100% agree on callbacks. Our company motto is “Don’t let things break”. It’s helped take us from 1 office to 7 in 20 years and it completely reduces the after hours calls.
Pinched nerve, been there done that you're right absolutely the worst pain/discomfort and it's amazing how the smallest movement will trigger it...feel your pain, hope it resolves soon Chris.
I have a herniated disc that puts pressure on a nerve down my left leg. Makes the side of my thigh hurt and my left foot goes numb sometimes. It used to be in the side of my calf and I couldn't bare to stand for more than 10 minutes. Physical therapy helped a lot in my case.
Thanks Chris about not gauging up equalize system .Chris hope you feel better my friend be careful with the painkillers ! You look OK with them I'm in recovery sober and clean 13years. For me I can't take anything! Knee surgery month ago. Ibuprofen getting through it. I use to laugh at the coke nose you mentioned because It wasn't real! Be well trade is tough on the body 53 still out in the field.
I had exactly what you're having about 10 years ago. I now have a titanium plate and bone graft in my neck fusing 2 bad cervical vertebrae. I was back to work in 2 weeks. Hope your pinched nerve is only that and nothing more extensive. Sucks when you have a physical job and have to go through your day in pain just to function. I hate going to the doctor and put off doing so until I was in such pain I couldn't sleep or function. You should get an MRI and check out what's going on in there. So easy to not do 'due diligence' when it's your own body. (and yet I still don't often take my own advice) Hope you feel better.
I carry 3 different colors of paint markers and I have a label maker. I label absolutely everything I work on, from: filters (date of PM), date of repair/install, what exactly was done, ect. It not only helps the next guy, but it brings back the memory of when I worked on it last, when I happen to come up on something I have worked on before. It's a good practice, especially when you are doing electrical work; but sadly you rarely see field techs doing this....I'm not sure why.
I would always spray a light coat or two of clear coat after I wrote on any piece of equipment. Most times it would allow the writing or label to last a few years longer, at least in the South TX sun. It's another thing to carry in your bag but helps quite a bit.
Thanks for putting these videos out, the new guys have it a lot easier today with you tube and today’s technology! I watch everyone of them I can and they have helped me so much and it’s pushing me to even be a better technician. So thanks again for the knowledge you are extending to all of us out here and I will pray for the nerves that are bothering you today
I got a pinched nerve in my ulnar nerve that doctors say isn't a pinched nerve, but I sure as hell know what my body is telling me. Really does suck, and it's been a constant nuisance for over 2 years.
ive been watching for a little bit now. i'm not a hvac professional but i do enjoy your videos. its clear youre very knowledgable and dedicated to your craft. as a general viewer of your videos i still dont know a few things. eg. what is the sight glass? how does it work? what are you looking for? you mentioned it was "fashing" but i have no idea what that means and i didnt notice a difference when you refilled the gas. what gas are you putting in? what should the high and low pressure be during various points in the operation of the equipment and why? what is high and low? a lot of times you show an app on your tablet and mention super high and numbers. these things are probably obvious to you but things i still dont know after watching all your videos.
Y'all feel free to correct me if I'm wrong... But let me see if I can clear a few of your questions up. (Not an HVAC tech, by the way...) The sight glass is literally a piece installed in the refrigerant lines where you can see the refrigerant passing through the lines (in its liquid phase) at that point through a glass window. If the sight glass is "flashing," that means there are visible air bubbles passing through the liquid, indicating the system is low on refrigerant charge. It's hard to see on camera sometimes, but in this video I actually could see the bubbles passing through that Chris was talking about at timestamp 0:44 for a split second. It's blurry due to the camera not finding a point to autofocus on quickly enough in this example. The high and low pressure ratings differ based on the refrigerant used. Thus, the ideal pressures vary. Deviations from the ideal pressures help lead to proper diagnosis. If you look closely at most of the systems Chris shows us in his videos, most of them have the refrigerant type handwritten somewhere (R-22, R-404A, etc.); this is the "gas" he used.
Tricks of the Trade -- if the Tstat is bad (no continuity at room temp), the condenser fan will not run, but the evaporator fan does -- use an extension cord hooked to the compressor & wall outlet to verify compressor & fan work. You can also install a jumper between the run & start windings to simulate a start relay -- after applying voltage, pull the jumper.
