HVAC Service Call: Fan Coil Unit ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE! HVAC FCU Not Heating/Cooling-Complete Teardown

HVAC Service Call: 2 Pipe Fan Coil Unit Not Heating (Fan Coil Unit With Emergency Electric Heat) HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning) FCU Not Heating/Cooling / HVAC Fan Coil Unit / HVAC Fan Coil Unit Not Working / HVAC Fan Coil Unit Not Heating / HVAC Fan Coil Unit Not Cooling / HVAC Fan Coil Unit Troubleshooting / HVAC FCU / FCU Not Cooling / FCU Not Heating / FCU Not Turning On / FCU Not Working / FCU Maintenance / FCU Troubleshooting / FCU Installation / FCU Thermostat / FCU Valve Actuator / FCU Transformer / FCU Control Relay / FCU SPDT Auto Changeover / FCU Pipe Sensor / Chilled Water Fan Coil Unit / Hot Water Fan Coil Unit / 2 Pipe Fan Coil Unit / 4 Pipe Fan Coil Unit #HVAC #FCU #JUMPERMANTECH
A chilled water fan coil unit (FCU) works by transferring heat from the air passing over the internal heat exchanger to the chilled water passing within. Cold water is supplied by a chiller unit, or reversible heat pump, which is installed in a central plant room or on the roof of a building.
Next, the chilled water circulates through a pipework distribution system to the heat exchanger (coil) within the fan coil unit. Fans within the unit then draw air over the exchanger containing the cold water cooling the air, which is finally dispersed into the desired space to provide the occupants or building users with comfort cooling.
In the summer, this building uses chilled water and in the winter the building uses hot water which gets distributed to these fan coil units. There is an electrical heater installed for those cold off season days while the chiller is in operation.

I remember a high rise in the 90's that was almost identical to this setup. Just a bunch of First Co. fir-downs crammed into the smallest of spaces, covered up, and without any consideration for future servicing. Watching this video makes me happy that I've been doing commercial/induistrial/data centers ever since! :)

[@JumpermanTech]

Haha I hear you with that but Im a commerical tech and this is a hotel. It's part of the road. Larger units are definitely more comfortable to work on 💯 Not a fan of the tight spaces but it's part of working in New York city where space is so limited🤯 Thanks for watching & stay safe out there! 🔧⚡️

[@armandotorres626]

Your patience while tackling these tough jobs is amazing.... Good job!!!

[@JumpermanTech]

Thank you!! That's the only way or you'll go crazy. Eventually a mistake would be made as well. Appreciate the feedback🙏Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️

[@stevenpollock6342]

Its so amazing totally agree id b so pissed I'm thinking other people should be involved, I actually work with a sparky with jobs like that he takes over and I'm like thank you

[@aquaticspecialities5382]

They have the replacement motors but they’ve never seen those heater coils?!? 😂😂😂 people are wild. Good job man. That would’ve been a triple nightmare dropping that unit 😮 glad it worked out for ya

[@jrh86]

Element--ary my dear Jumperman 😃 what a releif when the elements bank showed up 👍👍 great work an amazing video which speaks volumes in the determination to get the Job back on line and unexpected additional works....typical 😂

[@jusrobington]

Looks like a situation the contractor said if it fits it ships. By the time that thing needs repairs the original guys are long gone.

[@anthonycanty3755]

You have patience and great troubleshooting skills

[@nicolerennie]

beautiful thing indeed 👌🏼 great work & video JMT⭐️

[@JumpermanTech]

Thats right ⚡️ Thank you!!🙏🔧⚡️

[@MrEnky007]

Nice emergency problem solving and thought process 👍

[@JumpermanTech]

Thank you very much! Appreciate that🙏Stay tuned new videos every week🔧⚡️

[@brucemcgee2281]

Used to do residential HVAC. I neverr saw anything like this. How old are these units? Everything looks like many people have dipped their fingers into this equipment over the years. Thank you for posting these vids. They take me back.

[@JumpermanTech]

16 floors of nightmare units just like this 😂 Many people have serviced these units over the years & if you see some of my other videos, you'll see they only made things worse before I arrive and have to fix their mistakes. Many companies have even gave up. No wiring diagrams and these units date back to 2005. Definitely a mystery box every time I arrive. You're very welcome & thank you for watching! Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️

[@svdleer]

@@JumpermanTech you know for sure you have work the next years if you don't give up and they keep you coming for service calls.

[@JumpermanTech]

@@svdleer That's a fact. I'm literally here right now! 😂😂😂

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

[@BERESHIDA2008]

A VERY ENTERTAINING VIDEO

[@trent624]

Keep up the good work brotha. Glad you’re doing it not me lol 🤙

[@edwardquigley9274]

[@swanjaymusic]

[@donaldduncan6017]

You have to take the GOOD, the BAD and the very very UGLY indeed!😂😂

[@JumpermanTech]

I do what I have to do to build myself & my future 💯 No complaints! I like a good challenge but it gets rough at times. Thanks for watching 😂🔧⚡️

[@alexibonnet2634]

Nice job Not sure if you check but probably will have replace other cap on other motor

[@DJV94022]

Never go by someone elses thought, i used to work at a dealership and i used to get told a bunch of times the cars was parked in the back and they most of the time was in the front after that i stopped going by what others say and go by whats best..im in hvac residential and i apply that here as well

[@user-dx4bp8rf1l]

Hermanazo eso es lo que llamamos en mi tierra un GALLO

[@joshuabest100]

Once you go press you won't be depressed 🤣

[@JumpermanTech]

Thats a fact😂😂😂

[@JumpermanTech]

Thanks for watching! 🔧⚡️

[@scottk0623]

Great job. I bet that was cheap 🤣🤣

[@matthewgregory8218]

0:27 wow this is pretty tense. So not all centeral heating cooling are high efficiency furnaces.

[@crazyjoe6679]

I don’t touch those units at all not worth my time. But I appreciate your videos

[@TodoInventosTV]

Huy hermano, a real nightmare a lot of work #todoinventostv

[@frankspliff7037]

Gotta love skyscrapers

[@mwdub02]

I hate apartment buildings, hotels, hospitals in NYC and NJ. Shit was done so it’ll never be serviced again without doing so much work to just get to the units. Just replaced a blower fan motor on a climate master in the ceilings. that cost as much as installing a new unit because we had to uninstall the freaking thing and reinstall it again 😂😂😂.

[@matthewgregory8218]

6:30 I bet that door 6:37 has internet cable to.

[@DJV94022]

Taking that pancake unit out is like taking a motor/tranmission out ona lift

[@mubuzz_nn7609]

What is fire cable doing there 😂

[@shine-cg9uf]

❄️💪🇺🇸👍

[@ronnym1977]

Who is the Einstein who invented these things?!

[@matthewfrohbieter1803]

I would’ve quit.

[@JumpermanTech]

We don't do that around here but I hear you with that 😂 Stay tuned for new videos every week🔧⚡️

[@rodfair5698]

You probably already know this, if you do and I am wasting your time, I’m sorry. But, if you don’t, then it may be of use. When I was going to, or, already into a job like this, I would use VERY ROBUST cardboardish, tag’s with METAL tying. If you can, don’t use abbreviations as they may be like a foreign language to the next guy. BUT, if you are one almighty SOB don’t tag, or label or mark in any other way. Just use your notebook. Just remember that you maybe the next guy. Have fun and good luck
