Fantastic Job Steve. That was a mess but you triumphant through it...I can't get enough of Techs who know their hvacr equipment and know what its supposed to be doing. Thank you for sharing... My name is Cesar btw Greetings

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks, Cesar! I appreciate you and the kind words.

[@CoastAir-HVAC-R]

I've been in the trade going on 35 years. Worked for a company and did the Super Walmarts with those Aaon's. Many times went behind some chop shop jobs lol. Surely not for the Novice, we never had internet back then lol and your videos are really good. Keep up the good work young man and be safe!

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks, Hcast! I remember no internet, pagers, and CB radios. It's amazing the knowledge we have at our fingertips now.

[@terrytugwood7848]

First class demonstration of trouble shooting skills , you’re a wizard to get that working. 👍👍

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks Terry!

[@georgebrabec1749]

Did a lot rtu change out at Sam's and Walmart's removed Aaon and installed Lennox. They all had that Novar control system originally. Swapped over to Walton's Honeywell controls adapted in for the HVAC, lighting and refrigeration. I do enjoy your videos, no screaming and great information.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks George! This is a similar, old chain store but the new tenants are trying not to spend money. All replacements are basic package units, no more controls are being used. A lot have been replaced, this upstairs office was just occupied and no one thought about it until they were there, then of course "we need this to work now"... lol

[@brianmckenna8495]

Canadian retired hvac guy here ! Love your videos my friend. I spent a year installing the old novar systems in retail stores 25 years ago Lol ! Lighting and hvac, seeing this video brought me back to those days ! Keep up the great work sir 👍👍

Thanks TRUTH SEEKER! I appreciate you watching.

[@rohnkd4hct260]

Never worked on HVAC units but, I have many years with intercom/fire alarm/CCTV-MATV systems. Have seen the same "hack jobs" there as well. Many were done by "Very fine Dealers" or "extremely Good Technicians." Used to have to follow one of those "technicians" cleaning up his work, take the panel off and tell you he had been there.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Yessir, it happens everywhere. Thanks Rohn!

[@jonnymac31]

Hell yeah man. It lives.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Hell yeah, Thanks John!

[@RJMaker]

Nice work!

[@Brendan_Clancy]

Aaon got the best schematics out there.

[@EverythingHVACR]

They are nice when you can read them 25 + years later, Thanks for watching!

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

Well done Steve. What a pain in the ass that was. That little ah-ha laugh.......yeah i know that laugh.....its a "f**k you....i got you going....thanks to some hacks".

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks Jason 😆 everyone that's worked on some random crap hack job has felt that feeling! I win 💪

[@nickcampbell8096]

What a mess, on the bright side all the wasp nests were dead. Nothing like trouble shooting a hack job with the added mix of fighting off wasp.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Yeah they don't like the cold lol. Thanks Nick!

[@publicmail2]

How many hrs and how much was charged and this previous hack job.

[@EverythingHVACR]

I wish I knew AD, customer finally wised up and realized cheap labor ain't skilled and skilled labor ain't cheap

[@CameronKettner]

The tag on the side said "AC-17 July 2003" so probably 18 and a half years old

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks Cameron! I did not see that, I actually think they are around 25 years old, not sure what that date is but good eye.

[@tronixfix]

Would rip everything out and rewire it for $500

[@EverythingHVACR]

😆 I want to see that! Thanks TroniX.

[@GlenS123]

Hack-O-Rama! What a mess! Worked on many of those vintage, inducer motors were OEM only, get out your wallet!

[@EverythingHVACR]

Thanks Glen!

[@drodriguez394]
