So my condenser calls for cooling in when set to heat and vis versa

[@jollyscaria1922]

Thankyou my best breathar all teom welcomed sight ex area welcome all proesgers and procvation es mind drevpelpment life pregres thankyou gues

[@daubendiek]

Nice video. One thing not covered is the problem I am having. My heat strips (Goodman) are always powered on, even with cooling selected so the A/C is kicking out warm air. I know the heat pump has a board that can turn on the heat strips for defrosting I believe it said. But if that isn't the problem what else could it be? it was working fine until the main breaker for the house failed, after that the heat is always on

[@stevegeorge3903]

It's how he says over??

[@mikemason9966]

I am a retired Mechanical Engineer with HVAC certifications with a strong electrical background and I worked in training as well. I only say that to make this comment. "This is the best presentation of the HVAC electric heating explanation I have ever seen". Thank you for taking the time to put together such an informative and crystal clear presentation. 2 Thumbs up !!

[@traviscozza7177]

I could swear I just read this exact same comment you made on another video...🤔

[@goodkao]

I’m a seven year hvac experience technician with residential and commercial equipment and I love this video. Thanks for making hvac videos.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@Markmk393]

This is one of the most informational and easy videos to follow. I’ve been a service tech for 2 years and I still go back and watch videos to keep me refreshed. This video is hands down one of the best. I’m located in south Florida and we had a some cold weather this past winter, and this video alone helped me diagnose a bunch of heating calls. We don’t really get them down here so I’m not always practicing checking heaters

[@acservicetechchannel]

That really is so awesome, thanks a lot!!!

[@fatbol526]

At the age lf 36 I have been in the field for 16 years now, and you by far are one of the greatest instructors that I have come across, I love you channel what you do is top tier

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you so much!!!

[@artolivares7573]

Honestly who gives this man a thumbs down.? This a great explanation. I’ve been in the HVAC industry for over 20 years and always learn something new every time I watch his videos .

[@Keeping-It-Real-55]

Should definitely be working as an instructor at an HVAC school. Ide get into the trade if he was my Boss. lol

I agree 100% with you Art. I had a shitload of questions about how a 10kw heat strip was wired and how they operate in general. This guy doing the video was all about educating the novice technician as well as the very experienced tech. Made everything clear and answered all of my questions. Very good information presented at a professional level. No need for other videos...my man has it ALL COVERED. Peace to ya brother.

[@luisorantes863]

Thanks big time I am doing my apprentice on the field while I am going to the school at night Combining that with your videos everything is going well I really appreciate the time and effort that you put in the videos One more time thanks

Glad to help Luis!

He is an HVAC God! I'm almost 4 years in. 2 years service. I have learned so much from AC service tech!

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you for watching! I'm glad my channel has been such an educational resource to you!!

[@juancarlos-mj6kq]

I am six months in my HVAC school and we were just doing this wiring last night and it is SO confusing. You make this look so easy. Jeez I wish I had you as my teacher 😅 you’re so good at what you do. Great video.

[@pilotrserra]

Thank god for people like HVAC SCHOOL. God is balancing corporate greedy with great KZbin teachers…thank you so much

[@acservicetechchannel]

Yes Bryan and his team do a great job for our industry!!

[@Alex-qz5zn]

Thank you for breaking it down, as a newer technician. This really helped with trouble shooting the electrical heating strip

[@wonjonglee7854]

this was the most informative and the most helpful out of all the videos i've seen. a sign of true intelligence is when you can break down complicated subjects into simple concepts that are easy to understand. thanks so much!

[@metsrus]

this guy literally wrote the book on AC

[@Azzen234]

wow, i am a 3 year tech, and in the 3 years of residential service, ive only ran into 3 electric furnaces/heat pumps and i have no idea how they worked, luckily those calls were easy, this video basically did the job for me, its as simple as 1-2-3 haha

[@doorguru168888]

I was looking at the schematic for my all-in-one trailer unit the other day and I was confused why the blower motor went to the common. Your video explained everything clearly. Thank you very much!

[@thompsonorcino1122]

Just fixed my heater issue, thanks to your video. Thank you so much

[@michaelgordon898]

Top tier video!! So clear and informative. I could listen all day. Keep up the good work!!🤙🏾

[@broncheemims8493]

Thanks Craig for the info. I'm teaching electric heat right now this semester in college.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thats awesome Bronchee! Have you checked out my AC book yet? We have teachers using this in schools now, thanks! If you need info, email me at [e-mail] thanks!

I believe this is the best explanation I’ve seen on KZbin, thanks a lot.

Best explanation on earth👍

[@acrepairnearme]

Wow awesome! I’ve just replaced that fan control board on a heat pump package unit. Seems like it’s a. Common part. Interesting I didn’t know about letters F and L on the limits. Almost don’t see the electric heaters here in south California. Now after watching this video its clear to me! Thank you Craig. You are the best!

[@acservicetechchannel]

I am glad to help and thanks for your support!

[@dashiagamingchannel2588]

Thank alot many tech or maintenance guy don't understand this procedure I hope this clears it up for some thanks.

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thanks Q!

[@joseph-ine452]

Great info step by step. Going to the field now to tackle the troubleshooting. Thanks for your great video

[@mudder4660]

Excellent video to prepare for return HVAC tech repair. Had blower but no heat, aux heat light flashing in unoccupied building after turning temp higher for cold weather. Found the HVAC tech did a maintenance service call weeks ago but failed to insert the power disconnect plug at outside heat pump. Installed disconnect and Heat Pump worked, but concerned if weeks of heat strip only damaged limit switches, fuse or heat strips as blower worked but no hot air prior to reinsertion of power disconnect plug.

[@asylum8934]

As a newbie to the servicing field this was really helpful.

[@AZWorm41]

Very helpful. Thanks for being clear and concise.

[@acservicetechchannel]

You're welcome!

[@arronz6849]

I run a company and use your videos to help out my newer techs. It saves me a lot of time. You do a great job explaining in detail. However you made one mistake, on the single sequencer (M1,M2,M3,M4) the upper and lower level contacts close at the same time, 1-20 seconds. When you have a dual heat sequencer, 2 side by side or a second sequencer (M5,M6,M7,M8) powering the 3rd and 4th heat strips, the second one will close at the later time of 30-90 seconds. I just wanted to clear that up for newer techs watching this.

Great video! Is it possible to accidentally crosswire and have the heat strip activated when the blower is on, but the thermostat heat mode is set to off?

[@jeffreylamelas8102]

Good information thank you

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thanks a lot Jeffrey!

[@ramseytrain]

this looks like straight electric heat, got any videos on a heat strip such as on a Nordyne electric furnace wired into a heat pump such as Rheem or Goodman split system used in mobile homes

[@jamisongentle7161]

This is great information. I have a Trane unit almost identical to this and the fan delay relay was changed out but with a rly2807 that has normally open connector on relay. And in ac relay works fine, but in heat mode the fan will not come on unless thermostat switch fan on. I think someone put the wrong relay on this unit, as you said this system should have a normally closed relay.

[@georgequintas459]

Excellent

[@acservicetechchannel]

Thank you so much 😀

[@nessnesu6202]

My question is in the MCA and MOCP for 240/208 for unit with electric heat. I always see like for example MCA 56/49 and MOCP 60/50 for 240/208. Wouldn’t the higher voltage mean a smaller breaker? Feel like the voltages or breakers labeled are backwards. FYI I am looking at a Lennox air handler for those numbers, but I see it on Carrier too.

[@acservicetechchannel]

I would need a pic of that to jog my memory on that one. Usually they only have only one per rating but I know what you mean. You could email the pic to [e-mail] thanks!
