Bro I've been doing a/c & refrigeration for 20 years. You are definitely a super tech. We all have ways of doing things in the field, but for you to show the new people and explain why, definitely makes you one of the best out there. Love to meet you because their are times I run into things I struggle with, and having someone like yourself to call , would definitely make the job easier. I do hot and cold sides in this industry, but still get stumped on stupid things, almost like I'm overthinking the issue. Your videos are amazing. It should be mandatory for the new guys to watch your videos.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Thank you Jessie

[@lucianocruz2975]

concordo com amigo. 😳

Nice to see a legit outdoor unit. All the indoor ones with doghouses look kind of hack lol.

Welcome to CA there everywhere

[@danwittels5542]

KZbin Police! Officer Super Tech here! ;-) A tip a roofer friend of mine gave me, always use the rungs, never the rails when you climb a ladder, that way if the ladder kicks out from under you, you won't crush your fingers. And yes, you'll still smash your face in and bust your ribs, but at least you'll be able to take a piss without help. Thanks for all the great videos this year! Happy New Year!

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Great advice

[@Artisan.HVACR1]

Nor Cal, from one licensed HVAC/R skilled tradesman to another, this video shows the tedious, meticulous, detail-oriented aspect of the HVAC/R skilled trade. Very good job and I'm posting this comment before I've viewed the entire video, 3/4 of the way through it. The detail of it caught my attention.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Thanks Tyrone.

[@calvindiehl9695]

Dave I've got 7.5 yrs in the hvacr trade between the first 2 yrs of my entry to the trade to now five an a half going on to 6 years theres nothing better than hoping on KZbin an checking on my man nor cal Dave you remind me of me father-in-law the man who thought me the trade doing the largest 1 man band largest commercial reefer outfit in the fl keys since 78

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

That’s awesome Calvin.

[@calvindiehl9695]

I wish I had some content but atm iam only dealing with residential a/c service an install but sometimes watching your videos its literally me and my father-in-law he could say hi an beer time in Spanish and of course me being younger sn taken Spanish in school I was semi fluen then all I hear myself say was Oye Qué máquina es no trabajando ahora.

That song is programmed in my brian. " I'm a super tech"...oh yeah.

[@mattn6936]

I've learned a lot from watching your channel. You are as thorough as anyone can be. As an apprentice years ago, my boss was a stickler for details - you remind me of him. As a Jouneyman, I never stop learning - nature of the beast. I kind of wanted to point out that ,at least in NY, OSHA will fine us for not anchoring our ladders at the top with a bungie or something - just an observation. Keep 'em coming - I look forward to your vids :)

[@garypoplin4599]

25:54 - It may seem counter intuitive, Dave [adding to restrictions?]; but, I have to use the 90° fitting out of my TruBlu kit on refrigeration “just for such times as these.” No prob. 32:47 - I love my VP87 but I would totally buy a new one if they designed the spout on the bottle and drain to be near one end instead of right in the middle. It would be much easier to pour (similar idea to the offset tops on quart bottles for your automobile.)

[@uxwbill]

Here at the Retirement Home for Electrical Test Equipment, I have one of those first-gen digital Amprobe clamps. Still works great and the calibration in all test ranges is spot on -- the previous owner took outstanding care of it. I've never pulled a vacuum through my core removal tool (C&D Valve), so no idea if it leaks...I'm not yet brave enough (and also aware that my life is a comedy) to pull vacuum through dedicated hoses.

[@EverythingHVACR]

Easy start up after fixing everything sparky did wrong! Keep up the good work!

[@christiansommer914]

I always put units in so they point north south, because the wind here normally comes from east or west. And if it's windy and your condenser stands directly in the wind, there is a chance the fan will Amp out.. Nice video.. True pro at work

[@markcaldwell1245]

Great video with lots of good information. Nothing like buying some expensive hoses that you have to assemble and then they wont work, lol. The basic black 3/8 yellow jackets have always worked well for me. Gives you time to clean up and cram down some lunch. Good job, enjoy the day.

[@hvactechpr7872]

[@balokurd17]

Little tip about bout this vac pump : there's a little gas ballast (lever with a red led). At the beginning of the vacuum, you should open it (red led), then close it after a minute. It's gonna prevent the first big amount of moisture being in contact with your oil. (Adsorption).

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Great stuff Dave! Dude I have been getting so frustrated with the Appion and the Tru Blu vacuum core tools, they are all leaking from the damned ball valve handles! Interesting about adjusting the 448a valves I have yet to have any issues and have actually been surprised with how I haven't had to adjust them.... go figure anyways Happy new year and hope you had a nice Christmas bud!!

[@daveg8918]

I was going to say the same lots of leaking on the ball valves and also I have yet to adjust a walk in cooler txv but every freezer I have had to adjust.

Merry Christmas 🎄 I’ve only done 4 R448a systems so far all low super heat if I remember right. Someone needs to invent the core tool of all core tools.

[@kscgaming5857]

I have never seen so much oil go bad in running vacuums in hvac/r only with this on the go oil change field piece equipment, makes me wonder if the plastic pieces they use for the oil reservoirs are to blame for leaking and absorbing moisture. Also it would help the manufacturer sell more, "reccomended oil", and its all about making money in the end. Any feedback from people who have been using this type of vac pump recently fo last few years.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Interesting

My Dad had one of those Amprobe clamp meters with the red led displays, must have been back in the 80's! Similar issues with the Smurf boner, think they do a 90' fitting which might be helpful but will wait to see if we can import things here next year!

[@daveg8918]

Hey Dave why can’t you come thru a roof penetration in seal tight? I see it done all the time in the Midwest. Also that electrician should’ve known code requires a outlet on equipment within 50 ft. Big miss on there part.

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Pretty sure it’s code.

[@markcaldwell1245]

Here in Oklahoma it is the same because that flex crap breaks down and has to be replaced so code went to rigid penetrations only.

[@daveg8918]

I will have to look up the neca code. But I must say a lot of commercial electrical outfits here do not follow that code.

[@HVACRSurvival]

@@daveg8918 we see it all the time here in Ohio without many issues.

[@TheJordanwright]

How do you feel about people charging refrigerant to the maximum charge via the installation manual? Personally I find it lazy and inno way practical other than overcharging the customer

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

There’s proper ways to charge systems not all the same. Package units take a specific charge easy as pie. Systems like this there is no specific charge other than receiver size line set size and length.

[@HVACRSurvival]

@Jordanwright So your just charging to a full sight glass and done? That won't work in cooler climate. A extra pound or two shouldn't be considered a screw job unless you liked going back for free.
