HVAC Service Call: York RTU Not Cooling (Broken Bearings & Squirrel Cage Fan Blade) Rooftop AC Unit

[@whoisderf]

These are the type of customers you walk away from. Regardless of the cost and availability, that’s a unit replacement or nothing. Literally quote it, get the autograph and the check, order the equipment. Once that’s agreed upon, get them running until the equipment ships.

[@andrewwithers4843]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing, that unit is a total wreck. I think I would have walked away and told them it needs replacing. Good on you for taking it on and getting it going again. Recently discovered your channel, always an interesting watch from here in the UK.

[@simonwielinga5236]

astonishes me the things you have to repair in a big city where its not easy to just get a new unit in

[@rickcoulson9217]

45 years in the commercial/industrial HVAC world and you my friend work on some of the crappiest equiptment i have seen, lol. good luck on this one, and yes i have seen this exact situation before.

[@peterking1134]

I would have declined the job after seeing the Freon containers strewn inside the condenser.

[@alexibonnet2634]

Walk away, walk away. Would have never touch it after seeing this Hack

[@jorgeespinoza238]

Glad you didn't walk away from this one man. Awesome content good sir

[@magosauxilliarusy2k4theomn98]

hope he gave the owner a good reaming out for the condition this was in.

[@WswRefrigeration]

Fun job on a weekend. Love the Seinfeld clips . Best show ever imo

[@chefeatsher]

Dude you be rolling up onto the most hack jobs ever. Kudos to you still having the perseverance and integrity to do a good job. Honestly very surprised that whenever the indoor fan exploded into pieces it didnt puncture that evap coil.

[@bb3283]

Sometimes I will come into work and realize the power surge over the weekend caused some of the units to trip. Chillers will say that they’re on, but the drives r tripped out; gotta reset a lot when it happens. Usually the main fault for my issues. Love ur vids!

[@thesilentonevictor]

Man you made this like butter

[@oldmetalguy4577]

Holy crap! I know I'm 8 months behind, but holy crap! Runaway!

[@moga2500]

Great video man, keep posting videos like this ones. We appreciate what you do.

[@izzybell11]

JMT great video. Thanks for shearing. Hard job. God Bless you. 🥇

[@ToothPasteLOL]

underrated youtube channel, good video, great advice

[@robertdavenport9095]

Another great video. This is a crazy YORK unit. You did a excellent job. I’m getting those sanding attachments super cool. Look forward to your next video.

[@chefeatsher]

Those disc are commonly referred to as "pearl discs" or "flapper wheels". Regularly used by welders, and pipefitters.

[@robertdavenport9095]

@@chefeatsher yeah that’s exactly what I was told when I got mine.

[@hvac-r977]

How this passed the inspection 🧐?

[@rafaelgomez4304]

I'm surprised you even touched that unit. Jesus what hack job of a unit.

[@Novusilluminatus]

It's probably the customer who doesn't want to pay for a proper fix or repair. Those condenser coils brand new are at least 5k each.

[@Toebex]

Shit looked like it was about to disintegrate from a light breeze, can’t believe you managed that. Super impressive video. It’s a beautiful thing!

[@samuelaranda4597]

Young man! You need to learn how to walk away! Let this be someone’s else’s problem. You did such a good job you got a Mistress now. That customer going to keep calling you for that crap

[@joshuabest100]

I wouldn't touch that with a 10 foot barge pole

[@arielhernandez2911]

Dang gotta tell the helper to wear those glasses I had some stuff blow back and get in my eyes I learned my lesson

[@rruizproductions]

You knew you can fix it and did. Great job!

[@slamdvw]

Looks like that blower wheel was already swapped before you got to it... looks like about 2 inches or so smaller than the openings of the housing. wow... what a cluster!

[@ChingusTheOneAndOnly]

Great video man ! love the commercial content! You won’t hurt my feelings if you had left the blocks holding the fan up .

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

OK you got your #GDT (God Dam Technician) card on this one. I would have walked away. This video taught me to think simple and make a plan. 20 minute video but looked like 6-8 hrs work. All that withoutnyour tool set up. I hate when your van gets broken into. Had it happen once. I make offerings to the HVAC Gods that it doesn't happen again.

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

This is also why i never buy used tools on the street. If its in the package OK. 🤣

[@rafaelgarciaperalta8831]

Are you working for a company, or you have your own company?