Hi Chris I just wanted to say how I appreciate your videos. I'm not in HVAC but I love learning about new things. I enjoy you through inspections and how you explain everything you do. Great job👍
Hope you get better soon, best to see someone who does Holistic therapy, they can find the nerve and put it back in place. It's mostly ligaments which get pulled. Had a problem in arms due to lifting equipment and got sorted within days. Good luck Chris. 👍
Currently have the same I got some pain but the discomfort is crazy... Nice find some of those coils the txv is pinched in there there a pain to remove... Did a txv swap on a table top type unit....
I would probably try to get a good adjustment from a chiropractor. Crazy to think how much is connected to your spine that can affect your arms and legs. With all the twisting, turning, lifting, ect... We can misalign our body easily. Take care of yourself and thank you for the educational videos you made. I’m still pretty new to the trade and commercial side of it even more, but I learn a lot from you. So thank you very much.
Hey Chris, I have been suffering from the same thing in my neck for years. Some things that helped me are heating pad and lots of H2O. Also I used chiropractor, message etc. I found a PT place that does "Dry needling" it works to relax the muscles. Good luck buddy.
Hey Chris, I am dealing with the same thing, that wont let me extend my pinky and ring fingers of my left hand. I am getting a nerve conductivity test and MRI next week Good luck, and I hope the best for both of us.
They don't work. I had three on my elbow and all three were different results. If you have a *REALLY* bad pinched nerve like almost no function at all then yea they will detect it. But if it's been awhile since you injured it, or you aren't in serious pain at the time of the test like you are 90% of the rest of the day they won't see anything. Hell one test said I had a pinched nerve in my other arm even though it's had no problems at all. Demand they do more tests, decline physiotherapy and if they won't budge, demand a second opinion. That's the only way you will get it resolved, if you let them do what they want to do you'll just be paying a monthly fee on physiotherapy/pain relievers.
Try the uv resistant paint pens! So funny story,had a guy who came up with a way to save the marking we put on units, that was to feed out clear uv label tape and put it over the markings,the boss was like,why not just print a F----g label and put it on.And we are all paid the same $$!
I had the same pinched nerve and physical therapy got me out of it for years now, no surgery! Also you should approach your company insurance Co., about providing free or subsidized physical therapy for your employees, our insurance Co., gives us a break because physical therapy is much cheaper than surgery.
Thank you for all your videos! Like you say on the other videos, we are supporting you financially in a way. But in a way, you are also supporting me financially. Your videos give me confidence and knowledge when I go out in the field. I always do the big picture diagnostics, I find my work and my office gives me more hours in return I appreciate all your effort in making this trade better Thank you Patrick from Toronto, Canada
Thanks so much for the nice words bud! I will be going live on RUclips this evening 2/15/21 @ 5:PM (pacific time) to discuss my recent videos and answer questions live come check it out ruclips.net/video/5cXSUw3Fgqc/видео.html
Good luck with the pinched nerve. A proper orthopedic specialist (be extremely wary of chiropractors, they are NOT proper doctors) and physical therapy works wonders. I had a herniated disc 1.5 years ago, had to have emergency surgery followed by carefully managed recovery and it's been fine since. I know how you feel man.
Hey Chris...I feel your pain. Its all about the ergonomics of how you do things...like carrying your tools on one shoulder and crouching for long periods of time. I used to work at a rehabilitation hospital, they were always concerned about musculoskeletal disorders..
Go straight to the flare nuts usually the biggest source of leaks! Great job! I wouldn't have used the soap bubbles on that application though ! Too messy!
Chris try buying a circuit finder you simply attach it to wherever there is power and it beeps on the right breaker it's a lifesaver and removes the silly frustration from messy unlabeled panels
Chris, you mentioned you used paint markers to mark equipment because it will last longer (I hate when people use Sharpie as it lasts about 2 months) I keep a carpenters pencil in my pocket, I found pencil lasts for years in the sun. I'm in Colorado where the sun shines over 300 days a year, I have seen my pencil writing on equipment 5+ years after writing on it.
How about PaintStik? The "welder's crayon?" I've seen that stuff last over 30 years (as a stupid child, I wrote all over a 1953 Army trailer that used to be my father's, most of the writing is still visible).
