[@Xierfrogs]

Why have i spent 3 hours watching these...I’m a receptionist. But I can’t stop. Watching you work is fascinating. Thank you.

[@jojomorgan8556]

I'm a vehicle technician and have no reason to watch either but I've been binge watching for nearly a week and don't want to stop he's got a gift for the work and it makes it appealing and good entertainment and the info is great (though I do have some experience working with light commercial split air conditioning system from my family's restaurant)

[@HighestRank]

Maybe you’re a hot receptionist.

[@Embermist69]

Could be a calling to a new trade.

[@mark351]

Welcome to the club!

[@jok3yjesu339]

I love the troubleshooting and how he explains it, it is really satisfying

[@anthillmobstars]

At 16 when I started working on equipment my mentor told me. "If you know how something works you can fix it. It doesn't matter what it is. However if you don't know how it works you have no business touching it." I've lived my career by that.

[@edp9743]

dad told me that when I was a kid. It works.

[@matthewmiller6068]

Yep - applies to so many things not just HVAC.

[@russellhltn1396]

There's a point, but I'm not sure as I completely agree with it. I've done pretty well figuring out how things work and then fixing them. You'll see on this channel that there's times he's not sure of all the details.

[@psi23k]

100%

[@danmackintosh6325]

This is largely true, and a good rule of thumb. However, like most "rules" in life, there's always the exception. Some of us learn best by getting "in there" and making our own mistakes, working things out as we go. I qualify this comment by saying, if I don't know how something works, I've no business charging somebody money for my attempts to repair it even if I do just that.

[@natepeterson7145]

It sucks because some customers think you're ripping them off when you have a laundry list of issues that's wrong with their battered down units.

[@prettycureforever7102]

Same. Maybe thats the other reason why they won't replace the heat exchanger and thats bad tbh

[@metaxa715]

It depends on their knowledge as well. If You talk to a tech you can tell what is going on. With huge quote i always represent a game plan for repair with possible routes . I work on farm machinery and it looks like everywhere is similar situation. some people are cheap and other ones think you try to upsell them stuff. I meet some very experienced farmers where smallest deviation from truth wouldn't go well. I am always honest with customers units and truth is the best practice to have. Even if they won't know right from the bat what You said to them at some point of their life they will realize You tried all the best for them. Some people want shit done no matter how costly it is and others want to play a bit with you .

[@JoeMama-jf3zd]

Bring them up on the roof

[@josephkey7935]

Doesn’t help when everyone couldn’t work for almost a year. The years coming up it will get worst for restaurant owners,they will be out of business.

[@Tiaster69]

When dealing with customers with botched units from lack of maintenance that has a list of things wrong, I always give them a route with a price of what it will take to fix it. Usually when they get both options they tend to want new units to save a headache.

[@waynepytlik9166]

Retired at 69 years old but still staying active in the trade taking care of 29 package units at my Church, Love your videos because it was how I trained my techs. Roof clutter was my pet peeve and I told my techs to not only pick up after themselves but make the area better then when they got there.

[@raymiller1383]

I watch this all the way to the end notes, even though this video is now three years old. Fascinating stuff.

[@zuki6901]

I'm retired after 39 years on the front line. I loved my job most days. You need a "3 headed monster". I made a jumper wire with one clip for R and 3 on the other end for various functions. Sure saves on a nest of jumper wires to troubleshoot units.

[@BLOODSHOT-jb9ey]

“Give’em a whole list of things” Honest and Hardworking! Dying breed.. You’re the man! Always have the notepad out! Great Vid!

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud!

[@SuperJeremi10]

@@HVACRVIDEOS man that unit has lived past its prime time for a change out.

[@emailfilters]

I learn something new with each of your videos. I'm still in school, so I enjoy hearing you talk your diagnostic strategies out loud. I especially appreciate your commentary at the end of each project. Many times there are nuggets at the end.

[@Telewaifus]

I have found your channel one month ago and I watch 2-3 videos every evening till they end!

[@salv638]

I just wanted to tell you that I follow and watch your videos all the time. I am a commercial service mechanic in the Thousand Oaks area. I go all over the place and your videos are very helpful. It makes me want to be a better technician just wanted to say thank you for that.

[@mrbyamile6973]

I typically watch until the end. I look forward to your commentary and overview of the job.

[@g13torres]

I love your videos. I am 2 yrs in the industry and learning alot from you then my own work. They like to throw you in the fire and figure it out. Then they complain why is it taking you a long time. Thanks to you I am a big picture guy now. Keep up the good work.

