i had been using before he 'fixed it'.
There was a possibility his 'work' may be why the house burned, after getting hit by lightning. Lightning rod on the house was probably not properly grounded anymore.
Eh when I worked st dominos we would chill on the roof at night to smoke. Though we never flipped switches it's quite possible
I love RUclips simply because of how anyone in any position/profession can put up a super entertaining video just detailing a day working their job, or something particularly interesting. HVACR, human, baumgartner restorations, etc. are all just different people sharing their craft with the world.
Couldn’t hear the tunes with those loud fans man... gotta love roofers.
@QuestionMan Read my mind.
Why would a company lockout a disconnect on a roof that you have to get permission to get on? Only people that should be able to get up there are staff and service personelle
@QuestionMan disconnects are lockable in the "OFF" position, rarely/never in the "ON" position. They are a saftey system to remove power from the device, which is why you will always find one adjacent to electrical equipment, so the technician can verify on the spot that the device is unpowered.
Naaa roofers usually got their music loud enough to go over the fans
@@Atenhitv the style disconnect in this video can be locked in the "on" position by putting a padlock through the hole in the bracket when the handle is in the up position. If you bend the crap put of the handle you could get it past the padlock, but it's a pretty good deterrent. In my area most disconnects on rooftop equipment are lockable in the "on" position for the very reason this video exists.
This man is a professional. I would've switched that lever back on and not even considered why it was off.
Thanks so much! I will be going live on RUclips this evening 2/24/20 @5:PM (pacific time) to discuss my most recent uploads and answer questions from RUclips comments, the Live chat, and email’s. Come on over and check it out if you can. ruclips.net/video/qop5jyuMfmc/видео.html
I mostly work with IT and industrial electronics so I'm not quite sure how this ended up in my recommended feed, but boy am I glad it did. It was a surprisingly entertaining and really interesting video, thank you for sharing!
I'm too stupid to understand mechanical problems such as refrigeration, coolant, electrical, or other problems, but I am glad that there are people like yourself who have practical skills and practical education on such subjects to help the rest of us idiots when things like this go wrong, and it's good to see you're one of the ones that are honest and have integrity. There's many types of people in this world and I would always want someone like yourself working on a practical problem and keeping customers in the loop and part of the process rather than some of the ones out there who just do the bare minimum.
In short, I value people who solve practical problems, because practical problems require an education and intellect that many of us aren't wired for.
I'm an electrician but I find your channel entertaing
Heat producing device,that made me smile. When I lived in Canada trying to charge rooftops in stupid temps, I would never say we use our torches. We did sometimes if we had local power we would strap a crankcase heater to the can.
I have no idea how i eneded up here, but I love watching your vids while going to sleep.....oddly....relaxing?
We have a chain of restaurants out here in Phoenix, we found that when we find disconnects off it's the hood cleaning company tapping power and forgetting to either turn on the switch or putting pull out back in place...
Sounds like a good reason to start putting locks on the boxes...
@@lamelama22 except you can't it's a safety device, not just an on/off switch. I'm pretty sure you are not legally allowed to lock it on.
@@Dysan72 You can 100% lock it in the on position. The fuses provide the safety, not the handle.
This is no different that a breaker panel being in a locked utility room.
That was my first thought as well. Especially after he showed the "belt debris" under the bucket lid, looked like vent fan belts to me, and I doubt they come up through the hatch with their equipment.
Dysan27 a quick google search revealed that it’s totally legal and acceptable to put locks on such things. in fact, if you look at the transfer switch in the video, it has holes specifically for a lock; and it’s common practice - at both my last 2 jobs, there are such switches throughout the facilities and they all have locks on them. Having watched LPL’s videos; they make locks with non-conducting bodies for these uses as well. The idea is, that if someone is going up there in an emergency situation to throw that switch, the manager / security / whoever will be able to give them the key, or it’s someone, like a firefighter, who will be carrying bolt cutters specifically for that case. They do the same thing for firefighting equipment on buildings, and for utility company boxes. You just want to keep out idiots and vandals.
i am from mexico and i learn a loot from your videos, thanx for doing and for the explanation at the end of videos
I learn something new every time i watch your videos. Thanks alot
the algorithm has blessed you, be proud.
I too got recommended to this video. I have no idea why but I too also watch the video all the way.
I had never touched a refrigeration system until november last year when I got sent on a course by my workplace, which was mainly focused on ammonia and CO2 refrigeration systems that we use. However, the course included halocarbon systems so I got the choice to take another certificate for those, so I did. I did well on the exams and passed, went from clueless to actually knowing what I was doing in about five weeks.
Now I'm here due to the RUclips algorithm, and I find it quite interesting. Thank you for actually taking the time and recording these videos, I don't get to work with these systems daily so this is my dose of refrigeration systems.
The recommendation page is a magical place
No idea how I ended up here...
But hey now I know how the maintenance guys does their magic.
Neat.
