How I Record My Videos, my Veto MB2 and More...HVAC LIFE

[@mylesmackey2430]

I cannot get enough of these videos. I really like how you take your every day experiences and use them to tell a story. You really have a talent for speaking to the camera. You're up on a roof or in a cooler all by yourself and you're constantly aware that you have an audience and you always speak as if your viewers are right there in the moment over your shoulder. I get so engulfed of your narratives. Been binge watching these videos on repeat for a few weeks now before I go to work and I notice I bring a lot of your lessons along with me during the day like "thinking outside of the box" and "dont get stuck in the box" when I get frustrated. Keep posting!

[@briangiguere5842]

Being an individual still in tech school, your videos are a great source of information. I'm pretty sure all the newer guys are like myself and appreciate all the extra time and work you invest into your videos. Thank you for your in-depth descriptions of problems found and solved, you'd make a great teacher/instructor from your experiences. Keep these coming and work safe, my friend!

[@jimbola77]

love all your video's partner!!! knowledge is power! we alway's keep learning!

[@jimmytiernan5540]

I enjoy watching your videos! Keep up the good work!!

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Jimmy Tiernan thank you very much

[@mikerefrigeration5736]

I like your style man. You are very organized, very professional, and authentic. And your workmanship is proper 👍

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

MIKEY RYAN thank you brother

Cesar, My name is Woody, and I am an HVAC-R instructor here at Elgin Community College, Elgin, IL. Your videos hold great instructional value to the students here at Elgin Community College. While they are excellent as far as instructional and troubleshooting, it is the value of showing them about what is required as far as self and family sacrifice, commitment to learning proper troubleshooting skills (as opposed to being a parts changer), being ethical and worthy of the customers that we serve. My students subscribe to your channel, and often times your videos are part of the class lecture or required viewing for homework assignments. You are playing a vital role in helping to turn out the next generation of qualified, ethical, competent HVAC-R technicians. Keep up the good work, and thanks. Woody

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Steve Wood thank you very much for your words. It is a very truly pleasure for me to help your students in any way. The reason for my channel is very simple as you mentioned, not only instruct new generations but also get good work ethics for costumers and your company as well as your coworkers. Again thank you guys for your support, we can make a new great generation of exelent techs together!

Cesar: I love watching your videos, I'm always learning something. I discovered that when you upload a video to youtube with music, I believe their robot checks the music to see if there is a copyright problem. It kicked one of my videos back once, so I tried something different. Instead of using the actual wave file, I played the music over the speakers, recorded it on an olympus voice recorder, and then added that sound to the video. It worked. I think their robots look for some embed copyright info in the wave file. For example, in my photography, I have my name and contact info embeded in the metadata files, I think the same may happen in music, etc. So that worked for me, a lot of work though, I just had to prove I could get around their robots. I've been retired for about 10 years, that makes me 69 years old now. Among other things I was an IT person, instrument tech, and many more. I enjoy doing refrigeration and AC, mostly for fun, I charge some people, others I don't charge. I work with a local company which has been in business for 30 years, but I bring newer technology to the table. I'm surprised by how much "seat of the pants" stuff is done, systems work, but not to their maximum efficiency, I like to do things right and fine-tune things. I also can't believe how many dump r22 into the air instead of reclaiming the freon, they say it isn't worth their time, so they just dump it. I won't say more about that. MS Moviemaker, haven't used that in years, a free video editing program. I use Magix, a German product, take a little getting used to, and it is cheap. Keep up the good work - Jim

[@solofoto576]

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Ivan Velasquez thank you bro, I'm glad you like them!

[@colehvactech7117]

I got that same exact meter it was my dad's for a few years before he gave it to me its bout 4 maybe 5 years old now he's also an hvac technician and I'm an installer sometimes they send me out to do some tech work but I just like being in one or two spots all day instead of 6 plus lol

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Cole Galatian thank you for sharing your path into the HVAC bro, keep it up, you will be a service tech someday!

[@colehvactech7117]

[@joshhenderson7723]

Bosch has really good customer service. If you sent it back I'm sure they'd take care of you. Great video, brother.

