I used to work in Everett Washington, Seagulls loved nesting on the roofs. I was not allowed to mess with them. They are *very* protective of there eggs and young. The Seagulls dive bomb you, yes they actual fly around then swoop down flapping wings at your head and then they deliberately poop as they dive down at you. I had to use old filters to shield myself like Captain America when working on the roofs during nesting season :)

Greetings from Greece, Chris. We use a somewhat different approach in my company for walk in defrost control. The kind of controllers that we use are most of the time the kind with two temperature probes, one for space temperature, and one for coil temperature. We programm a number x for defrosts per day, for y minutes, up to z degrees in coil temperature. I think it's simpler, yet not much less energy efficient, and you don't have to install the controller inside the walk in, but only the probes.

For future reference, you can clean off bird boo-doo with the following mixture. 1 part Palmolive 1 part Baking soda 5 parts water This is a pre-soak. If the mess is REALLY bad and smells HORRIBLE, replace the water with 3% hydrogen Peroxide. This *shouldn't* damage anything, but it will shred apart any organic waste material and dead things you come across with shocking efficiency. The significant acts as a de greaser. It IS important if you use this, you hit it with a specialized rinse before applying the wash. 2 parts Palmolive 1 part Lysol Concentrate 5 parts Water This is the actual wash. The pre-soak cleans very well, but is mainly meant to cut off major gunk, and this actually cleans what's underneathe it. The lyson disinfects. Rinse with water. Your coil cleaner does the job, but this stuff will handle virtually any organic material you throw at it. Shit, this will actually eliminate Skunk spray.

Definitely a master at his craft. I have that same spray. Quick disconnect and A-E for water to soap ratio. Love it. My next purchase is going to be the 100ft hose the stretches and decompresses. It’s so much easier to deal with and takes up a lot less space in the truck. Plus it’s much lighter in weight.

I understand this is an older video! But I’m home with a broken ankle and watching a lot of old vid’s. Doing this shit for 40 years now. I have to admit, I can see the newer technology on larger tonnage RTU’s maybe 20 ton up, but the smaller equipment is a financial disaster for the equipment owner at breakdown. Like in your video, maybe it’s a 15 ton Trane with that ECM condenser fan motor failure. The driver fails and that it. Like this one, Trane had 0 in stock! Warranty system in a medical building, summer time, with the space at 80 degrees. Picked up a standard 1075 460v motor with capacitor and had it operating in 2 hours. Took a month for the factory to get me a replacement! Left the temporary motor in the unit since there are 6 others on the same roof. So much for simplicity! Great video’s

I know pigeons are the "rats" of the sky but they're here and so close because of our ancestors. They used them for messaging and they used to be real close to us like dogs. Once Morse code and the telegram settled in we threw pigeons to the curb and they've been here like this since. It's a funky situation but even Nikola Tesla felt bad and took care of some there at the end of his life.

If i had to bet, i'd say that they blocked the air flow with boxes and that caused the initial ice up and then it went downhill from there...

You can change the defrost termination on the ke2. I think 50f is a good number. Whatever it's set for from the factory isn't good if you've got a lot of moisture or poorly placed sensors.

We use to have big on one building. Dead birds and crap . The dry crap you can get respiratory disease from breathing it . Suppose to be suited and breathing protection and trained . The only way we stop it was to net over the units. Sucks to work on then. Be safe.

WOW !! Your channel is great. Luv the way you lead us through the trouble shooting and the possible faults and causes. I’m just wondering when you will stop doing call-outs and get hired as a professor and produce more professionals like yourself. One of my instructors spent 24 yrs in the field and 9 yrs checking compliance with the city code before teaching at a community college. Listening to his war stories over lunch and in the classroom was so kool. He didn’t miss the call-outs at 0 dark 30 nor working when it was -5 below zero here in Nebraska. He gets to see his family more and do things with them. Much respect to you and work safe.❤️🇺🇸

We run those KE2 Therm smart evap controllers on our walk-ins. They all go into defrost on reset for some reason. Perhaps it’s a programming default.

Crazy birds, they put up with all the noise and stuff, but they do seem to enjoy the heat coming out of the compressors. And I thought cats are crazy enough to feel at home in an industrial boiler room for example.

Until the authorities figures out where he did it then it won't be any trouble since it's probably a local ordinance that states what's permitted. And the effort to figure out where would exceed the profit of the possible fine. Just be aware of PETA - they don't care about jurisdictions. Given the amount of crap seen on HVACs I'd expect that those working with that are immune to most stuff flying around. 🤪