Me: Wants to go to bed
RUclips Recommendation: Watch this dude fix a broken freezer
Ah, i seem to have stumbled upon a fellow non-sleeper
Ive been cleaning kitchen exhaust systems for 17 yrs. Ive seen a few times the power washer hoses getting pulled onto the roof get caught on those disconnect handles and turn things off. Like the videos man nice job.
Thank you, RUclips algorithm, for teaching me that freezers are interesting
I don't know why youtube recommended this, I've never worked on a AC more complicated then a swamp cooler, I've never looked up anything related to this before, but i sat thru the whole thing and enjoyed it. I feel like i just gained minor knowledge in a subject i don't know anything about before, so thanks for that man.
Good man, you saved a sparky's life, even if you didn't this time. Too often they will throw a disconnect and not LOTO.
You just got blessed with the Eldritch Machine, youtube recommendations. May the Eldritchness be with you.
I've been a helper/installer at a company since I got out of high school, which has been a year and a half now. Glad RUclips recommended this to me, I've very little experience with rooftops/freezers so this in itself showed me a good bit.
A RUclips recommendation that applies to me and few others. Guys, maybe it's straightening out.
No, idea why RUclips recommended this video to me or why I watched it, but I was weirdly fascinated.
As someone who occasionally works on HVAC, but not enough to be good at it, I'm going to watch a bunch more of yours. They are instructive.
Thanks bud
i dont know what your talking about, im not interested in HVAC things but im still watching this. send repairs.
My parents own a small town grocery store and I wish we had a skilled person like you dealing with our walk-in coolers
Everyone talking about not know why theyre watching this when im in HVAC school and working for a heating/cooling company as a trainee, great video thanks for the tips!!
I'm in refrigeration right now in school. Watching your videos combined with what we are learning has given me a lot of confidence in myself and I really hope to get into commercial refrigeration some day.
if you really want to know refrigeration, do supermarket refrigeration, racks.
I think it was Gordon Ramsay, he is taking his next step to stop frozen food.
One of the more interesting RUclips random recommends. I've always wondered what the refrigeration guys do at my cold storage workplace.
Not the hero we wanted, but the hero we needed.
It shows that you care and your customer knows too. That’s why they let you do whatever you need to do on this freezer system. Good job.
Always ! Always! Excellent videos ! I will never get tire of tell you that I wish I had an opportunity working in your company . Great teacher , excellent person. Thank you .
"We're not just gonna turn a disconnect on, we don't know why."
That's not how we do things in MY maintenance shop.
"A slight burning smell, but as long as it works eh?"
@@hmr1122 You have no idea how true that is.
I swear, working where I do is a game of "keep it running until next shift gets here, then get the fuck out of Dodge".
@@MnemonicHack Sounds like your co-workers are one flipped switch away from being cremated alive on the job and getting to go home in an urn that afternoon.
In my computer shop, we hit switches first and put out fires third. Cat petting is second.
@@redfailhawk Take my like for cat petting being step 2
RUclips must like you man.
It is the not knowing _why_ that disconnect was shut off which would bug me the most. Excellent video!
Holy uxwbill was here a year ago? Watched the old dell videos years ago. Small world.
I wonder if someone was huffing that roof sealer, got messed up and flipped that disconnect accidentally. It's weird the way it's spread around on the lid, like someone was trying to maximize evaporation of the liquid.
Does that stuff actually get you high then?
Just curious, not going to screw around on rooftops trying to fry my brain on whatever is in there.
@@difficultbastard It depends on the brand. Some roof sealers contain toluene, which is huffable. (I don't speak from experience. I like my brain.)
@@KneelB4Bacon Hahah, ok.
The more I live, the more I learn.
@@difficultbastard
By the way, I know youre not curious but if anything ill warn other people reading, but inhalants are basically the most dangerous drug you can do. Literally, probably worse than heroin or meth or any of those. Lots of drugs get over exaggerated or get a bad reputation but people dont know how inhalants can fuck you up. Huffing air duster is according to other people more enjoyable than meth and can not only kill you the first time you use it, but it causes irreversible brain damage also after just one use. I am not joking when I say using inhalants is fucking suicidal.
@@washhtswarrior6411 I remember being told that one of the students in my older brother and sister's school inhaled hairspray, I think it was. Her lungs stuck together and it killed her.
Thanks algorithm.
Great job. Could have flipped the switch and left, but fixed a issue that was only going to get worse.
i don't understand why this is so interesting. I just watched a man fix a walk in freezer for 20 minutes wtf
great material this work ethic can be applied to almost anything you are so great at your job thank you for your videos
Im all honesty, I don't even know what I'm here. I don't work with anything related to HVAC. I have no idea about 99% of what's going on. But I love seeing behind the scenes of jobs. You never what a person actually does and it's pretty interesting to see, even if I can't really comprehend it. It really goes to show ya gotta respect people in what they do, cause everyone is a specialist at their own jobs.
after watching several of your videos i noticed a trend and refer back to what my grandpa used to say "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"
Anyone get this recommended after watching post10. I feel like, while completely different subjects, their knowledge and passion is the same. I like it.
