Another Day in the Life of an HVAC Tech: Episode 19

[@TheRadioShop]

People really do not appreciate what you guys go through to keep these old units going. Great job man.

[@Halligan142]

I just cant believe the out of production with no cross available deal that the manufacturer told me. Honestly I doubt blowers were changed on newer units. I'll give them the supply issue with not having the parts, but just not producing them,?

[@daviddesilva4971]

Great save on the blower. MacGyver would be proud. Thxs for the vid!

[@wilsonhardy2100]

That is one fan that will out live the whole air handler! Great repair job! Good to see you are still hitting it out of the park!

[@Halligan142]

Yup. Heavy duty

[@Eddy63]

Good fan replacement 👍👍👍 Haven't heard from you in a while .Your vids are always top notch ... Thx for posting ...

[@Randylazz]

And she lives to see another day awesome video 👍🏽

[@PaulLemelin]

Creative method to locate the second hole for the bearing mount. That's one I'll keep in my back pocket.

[@Halligan142]

My highschool geometry teacher wins this round

[@AWDJRforYouTube]

Great video Greg... The "BFH" always works "F'n A" lol! I have a smaller blower like that I've used year round circulating air in my shop for 40 years.

[@Halligan142]

When in doubt hit it harder

[@shawnmrfixitlee6478]

Perfect job man ! You saved the day again ..That will last for many years if someone greases those bearings once in a while .. ENJOYED , Great to see you back on KZbin again !

[@Halligan142]

As long as they do the PM's we'll see about that

[@mikebroom1866]

"Normal" people wouldn't go to these lengths to save something, just have to buy a new one. Very nice.

[@Halligan142]

I've never been accused of being normal

[@timmienorrie]

Really interesting insight into your day job. Thanks.

[@daleestey3430]

I hope the customer watches this video. Great customer service!

[@patwicker1358]

Boy, you sure are the guy I would want to do my HVAC work!

[@Randylazz]

Where can we locate the bearing bracket You installed in the video?

[@Halligan142]

I'll have to check the invoice for part numbers.

[@Halligan142]

The invoice just says 17" twist bracket. No part numbers are given and for the life of me I cannot find anything similar through quick Google image searches. They were bought from Central Fan in Medford, MA

[@Dan.Whiteford]

That looks like a first class repair. That is likely to give years of satisfactory service.

[@popsmccartney435]

Great job.

[@Darryl603]

Better than OEM! Are those sealed bearings or do they use grease zerks?

[@Halligan142]

they have zerks

[@scottjones7279]

Good fix.

[@jamesrooney7689]

your the man great job

[@sacredcow61]

Great video! This makes me want to leave the restaurant business and learn HVAC. Is 30 years old too late to learn?

[@Halligan142]

Not really. We've hired people older that were right out of a trade school. Best bet is to look locally around you and see if any companies offer an apprenticeship program. You will need at least some classes to qualify for your state license. Each state is different so check local requirements. EPA certificate is federal so that is a standard across the board.

[@victordelacruz4906]

That's blower fan blade

[@Halligan142]

It is a blower wheel or squirrel cage
