COMBAT MAKE-UP AIR NOT HEATING & RTU NOT HEATING OVERTIME SERVICE CALLS

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

FL boys will never know the joys of working out in the snow. I miss the warm weather...hahahaha

[@michaeltobin905]

I do not miss the on call!!! Only the family of techs will understand!! Stay safe

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thank you Micheal👍👍

Good shit .. I enjoyed it.. im a hvac tech myself 10 years.. for a electric company in New Jersey..always good to see new see new content.. those on call roof units no Bueno for me 🤣😂

[@raymondsvoboda4175]

You do what you do to get things running. Don’t apologize. You’re a mechanic not a sales man. Great job. Stay safe. I’m on call right now in New York. Weather is rough.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I Melted the ice and evaporated the water from the control. Basically I dried it out and it started working again.

[@Eddy63]

Great vid Rick ... Respect for working in that kind of weather ... I had to work in the weather for 40 years ... They didn't care ... I'm retired now so I don't care either ... Lol ... Hey to Lora ...

[@HVACRSurvival]

No they do not, they just stare at you like "I don't hear what you're saying" , or "you've confused me with somebody that cares." LOL

[@donaldpainter956]

I've watched other channels and some of them are ok but you do a great job making your videos your knowledge is unsurpassable you explain everything so that anymore can undu

Thanks for taking us and by the way I bet your furnace was working. Sorry it wasn't a bad in neighborhood for your wife 😉 she was warm but still missing you everybody forgets when they call you out at 3 in the morning. They should have kept up the maintenance

[@HVACRSurvival]

Your welcome, thanks 4 checking it out!

[@samuelaranda4597]

I’m from the Bay Area California. I’ve never done a service call in the snow. You are hard core dude

[@HVACRSurvival]

It's just the way it is, Canada would be much worse😁

[@EyesofIllusion]

You got big huevos for working out late night in the snow. You are one tough guy, mad respect 👊

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks David, it could have been raining 🙄 or been high winds, luckily it was just what you seen.

[@KadirYildiran]

It is midnight, cold and snowy. Working this way is one of the challenges of the service industry, I'm talking about not only this profession, but also similar jobs. While many people are resting at home, some needs are met quietly, and sometimes people don't think about it and get bored. However, we love our job and our profession, we are open to development and innovation, we are open to being "eager, curious" and we continue to develop 👍👍👍💪💪💪

[@rickyhertz7250]

Most would have given up , Great job man !

[@HVACRSurvival]

Yeah, I try not to as much as I wanted to. Otherwise I would have had to go through all that rigmarole getting the part. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@awesomebillfromdawsonville8715]

Seen many Carriers with snow filled up in the control section when wind direction is right it will fill them up solid. We carry heat guns for that exact issue Iowa winters

Does foam tape help?

Man that MUA Unit is huge! I've seen plenty out in the field but never that big! 😲

[@HVACRSurvival]

I believe I listed a video earlier last year that was larger. But it was good size. Thanks 4 watching👍👍

[@joeyoung2834]

@@HVACRSurvival I will have to see that video. Can't wait to now that you mentioned it! Love my my job in commercial hvac/r trade. Been in it now going on 5 and a half years.

[@77LionTree]

A tool that may help you troubleshoot in a situation like that, where it was difficult to see which unit was trying to run, would be a Milwaukee m12 thermal imager. As a plumber it has helped me many of times see the naturally invisible. Thank you much for sharing your informing knowledge.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I had a nice one from snap-on for a while, but the stupid thing quit working properly so now I'm kind of leery of wasting that kind of money. I have used that one you're talking about, it's nice. It was one of the medium size ones I believe 1500 to 1800?

[@markcaldwell1245]

The iPhone Flir has worked well for me and does not cost too much compared to some of the stand alone units.

[@sterlingarcher46]

Seems like you had a fun night out eh ! Kudos for being patient and not leaving till u got it working though 👍

[@HVACRSurvival]

I really don't have an option to leave before it's fixed LOL. To the best of my knowledge they haven't called back in yet so it's still working

[@billj4859]

Long time ago we had a control company leave some panels off and a snowstorm hit. That was a construction job and much earlier in the day when that call came in. We stripped the components out of the control cabinets and brought them inside. I thought that kinda sucked. Your job looked a lit more frustrating. Good job getting them running again.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks Bill, It wasn't to bad, but if the snow had stopped it would have been golden.

[@wd8557]

I am from Michigan, i was on a roof one time it was about -10 and windy as hell. This was a quick inducer motor change out ( 10 min normally). It took me about 35 mins I was frozen to the bone. I waked to the ladder and said how in the fk am I gonna get down LMAOOOOO. Then this guy walks by and I ask him to stand on the ladder , I was able to get on it undid the tie off and made it down. I bought a heated hoodie and hat because of that. Stay safe.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I remember a couple times that happen to me. Long hot shower still didn't take the cold away😂. I have better cold outerwear now, still sucks👍👍

[@sterlingarcher46]

Double socks , thermal underwear and a hot cup of tea in an insulated cup ... I found it helps a ton , even if you can't keep the tea warm for very long , it stills help a lot when you're on the rooftop battling the windchill 👍

[@HVACRSurvival]

I thought you guys called socks, knickers? Or is that just the English or the Brits whatever. Our education system is kind of lacking over here LOL

[@sterlingarcher46]

woooow. This one was a tough one.

[@karlschoen7297]

Used to do refrigeration in the past only do hvac now hated midnight call's but who did . I would think someone had the panel off before you got there

[@HVACRSurvival]

It looked like it👍 but I don't think that's possible with where I was. It's a secured building and I believe we're the only HVAC co they use currently.

[@Ted_E_Bear]

You’re the man Rick !

[@awesomebillfromdawsonville8715]

Doesn't hurt to use foam tape but if the control panel cover isn't tight it will still get in and some times it gets in from around the top rear of control section from lid being bent from pulling to split coils

[@HVACRSurvival]

Makes sense👍👍

[@josephmettes9147]

Thanks for the video Rick! Stay safe out there brother! Fingers crossed that rtu makes it through with no more problems until you can go back!

[@HVACRSurvival]

It made it surprisingly enough.

[@s.j.nurnberg3101]

Cannot tell us where you are working, T-stats in the return air at the unit, looks to be downtown or town square, Working at the count jail? Great video.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I know nothing 🙄🙄🙄🏆

[@punchpunchowned]

Good video. I would like to point out on these carriers code 8 could also be a bad gas valve. I've had bad gas valve cause internal control faults. If you mess up the 3 wires for the 2 stage gas valve it will also trigger that code. Good thing you figured it out

[@HVACRSurvival]

Makes sense, that would likely be a short if the valve was wired wrong? You can see I had snow in the harness at the board, once I got it melted and dried out it started working.

[@sivalley]

Had that code the other day, they had jumpered W1/W2 to high fire all the time, the W2 coil in the valve had partially shorted and caused weird voltage to appear on the W1 input on the board and signalled 8. I disconnected the W2 at the valve and low fire came on no problem. Since W2 is connected DIRECTLY to the valve it can cause some interesting false malfunctions.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Thanks for the info, that definatlty might come on handy for later👍👍🤜🤛

Dam brother that’s a nice save 😅 I want that blower now for sure

Snow and electricity do not mix.

[@maxpenrose3032]

Why would you want to take the outside air and heat it up When outside air is freezing cold why wouldn't you want to recirculate the air inside the building that's already been warmed but I guess that would build-up carbon monoxide So I guess drawing the outside air keeps the carbon monoxide Levels at a safe level

[@HVACRSurvival]

You have to remember why your "making up air". 👉Because your exhausting air to the outside.
