Exactly
Your autopilot is always on. It only runs when you don’t need it
I think the first video from hvacr videos was the airflow one.
I do not regret my decision!
Super cool & informative videos
Thanks bud! I will be going live on RUclips this evening 3/7/22 @5:PM (pacific) to discuss recent videos, answer questions from emails and the livechat. Come over and check it out ruclips.net/video/sE9dg71dJbA/видео.html
I really love the title of the video, as this is how exactly a front desk or a customer service staff would place a service call ..
I'm not in the hvacr field but I always enjoy watching these videos
I'll take my -20F winters to never get those 100F summers. Great video as always.
You could have easily edited out the fan blade removal, glad you left that in. We all brain fart stuff sometimes, shows your humility.
I try to show it all... even the mistakes
The way you teach brings a tear to my eye AND it’s all free knowledge. Sorta like that movie the wedding singer where they say” I reap all the benefits “ something like that. Saw about 20 years ago. Thanks for your videos.
I don’t know why I find these so interesting especially since I could never actually do any of this kind of work because I have a really weird phobia of AC units and only some fans..... don’t ask I have no idea why.
normally I can decipher where you are from the trees and skyline .
I am drawing a complete blank on this one !
another great video Chris ! have a great week brother !!
Yay, a bad contactor.... But the big question is, did you go back and tighten that terminal you loosened on the other contactor at 2:55? Assuming you checked all the contactor connections when you were in there and it just wasn't on camera. Fun video as always.
Chris is going to wake up and look at the comments watch the video back and go “ah shit”
He's driving there at full speed right now
The good thing is this video is old...... Any loose connections would have hopefully surfaced by now.
@@inothome *short circuited or arced out by now
😅😁
Thanks again, Chris. I love your work.
3:02 bless you 🤣
Hope you retightened the blue wire on the contactor to the right of the one you changed.
its a self-tightening wire so its fine
Yeah I noticed that too and wondered what I missed & why he was loosening it :)
accidental future Job Assurance :))
probably brain farting from the low oxygen and high temperature.
Was wondering the same!
Mornin Chris,back from my weekly dose of mustiness
Amusing, I’m off to watch Mustie after Chris this time. Crazy old world 👍 🤪
Nice to see the Mess that you cleaned out, Looked a lot better
Good stuff. Funny while watching your videos I’m thinking about my truck stock and am like oh yeah I need more of that from the supply house.
true professionalism and integrity..hard to find these days..keep up the good work Chris. A++++
When they say “The kitchen is too hot! Or the dining room is too hot! You ever feel like saying “ that’s sucks to be you!”
Ha ha yes
@@HVACRVIDEOS Understandable, but if you do, it'll cost you money when the customer goes to the competition...
bunch of cry babies ;) last few kitchens I worked in didn't have A/C, but they did have screen door and a window, not that it did much good in high 90F humid days.
also I'd say to them, try working on the roof, attic or better yet boiler room, blast furnaces etc. lol nothing like 98% humidity, with 150F+ temperature, no air flow and massive amount of radiant heat.
as you step in, you instantly soak your clothes with sweat and can wring them out after 5 minutes, your boots will fill up and you start sloshing around, now add to that fiberglass insulation. some people just have no clue ;)
cant handle the heat, stay outta the kitchen
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I keep a turbo cap on the truck to check if it’s just a weak cap or if the motor is bad too. Might’ve helped the customer’s confidence in you if you were able to tell them 100% bad motor instead of probably bad motor.
Always enjoy the videos!
I paused the video to examine the vitals on your tablet, my first thought was “wow is this thing overcharged?” But then I remembered that the machine probably hasn’t ran for a little bit, then had a pretty high load on the system due to the fact that it was a really hot day and trying to cool down a very hot kitchen.
Been binge watching your video's lately! Nothing else to watch. Also you would be a great lecturer as you explain everything in great detail!
Different stuff, but give Andrew Camatra’s channel a visit if you need stuff to binge
Still very cool here in Jersey when it does get hot here-close to 100 we get oppressive humidity to go along with it-then late pm severe t storms: power failures , trees down etc.. You can work 24/7 if you want. That's super market refrigeration... You make great videos with your explanations, especially for the new guys.I recommend joining RSES-A great organization-you learn more than you need to know that's 4 sure... Peace.
I have followed you for several years now. I have learned a lot from your videos. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. I am a much better refrigeration technician because I have followed your big picture thought process. Thank you very much.