[@scottdickinson613]

I’m slightly late to the video. Good job explaining how to allow the customer to decide. I’m an ex-hvac-r tech who took a cushy inside controls tech job with a major corporation. If I was still in the field and not 2400 miles away you’d be getting an e-mail from me. I was in the business for 30 years, and I still love it. Thanks for the video.

[@swebigmac100]

The most rewarding thing with these vids is not the repair itself but the methology on how the repair progresses. That's whats really interresting. Big picture diagnosis is the correct word for it.

[@Jeepjones85]

Excellent video, I really appreciate the fact you didn’t edit out any of the temporary rewiring you did, lol The way you were harping about trash on the roof and screws missing and just using common sense and kinda do a walk around and look at the bigger picture is how we run our business. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@kensmith8152]

I used to do HVAC when I was younger, glad I got out! Better you than me!

[@illuminusbrandon666]

Watched til the very end. That sequence of operation you’re not lying how crucial it is. You’re one the most thorough Masters that I’m subscribed to! Thank you!

[@renaldonormani6646]

You are like a drug...Can’t... stop...watching!!!!-) I used to use switched jumpers, and always thought to put in fuses ...but never did!-) Love your style and approach, keep em coming!

[@satguy]

I am not in the industry, I just find what you do fascinating. I always watch to the end.

[@sh0gun520]

Why exactly is this in my recommended...? I don't think I've ever watched anything related to HVAC and yet here we are lmao

[@brianpan57]

Always watch your videos to the end. The end summaries are worth the wait

[@gbuss814]

The part I love about your chanel is that you dont edit your mistakes. No offences that is the best teaching right there. It also shows that you are have a ton of integrity. Good job!!

[@jamespatrick2854]

I appreciate your videos. I'm not in refrigeration but I still enjoy, so I always watch the whole video.

[@jamespatrick2854]

I am in residential

[@mikediamond353]

Okay, I watched until the end. I'm the guy that asked why you don't use a fin comb. All my training is residential. Pastor of my church started a food bank, and bought a commercial freezer out of some guys garage for $250. This will be the extent of my restaurant experience, runs but no cooling.

[@brianpower5464]

I watch them all the time. I'm a road driver for a flatbed company I run coast to coast sometimes I get to bring those larger ac units in. But before this job I used to do property preservation for banks and mortgage companys so this troubleshooting is my cup of tea it's interesting seeing different views on how things are repaired

[@davis37mail]

Every video I watch to the end. You're summary at the end clarifies a lot of what you didn't say during the diagnosis. Big picture diagnosis has been my new motto since I found you on here. You're great man, I find trash from other techs in attics and on roof tops and it drives me crazy. I end up usually just cleaning it so they don't think I left it. Lazy bastards!

[@sneaky909]

I watch a lot of your endnotes. Not all of them, but most. I'm a car enthusiast and do *all* maintenance on my vehicles but have no background in HVAC, I just like how you take the viewers along for the ride with you and explain exactly what you're doing. You're an honest dude and I like that. Keep up the videos man!

[@theGerry000]

I do watch most to the end there are a few I don't, mainly if I'm binge watching a few at time. In a past job I used to understand the HVAC system on our Datacentres here in the UK so, I like seeing how much of what you talk about I understand. Thanks for taking the time to make these.

[@johnragusa4820]

Always watch your videos to the end, love when you recap what the problem was and the fix.

[@belowzeros]

I don't usually watch the summaries but I did for this one :)

[@mh0rst]

Most of the time I do not watch your summary, but this time I coincidentally did watch to the end. Very interesting videos, thanks for your insight!

[@brianporter4352]

Hi Chris, I really like your videos. I did watch till the end. I am a 20 year tech with a company in Greensboro NC. We just did a 3 day maintenance job on 40 units for LabCorp. They rent the building, but most of the units are in need of replacing. Anyway the info about sequence of operation was interesting. There are a lot of Carrier units on this roof. Thanks and keep the vids coming

[@hungrynapps]

I don't do air conditioning repairs. But as a elevator mechanic and a electrician ... I jus love watching these videos

[@georgecurtis6463]

I always called it babysitting employees. Although i was in the auto repair business. I was the troubleshooter most of my carrear. Jusr love watching your videos because of your process and work ethic.

[@davidjones6269]

HVACR VIDEOS. I have appreciated your videos, they are very instructive and informing, and I think you do a great job explaining the issues and what you are doing. Every video I have watched, I've watched to the end, I am towards the end of my first year of studying hvac. Thanks!

