[@berylwhite2983]

Thanks! You can make a little love me I don't have very much! But I see you work your butt off every time. And thank you very much for doing it! But remember be safe because I want to see to your family. Catch you on the next video

[@HVACRSurvival]

Please don't feel like you need to contribute anything, I enjoy reading the comments you post, thats plenty compensation! I make money on the videos if they get the views, all i was saying was why I mention the tool manufactures and do the flashlight and the power station reviews.

[@nickcampbell8096]

I hate melting ice off those encapsulated units. Great video Rick!

[@latenitehvac868]

Try installing the KE2 controller. They work great

I would like to see a maintenance video, I’ve learned a lot from you and Everything HVACR, you both gave me ideas for things to look at on these maintenances. Have you had a lot of issues with your field piece probs? I bought the psychrometers and I love them and have been considering getting the probes.

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

[@semidvdcdt8433]

Keep a A421abd in your inventory at least. They are really versatile and not that expensive and you can replace those automatic defrost thermostat and you'll save time by installing a thermostat with programmed defrost rather than a mecanical thernostat AND a timer... Wich you might not have enough space

Great Video! I made a short stubby out of a JB low side gauge and yellow jacket 19110 I believe it was. Nice to have a gauge to check the psi without dragging the manifold out. Gotta love working in the rain, everything is moist. Have a good day Rick.

[@MrJujubean]

I feel for that guy. Little mom and pop ice cream stand,I'm sure he doesn't have a lot of money for equipment repair. Did he opt to replace with defrost clock or go back with temp/defrost control

[@Eddy63]

Nice vid and job ... Thx for sharing ...

[@tbelding]

As a follow up - do some maintenance videos. Considering how many people don't do maintenance, or so I'm told, knowing how it's done _right_ would be good.

[@throttlebottle5906]

I think you were on to something with the probe being out laying on the bottom. it was probably the great weather and water in the cooler causing ice build up that pushed it out. maybe try putting it on the opposite side, slightly higher up and pushed deeper? look at all that safe wide open footing area, so graciously away from the edges. 🤣🤣

[@HVACRSurvival]

There's not much I can do about the edge, I can't nail 2x4s into the side of his cooler. You could take the approach that the satellite dish companies use because they're not allowed to get off of the ladder, BUT most accidents happen on ladders. There's no place to tie a harness off to because you're going to hit the ground before it catches you. Our job is dangerous, we just got to make the best you can of.

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

I dont mind. Get that money, brother. Gonna usenyour code too after this on call next month. Gonna get the probes, not Testo but the Fieldpiece. Dont hold it against me.I dont like the wire sticking out on the clamps. Looks like a fail point. What kind of rain coat was that. You always get the good stuff. Hope its not truewerk. Im already saving up for a hoodie for winter.

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Rick, No one should have to work for free, A master plumber told me along time ago when I was an apprentice electrician, never work for free. Now if your donating your time to a charity to people of need, is one thing, but if people have money they need to pay, same thing goes with family, your time has value.

[@HVACRSurvival]

Oh I'm getting paid for the job, I was referring to the compensation for the tools makes up for the time I spend on the videos.

[@johnwalker890]

I know, I was also referring to the videos, but I don't know how that works for both parties. You get popularity and benefits, but not sure how it all comes together. 🤔

[@tbelding]

If you hate moisture getting into your lines, don't move to the Gulf Coast. It could be 99 degrees and 100% humidity - and no rain.

[@graywolf2694]

Yep my box truck service truck looks like that for the same reasons, I end up just throwing crap on the floor close to the door so I don't have to walk far

[@HVACRSurvival]

Agreed 🤜🤛👍👍

[@uxwbill]

I've been debating which wireless probe set to get. On the one hand, I've been really happy with the Testo 550 manifold. On the other, I've heard the Testo wireless probes don't have the range the Fieldpiece ones do. The 550's onboard Bluetooth has a pretty limited range and that has been inconvenient in the past. It's the only bad thing I'd say about them.

