- I give a tour of my HVAC service van, and show the layout and storage ideas I use inside of it. HVAC vehicle layouts are personal in nature, but I hope you can take some of these service vehicle ideas and apply them to your own HVAC service truck.

Thanks for watching! What other great ideas did I miss? Always looking for unique storage solutions for the van!
I'm going to use you as a guide to reach my own goals.
I like how the plywood is cutout to hold the tools in place no slipping around no bungee cords
Dude as a HVAC contractor that is a flipping phenomenal set up you have there
Well thank you Ryan!!! Appreciate you watching, need to do an updated tour, much has changed!
I own a heating and cooling company I have been working 2 years out of a four-door Jeep Wrangler I'm getting ready to get a van from a friend and you have some great ideas right now the van is butt naked I love your layout and yes you are correct everyone personalized their own thank you so much for making this video very much appreciated it keep up the great work until next time
great idea with the plywood & framing...prob the cleanest & most organized van i ever saw...i keep a shop vac on the van...a small one...ridgid makes a 4 1/2 gal portable one that looks like a tool box...great for small clean up jobs...i also keep a duffle bag with a full change of clothes...carpenter jeans & company t-shirt, socks & sweatshirt. great video 👍
It takes dedication and time to keep a van well organized
Brother you ARE prepared!! In my opinion being organized is the only way to be efficient! Van looks good !!👍
🤔damn the zip ties on pvc pipes, that’s so genius mate! 😎👍🏻
Very organized, will save you time and money .
Thanks for the videos and time. Your setup is cool, efficient, and accessibility is all go. Have a nice one.
I'm not a technician (looking into it) but if I was I would want my van to be exactly this way. Great job 💪🏾💯
I love what you're doing with that Freon that's a great idea
A work station organised and kept in his way shows a master of our trade works here.
You sir, clearly are good at what you do.
Maybe too good....
Great working station.
Super organized.
Congrats
Your van is very well organized and well designed.
Ideal Technician. Clean & Organized 👊💪💯
A lot of good ideas to modify an off-the-shelf van system. Thanks
Very, very nicely done. Your OCD just triggered my OCD into overdrive. I thought my van was organized. Yours puts mine to shame. Awesome... Thanks for sharing..
Rick Ramirez glad you enjoyed it!
That was a clean service van. That should win a blue ribbon.
That’s really nice bro! My van is pretty well organized as well but you killed it!
This brings a tear to my eye....
Nice job pal. I like it. My office is a wreck right now. I need to regroup.
I just got the Nissan box van. I'm thinking of the plywood flooring and turning one of the shelves into the power tool storage. Awesome idea!
Lazy thanks man! It's worked out great for me.
It looks super clean man. Great set up!!
Leaving for San Marcos, Tx for and HVAC program, Then going to Denison, IA for Advanced Training, Your Videos Help Me Alot and I hope you continue to make them!
Sounds good gaming. I grew up in Fort Dodge Iowa I think you will like your time up there
a lot of fantastic ideas in that van but i think that bungee holder was the best
Nice and tidy mate , i like your set up .
Great video @Andrew Greaves. Well organized. My only suggestion would be, store your rain gear and arc flash above any chemicals or contaminants. This will help prevent them accidentally spilling onto the porous fabrics and you not realizing until you put it on and receive chemical burns/ etc. Stay safe out there.
Awesome set up! Thanks for taking the time
No problem, thanks for watching!
I like ur setup really clean I bet u take pride in ur work, the in side of ur van talk for ur work u do
Ok. Your brilliant!! Subd. You have now joined the hallowed ranks of the only HVAC guys I will watch. You and Grayfurnaceman.
Wow very organized!👍
Great Organizing very inspirational!
Awesome van bro!
Got some great ideas, good job!
Very nice setup
So nice...as a primary residential tech, my van is mainly parts and media filters..not a lot of room left for tools
Nice Set up. I can never keep my truck clean or organized, but somehow I know were everything is.
awesome set up my man
This would work great for an electrician's van...In fact I intend to adopt the idea's here but scale it down to a smaller size of a Nissan Nv200 S compact (gotta save on that gas). Couple smart vertical shelf builds and I'll be in business. Thanks for the video, really helped me visualize what I want in mine.