[@whackstone1065]

Watched til the end. Twice. Sending some positive vibes from ATX

[@robertwood9628]

Retired now but did hvac for over 45 years and I really appreciate your professionalism. Most of my work was on large commercial equipment but also many package units, etc. It is extremely difficult to find service tech's that actually take the time to THOROUGHLY analyze a system and not just replace, as an example, a fuse and not find out what caused it to blow. I also taught A/C for several of those 45 plus years and heavily stressed the "root cause" concept. You do a great job of troubleshooting, cleaning, and taking care of your customers.

[@mionfel1350]

Ever since your videos appeared in my recommended list I've looked forward to your new uploads, just something about diagnosing the problem, taking it apart then fixing it just keeps me coming back.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks so much!

[@pedroguzman9542]

I am an electrician I am learning how you troubleshoot the low voltage control circuit and Power circuit. Awesome

[@slabhunter3072]

Your not an idiot thanks for the knowledge much appreciated I just got into commercial from doing 2.5 years resi and this is helping a ton load not all hero’s wear capes thanks man

[@bradleymorey]

Watched the full video, I may not comment on every video but I definitely appreciate the hard work you put in bringing us great content. Thanks

[@travishalling8439]

Watched till the end. Big picture is the only way to do the job. Having said that I spend alot of time going behind small picture, hack "fixes" companies correcting their disasters. Even more enjoyable when said hacks arrive on site, due to a miscommunication, while I'm fixing the equipment. Today, I pulled 27 wire nuts and about 15ft of wire from a wic evaporator, and the hack couldn't believe I undid all of his hard work. Personally, I have found that I enjoy the standard you set for yourself and find myself raising my own standards for quality service because of that. Thanks for the videos.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Awesome!

[@cruggiere]

Watched it to the end and always do. I am not a HVAC tech but your videos fascinate me.

[@benjamilindqvist912]

It's weird because these are in the small group of videos I actually watch until the end. Just informed as you said :D

[@joaomv6721]

Always watch till the very end. I have learned more on your videos than in the class. Here in Rio de Janeiro I work with small residential ac units. Thank you!

[@550owner]

Watched until the end. Really enjoy your rooftop unit videos.

[@dpwade67]

Watch to the end on all. Vending repair guy here. Went to school for hvac night course just to know just for fun. We repair small compressors but the diagnostic information I learned and continue now to learn just keeps me sharp. Thanks.

[@marioobermaier6911]

Your Speech at the start really touched my Heart as Worker who really care also about His Job and Work !

I did watch it to the end and I'm not even an hvac tech. I'm a copier tech but I like watching your troubleshooting technique. I have tried to incorporate into my work.

[@michaelcave5597]

Watched till the end dude, why would anybody not watch your videos all the way through. 👊

[@jeremythurston4092]

Watched till the end. Love your videos. I appreciate how thorough you are with looking at the big picture diagnosis. Watching your videos makes me a better tech

[@bobybaba5267]

I watch all of your videos to end even it’s about swamp coolers ) it is about 4 years that I do refrigration now and I made so much money from watching and learning from your videos , specially seeing the bigger picture and look at every job like it’s my last job , thank you so much sir

[@sunshineFireIT]

Planting my flag as an end of video watcher, thanks for all the awesome content!

[@timothyjerry2455]

Correct. We’re out to be informative, which in turn creates work, prevents bigger issues and keeps the customers happy. Report all issues!

[@shawnschroeder2]

I watched the entire video and I must say you are an honest, fair and very thorough tech/owner. You do our industry proud. As a distributor, I get business owners. Homeowners etc stating that XYZ contractor said I need to replace the unit and condemn it without troubleshooting. Your "big picture " mentality is refreshing in a world of parts changers and "two guys and a manifold" companies...Bravo. and keep up the great work!

[@FernandoSilva-zd2vl]

I had come to learn and realize so many things since I started following your channel. Your passion in teaching and explaining is greatly appreciated. I wish I was located somewhere close to your area, because I would love to work for you. Please keep adding more content. This is Fernando from Long Island, NY.

[@nethoncho]

I always watch your videos till the end. Thanks for posting

[@bincy69]

I watched until the end, it's been a while since I watched your videos. I am learning how to work with racks right now. I'm doing commercial refrigeration. I really like your videos man you explain really good. But I need to get back to RTUs as well the company I work for we work on them too. I only have a little over 3 months on the field. The technical college I went they only teach you the basics. This is a whole new world. Thanks Chris.