[@nicolerennie]

🤯🤯🤯😱😱😱 that was crazy. amazing work but sheesh!!!

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Super makeover! Quite the job site. Those sanding discs are the cats’ ass. Bravi, ragazzi 👏🏼

[@antoniobaez6282]

Surprised you didn't find some bats roosting in there Jumperman!

[@leetnessgaming9751]

Where was your socket 12-1 tool screw driver thing?

[@mrbugenhagen3364]

It´s been a long time since I laughed so hard but this unit takes the price for sure 🤣

[@joshperez7731]

You see some cray shit bro , I would've quoted a new system as soon as I saw the condensers attached.

[@jamesmcevoy1274]

What the heck is with the condenser on top of condenser???? You get the craziest locations.

[@jamesmcevoy1274]

Cant wait to see what they come up with for heating….

[@Terry_Ng]

custom option design ..... but easy to replace service in the future .

[@leightonsharpe2660]

The fan wheel is too small but ok in the situation.

[@jaedenspider877]

whoever install those condensers on top of that unit is probably making it a thousand times harder to work

[@rhpham2]

What a fun job. They got lucky transformer tripped or that unit be on fire without all the safety. Good vid

[@chaddarr4834]

I’ve seen that once crazy

[@kennethlobo4420]

Ghosh! U get the toughest jobs.

[@dannymoreno03]

Why u don't change the unit...and I wonder how much u charge it...let us know

[@dennissantiago3271]

Just another day in nyc

[@leetnessgaming9751]

I talked to a local tech and they started him at 12 dollars bo certain or experience and 16 and gave him his own van. That sounds super low pay?

[@67tr876]

Dude walk away and say no. That is just no

[@thesilentonevictor]

What a mess hmt I would turn down this job only if you doing the complete installation

[@mk366a]

That unit was a beautiful piece of engineering lmao

[@ausseamore8386]

Great job

[@c21meister]

What the hell kind of back alley throw together unit was this?

[@bigdaddy4975]

That’s the biggest hack job I’ve ever seen unbelievable.

[@frankspliff7037]

The stuff you will find

[@eduardosaurez530]

I’m an HVAC technician off of Miami and that has to be the craziest unit I’ve ever seen lmao. Where do you live?

[@antoniobaez6282]

I think he is in New York, New Jersey area.

[@milo6373]

Skyline has a few tanks on top , big scrapers be don't look familiar...

[@jhill.7216]

Yeaaa fam this one gotta go 😂!! Just throw the entire unit away

[@eliseomedina929]

Hey where you located you own your own business or work for someone

[@abdullah_q8171]

Nice jop 👍🏻

[@renj6531]

If you Detonated a grenade in that unit I honestly couldnt imagine the aftermath being worse than what I saw here

[@MindzEnt]

How does anyone walk up to this disaster and say "I can fix it!"??? Wft bro that's either new install or im walking away. If my company caught me working on this I'd probably be yelled at.

[@wd8557]

I walked away from a job like that once, and called the city.

[@PedroGarcia-zl2ec]

It’s China town ? 😀

[@Kingnadeer_333]

💪🏽💪🏽

[@joshhodges5688]

At some point you might want to stop and just replace it.

[@swanjaymusic]

We do what we have to do some times and just keep it moving.... I hate NYC....

[@stephwaylonwells3218]

👍

[@matthewclemons1574]

Fuck that noise, im all about trying to service the customer but they clearly need a new unit.

[@felix945]

Damn, where the f is that installed?

[@moonlightacmaintenance3232]

I wouldn’t put my name on that.

[@gr33n83]

Frankenstein unit. Only in america

[@rocker8692]

You couldn't pay me to live in New York City.

[@MindzEnt]

No different than any of the big cities in the US, in fact it's alot easier to get around in NYC with all the subways which I wish more cities had.

[@mansourramzey7711]

That was what 4000 dollars job?

[@sherwinalvarez7365]

5K. All kinds wrong with this. SMH. The things you see in NYC Boggles the mind. We not even talking about electric.

Junk 😂

[@TheColinputer]

Im only 3min into this video. And man that whole setup looks like its out of a 3rd world country. The hacked up units, disconnects hanging off the wires. Just whole looms of wire hanging off the walls. Utter crazyness

[@GriffinCorreia]

I think this has got to be the worst RTU install I've ever seen. So much sketch
