Looking For Problems And Finding Them!

[@makinbac0n]

Probably a call where the owner was having issues and thought some maintenance would fix it. Which is not uncommon. Sometimes units are beyond help and replacing them is the economic solution. Good work.

[@TomLawson05]

Great job Curtis hopefully Santa will bring them a new unit for Christmas thanks for the video

[@FredD63]

Curtis, I say that about Christmas Eve and Christmas Day too but then I get emergency calls and a way I go hopefully not this year. We’ll see how it goes. Stay safe and have a Merry Christmas.🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼

[@HamBone86]

I’m on call Tuesday and Wednesday as well. Good luck brother, hopefully It’ll be quiet!

[@paulbryant68]

Merry Christmas friend!!!

[@bluesteel48]

Enjoy the Holidays Curtis. 🎄

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks, you too!

[@DevinHVACInc]

Fieldpiece for the win. I love my DR82

[@Bruce19]

Great Video's Curtis, I enjoy learning from you, perhaps on you next heat pump service call, you could go over on your probe placement, piston vs tx. Great video's again, can't wait for the next one, cheers

[@chrisnapier5626]

Great job,Curtis! Merry Christmas!

[@stevencossaboon3237]

Nice work Curtis.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks.

[@harrydickson4575]

Great video 👍👍

[@HVACGUY]

Thank you 👍

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@davidskaggs9914]

Another great video for learning how to go about regular maintenance and assess if change out is warranted. I hope you get some time off. Merry Christmas ⛄🎄

[@bobboscarato1313]

Good video Curtis; Merry Christmas to you and your family...and Riley too.

[@JakePorterHVAC]

I got tired of having to oil my Klein diagonal cutters from trimming bushes with them. I ended up putting a pair of pruning shears on my van years back that I can use one handed. They have come in clutch and I can cut branches that are just over an inch thick too. Holly bushes and roses are a royal pain. People don't consider the service man when setting up their landscaping. Thanks for the video and stay safe out there.

[@bobboscarato1313]

Why should they?; the service people get scratched and hurt! LOL

[@JakePorterHVAC]

@@bobboscarato1313 Lol. Very true.

Bonsai gardening with the HVAC GUY

[@robalexander7348]

Thank you Curtis, Enjoy your Christmas break 🍻 Au

[@helmsajr]

Curtis i like the d82 that's my go to leak detector. Great job.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@OnusBones]

Merry Christmas! I hope this leak detector does a lot better than some of the others you've tried.

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks, Merry Christmas to you too!

[@kens.3729]

That TRANE is DOA and Ready for the R-22 HVAC History Museum. R.I.P. 👍🙏

[@joemartinez-673]

MERRY CHRISTMAS 😎🤟

[@Sctronic209]

Heated diode is the way to go. Same as my H10pm it’s a hound dog on r22. Works great on other refrigerants as well. Not sure about the new refrigerants. For an ir unit that seems to work pretty good. I’ll stick with my H10 for now. I have a infrared detector like the one you fixed on camera lol

[@kitty9374]

I had a no heat call today. Replaced the capacitor and it ran. Got a call again and this time the blower is seized. This is my second time doing a blower motor and it was terrible. Was loud and not blowing air properly. I messed up bad. She decided on getting a new furnace😅

[@Quickstrike1981]

will it be a "Twas a Changeout before Christmas"? tune in next time to find out :P

[@kg4muc]

Might time to put that one on Trane retirement plan 😅. You the wife and Riley have a great Christmas from me my wife Bandit and Mandy 😅

[@Qualityservicesbcs]

You need a knipex twin grip

[@JamesAgans]

Does your PM service include landscaping? I think if put a blurb in there somthing like " Customer is responsible for keeping foliage at least ENTER inches from outdoor unit, and changing filters ENTER. blah blah blah. Merry Christmas Curtis, and thanks for the knowledge and entertainment!

[@HamBone86]

And here I get bitched at for stepping on the hydrangeas😖

[@bobboscarato1313]

I remember long ago I had to use acid to clean a condenser coil and surely it burned some grass around the unit. They called my boss to complain. He told them what to do! LOL

[@ben4061]

DR82 is a beast

[@fernandobazan829]

Great catch might as well condemn the whole system try to sell that new inverter system for sure and tell him to trim the shrubs and explain to customers how those shrubs ruined his system by not letting airflow over it therefore overheating the system etc…. Merry christmas

[@bobboscarato1313]

Very true but I doubt the customer will believe you!

[@KurtWagner-ed6mq]

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

[@jthonn]

Leak is pretty substantial. good find. That Trane has run out of track. I had the old one 36 years ago, it took Katrina to kill it. It was getting rusty but worked like a charm. It's the old saying, they don't make them like they use to. Good video

[@HVACGUY]

Thanks

[@billkunert7281]

They need to make driver sockets with magnets in them.

[@bobboscarato1313]

And then the mfd will use brass nuts! lol

[@chrisnapier5626]

What leak detector are you using,Curtis? Seems to work much better than the Inficon.

[@mikestevenson1819]

What happened to the prowler

[@andrewclarke3622]

Is a heat strip thats controlled by a contactor instead of a sequencer hard on the electrical system? Can it lead to brownouts?

[@bobboscarato1313]

Contactors are a lot cheaper than sequencers.!!!

[@HamBone86]

What is the main difference between the Fieldpiece DR82 and DR58 besides the price? I’m still using my old CPS LS780A and this thing has about had it and I’m ready to upgrade.

[@HVACGUY]

58 is a heated diode, 82 is infrared

[@edwardlowery6510]

rachiting screw diver phase change on condenser side

[@tonyowens6622]

The fan circuit must Be energized before you can check the heat strips

[@jhatfield2755]

Jumpwr white and green sametime on them heatstrips they are weird

[@jhatfield2755]

Nvr mind i see u figured it out lol

[@ssrrocks22]

You just tell people how important it is to keep the plants away from the equipment. Yet they still let bushes grow up and all around, and still don't understand why if falls...

[@bobboscarato1313]

@@everettstevenson2111 No point to tell them. Just charge them more for the job since you'll spend extra time to complete work.