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

kaloian krastev thank you very much brother, appreciated your words

[@Dassick89]

I'm a new subscriber, I want to thank you for putting in the effort on top of your daily work to record and narrate. I've been in HVAC for a few years but not professionally, your processes and positive demeanor are very helpful to not get discouraged. It is also very helpful just seeing the issues you come across and how you tackle them, It's almost like learning in the field being a laborer with a master tech. Please keep doing what you're doing, It's great and I enjoy watching your videos. Much love man I hope you and your family are doing well!

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

kevin limparis thank you very much, it is my pleasure! Thanks for subscribe!

[@efraineuceda1244]

Hi Alex i like your videos im from Honduras s.p.s. i work in a/c i like you work nice man.

[@efraineuceda1244]

Sorry Cesar Alejandro .

[@manny6668]

Hey Alex. Nice upgrade on the tools. I have Ridget drill I got from home depot when it died on me I took it back and they trade it for a new one for free.

[@EliasOda]

Where do you get those Gauge brass connectors from. I've been looking everywhere but some Hvac & R Outlets sell just the gauge for manifolds. Thanks for your awesome videos mate... Very good

[@2chris300]

I had the same problem with my Milwaukee. All you have to do is change the carbon brushes.

[@boopernator]

You do an excellent job on your videos I'm really glad I found them on KZbin. You give an inside look into your trade that I think will inspire many people to take on the challenge of being an HVAC-R technician. I was also wondering what brand that "Paintbrush" is that you have tucked into the belt slot of your MB2. Keep up the good work, and thank you for the quality videos.

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

i got you a lnk from Graiger, thank you for your support brother

[@HVACUncensored]

[@DanO181919]

[@jaycurtis3092]

Another great video. I really enjoy your straight forward approach. And look forward to all your new ones. Question: does your boss say anything about your videos. They would be good for newer guys in your company.

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Jay Curtis thank you for your comment bro. What my boss says? I don't know, i never asked him directly, I know he congratulated me couple times for some great comment from subscribers. Thank you for your support!

Daniel Moreno thank you!

[@benchandler7089]

Hey there I am a new subscriber and I am not an engineer in the hvac field I am an elevator technician but have an interest in different fields of engineering. Plus good set up on your tool bag. Thinking of getting that type of multimeter/clamp meter but am based in the UK so getting fieldpiece over is pretty hard.

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Ben Chandler hello brother, I'm glad to hear that you are learning from my videos, thank you for subscribe, hope you have good luck with your search!

[@StephenRardon]

Great videos Sir! Those gauges though. Do you have a link to them?

[@mrcrux213]

👍

[@dmvheatcool2271]

Hey brother just wondering if you would recommend commercial hvac to anyone because right now I’m in residential and if commercial pays more? What are the pros and cons of commercial work?

[@andrewluna2901]

enjoying every minute of your videos! All of your videos are appreciated and valued by the us new techs and the I'm sure veteran techs!

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Andrew Luna thank you very much man! How's your headset?

[@OcRefrig]

Good video. Thanks for making this video. I was one of the people asking what u used to film your video's. ill prob get one of those little go pro cubes u use and that clamp and tripod thing. I think it will bring my videos to next level , filming actual work while im working. How do you know where to Point it when its on a tri-pod ? To frame it right ?

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

OcRefrigeration,Hvac & Electrical. Thank you for your question and comment bro, about how to know where to frame, you have to guess, but the ratio filming is so wide, you can't miss it! Thank you again

[@rubenv929]

I enjoy watching your videos keep up the good work.

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Ruben V thank you brother!

[@manny6668]

What ever happen to the testo bro. Just wondering if there was any update after the warranty issue

[@interceptII]

Do you still have the Bosch impact? I have an older one that had problems, I was able to open it up and fix it pretty easily

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

Daniel Neuman yes brother I still have it, one of these days I will try to replace the brushes and see if that is my problem, what problem did you have?

[@interceptII]

There was a pinched wire at the back of the head, chafed through even though there didn't appear to be any moving parts there. The symptoms look the same

[@187icu]

Brushes are burned out on the drill cheap repair

[@hvaclifewithalex4051]

187icu yes I need to make some time to see of I can repair it, thank you very much for watching

[@gotohydroponics7719]

Do you own the company or did you ask permission to record videos?