I've have had 2 pinched nerves . One was between the back ribs below shoulder blade which caused immense pain every time I breathed out . I had to get driven home and was hunched over for a few days . Just last year my lower back . That was like a knife . for 3 weeks I couldnt work unaided , with 2 walking sticks and that a step at a time to get from bed to chair . I had to get doctor out to get Panadeine forte , then I could get to a Physio . Use those heat up wheat bags but you will need Physio
Go see a chiropractor for the numbness and pain. Docs won't adjust the spine and relieve stress on nerves - they'll medicate and cut you open. Listen to someone with experience in this. In your field, a regular chiropractor visit can do wonders. I work in a dealership as a technician and I'll tell you - it does wonders
Hi ! thanks for the video ! I hope you're feeling better. Those pinches are painful as hell! I noticed that the TVX bulb is not insulated from the air flow of the evaporator fans. Doesn't it affect the superheat stability ? I once was scratching my head trying to figure out why my TXV was opening to full throttle then closing again in an endless cycle. It was a walk in cooler I just installed. My sight glass was flashing too as the TXV opened wide and the superheat was all over the shop. Everything came back to normal when I installed a piece of insulation tubing on the bulb.
Was that condenser fan on the compressor below the one you were working on down or is one of them on a delay. Saw the left one spinning but not the right one
Air in the system is the worst. To prevent this, many times I will precharge my gauges to prevent air entering a unit. The other alternative is to shut down the system let the low side build up a bit of pressire if it has gas, then hookup the low side and purge my gauges so as to prevent loosing a minimal amount of gas, not liquid. If you dont shut down the machine and its in a vacuum on the low side, you just sucked air into the system and need to replace the charge now. Thats one reason I precharge my gauges b4 hooking them up.
Ya, I was assuming that since he confirmed he had a leak, gas must be lower than install- so I guess he just charges (within reason) up to a clear sight glass and the right readings?
If you have a pinched nerve, go see your Chiro. I've had a nagging back for a while and my chiro has fixed it in a matter of a few weeks. Hope this helps
chris my hat of to you brother all that work and refrigerant,for a warranty job,freebie.you are making us look good.always have a helper,you will last longer at this.
Have you consulted with a Chiropractor? The pinched nerve might be caused by a joint that's out of it's proper position and/or bad posture. I had several tendons that make up the rotator cuff of my shoulder become inflamed (4 tendons per cuff, 2 in my right cuff and 1 in the left - both arms now have permanent restricted motion - MASSIVE PITA) due to my admittedly horrible posture and that might be an aggravating factor (and/or the root cause) of your pinched nerve... Good luck and I hope you have speedy recovery...
Gees I got a pinched nerve as well ... But I always say no matter how bad you got it there are people worse off than me ... Good vid ... And get well ...
Medication for a pinched nerve should be a trip to the chiropractor, any pain killer or what ever will only mask the symptom for it to go away untill next time A good chiropractor can get to the root corse, like you always say to do
I am surprised that can use detector around high moisture. The ones I use to have moisture could set it off . Good video. Use to hate nasty beer coolers.
Had a pinched nerve like that. I recall cracking my neck one day while on the inversion table and then trying one extra crack. It lasted nearly a year. I hope yours does not! Ask your doctor if Meloxicam would work.
Tylenol, Amytriptyline, Gabapentin, I buoprofen. been their done that. $6 years of lugging pipe and tool belts on my shoulders . I am paying the price now
We use a red paint stick to mark our equipment. Sun will fade out the red which it turns white but you can read it. I seen it last more than ten years.
No im not a fan of leak stop....., I will discuss this on my livestream this evening 2/15/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) on RUclips come check it out ruclips.net/video/5cXSUw3Fgqc/видео.html
I know how the pinched nerve problem all to well. Wait until you have it happen just in the right place and the pain takes you to your knees. Ive had that happen several times
Bane of my life, large complexes with hundreds of units scattered around on the roof and lazy installers not bothering to label outdoor units they install...
"The important thing is to get a steady stream." I say that every morning! LOL
🤣🤣🤣
100% agree on callbacks. Our company motto is “Don’t let things break”. It’s helped take us from 1 office to 7 in 20 years and it completely reduces the after hours calls.
I would suggest a Cervical MRI could be a herniated disc.

Thanks for posting the video despite the pain you are in right now. Hope you get better real soon!
Thanks for the videos. I'm going to school for HVACR and these keep me a step ahead!
I would always spray a light coat or two of clear coat after I wrote on any piece of equipment. Most times it would allow the writing or label to last a few years longer, at least in the South TX sun.

I have the exact same pinched nerve. Same arm, too. It really does suck. So debilitating.

I had a pinched nerve for months... my hand would go numb randomly. It went away eventually.. but I feel ya dude.
I must say: having chapters to the video makes finding stuff so much easier.
Your dedication to the game won't go unnoticed. Hope you can recover
Great video Chris. Get well soon.
