You are a great mentor. I've been doing my own side work in the evenings and I'm looking to join a company to do this full time. Thanks for all your lessons!
Replaced one of these last year after 23 years. Non heat pump 3.5 ton. It was still working like a champ but the heat exchanger had rusted through. Only thing that ever went bad in all that time was the control board. Very good unit.
@@TaddyDigest it really illustrates how important it is to take the time to really diagnose. The parts changer would have changed the the high limit and moved on to the next house I look forward to seeing your videos
I have a Lennox gas pack and the heat exchange is enclosed and not easy to access for maintenance and inspection like the American Standard you're working on. We are having a hard time working on it. Enjoyed seeing the American Standard.
On a maintenance, if I am checking a gas valve for correct w.c. Of 3.5 (or whatever manufacturer tag specified) and when I go to adjust the w.c. it doesn’t move on my manometer even if I keep tryn to turn adjustment screw ? What should I be looking for to solve why the pressure won’t adjust? I have had this happen to me during maintenance. Would like to see a gas pressure adjustment video
Check the inlet pressure. Make sure that you have more than you're outlet The end if you still adjust the screw and no changes definitely check the regulator close to the meter. And adjust I have a video on how to adjust the regulator
I'm not sure the best place that's a great question. I will think about this more For now do you know exactly what tools you need and don't need? If so definitely check the pawnshops post on a forum for HBAc look for local ads on Facebook. Contact companies if you're willing to do a video to try to get the product for free by doing the video for free on a platform if you have the. Ability to teach.
Hey Taddy I have a question How do you keep an inventory on heating parts. For example roll out switches, pressure switches, limit switches, etc. (Are these parts universal)
I would suggest a Low Level carbon monoxide detector. Standard carbon monoxide detectors don't detect below the UL 2034 standard. US EPA sets maximum outdoor levels 35 ppm (1 hour averaging) and 9 ppm (8 hour averaging) Not to be exceeded more than once per year. World Health Organization limits CO concentrations to 90 ppm (15 minute exposure) to 10 ppm (8 hour exposure). Standard CO detectors follow UL 2034: 30 ppm over 30 days 70 ppm 1 to 4 hours 150 ppm 10 - 50 minutes 400 ppm 4 - 15 minutes If it falls under those levels within the time period the clock starts all over again. This was established to prevent nuisance alarms. CO is an odorless tasteless gas. If a customer says there smelling CO, there most likely smelling aldehyde's, that are present in all fossil fuel combustion. DO NOT IGNORE THE PRESENCE OF ALDEHYDE'S, it is a definite sign of possible CO exposure. A combustion analyzer is a most for any tech working with oil or gas. The `SI-CA 130 ' is endorsed by NCI. One nice feature of that one is that it automatically shuts down when CO goes above 2000 ppm. and this has saved mine several times. The new Low NOx heaters can go well above that on start up. I bought the FP and sent it back, because the sensor seemed dead at low levels, mine would just stay at 8 ppm. Later found out that the they were originally designed not to work below 35 ppm. apparently there was a reason for that. Federal air quality standards can be found at the EPA by googling "NAAQS Table"

Fantastic!

Thx man, you are a great teacher on youtube ! Not skipping any step in the video, showing everything step by step just amazing !
Great job tad installed an amana gas pack in 96 still going thanks for the video
Right on!
Great video. Thank you for sharing
Amazing Explaintion Taddy ☺️
Thank you! 😃
Sharing with my students. We are in heat pump module now. We don’t see many residential package units in the north
Excellent thank you so much
Let me know what specific videos would help your students and I will do videos for you.
Thanks man! They loved the video where you were diagnosing the gas furnace tripping on high limit and then you found the cracked heat exchanger.
That is awesome news so cool
I will be doing a lot more videos like that soon stay tuned.

I look forward to seeing your videos

Good job, sir . Gracias
Thank you Tad
You're welcome brother
Awesome video Tad definitely doing a good job. Great explanation
Glad you think so!

And adjust
I have a video on how to adjust the regulator
appreciate your knowledge and sharing with us🔥
would love to see a video on a heatpump what the pressures should be and how defrost works
I had my truck and tools stolen.and insurance did nothing for me..is there a place to pick up used tools to get me going again?? Pawn shops??
I'm not sure the best place that's a great question.
I will think about this more
For now do you know exactly what tools you need and don't need?
If so definitely check the pawnshops post on a forum for HBAc look for local ads on Facebook.

Good question. I think I have a video on that but I will check and see if not I will do a video.
Thank you, I will look for it on your channel if not I will appreciate it if you do a video of it.

At first glance I thought it was the old York I replaced a heat exchanger for.
i love you.
I love you too
Great video from Cadiz Ky
Thanks 👍
Nice explanation 😊wish they made them to last 😊. The new wire diagram will not last that long 😅
Yeah me too
Wow its deep maintenance,i hope you charge for it))