Awesome bud!!
Ooooh yeah, let’s fix stuff!
HVAC stuff should always be essential construction even during a shutdown especially exzost and makeup air
Chris you have great skills !
Thanks for all the tips and all the good stuff . Really really appreciate it
If you asked me if I thought you took pictures of wires, I would have said no way, he can wire anything just by looking at it lol
Take pics, double check, triple check! I changed out a contactor a few weeks ago, and checked my pics and I still had two of the wires backwards, luckily all it did was make a buzzing noise. I quickly realized my mistake and corrected it, and it ran beautifully. Sometimes being too confident bites me in the arse. 🤣
Chris your vids rock! Going to be using your links for tools etc. Starting my HVAC mech classes next week, ARPEC otj apprenticeship in August to go commercial in Miami. Big props again!
Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
I love the videos appreciate you !
What you are doing is Amazimg! Very interesting and informative videos. Thank you From Irvine.
Another great video!
Haven't watched a video in a while. Looks like you're back to brass tacks which is nice.
Could tell this was last year from smoke and the gear you're wearing for the desert southwest
Thanks for showing MQ and setup even though we have seen it it is always good to see something like "whoops forgot to input sysinfo" which happened to me the other day. Seems redundant but I think showing the probes and gauges quickly and quick walk through of MQ can help us to see the issues you're chasing on screen.
You never know when someone is thinking the same issu but not sure what they're looking for when the numbers show various things. Like your low subcooling.
I learn a lot from you my friend..
Good video Chris👍
Looks like a Black Widow spider nest and eggsac, lol. Super obnoxious webs.
Keep up the good work .
Nice job and video like always
enjoy watching
Hello from Australia
Yea you know?? It's amazing how the customers attitude changes when the unit stops working then it's a 911 emergency.. you can requests P.M.& weak parts replacement but they declined... but when it stops?? Oh hell yea fix an do what you want just get it going right away ..
A simple cheep PM an in the end?? It cost them a new compressor .. an I can not feel sorry for their stupidity .. I understand money don't grow on trees but when we're talking a weak cap? An they refuse to spend a few bucks?0.0? I would much rather change out a 2 minutes cap than hours for a compressor. But Thanks for another great video!!.
if capacitor is bad on a fan motor, they usually either creep real slowly or vibrate and will have resistance to being turned with power on (if not overheated and thermal overload open).
I know you'll never be able to hear or feel the humming when cold and locked up due to other vibration
I was a little worried, I though Cali was on fire again and I missed it.
I need that hat you got on!! I got enough freckles on my head already lmao or is that a cape!! Great work as always man!
Check out my website HVACRVIDEOS.COM the hats are available there
Question answered please. Hi and thanks. My question is about the measurequick setting. My understanding is This was a 10 ton unit, not a Trane so (2) 5 ton circuits. I have been setting my measurequick to 5 ton when measuring one circuit at a time. Am I messing up doing this? Thanks for helping me with this.
I said bless you too when you sneezed lmao
So did I. 😂😂😂
2:53 he is not working on the good contactor 😅🤟🏻 oups
Nice video
Ecstacy is what you get with 24 V as well.
Damn the heating section doesn't look like its been used in ages. Definitely wont see that here in the NE. We use heat for 6 months of the year.
often old folks use the heat 9 months of the year in the North East ( northeastern, Ohio here). some of the old-fogies they like their house at 74F year round lol
your job must be like working with the 3 bears.. the dining room is tooo hot, the return air is tooo cold.. at least when you're done it's just right
Hi chris today was my first day working as a service tech! Thanks for giving me inspiration as well, and my question is when replacing a contactor how come you dont like replacing wire for wire? Such as disconnecting a wire then connecting it to a new contactor
i always upgrade the compressor contactors to 3 pole. its worth it.
Great video
How did you watch it so quickly?!
@@brocktorning1890 He hacks
one of those fans has a high resistance short to ground- change them both, caps too, and blades
its 84 degrees in Modesto California high 88 today tomorrow is 88 degrees tomorrow
At 2:58 it appears you started unscrewing a terminal on the wrong contactor?
Yeah I caught that too. He loosened in input screw on the second stage contactor
How do you remember all the nuances of their system like to capacitor and stuff. When it was so long ago?
While editing the video I had to watch it 3 times and it jogged my memory
@@HVACRVIDEOS wow! Thank you for the hard work on the YT content.