Basics of service technicians that are overlooked by most in training. Well done with the video.
Please do not forget us, new guys!! You are such a great teacher!! We need all the basic things for the working environment!!
You are a masterblaster! Us new guys are not you! I need the A to Z thing!!! Thank you for all the content you provide!!
Best Regards,
Clifford.
Thankfully your customer felt the same as you about throwing the disconnect. I know some customers that would either say or try to throw it themselves, while your professional point of view isn't taken serious. I've heard about customer's employees (not licensed in the field), pull wires since something was beeping (The board does this during a program download, to notify people it's out of service) a bit in a entry way and ended up shorting out a circuit board. Since it didn't explode in their face, they felt everything was fine when they walked away.
the company i was with had a contract with a big customer,which stated that if we could not respond to a break down with in 3 hours,they call another company in and my company would pay them.time and material.we made sure they had priority for sure.
I love to watch things like this. Half the people going to college should go into the trades.
I don't know what I watched to have this in my recommended but I watched it anyway.
Going to school for hvac. Glad youtube recommended this to me, learning a lot from you !
8:38 that fan is having some real-life glicthes
Much respect for keeping the customer involved.
Dunno why this was in my recommended but i watched it all for some reason
The last roof-based disconnector that was switched off, we attributed it to an Ibis. It's a large (heavy) bird that perched on the switch...
my thoughts also, some of them disconnects don't take much force to cycle off vs. on and can be bumped off by a stiff fart :))
awesome job..and best that you were upfront..as usual, you never know if a company is trying to test you.. keep up the great work!!
Great video! very through in your troubleshooting. Glad to hear that you kept the customer informed throughout the whole process! You don't see that happening often..
Thanks for the time you dedicate to these videos. We are learning a lot.
GOOD VIDEO. 55 YEARS IN REFRIGERATION SERVICE - ALL SERVICE VALVES LEAK EVENTUALLY..
Was recommended this, saw the title and thought it'd be something negative. I'm very pleased to see this positive, wide scope perspective on this. It could've been quick, but, as anyone new to any field, knowing is half the battle.
Great job checking everything!
You would be an amazing teacher!! You're very good at explaining things, and why you do things.
Not sure how I came across your channel... I'm an Electronics Tech and somehow you popped up in my feed... But damn, watching this video brought me back a ton of memories working with my Dad back in the day. He was an HVAC guy his entire working life. And damn do I wish I had paid attention to him way more than I did. RIP Dad. Great video. I subbed. Keep up the great work!
Surprised this got recommended to me. I'm actually just starting my HVACR studies to start doing what you're doing man. Thanks for showing field work.
Thanks for watching !! I will be going live on RUclips this evening 2/17/20 @ 5:PM (pacific time) to discuss past videos and answer questions from RUclips comments, Facebook comments, email’s and the Livechat, come on over and check it out. ruclips.net/video/cTBXc_N4O1w/видео.html
Sometimes i go down to the basement to get my ice-cream and then I "SIMPLE WALK IN FREEZER CALL THAT LED TO SO MUCH MORE"
I'm a diesel mechanic, and am really interested in HVAC for some reason. It's obvious you're damn good at what you do. You can tell by the little things when someone has been doing it a long, long time.
Cool stuff, glad this came up on my recommendation. I've done very low level maintenance work for the brewery I work at, not getting too much into any of the technical stuff that you go through and explain in the video, but it was very entertaining to watch, and I like how you approach the problem and are very thorough and detailed in your approach to figuring things out, those are very important work ethics to instill. Good stuff, keep it up!
I just love the way you work... I always learn stuff!
I wonder if another worker up there shut it off and didnt realize it. Ive done that stuff before on accident.
Thanks for the vid dude.
i feel like hes teaching me but like ive messed up 4 times already and now hes pissed he has to reexplain it lmao
Nice fix , probably will have a return customer if not already, a good recommendation , could probably sell temp alarms for wall in freezer and wall in cooler , cheap fix compared to loss of food . Being up front with customer always pays off in the long run.Trusting your HVAC tech means a lot.
I GOT THIS VIDEO RECOMENDED BECAUSE IM WATCHING A LOT OF JOAQUIN PHOENIX VIDEOS AND THE ALGORITHM GOT THIS ONE LMAAAAO
I think we better get a real HVAC technician up here
gotta love the attention to detail very good work
Thanks!
Your videos are so informative...thanks for taking the time to do these videos.
Watching this video makes me feel like a HVAC veteran.
I thought this would be another HVAC tech video from someone who doesn't really understand what they are doing yet is supremely confident in their abilities due to their limited wrote training. I was wrong. This guy knows his stuff. There are so many low budget techs out there who just follow instructions and I wish more of them were like this. People like you help give your profession a better reputation after so much incompetence by cut-rate companies. I don't blame the techs, I blame the companies that hire the lowest cost staff. If I knew I could get you to service my refrigerant systems I wouldn't be doing it myself to avoid trouble.
