Fan motors are easy. Everything is either unplugging wire terminals or turning some nuts on some threaded screws built into the fan. With disconnects, it's demo work and fitting work, which is always the longest part of installs, from new systems down to the electrical whip...
Nice job. That heavy wire is a pain to work with, and so are those knockouts. Thank goodness for washers. They won't be taking away a disconnect with that nice new box! I can't imagine that kids would mess with something like a disconnect. Probably was some jerky tenants. As a rule, the tenant is behind in their rent, and they get evicted. Then they want to take it out on the owner, even though it's their fault. My brother in law had a tenant that put nuts and bolts in the garbage disposal, and he was trying to help them out when they were having a tough time. So much for gratitude. Some people are such A-holes
I went on a service call for a movie theater located at a mall yrs ago. There most have been over 75 RTU on the Mall's roof. I find my unit ( the theater had 8 units) I looked and the friggin condenser motor was gone, just the MTR the blade and mounting brackets were still there instead the condenser compartment. I got a good chuckle out of that one.
A couple of my friends used to huff Freon back in high school, it made their voices really deep for a few seconds. They tried to get me to try it, I refused. I can’t imagine how dangerous that was.
@CA-lk6fd that's why I never understood the locking caps on the service ports,if your dumb enough to huff refrigerant that's just natural selection at work to me
That knock out problem happens to me almost every disconnect that style, know i try to save the washers from the whipps i buy.i always end up knocking out the whole hole instead of the 1/2 in electric. Good video
I've had it happen on big expensive electrical panels and little boxes too. Enough that I've taken to eyeballing how punched or not the knockouts are and keeping a cordless dremel style tool and metal cut discs and scoring the breaks so I don't need to get the knockout reducers. Some mfrs just have really bad punches
Yea i just get a pack of reducers and go ahead and knock out the big ones because they’re always easier to get out and reducers makes it easier to run the wire in. Customer pays for the reducers but saves from labor.. win win in my opinion..
In the UK we have isolator switches with lockable handles. Turn it off and use a padlock to prevent others turning it back on because you have the key. No fiddly disconnect parts to lose.
you can put a lock on the disconnect box but then people would lose the key the new one he put in was a breaker not a removable disconnect like the old one
I did a unit before for a breakup. He took shower head and tub spout. Then they said the A/C has not worked since he left, I was like I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but no pull out was missing. I feel your pain.
On my experience, working in apartment complex, that's the norm with disgruntled Tennant. They fill they have to damage something to stick it to the man...
Years ago I worked as apartment maint. man. One tenant who got evicted left a mattress and box spring behind. A few hours after they moved out the smoke alarm in the apartment went off. I went in and the place was full of smoke. They had set a smoldering fire between the mattress and box spring. If the smoke alarm hadn't gone off the whole place would have been on fire.
I cannot tell you how many times I have found this same scenario. I wish they sold just the pull out shorting blocks, because i have had to replace almost brand new disconnects just because of the missing pull out.
2:16 - As Eric O. from South Main Auto would say, "There's your problem, lady!" Having "Edge of Seventeen" stuck in your head isn't that bad. There are at least a dozen songs I can think of that would drive me absolutely nuts if they were stuck in my head. Donovan's "First There is a Mountain," Maria Muldaur's "Midnight at the Oasis," Lou Bega's "Mambo No. 5," Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians' "I Do," just to name a few. I definitely felt your pain on those multi-size knockouts. I don't trust my luck, so I always buy a reducing adapter ahead of time. 😉

@@deddie4645 I think he did the right thing to install a breaker. just replacing the disconnect might end up with a return visit beacause someone mischievous might steal it again.
@@softwarephil1709 So, you are saying the exact same thing I said, but in different words.. Yep :) Maybe you missed the "with a breaker" part. I didn't say anything about finding a matching pull plug.
I imagine that it may have taken him longer to go get one in labor, than to replace the panel with one on the truck. Maybe he also charges more per hour on the weekend, maybe his parts place was closed on the weekend. I am sure there could be many reasons.
Those bars don't always interchange. Besides I have never tried to buy just the bar. The entire disconnect is 17.00. If he can't buy the bar itself and that one would work. That would make the new disconnect useless. He would have to charge for the complete disconnect anyway.
If your wires are to short, code allows wire nuts in the box..put you a little extension and good to go. Also the knockout, I lift with screw driver and use some good nippers.