With temperatures being above 100* your brain might start to shut down that’s why I even do extra work that may not be needed. Just like pulling the fan blade for no reason.
meticulous, does it ring a bell !!!!!!!, Good enough for this neighborhood?
Gods, I hate tape on electrical wire. I don't like zip ties much either. I use plastic coated 'garden wire' ties. (bread ties, basically). Either that, or I use velcro strapping. I've had to take too many wire bundles apart to like 'permanent' things like zip ties.
Are 2 pole contactors on a 3 phase system a corner gound special?
"The Dining Room Is Too Hot." Or, as I like to call it, the Last Two Weeks Of Customer And Employee Complaints. The digital clock with thermometer has been taken off the wall so I can no longer take photos of it being over 90F (50s-60s outdoors); a new analog clock (with Roman numerals) has been installed in its place, and 3/4 of my coworkers can't read an analog clock. My penance for complaining about insufferable temperatures is that I now have to translate what the clock says for everyone that can't tell time.
On hotter days, we've taken to opening up the roof hatch, which is helpful but only when standing directly beneath the ladder (oh, the top part of the ladder is coming loose from the wall, who would've guessed that sheet rock screws wouldn't hold an aluminum ladder to aluminum framing?). Wednesday night I ventured up onto the roof to find our dual-zone system is ONE York RTU. We've been told ONE of the units doesn't work, but the other one does - but again, there's only one, I guess the HVAC "tech" is calling the Hoshizaki ice machine equipment our 2nd RTU?
I stepped over to it, both condenser fan motors were off and spun freely by hand, the whole unit was "dead" - not a sound coming from it at all. I considered poking my nose under the covers to look around, but decided it was above my pay grade and walked away. Let me tell you, it was REALLY tempting to look inside and see if there were any hack jobs done to it. I thought they had fixed the squealing indoor blower, but in all actuality, the indoor blower is OFF and the only air circulation we have is from the exhaust fans and the negative pressure sucking in air through the front door. The doors are near-impossible to open and the air blowing through it is so loud that you have to shout to speak to anyone in the vestibule. We still can't get the wall-mounted temperature sensors to read anywhere near accurate (usually off by 20 degrees, or 25 degrees depending on which two resistance values the Honeywell stat offers as options).
All of this crap is not that big a deal though anymore, I've applied for a job elsewhere and will be leaving as soon as I get a start date. And believe me when I tell you, the issues with the HVAC system aren't even the major reasons for leaving.
Nice hat
always remove the contactor, slip in the new one behind it- then swap the wires one by one, so you cant screw up
I agree especially with split three phase 👍 A ounce of preventions worth a pound 0f cure !!
Something is AWAYS too damn hot! Time to move to one of the poles!
another easy one for you Chris lol
Odd question, when you look at some of these HVAC's electrical, do you ever just think it looks like a rats nest that drives your OCD or is that just me?
It's just how they are. They are thrown together in the factory with time in mind over asthetics. They are commercial equipment after all. You should see some of the control panels I've seen lol.
@@ollylewin I was about to say the same, multiply the wiring in there by a couple hundred+, then add in half the labeling fell off and fasteners/ties removed.
massive bowl of spaghetti! that's where some of us make money though, especially after ten other idiots have been there and made it far worse. skill and technique, much easier now days with being able to take digital photo's. use at least two devices, keep them charged and store the stuff in two places on them and the cloud!
yeah, I hate losing data and a rather nerdy PC fella from when it was actually hard to do anything with computing devices and more. silly blue ink mimeographs school work anyone? chalk, erasers and chalkboards? asbestos pipe insulation on all the exposed steam heating pipes? I could go on and on, but I'll just stop here lol
Been looking at a few of your vids. Why do these American systems have separate gas heating in them instead of just reverse cycle like everywhere else in the world?
Hey good day can you use r22 in a r410 system??
You really need to get away from using wires nuts, check out these new wire nuts they are called WAGO WIRE NUTS...THESE ARE THE BOMB...
8:05 I can hear it whine, the motor has at least 1 bad winding.
Why do they put 2 pole contactors in a coworker of mine believes the hot leg going to the compressor 24/7 acts as a crank case heater. That doesn't really make sense to me I think its because its a cheaper way of doing the same thing. Thoughts?

Great vid. Are things in Cali getting back to normal? Went to shit here in Toronto. 😕
Ehh we are very slowly opening up, but I did here about you guys up north.... its getting pretty bad up there.....