[@HVACRSurvival]

I havent used the Testo pressure probes but the temp probes work a lot better than the first generation. The fieldpiece probes have good range but a crap app. Measure quick doesn't work with Testo anymore and they are wanting to much money for the product. I shouldn't have to sell each customer on letting me use the MQ app for $5 each Job. Thats to much trouble in my mind and then have to get paid back. Originally I liked the FP probes best but thats starting to wear. The Testos aren't perfect but the app works good.

[@uxwbill]

​@@HVACRSurvival I had no idea MeasureQuick was doing that. I don't begrudge a company the need to make money, though apparently they are taking a very hard-line stance by punishing anyone who takes a screenshot of the MeasureQuick software. I won't accept co-opting my device's functionality in that manner. I have a very hard time imagining that MeasureQuick is barely staying afloat. As best I can tell, they and TruTech Tools are _one and the same thing_ . Judging by TTT's blog posts, they're doing quite well selling all manner of HVAC/R tools and thus what would a little goodwill toward the community that brought MeasureQuick so many users really hurt? I've purchased several tools from TTT using both Chris' and your promo codes. Going forward, I'm going to have to think about whether I want to patronize them again or not, if there isn't a substantial revision to MeasureQuick's policies. I'd be perfectly willing to pay for a fully functional perpetual software license within reason. I want no part of software by subscription, nor to have someone telling me what features of my device I can and cannot use. (Yes, I know they say Qbits aren't offered by subscription. The point still stands. I don't want to be strung along with additional expenses.) I am a very small player who will never be missed, no doubt, but if anyone asks, it won't be MeasureQuick (or TTT) I recommend any longer. It is not my intention at all to place your relationship with TTT in jeopardy, and I will be glad to remove this post immediately upon your request. If anyone from TTT or MeasureQuick is reading this and would like to reach out to me, the e-mail address on my channel is valid.

[@scottlaferriere4499]

Hello Rick, I do enjoy watching your video's. That last couple you put out are definitely not OSHA or code compliant, and I do get trying to get the customer up and running. The few examples are the units on edge of roof which equal a fall hazard, no disconnects at equipment on roof which equal a shock hazard, on this job I had seen MC or BX wire run on roof which is not rated for outdoor use. You must care for your own safety so you can go home safe to your family.

[@vincentpribish9276]

What I suspect 1- that's not an outdoor unit. No manufacturer would pass UL with that controller for outdoor applications. That said, being indoors there should be no need for head pressure control. 2- I didn't see a baffle between condenser fans. Which you wouldn't need with a non cycling fan unit. However, since one fan is out it's basically circumventing the condenser coil and just pulling air from one fan and out the other. 3- the klixon switch could be a high pressure limit. Obviously this is all speculation because I'm not there looking at the unit.

[@HVACRSurvival]

You know what I think you're correct, this is the same type of unit that we have on top of the subways that are inside the building. Everything else is hodgepodge at this place so it wouldn't surprise me that somebody found it somewhere at an auction and threw it on top.

[@throttlebottle5906]

according to the paint marker model number (PTT099H2C), it is an outdoor unit. *PTT = Package, Top mount, Outdoor. * the third letter N = indoor and T= outdoor. the outdoor model difference is pretty much having, crankcase heater, drain heater, weather hood. that said, where's the drain line heater? did I miss it or it doesn't exist and shouldn't it extend out the added rubber hose? the indoor model has a condensate evap. pan and no drain or heaters at all(except freezer/low temp). i think it's the same across all heatcraft/larkin package units, but you kow how they like to shake things up to screw the techs dry no lube. 🤣🤣

[@HVACRSurvival]

@trottle bottle and boom your extra vast knowledge comes in handy. The drain line had a heater inside the drain line.

[@throttlebottle5906]

@@HVACRSurvival yeah well, if I was there working on it, my mind likely wouldn't remember that, due to processing all the other cruft. but that's pretty normal visual differences for majority of brands indoor vs. outdoor. 🤪

[@vincentpribish9276]

@@throttlebottle5906 I'm not so sure I'd trust a paint marker. Do we have a specific, make and model. I know Kolpak makes these package units. Others as well. Hard to believe an outdoor unit would have louvers on the top to allow water to just pour down onto the compressor. Additionally, the controller would be in a NEMA 3R type enclosure.
