nice vid Nic maybe next time fill the whole house with smoke from the room that has no smoke detectors or a room that you think might take longest and see how long it takes
@@All_ConsumingBandumine didn’t either. I read books, tried things at home, and mostly taught myself. As I got older, I met electricians and HVAC guys and asked them questions and learned more. Now I work in a career where I use all of that knowledge.
you will be happy to know I just linked your video to my fb page !!! I dont know if I said it before I wanted to major in fire protection engineering but had trouble taking classess you seem to be doing all the things I would have wanted to accomplish !!!! and you seem like you are good at handling stressful situations I dont think I could do some of the things you do !!! please keep up the videos you do seem to be one of the few people who takes the time to explain how things works many building seem to have systems like this throughout the world but I think few actually understand how they work when you explain it people get greater appreciation of how the system work please keep up the videos !!!
hey nic, was just wondering if your fire alarm system has ever been set off for a real reason such as an actual fire you did not know about until the alarm wet off
I'm good... that's a lot of work and work isn't free nor is the material. People don't want that in their house many don't even have residential devices.
We had multiple power loss lately quickly surges of power. I was at the front of my school when one happened and i could hear the horn on the annunciator. Our school is from the 1970s and it has an old simplex system with mechanical horns. I watched the emergency lights turn off then the panel went into trouble. Probably AC fault or something.
any way did you have any thoughts on my previous comment in case you did not see it I said a fire protection engineer stated he recommended co alarms in addtion to photo elecric alarms the manf does not say to use it that way but that what he suggested in case you are unclear the title of his report was experimental use of co alarmd for detection of smoldering fires any ideas? he suggested co alarm in the same places as photo electric alarms Any ideas ? All I can say is I did find 2 cases where it seemed a co alarm did provide a warning of a smoldering fire !!! ( but I guess the true answer is its one of those things it might work if your lucky ??? So the idea I came up with in my home was put a combined photo electric co alarm which one will alert first in a fire well all I can say is a manf stated that in a combined alarm its an international standard that smoke takes priority over co could co provide an early alarm I don't think we can be 100 % certain it seems it does provide alarm sometimes but certainaly that manf will not say to use it that way but its my thinking it cant hurt to have an extra alarm ?) anyway ideas please thank you!!!
- this is a stupid question that i haven't been able to find an answer to: i have a 60 watt led moving head dj spot light. i am always worried that if it shines light directly at a fire sprinkler head, it might set it off. but if i put my hand in front of the light, the light on my hand is only slightly warm. so there is not really a possibility of it being hot enough to pop a sprinkler, right?
Hi Nick wanted to ask you your opinion on something I found a fire protection engineer he stated based on hi resarcher he suggested co alarms as as addtional fire sensor in a smoldering fire scenario I know the manf will not state to use in such a fashion but I did seem to find 2 cases where Ithe I stated that a was able to provide an alarm during a smoldering fire any thoughts?
I was fortunate to be able to start getting working experience and apprenticeship hours early it's definitely something you can do in high school but is more difficult
It was spread out throughout a couple weeks and later additions done after the fact, as I was doing it around my schedule of working, but if it was all condensed into one timeline probably a week or two
That’s exactly why I want that kind of fire alarm system in my house too. And you should know I did see some smoke rising from the vent when your dog laid on it.

thank you nic for existing and teaching us about fire alarms!
0:51 For someone who's my age, you have lots of experience with electrical. Wish I could be that too!
What’s stopping you?
yeah its never too late to start this field
@@ClearlyDigital My highschool doesn't have it

First! Love your videos nick!❤
Just watched the security video and then get that notification for this video . Great videos nick
Duct deteter of smoke!!!!!
Awesome! Nice to see another test!

and of course I asked people to subcrbe if they like your videos !!!!
very efficient way of preventing the spread of ❌❌❌❌ colored smoke
Lets' go Nic's out with another new video 🤩🤩🔥🔥
Nice vid 😊
That one looks a lot similar to mine. Mine’s a Rockville R720L
Your also to be congratulations as you figured out how to transfer this to you tube!
it feels different without jaxson barking
Oh Ayla. Silly German Shepherd 😂 7:59
Fire alarm fog machine GARAGE
Hi like the video HVAC ducked detector
hey nic, was just wondering if your fire alarm system has ever been set off for a real reason such as an actual fire you did not know about until the alarm wet off
No, there has been smoke from cooking. That is all.
Can i get a demo of your central vac?
Good alarm test
You should install systems for your neighbors. They still have residential smoke alarms right?