This must of been recorded a while ago if your taking about smoke?
Yep, at the end you said summer 2020.
Also dang that's it's getting warm there already. It's beautiful here in Iowa. ~60°F right now.
and my ac at home is a 1994 Payne air conditioner
On a pm found a fan motor that was running backwards checked the capacitor rated for 10 and was reading 15 muf never seen something like that before.
Intetesting
@@HVACRVIDEOS yes pretty odd
it could have been the meter you used, some of them are grossly effected by NOT removing all wiring from the capacitors. often more so if the "red" test lead is connected to the side with wire still attached.
it can end up reading the capacitive reactance of the wiring, other motors, through the capacitor body to the cabinet of unit and more.
it gets highly critical on small values in electronics, just touching and holding or being near the lead wires can majorly skew results when in the low picofarad. yeah it's far less critical once you hit things measure in microfarad, but still best to always fully isolate the cap.
@@throttlebottle5906 that's a great explanation, but that's also what I did I completely removed the capacitor and used a flathead screwdriver to release the charge Not the proper way to do it sure, but regardless it was still reading 15 muf
Here's a paradox that I present to you, sir: This unit was last maintained BEFORE it was ever designed, much less manufactured! how could that be?
I would like to know what’s the app that you use to measure low-high pressures, and what kind of device or gauge you is that wireless

How do you apply online
Do these Carriers build like a crap? Always ends up rusting up.....
You mentioned the economizer is bad, why not fix it? Is it not that big of a deal?
The customer doesn't want to fix them....
@@HVACRVIDEOS I see. Will the unit eventually have a bigger problem as a result? From my understanding an economizer uses outside air mixed with the return air for free cooling, so I'm guessing it's not a major component but I'm just starting out so I may be wrong
Remove a window.......
My job is just as bad as his but he has palm trees in the back ground
Hey but you saved a trip to the van for the sandpaper you didn't end up needing for a motor and prop you ended up replacing. Lol word salad.
Do you ever bring the customer on the roof to visually show them what your doing and what's going on?
Managers don't really care or have ability to authorize work. Most are corporate owned and need approval from higher up.
They just want to pay you to take care of it not sweat their ass off ona hot roof not knowing wtf they're looking at.
It probably happens but I wouldn't see a point unless they have a maintenance person in employ that happens to be there
Some customers get a good laugh out of an obvious fail
@@etherealrose2139 they often don't understand anything mechanically beyond blowing their nose and micro-managing their employees, both of which they often can hardly accomplish. but by god they likely went to college and have some degree! not worth wiping their bum-bum's with in real life :))
shots fired, but I deal with it all the time.
If the unit is not running efficiently it become a financial economy issue. Poor performing unit might cost $100 extra per month in utility cost. Replacing plenum or duct work might cost $2000 or more. Restaurant figures they can run the unit for 20 months or more before it actually starts "costing" them. Or, you can look at it as ROI (Return On Investment).
Did you just reach in there and spin that condenser fan motor with your hand..? With the line disconnect closed?
Big picture diagnosis...= hospital visit!!!!!!
#614 Thumbs uP
Are you having wild fires again
so you went and got a contactor, but didnt check your supply of wire knowing you have to repair it
Why must everything you work on be gas units do they even need gas down there? No wonder cali an los has so much smug
Gas is efficient and cheap. In California, especially so, compared to electric. It's not needed often and they already have tons of gas being piped in for the cooking anyways, adding a small line to the roof is a no brainer during construction.
@@etherealrose2139 Excellent points. Also, if all the RTUs had electric heat and Cali had a cold snap, they'd suffer similar to the way Texas suffered - Cali's power grid isn't exactly known for its reliability (PG&E, I'm calling you out) and massive demand like that would certainly cause issues!
Natural gas is probably the cleanest-burning and most-efficient fossil fuel at our disposal right now.
As far as SMOG goes, that's a perfect-storm result of massive amounts of traffic, weather patterns, and topography.
When it comes to their SMUG problem, well, that's a whole other story for another forum. lol
I don't understand why you don't start with the basics???
Filters
Belts
Dirty condenser/ evap coils
and proceed from there. That all needs to be logged or it will bite you in the ass.
Details, Details...
Restaurants are notorious for poor maintenance of HVAC equip.
For the New Techs that is important, you don't come to Any conclusions until everything is as clean as possible or you may have a bad diagnosis costing someone $$$.
You should be wearing a mask for the smoke...