[@BULLBALLS1000]

Watched to the end Usually all of your videos to the end. Learn something that I may have forgotten over the years, or good refresher when I haven't worked on that equipment for awhile. Keep up the good work, keep videos comming.

[@2centsbear638]

I watch to the end on every video, I'm totally locked in to what you're doing during diagnosis. I'm attending trade school, and these videos have been such a great help towards understanding the service side rather than the trainers and book. Really helps to put it into perspective. Keep up the great work

[@KreigsMarine2]

I used to work for Extron Electronics and I used to love working on all those units right in the beginning of the video, and I used to live in Anaheim. I would've probably really liked working for you.But you won't see my butt back in that godforsaken state. I moved to South Dakota in 2015 and I am never going back. My brother moved out of there in 2014 to Texas. And my parents in 2019, also to Texas. We were part of the great California Exodus.

[@tinbasher84]

You have definately inspired me to be a better tech. Up here in Calgary it's often minus 20c with heavy snow, but I think of your videos and still take my time and get to the "what caused it" keep posting. I love it.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

i watch all your videos! its a lot of help. i started working in hvac in October as commercial as a helper and got put out on my own after 3 weeks I have been moving up really fast with the company i work for. i am already running service calls, and doing all my own quotes and work.

[@More350Power]

I always watch your vids to the end as I always learn something from each one. Thank you!

[@thedeadray]

I absolutely watch start to end, I picked up your videos because I'm in HVAC classes. I don't work in the industry yet, and I really want to do commercial. You do a great job explaining what you're doing and why most of the time during the video of the call, and the recap at the end really helps solidify it. Thanks and please, keep up the amazing work! You have an amazing eye for detail.

I always watch to the end, I also like the longer videos. Thank you!

[@colindavis2166]

I'm not a service tech. Don't know jack about HVACR, Okay maybe a few small things. But it's nice to see people out there who actually care about their customers and look at the big picture. Instead of going to the customer like "This is the problem, give me your money" and not fix the underlying issue. We need more people like you who are honest and hardworking in all fields of work. That's why I keep watching these videos.

Being a HVAC Instructor now, and semi retired from the working field since 2018 ( shoulder replaced, with a right hip replacement due to 38 years doing what you are doing ) I can't say I miss this, but on the other hand enjoyed the fact after you get this bucket of bolts cooling...I miss the days standing back looking at the unit and SAY YES! Great Job!

[@ChopFooey]

Great advice about talking to the manager first. I see so many techs act like they knew more than everyone else, maybe so but you'd be suprised how simply talking with the people that use this equipment everyday can lead you to the problem. I can't tell you how many times the dishwasher would point to a cover on the dish machine and say "the fire come out of there", he just saved me a whole lot of work.

[@peterhodgkins6985]

Yep... Watched it all the way through! I typically do unless I get interrupted and lose track of the particular job. I seriously enjoy watching your troubleshooting, learning stuff from you even though I'm old, worn out and retired! lol

[@MovingHeatLata666]

I worked for Johnson controls (York). LG compressors, loose connections, flat circuits, config issues, blower motors and Contactor coils are an opportunity for after warranty billing. But same for Lennox and Trane these days. Big fan! Keep it up brother.

[@wolphin732]

I work in IT as a support tech. I did watch to the end! It too prefer to give the options to the client, as it usually gives better reviews when I let them know the options, and if they want to do nothing now, they can change their mind later and call in and referend the service ticket and it will have their options to continue then.

[@eddiewhaler1]

There is something wrong with you. You Care and turn every rock over. It is no wonder why your company is a success. High End and Low End repair estimate... So important. If they can't afford the Big Pic, at least they can be running. You have a Soul and want to build a relationship rather than "Wham, Bam, Thank You Mam". You show the Shoddy Workmanship of the previous Nit Wit before. Sorry about the ramble but what I have said before, been a Chef for 48 years and have seen mostly all. You're a Gem. You'll always be successful.

Hey Mate i enjoy watching your videos and your breakdown in working out solutions for faulty refrigeration equipment and air handling units for your customers, i can see the workmanship you have compared to some of your competitors in your area is of a higher standard, for instance cleaning up after another technician thats just awesome to see. I like your honesty attention to clean worksites safety and callbacks to check in with a customer on how their equipment is running. I watch your videos to the end. I live in Australia in Western Australia and and our power requirements here are 230v 50 hz for residential and 3 phase for commercial 415v. Great videos keep up the great work.