I don't have any experience with that so I'm not sure but I'm sure some gases can be released from fires creating carbon monoxide
In the back of the vid it says hi tom I love you what
Tom is my dad grandpa that note was written in the 80s from my grandma.
if you have enough money you can add auto duct doors to prevent smoke moving itself
Do you mean a damper? Not something that's typically done in a long duct run
One thing that I noticed about the display, it said “HAVC DUCT” instead of “HVAC DUCT”
Yep it's fixed
@@nics-systems-electricok cool
My favourite youtuber!
May be it's best if I just put s picture with link in description to orginal video?
Cool! This is something nobody has done yet.
Yes his vids are good
Wow that is amazing
What video editing software do you use
Final Cut Pro X
Cool alarm test
I also wtached the other one of the duct. STill a great video! Keep up the good work!
put a lot. Of smok
Goooooood video
Good. Video ❤❤❤❤😊😅
Gooooooooooood. Video.
Ps this seem to be an advanced concept hink I am going to add it to my Fb page!
Fire alarm fog machine GARAGE
I've got a few videos on that
Great video
I like when the fog went in the vent that was a cool video
Mine turn of intake and max outake and blows it outside
It’s cool that you have a fire alarm system in your house!
Also a suggestion: put fire alarms on the outside of your house
That's not needed because you don't need to evacuate from the outside of the building
@@nics-systems-electric Ok
- this is a stupid question that i haven't been able to find an answer to: i have a 60 watt led moving head dj spot light. i am always worried that if it shines light directly at a fire sprinkler head, it might set it off. but if i put my hand in front of the light, the light on my hand is only slightly warm. so there is not really a possibility of it being hot enough to pop a sprinkler, right?
Depends on the distance if it's within a couple feet probably not good but if it keeps moving around I doubt it would have a problem
@@nics-systems-electric so if the light is on the floor with 9 foot ceilings, it's likely not a problem?
@@wibwabz unless it's getting the sprinkler head over 68° most likely it's not going to be a problem
@@nics-systems-electric cool, thanks!
If I misseD it doesn't the duct alarm shut off the hvac system which should prevent smoke from spread ing ? Does that sound right?
Yup
My favourite youtuber!

Your videos are awesome!!
Glad you like them!
MOM WAKE UP, NEW VID FROM NIC JUST DROPPED🔥🔥🔥💯
I was fortunate to be able to start getting working experience and apprenticeship hours early it's definitely something you can do in high school but is more difficult
@@nics-systems-electric what does the slc isolatior do?
@@Lolzkey When there`s a short in the SLC, it detects it and isolates the sircuit from the panel, so it doesent kill the whole panel.
@@FI-TECH-250 ok thanks
I got Nic's channel linked to Dyno so whenever he posts, I see it quickly :)
Thats smart
your outlet is upside down
Nope
Nice video! Btw, HVAC is spelled HAVC on the system.
Yup
Great functional test of the duct detector!
What is that port in your hallway next to the outlet where the fog machine was plugged in
One of the Vacuum system connections
How long did it take you to install the whole system I watched your video when you installed it
It was spread out throughout a couple weeks and later additions done after the fact, as I was doing it around my schedule of working, but if it was all condensed into one timeline probably a week or two
You must be a pro. I thought way longer.
They were working on our fire alarm sprinklers and didn't bypass the flow sensor so we had a false alarm. Our system is a notifier.
It happens
@@nics-systems-electric can you do a compilation of all the false alarms you have had
@@cyberlight22 i've only ever had one false fire alarm
Whats a spot detector?
A detector mounted in a specific spot in a room or hallway or area
yea great channel
is the heat pump condensor unit on the roof? btw nice video
No, it's beside the house.
@@nics-systems-electricoh
Whats the point oif a duct sensor?
Watch the video I explained it
love
I love this channel
Same, the fire alarm youtuber we need, and we have.
Well thank you I'm glad you enjoyed it
That’s exactly why I want that kind of fire alarm system in my house too. And you should know I did see some smoke rising from the vent when your dog laid on it.
Thanks for the in detail demonstration. When we test DD’s we use a magnet. 🧲