Wow nicely organized. My truck looks like a tornado went through it. I should take sometime and set mine up.
That means your making money do worry slow time clean it up.
Nice setup, indeed. Clean.
TheFloorBoys thanks!
I can’t wait to get to this point.
Gots the OCD just like me. Excellent video. Your other Veto videos are excellent too! I am in a different industry, but will defiantly take some organizational tips. You should be at 100k subscribers at least. Keep the videos coming.
antonio thanks for watching! I appreciate the kind words.
NICE SET UP
Awesome Van
very organised 👍🏼 make shelves soon mine is like junkyard
Good Vid. i've never seen those type of recovery jugs before.
thanks man for all the tricks
Looks good
Very organized sir! Bravo!
Solid!
The Republic thanks man! I created a group on Facebook, "HVAC Vehicle Layouts". Check it out!
AK HVAC
Unfortunately not on FB.
My last company had zero overhead. Just a truck and R22.... no ladders
. Everything else just got charged to the job but when our contactors are $1500 or so you can't carry all of them. I carried a lot of my own fittings etc for testing purposes. It's nice having room!
Again... great truck!
I
Nice Awesome and Simple. Cool
Dude this is a sick set-up 👌🏼
Thanks brotha!
awsome job man hard to beat drawers the keep all so tidy
Thank you! Yes drawers help a LOT.
Very organized van I all ways tell myself I'm going to keep my van that way but every time I clean and organize it after a week or 2 it's back to it's normal trashed self that's the only thing I miss about doing installs is having a helper to clean my van
SUBSCRIBED: found your channel cuz of the Cowboys of HVAC podcast - stealing a couple of those storage ideas!
mike_HVAC steal away man! Thanks for watching
Good van for service can’t picture doing a big job out of that van
That is a clean set up u have inspired me to clean my van lol maybe not to this extent
Very nice set up
Rick Narsis thanks Rick! Appreciate ya watching!
Fantastic van setup! Best I've seen. One valuable tool is missing. It is called "The Tank" vacuum pump oil change caddy sold
by JB industries. You can use the JB vacuum pump blow down procedure, to drain your vacuum pump in 15 seconds. The Tank is good for 5 JB oil changes. I invented and patented it. I've been a tech for 47 years. I am now very part time and in my twilight days of service. My bones speak to me on a daily basis.
You invented that?? Sir I absolutely have that caddy! It's kept under the shelving next to my vacuum pump oil, I use it weekly! This video is over a year old, not sure if I had it in for this video. My hat's off to you sir, techs always are jealous when they see me change my oil right in the van in minutes. I also have brought it right to the repair site when I know multiple changes will be needed. Thanks so much for watching, and love the caddy!
Yes. Changing vacuum pump oil has always been a pain in the butt for me. I received my U.S. patent in
2012, but most of the techs don't even know it exists. When you look at the cost of the Appion and the
Fieldpiece vacuum pumps, JB pump cost is very reasonable with a Tank. Most techs are not aware of
the super fast blow down procedure of the JB into the Tank. The marketing of it has been poor at best
by JB. Maybe you could do a video on Blowing down your JB pump into the Tank and easily refilling it
without any spills. With all this junk about China eating our lunch all the time, I am proud to say that
my Tank and ALL of JB'S line is American made and always will be. Thank you for all you do.

You Big proffessional⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, and very like tools👍, I hoop your job help you have for big many for your and your family.

Hey u label it to well , the robbers know we're to go first lol just kidding . Very clean set up and enjoying your vids .
JH HVAC & Plumbing thanks for the comment!
Nice H-10 PRO!
Thank you for using JB Vacuum Pumps!
Nice setup dude
John McMaster thanks man!
sweet man!
I keep a flashlight in the glove-box of my Mercedes S550.
Nice!
NICE!!
nice set up
Thanks bro, appreciate you watching!
