They don’t make stuff like that anymore lol

[@seanmichael8202]

Totally

[@concealed4carry]

After 8 years WHY all of a sudden did they call for service?? Reminds me of a call i got once for a 7-11with a store front sign that was not lighting up. We go up fully expecting a bad LED driver are to our surprise, no lights or drivers or power was ever installed.

Wow nice catch and fix bro. I used to work for a company doing hood cleaning and it was a dirty job hated it but it paid bills I let my boss know that I was going to quit to become an HVAC technician

[@eamoncollier]

I'm in the middle of my second month of on-the-job training. If I'm not reading during the long drive between Austin and San Antonio, I'm watching your videos. Then watching them again. They are a massive help. Well explained. You know your shit. Thanks very much.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Your telling me!!

[@OzzyskylerTheGreat]

I'm a kitchen worker, and honestly, I would love to know the inside and out of HVAC for kitchen systems. I think it would definitely make me a little more valuable in the kitchen, and a second trade skill is always nice.

[@improvmentfactory]

Look into Air Balancing it pays 80k and we do tons of kitchen work. We’re the people who come after HVAC and make everything run properly.

[@More350Power]

That amazes me when there is an incomplete install.... There has to be wear on that system from running all that time. Thank you for the videos, these kinds of things really intrigue me.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks for watching!

[@seanmichael8202]

It's crappy that there are contractors in the world that miss this kind of stuff... Awesome you get the opportunity to be a badass and make money off those mistakes... Great job, man 🤙

[@yurizhivago4848]

Be VERY careful what you stand on when working in suspended ceilings. I know of a tech who stood on one or a sprinkler pipe and the hanger wires let loose and he fell through it and broke his back. On permanent disability now. That and some of those outdoor ladders going up the side of buildings can have bad anchoring. I know of a guy who had one come loose and he fell and is not with us anymore. Safety comes first.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

You NEVER go up on those outdoor side ladders. Never.

[@waddlespire]

I've only been at the job for a couple of years, but I'm a QC for this kind of product, and these videos are helpful to me. We only build the electrical packages in my area, so seeing the full unit running, and how everything works together, is an invaluable asset. A lot of the components have changed, but I could follow along and make sense of it with what I know. Thank you for sharing your experiences. You're making a difference. ^_^

[@andyhill242]

I think every industry has it's cowboy installers who don't commission properly, probably because it's just hard work. One great tip I have learnt from your channel is zip tying to zip tie. I don't care what industry you're in if it involves wires this is a great tip.

[@acechoice45]

Nice job man lol I just came across a new customer who had a automated logic EMS installed to control their HVAC/R equipment they call us to commission the over 80 RTUs most of them had been in service for over 10 years you won’t believe what we found how did some of this stuff ever work lol good job as always!

[@ktga67ish]

Hope that wasn't in Atlanta, I used to work for an installer of Automated Logic. We did find a lot of rats nests in some of the existing systems we were remodeling.

[@JimmyRJump]

Never had a particular interest in AC systems. But I do like technical stuff. Thanks to the completely bonkers KZbin algorhythm I occasionally ran into videos about AC technics and got hooked on your stuff. Subscribed a few weeks back for a few reasons. One is that you're the most thorough technician I came across and you do a perfect job every time or at least, as close to perfect as one can get. On a sidenote: my bro-in-law does more or less the same job as you, just that he also does central heating burners, and he has to do exams every two years to catch-up with new and obsolete hardware and new or changed regulations. Is that something you have to do on a regular basis as well? All the best and greetings from Antwerp in Belgium.

I'll bet it was Installed on a Friday. (Eight years ago) In my line of work, I get pretty much the same all the time. Never Installed, Installed wrong, etc. Just last week I got a call for a UPS That did not come on when a power event happen. Come to find out the Installer never hooked up the neg side of battery when it was installed.

[@marksmith6259]

How often as a breakdown technician finds stuff never installed / commissioned properly. Nicely done there.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Yep, in fact I just replaced two duct detectors on an rtu unit yesterday that had been there for 8 years and when I went to test the fire alarm I realized they have never been properly hooked up to the alarm, so now I get to meet with the alarm company and tell them how to do their job

[@peewee3889]

My dad is a hood tech he say it's impossible for a exhaust fan to run for 8 years without service and not changing the pulley the pulley would've been broke and even if the motor didn't have a pulley around the motor still would've died therefore this is a lie

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I'm sure your dad is a great hood tech, and he is correct. But you gave him incorrect information I did not say it had never been serviced I said the exhaust system had been wired to run all the time for he last eight years. Of course the belt has been replaced several times over the last 8 years but the fan itself was never shut off by the customer from downstairs because of the sensor that was never installed. The only time the fan would have been turned off would have been whenever the hood itself was service to be cleaned and or have the belt replaced. Therefore it is not a lie just a mis understanding on your part

[@DTzant]

So what would cause this continuous running even if the thermostat is connected.

[@chenjinyin7261]

Power switch off But because there is no temperature sensor So will it go to safe mode and let the fan motor continue to run?

[@cbcb4946]

On the motor starter how do you know where to set that up for proper operation

[@sparkydave2783]

The overload relay should be set for the full load current of the motor, just make sure you take the rating from the data plate of the motor and you select the right current value for the connected voltage!

[@sparkydave2783]

Hi Chris, hope I’m not ‘teaching grandma how to suck eggs’, but just thought I’d add for those that want to learn: the best in class motor protection relays now include a thermal model of the motor within them and can apply very precise overload protection even taking into account multiple heavy starts (and the heating effect thereof). That is; the overload will trip and protect the motor even though there could be a cumulative heating effect in the rotor/stator that a good ol’ bimetallic overload (especially in a cool control panel) could never detect! Coupled with a thermistor and the right tripping class/motor data, no motor should ever burn out again. Honest 😂😂

[@Mike-rk6hw]

As soon as I saw the title I knew what it would be. I bypassed the temp device on my own hood so it would only turn on when I pushed the switch to turn it on. No way I'm throwing dollars out the window on the electric bill. I bet this guy would love to have 8 years of lost money back. Mine are not digital like these they are analog and you have to turn the top of the probes to change the temp setting and they are in the same place on top of the hood and projecting into the duct.. The big issue I have with them aside from the electric waste was that it would cycle the hood motor on and off on and off until the temp was far enough one way or the other then it would shut the motor off or let it run. When you shut down at the end of the day you have quite a bit of residual heat from the cooking appliances so the probes would cool down with the motor running the fan and once it shut off would restart again as the heat built up again. I was worried about burning up the motor because of that so I just bypassed the temp switch altogether. I would say you need to monitor this and you may have to change the set point or this thing could do the same at then of their shift.
