happy thanksgiving i had to run a whole new low volt today last call from one side of the house to the other through the attic today because it was all deteriorated
I am a Female HVAC Tech been in field as tech little over a year and was hvac helper for 10 years. I love to watch your troubleshooting every video teaches me something new have a great Thanksgiving!
That is so freakin awesome - to see a female in this field! I know there are several women out there who work in HVACR, but it's fascinating to know that there are women out there who aren't intimidated by the dangers involved in this industry, nor by the grunts, moanings, and trash talking done by men who are seemingly less intelligent. From all of us men in this field who are filled with compassion and respect, we welcome you all with open arms. 🫂 😊
@@ParabellumX That is my biggest problem. Is men thinking I do not know what I am talking about my Father ran his own HVAC/R business for 35 years I know the ends and outs and worked for him until he passed away earlier this year. My mother was his main ductwork installer and I started in ductwork when I was 15. I will be 38 now. Then some guys are like you really know your stuff.
@@femaletechofhvac, I'm 43, and, thanks to Curtis here (along with Brian Orr, from HVAC School; Craig Migliaccio, from A/C Service Tech, and a few others), watching their RUclips videos inspired me to go to college and learn the trade! 😊 I'm not joking when I tell you that I literally developed a passion for this trade overnight. I don't know what got me so interested all of a sudden, but I think it's because of the intricacy of the A/C and furnace systems in themselves. I love watching their videos and seeing them arrive at a different customer's house and being presented with a different set of problem(s). I've always loved a challenge, so I think it has a lot to do with being able to arrive at a customer's house and saying to yourself, "Okay, solve the puzzle. What's wrong with this unit?..." 🤔 And solving the puzzles in this field rewards you handsomely. 😏
Good for you Kristy. I've got zero problems with females in the industry and anyone who does is probably intimidated and worried you'll show them up. As a service supervisor, I give zero damns what anyone is other than competent.
I’m a semi-retired painting and siding business owner and former USAF F-16 Mechanic. I like your style. Thinking about spending my last working years in this trade.
Vivint smart home thermostat. Like a nest connects to your phone this one connects to the alarm system and their phone. I've installed hundreds of those in my time working for Vivint. Never had many issues with them unless they were ebad from day one. Kinda like a Nest they can be touchy sometimes. Much prefer the HVAC trade vs Security systems
Impressed - you are very good in your profession. Troubleshooting with low voltage signals can be quite difficult and with wrong thermostate in addition.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your wife 🦃 I enjoy your channel, but I wish sometimes I could tell you things as I am watching; like on the high efficiency unit you just looked at that 15 amps is about like running a blow dryer when old ones could be as much as 60 amps at start up. Or in the one with the loud induction fan how it would be hard to put a trap on the condensate line due to it being on the floor, but it needs one. On the gas line one the safest thing to do would probably be to just run a new gas line from the meter to the package unit. Touching old connections could lead to other leaks-and that crawl space was to low to do much work in it. Keep on Trucking!!
Hey bro I luv your work........Kevin dexter Barnes from Trinidad and Tobago the Caribbean can u c say hi to me in your next video........I need some advice on a ac unit
Happy Thanksgiving Curtis, I am glad to see you reading the install instructions on the T4 or T6 stat, makes me feel less uneasy that I still have to do it, if a seasoned tech like yourself still does it!
I post them as soon as I can. If you’re watching on a mobile device there’s usually a link in the description that has “dialogue” even before I can post CC
I try keep it simple they have a few problems but I've been using Emerson stats hate the nest it's not worth the trouble that thermostat there im not sure about
Nest are absolutely horrible. I had to install a secondary zone control board on a navien boiler system because the nest thermostat never shut off the boiler even when heat was satisfied. Nest had no answer for me expect using a secondary zone control board.
The only thing more annoying than the people who don't leave any slack on cables are the people who cut the unused wires off flush with the sheath, instead of wrapping them back around the cable for future use.
Great video Curtis very helpful it's like I'm going to class every time I watch your videos because they are very knowledgeable and helpful Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family and may you be blessed in every way
If I see a Nest or a store bought thermostat on the wall, I let them know I may be back and I will charge more for the trip. It usually gets them to let me put my thermostat on.
That was a Vivint thermostat which means is was not installed by the homeowner but by a “Professional”. Probably the same Pro that left 2 inches of thermostat wire in the unit.
Good stuff Curtis‼️
Happy Thanksgiving’s brother!

Trouble shooting should begin with easy stuff first. Check breakers. Jump thermostat for desired function.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone
Easy money on that one. You knew it was the t-stat.
Happy Thanksgiving 😊😊
Curtis, you are a kind and gentle man. Happy Thanksgiving
Good job Curtis. Happy Thanksgiving

That thermostat had probably outlived its usefulness 😅. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and may your turkey be tender
Nice work
Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving, take the day off please, keep posted this kind of videos (real life scenarios) even if you get sponsors.

That was an Amazon Alexa thermostat. I suspect it was not programmed for a heat pump. Did you check?
HTG, Curtis!
Sure would be nice to use the CC so those of us who can't hear can follow along

Ruud must be very common in your area, because many of your videos are on ruud units
Yes, they are
wire cost so much lol
hope you don't get called out today. enjoy your eats in peace. and it would be a crappy thermostat...
Thermostat seems be most common issues
How come they didn’t call the installer if it was only one year old . Warranty ?
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Curtis
Happy Thanksgiving. Don’t eat too much you may not fit in those tight crawl spaces lol
The only thing more annoying than the people who don't leave any slack on cables are the people who cut the unused wires off flush with the sheath, instead of wrapping them back around the cable for future use.
Happy Thanksgiving
Same to you!