Very nice ( 11 year tech ) I’m impressed
Thanks for watching man👍👍!! Appreciate the support🍻
I just subbed up to your channel AKGreaves. I am moving into a newer van on Monday 5-1-17. I am sure it is a Ford Transit 2017 model. I will let you know if I like it. I am going to miss the 2500 Chevy Express from 2010. It never failed me over the years.
polishtheturd mickelson awesome! Let me know how it works out for you
So far so good. I got the 250 Model. Quite a bit more floor storage room in the back. It rides and accelerates very nice for high way driving. I got more refrigerant tank holders now, only had 3, now I got 6. Overall, I like it. Small gas tank on it, seem to have to fill up more, biggest complaint so far.
dang. motivation!
I just watched your video. I wish we didn't have to carry a lot of parts I live in the north east (PENNSYLVANIA) I work on gas oil heat pumps and a/c equipment so we have parts on van for all of that plus we do the installing to so that means more stuff. Some time's I wish I had a semi with a 30 foot trailer lol
Awesome. Can't wait to get my first service van.
thats really organized, I really like it. where do you get your metal shelving, you build it or buy it?
I didn't know Chris Pratt was an HVAC technician.😆
I like a full rollaway tool cabinet right behind the passenger seat
nice
I like the catwalk
I can't remember...it was either Sigmund Freud or Cyndi Lauper that said "An organized truck represents an organized tech that takes pride in their work"
😂😂
Or one who is not very busy.
It could also be a sign of a diseased mind. ;)
Wrong and wrong. It was Spongebob Squarepants; season 3 episode 11.
Nice setup
T&N Services LLC. Thanks Ralph! That's the military in me bleeding into civilian life!
Could you tell me about the two grey refrigerant tanks towards the back?
Very nice. Although I cant help but feel guilty storing tanks sideways with the manufacturer recommendations and all.
I know what I'm doing tomorrow 😂
I must have had same OCD when it comes to labels..Not quite as clean , working residential & commercial allot of stock in mine. had Reefer/by side door easy to get to.
Michael Lee doesn't always look like this, but I try!
I am not an HVAC worker but I like your organization... Nice...
Greg
What kind of label maker do you have? With the green labels??
Great video.
Btw, what hvac company you are working for???
Can you ask me where you got the metal bin on the back right door? Also the D hooks for the drills where did you get those? Thank for the information in advance.
Did you just screw plywood into floor of van ? Did you have to do anything special with that ?
Great video bro !!!
Hi Andrew! Happy Monday. I was just reviewing your van video. I watched it last year. Has anything changed in how you had it set up until now. About 3 weeks ago my company got me a Chevy 1 ton van with what appears to be a small house on back. I use to have a Silverado with a service body on the back. But with this I have way more room. I'm still getting used to it and by the time that I have it set up the way I want it I'll be retired and my apprentice will have it. Have a great week. God bless.
Little things here and there have changed, but the "framework" has stayed the same. That said, I've held off on an updated tour because were supposed to be getting the new ford transits soon, so everything will change after that. I'll do a new video then. Good luck with setting yours up Blaze! You have a great week too!
as an electrical guy (pre apprentice) i know you guys do a lot of electrical and instrumentation type stuff, any tips or books you recommend?
Hey man sick van! Where did you get those bins/trays you have your tape and stuff in?
BigDHessIII if you mean the black plastic trays, those were from Home Depot in the toolbox area. They're cheap too, I think about 5 bucks a piece.
How do you fit units in there
How did you frame out on the plywood? Did you nail up from the bottom? Fantastic vid by the way, I’m a new subscriber today! 😁😁
It's just sittin in there, I didnt mount it to the floor. Its notched in a few places so it cant slide around, and thats it! Doing a new updated van tour video soon. I'll try and show a little more on how I used the plywood. Thanks for watching!
Some good ideas but some ideas lead to wasted space. It is a lot better than most vans out there. Also it is hard in a van that small to set it up good.
Dang man, you put my van to shame.
Is it legal to carry the refrigerant jugs like that? That could be a very expensive ticket
Looks like a JCI lock out tag out box ...
