No Cooling! - Multiple Problems

[@anthonyconnelly8968]

I can't believe all the lousy installs and substandard work you encounter, I guess you'll always have plenty of work! Nice work, a real pro.

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Curtis.

[@garrettmandujano2996]

Nice video. I wonder why on the last repair they stuck on the extra capacitor

[@biblebloopers946]

Curtis needs to come up with a tshirt that says, "I'm fixin to" Gotta love that he says that in every video. That is his catch phrase

[@Ricoswavaey]

😂

[@leonardlewis5586]

That's a great catch phrase and company name 🤔

No It's actually something all of us southerners say.

I just bought the M12 impact and I love it. Way better then my dewalt

[@Mm-om9ol]

How so

[@williamtayson2733]

@@Mm-om9ol Just a great drill. Smaller and light weight. Love carrying the m12 up in attics way better then my dewalt. Also, In my opinion just as powerful if not more powerful then my 20v dewalt.

[@FalloutGenius1]

@@williamtayson2733 I agree, I carry a m12 from like 4 years ago and it’s been through a war and back with the scars to prove it. I also have a makita hammer drill for drilling and sheet metal cutting. The m12 is my go to for service because of the lightweight and battery life

[@FXDLS-ot1wq]

You know it’s going to be good when Curtis starts with his patented “ohhh my word…”

I tell people to spray wee-grass killer around their outdoor units that way they don't have to mow and throw grass in it plus it cannot grow into it either... If not you get what you had to deal with, or full of grass clippings, or vines even growing into them.. I have seen it all man... Stay safe bro, keep up the good work. Adam

[@throttlebottle5906]

careful suggesting that, because it's most always highly corrosive to metals and most will spray everything, including the unit, wiring, piping and more. it can be as bad or worse than animal/rodent urine.

[@ICONBADGTA]

@@throttlebottle5906 If they are so dumb as to spray the unit then that is on the customer.. Misuse.

[@clayevans3421]

From those wires on top of the condenser it looks like a generic motor. I like to designate a replacement motor with it’s own capacitor. I know you can wire them to a dual, but that’s just me.

[@bryansimon4072]

The joys of old units!

at 6;40 is a gas and go,sealer and leak lock on service valves and new caps.have a nice day.

As service techs…we seem to be therapist and a friendly face people want to talk to However. Sometimes it’s best to say as little as possible so people can move on and not be a distraction

Im so proud of you for getting a Milwaukee m12. Drop in replacement refrigerate should be outlawed

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

Gotta love the stories the older generation tell. Quite entertaining

[@markbeiser]

I wonder if whoever did the refrigerant swap from R-22 bothered to change the valve cores? Not doing so pretty much guarantees that they will start leaking in short order.

[@Berzerk29]

Using an M12 now, where's the Makita?

[@mikewhittaker5984]

Milwaukee?

As Clint would say. Milwauka-I-A

[@leeb.7188]

The unit looks like it’s sitting on the dirt with no cement pad. Is that to code?

[@HVACGUY]

There’s a pad. It’s just old

[@chris76-01]

The pad is buried under decades of overgrowth and neglect. Lol.

[@5822huron]

No video for that in Ga

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

I was going to say your due for your own merchandise. The stuff you say when your a tech. Whenever im dealing with rough equipment i just sigh and start cursing at it. Then talking gently once its running. Great video

I don’t understand why people will install the service side on the hardest part to get to in the attic

[@jrsmyth9761]

[@bobgallo3775]

Don't blame you for not climbing.back to the air handler. There is a patio home development near me that is situated the same way, one of the units would require the a/h to be disconnected from the ductwork to replace the blower motor.

[@Ajax2341]

Are you mixing r-22 with r 422b?

[@HVACGUY]

Not that I know of. There was a 422 jug in the attic, so I was assuming that was what was in it

[@emmaa427]

Hi Curtis, how did you decide the capacitor needed to be replaced? Did you measure the capacitance ?

[@khx73]

The capacitor box bandit struck again...

[@chris76-01]

I'm hard working, drug free, never in trouble and willing to learn and yet everyone else seems to get promoted before me. I think it's because I do such a good job, they rather just keep me doing what I've been doing? Lol.

[@HVACGUY]

I worked with a fellow being utilized as an installer. Did a great job, went through tech school, and requested to mov to the service department. He was also drug free and hard working. They refused to move him because he was doing such a good job. So, he left and is now - 15 years later - the service manager at a rather large company in town. Sometimes a company doesn’t know what they have and they don’t seem to care

[@hinspect]

Be glad they don't move your company to California

[@5822huron]

You are a dime a dozen.. How many years experience?

[@drodriguez394]

Did you just at 422B right in top of r22?…. Lol we have a chemist on our hands.

There was an R-422 jug in the attic. So, I assumed that’s what was in it.

Run cap bandit- 😂

[@davidcarlson1206]

Hey Curtis can you add the 422B on top of R22 or do you have to remove the R22 first

[@HVACGUY]

None of them are meant to be mixed. But, it has been done successfully

[@mansourramzey7711]

That would help a lot if the homeowner would be not start a conversation and let the technician concentrate on the job, it is not the time to Bring a conversation till the job gets done. He should clean around the condenser instead of bla bla bla..

[@gamewizardks]

Yes. This is frustrating with customers sometimes. Agreed.

[@alannewsome1729]

How the heck did they get that air handler up there anyway?

[@gamewizardks]

I usually change out contactors wire for wire unless I arrive at a unit where the wires have already been removed or are in the wrong place from a previous tech or a customer that attempted to repair their own unit. (Both rare situations) If I have to trace wires, I do, but I don't need to take the time to label or memorize when I do it this way. That's what works for me and takes the least time. Glad you noticed the issue before turning it on. Great video.

its a shame the city inspector doesn't offer them ( the idiot that left the caps in the boxes) a fine or license suspension for a year for that cap in a box disaster.

[@natepeterson7145]

Those air handlers that are in a stupid place drive me nuts. There should be a law if you install something like that, that you have to service it.

a leaky low

[@dmc31405]

Leaving the capacitor in the box makes it last longer. :) I like that trick device you have for swapping schrader valves under pressure. You should try and get accredited and offer one or two students at the time OJT, with the goal to become certified AC Tech's. You could grow your company and do it with reliable people.

[@hinspect]

I haven't seen that done before

[@markbeiser]

Every HVAC tech should have at least 2 of those core removal tools, more if they also work on VRF and/or mini split systems, as most of them have 5/16" ports. Not just for replacing leaking valve cores, also greatly speeds up refrigerant recovery and system evacuation.
