Completely ReWiring Electric Furnace - Removing Control Board

This is from a call the other day. I returned to rewire furnace, and remove the board. #hvac #hvaclife #hvacguy #hvacboss #fieldpiece #makita #hvactech #hvactechnician

[@charliebrewer617]

That repair is amazing. It takes knowledge, talent and experience. Very well done.

[@davidca96]

To guys who do this everyday it may not seem to amazing, but to guys like me in another tech profession but never work on this type of thing I find this ingenius. I never realized a system that has a control board could be setup to run without it. It probably makes it much more reliable after doing this.

[@thefred0215]

Bravo to using your knowledge to save the customer some money.

[@bryansimon4072]

Nice job explaining the conversion.

[@leealtmansr.3811]

It's nice to see some of us can still re-wire equipment. These control boards are taking over way to much. (Yes, they do a certain job).

[@rugerboyks6288]

As a Student I honestly appreciate these videos man! I’m trying to be the best one day so I’m just studying and studying and studying and studying on top of my school. I’m finding out you have to mix both into one as far as hands on and research.

[@mikegallant8782]

So cool! Subscripted not too long ago and been watching a lot of your videos, your way of diagnosis and troubleshooting is on point. As an electrician I always trying to improve my skills and have picked up a few things for your videos, keep it up 👍

[@stephenbierlein2517]

Years ago a brand used ac current on relays for electric heat . Customer didn't like the constant noise for relays buzzing. Got permission from factory to rewire. Used honeywell sequencer new wire no more problems. Always hated the type sequencers yo used . On new units failure were several in short time. Good luck with yours. Have a great day .

[@Paulie1232]

I knew you were not going to be able to find the board, great job...

[@Ae3lolz]

i really dig this vlog. you seem to actually enjoy what youre doing, and wanna do it right.

[@michaelbuxton9368]

Gave it the old school shine!!!! Well done!!

[@Aprincehallmason357]

Thank you so much for two years I didn’t do any no heat calls we got a freeze storm and got thrown in heat still kicks my ass

[@realestateservicessaleshea99]

Good job. Sometimes people don't appreciate the extra effort. Thanks again for the videos. 🥃🍺🍺🍺🥃🎯🏌🏻‍♀️ Stay safe. Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!

[@rruizproductions]

Did you reconfigure the schematic diagram on its new layout? I'm curious to look and learn from it.

[@gotchaplumber]

Looks great ... trying to follow you. Good info.

[@lhr1701]

Just wondering did you replace that crust Cap. ? And I know the board was bad due to the loose contact strip . Could have you just soldered the contact strip back on ?

[@thelazyfishkeeper2730]

so we went from state of art tech kinda, to old school reliable tech. and this was cheaper than replacing the board?? or the board was unavailable. stay well

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Curtis.

[@W4AX]

You did a great workaround and clearly have mastered the HVAC trade. I don’t recall why you didn’t replace the control board and save the labor time.Seems like it may have been a cheaper and easier way to proceed. Great job in any case.

[@crabmansteve6844]

Supply chain issues are wreaking havoc on this trade. If you can reuse something it will save a substantial amount of time and money right now, because it may be a while for a part and prices gave gone through the roof. Just refrigerant has gone up something like 60%-80% depending on where you are.

[@ZerotechzCuttingedgetechz]

Very detailed and useful..Thank you for the video

[@bobschuster63]

Job came out okay , just wondering if you carry spare name plates for the equipment since you’ve re-engineered that air handler it’s now yours ! ?

[@ranimouf]

I agree. I hate control boards. I was unlucky purchasing 9 air handlers for my complex andI have been spending a lot of money replacing them. They keep failing all the time. I think I m gonna have them replaced with 9340 relays.

[@jericosha2842]

This is badass...correction: you're a badass

[@MsFishingdog]

Good job.

[@wonderhomie2011]

Basically, using the relay in reverse to make a lockout of using the high and low speeds at the same time. HVAC school also has a clip about this too but nice work.

[@vitoplower1119]

Smthn not to show- rigging things up. We can fire em all thru relays. Upon the time... Judge asked contractor a question - when did you get engineer degree? Lawsuit was against burnt down 2 stories apartment. Lost. True story in FL. Edit: yes, we got great skills... We starve to share it... Tho - there a thin line :(

[@larrystivers9592]

Where does the yellow, orange and white wire from the thermostate hook up.

[@estableciendoelreino4149]

Question can you put a nest thermostat without a control board ?

[@jasonaguilar4929]

Great video !!!

[@GlenS123]

This is how simple things used to be, then expensive boards came along.

[@UberArchangel]

Modern controller boards are just costly things that break all the time and ramp up the fan. This could easily be done with capacitors and resistors as a small board. Unless you have a Mercedes of hvac systems they are not needed but, force you to buy new because most people can't rewire it.

[@davidcruickshank2419]

Quick question, do you go through your supplier or directly through Honeywell to get your logo printed on the thermostats

[@joshuameadows5574]

Love your videos . Just a quick question why do you refer to the wire being broke by the sequencer as common. Ive always been taught that the speed tap on a blower is run .

[@allanbrito13]

I don't think it matters cuz what I'm getting from it is choose a name for each side of wires to avoid a direct short

[@joshuameadows5574]

@@allanbrito13 I was wrong because the same wire that feeds start also feeds run. And in this situation it would leave the speed tap as common.

[@victorgallardo9409]

Great video man!

[@soundslikebstome]

Well done.

[@DevinHVACInc]

Nice job.

[@tphvac87]

Very nice job, I would’ve lost my head trying to do that, very methodical work ethic, love it @hvacguy

[@chrisduhaime5689]

We call it Rheeming it out

[@RickSegui]

Please put this info to a drawing!

[@blackcat31w]

Referring to one of the 240 volt legs as "common" kept me doing a double take. Maybe "L2" would be a better name. Good video that makes me ask: Why do manufacturers have to complicate simple systems with circuit boards?

[@MrTrailerman2]

Supposedly for efficiency. But the money saved gets flushed after the first labor repair . I tell my customers to buy the lowest efficiency equipment because they will never see a return on investment.

[@pauldickinson6612]

I need that wiring diagram!! Please!

[@tphvac87]

This should be interesting, love the channel man! Where you from? Very informative and pretty damn confusing we don’t work on many heat pumps up here in CT and I’m sure you see no steam boilers where you are 😂

[@DevinHVACInc]

I think Georgia Tom. He’s the mikey pipes for Georgia.

Genius

[@Eddy63]

Good vid 👍👍👍 ... Thx ...

[@mel904]

You have effectively lost the UL rating for the unit. I would also say , the liability if it ever causes a fire. Insurance company would have trouble with it also I am sure.

[@moonlightacmaintenance3232]

We call that a haircut. Did you do it because of money , time to get new board or board not available at all?

[@HVACGUY]

Not available

[@davewolfy.5932]

Good job hate circuit boards

[@stephwaylonwells3218]

👍

[@user-ql2bz8on7m]

I'm sorry my friend I know you know your stuff but we need some detail man we can't really see anything what you doing in there if you could draw a color coded diagram so we know what's going on there other than that then it will be just another video