Nice video, get well soon.

I hope you wil get well soon mate
Wouldn't be a Sunday without a video from Chris.
Ain’t that the truth
Chris try buying a circuit finder you simply attach it to wherever there is power and it beeps on the right breaker it's a lifesaver and removes the silly frustration from messy unlabeled panels
I have never had any luck with circuit finders in three phase panels....
Are you not worried about the moisture in your manifold itself? I open the charging port on my guages and purge out of the vacuum port.
Chris, you mentioned you used paint markers to mark equipment because it will last longer (I hate when people use Sharpie as it lasts about 2 months) I keep a carpenters pencil in my pocket, I found pencil lasts for years in the sun.

Breaker panels are a nightmare in cstores, I feel your pain ..... Glad my teches nor myself have to deal with the refrigerator racks you have work on.
Was that condenser fan on the compressor below the one you were working on down or is one of them on a delay. Saw the left one spinning but not the right one

Don't remember if I asked before but , when you say the sight glass is flashing what does that mean exactly?
Hello, great vids, love from australia
Nice easy fix, keep up the good work! Good luck with that pinched nerve, there's nothing worse.
Thanks bud
amatureish question, you weighed your cylinder before you went up, but how did you figure out how much to add? thanks!
Ya, I was assuming that since he confirmed he had a leak, gas must be lower than install- so I guess he just charges (within reason) up to a clear sight glass and the right readings?
Good job bro keep the great vids coming I'll always be watching yah deal with the crazy world of all the hvac feild
Ouch! Hope you feel better soon ! Can TENS work on such a nerve problem to bring some relief?
If you have a pinched nerve, go see your Chiro. I've had a nagging back for a while and my chiro has fixed it in a matter of a few weeks. Hope this helps
chris my hat of to you brother all that work and refrigerant,for a warranty job,freebie.you are making us look good.always have a helper,you will last longer at this.
Sunday mornings. beeakfast, refrigeration and pinched nerves. Well three out of the four are good.
Get well soon.
Have you consulted with a Chiropractor?
The pinched nerve might be caused by a joint that's out of it's proper position and/or bad posture.
I had several tendons that make up the rotator cuff of my shoulder become inflamed (4 tendons per cuff, 2 in my right cuff and 1 in the left - both arms now have permanent restricted motion - MASSIVE PITA) due to my admittedly horrible posture and that might be an aggravating factor (and/or the root cause) of your pinched nerve...
Good luck and I hope you have speedy recovery...
I absolutely love all of your vids
I think it is VERY important to use a torque wrench when tightening up flares and to follow the specifications stamped on the parts being installed.
Gees I got a pinched nerve as well ... But I always say no matter how bad you got it there are people worse off than me ... Good vid ... And get well ...
Great Tips 👍
I saw your man who fixes boilers spraying that stuff like mad. I thought that's wrong, especially as I've never used it
Hope you get better soon Chris hate seeing you in pain hopefully the medication help?
Take care of that and rest bud, i also suffer from those and more when i play "human compressor hoist" i have been a lot wiser for the last few years.
Medication for a pinched nerve should be a trip to the chiropractor, any pain killer or what ever will only mask the symptom for it to go away untill next time
A good chiropractor can get to the root corse, like you always say to do
I am surprised that can use detector around high moisture. The ones I use to have moisture could set it off . Good video. Use to hate nasty beer coolers.
Nice video
Get better love your vids much love form hungary
Had a pinched nerve like that. I recall cracking my neck one day while on the inversion table and then trying one extra crack. It lasted nearly a year. I hope yours does not! Ask your doctor if Meloxicam would work.
whoa those things are terrible throw that piece of junk out you're lucky you didn't become a quadriplegic man
Great vid, hope you get more healthy.
Tylenol, Amytriptyline, Gabapentin, I buoprofen. been their done that. $6 years of lugging pipe and tool belts on my shoulders . I am paying the price now
We use a red paint stick to mark our equipment. Sun will fade out the red which it turns white but you can read it. I seen it last more than ten years.
You have my sympathy, I suffer from time to time with a condition called "wry neck" which causes my neck and shoulder muscles to go into spasm.
Understand the pain & feel for you.
Kline circuit tracer works great on commercial applications
But you might have to get the alligator leads separate
I will discuss this on my livestream this evening 2/15/21 @ 5:PM (pacific) on RUclips come check it out ruclips.net/video/5cXSUw3Fgqc/видео.html