You are *always* supposed to use knockout bushings inside and outside the box. You may never rely on the remaining knockout rings for a connection. But if you didn’t have the part, you could have just swapped out the internals from the new box and kept the old box which was obviously rated for at least 30A and in good physical condition.
Love these types of channels, THANKS !! curious, in these situations, and maybe I missed it in video, do you call landlord and say, I can put an entire new component in now, or I can order you a replacement pull out, or they can look around for it and see if they find it?
I must admit, when I was younger and my neighbor was a complete jerk, I would frequently flip their breaker on their AC unit.. I have since grown up...😂😂
I had a buddy that did maintenance in a trailer park and a disgruntled tenant filled the duct work with raw chicken, in the summer. All the duct work had to be replaced to the the smell out .
I had a call years ago at a lawyers home. The company i was with had installed a change out 2 days earlier. He informed how low life and incopmptent we were and preparing paper work to demand a refund. So after I informed him an unkown criminal had vandalized his disconnect and smashed it in the drive way. And he refused new electrical with change out. And since disconnect authority was a grey area he should call his electrician. And i got in my truck and drove away.
There is a possibility that the previous tenants pulled the disconnect to prevent others in the house from using the AC and simply forgot to put it back when they moved out. Here in California I have never seen a breaker AC disconnect, it has always been fuses. Is a breaker up to code???
Seems like youd call the owner and ask if they took the disconnect for some reason before youd go through installing a new one.. but i guess easy money if you just put one on in.. way of the game..
I think I would spray some type of bug juice all around them outside boxes before attempting to work/remove on it first.. maybe before I even open the lid, or maybe have some gloves on:-).. just saying love your work, sort of how things go for me never as simple as I would like at times, especially when you follow up on a past bubba install/fix…
Wanting to get into service, shouldn’t you always lockout tag the breaker box? What if some goes in the house and messes with it while you’re working on the disconnect.
Maybe some local feral primates stole it just to cause trouble, or it might have been someone who had a beef with the prior tenants; who knows? Fleetwood Mac is definitely one of the better earworms to have. I've got another one for you, a particularly fitting one: Georgia Rhythm, by Atlanta Rhythm Section. Play that one cranked a few times, and you'll have a new earworm.
I'm 4 minutes into the video and the first thing my mind is doing is asking if someone has swapped a ground and a power wire going into this A/C unit to see if I will damage it by plugging a disconnect pull out into the system.
So instead of putting a plastic connection piece you go and change the entire unit. What purpose other than charging more for your work does that provide?
Tenant didn’t get all deposit back. I doubt landlord would call if he knew where it was. Old tenants were spiteful and was like I’ll make you pay the 1k somehow.
Was it a foreclosure? Thoes bank contractors that (winterise foreclosure properties at least up in New York ) remove yankout disconnects, and then the realtor throws them out when cleaning out the property.
I hate knockouts, seeing a professional having the same problems that I have trying to get the right size knockout is actually relieving knowing that it's not me.
Might have been the previous tenant, but it could have been ANYONE. That disconnect box is wide open and there are teens around who think this kind of vandalism is fun. (I remember being almost that silly when I was 15...)

this is exactly why rent is so high now, people destroy homes they rent, every single home I ever rented when I was younger always had several major repairs due to people doing damage while living there.
If it was same brand disco, why not just stick disconnect in from new one, rather changing the whole thing? But I’m guessing you checked that off camera.
Sabotage is possible, but it was probably something stupid. May have been pulled by the landlord or maintenance man, and put in a stupid place. May have fallen on the ground and the grass cutters got it, or kids, Lord knows. A plain shame though. Nice job changing it, you just barely had enough wire.
Maybe the landlord pulled the disconnect to get non-paying Tennent's to move out. Might have been several months till summer heat set in and disconnect was lost in the mean time.
Nice work Curtis. I have run into that situation several times throughout the years. I chalked it up to disgruntled tenants.
Use a 1/8 drill bit and drill out the connection points for the size you want. This will give you a clean brake every time. Thanks for making great content!
*Break
I always found that a step bit did a good job for this.
I just use a greenlee knock out set.
IF disgruntled previous tenant did do this then the next trade to visit will probably be a plumber...
So true! I had a tenant that flushed dish towels down both toilets before moving out. Cost them a $300 plumber bill (took it out of their deposit).
now that could be a shitty mess
Well, that's a lot better than somebody foaming the sewer line.... With big gap filler foam
Be lucky someone didn't steal the outside unit
