I love that you switched back to the old intro

[@Sonny_McMacsson]

I was growing fond of the '80s Late-night Cinemax type music myself.

[@Natsumidragneelkim]

I like the new intro more as a outro

[@xiar5546]

I prefer the old intro so much more. Love that quote for some reason.

[@duderino743]

the commute out was a nice touch too

[@Craigcul]

I also like the old intro.

[@jackmen4]

My old install lead used to tell me “ I don’t want to ever see you going down or going up the stairs with an empty hands” And that stuck with me from then on. It’s true!!!!! It’s important to be efficient with your time.

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Every time I have to go to the van, I try to carry something with me that I am done using. I don't like making empty handed trips in either direction.

[@Southpaw-qc9gh]

My very first boss in this trade told me the exact same thing. Don’t go anywhere empty handed. I pass it on to newer hires as well. Love this trade

[@lobehold2263]

Even if all you got is your cock, you better be holding it every step up to the roof

[@typical2195]

About to hit my one year as an HVAC tech mainly doing commercial install. Your videos have helped me on the service side immensely and made me more valuable. I’m finally starting to do more service now and am finding a passion for the trade. Thank you Chris

[@BM-zl7cj]

So dope man. In trade school right now learning the trade and its such a cool industry

[@demonknight7965]

I saw how funky n old looking that time clock was and said "yup he's replacing the clock.

[@FrNMGuy]

Even after the brightener, that condenser still had a hard time letting water through.....dang.

[@ImZyluxOG]

Rack systems are the BANE of my existence… there’s usually always an exhaust fan right next to the coil, the customer won’t let us install a stack on the exhaust so the coil is so impacted with grease it’s insane. Last week I had an emergency call for a WIF on a rack where I chemically cleaned the coil 5 times and it just wouldn’t get all that grease out. Head pressure was exceeding 400psi, so I had to recover like 2LBS of refrigerant just to get the box down to 10°F. Was there till 2am…. We had to go back the next day with the strongest cleaner we could find, that shit will burn your skin off man…

[@randyhamburger-jg5gr]

my old company had an account like this. brand new construction at a restaurant that i referred to as the grease box. the main exhaust is right next to their kitchen RTU and its literally 10 inches off the condenser coil. it cant even run in the summer, the microchannel gets plugged within a week. of course nothing was ever done to remedy the issue.

[@tekjunkie28]

One thing I will point out is that defrost clock is coated in dust. Electronics will act weird and die from dust because it is electricallly conductive. It maybe a little risky brushing or blowing off the clocks with a lot of force but try to keep them clean. Great videos!

[@alext424]

Awesome video Chris! I’m learning more and more from you with each new video I watch. I start trade school for HVACR on Aug. 29th, so every new video you post helps me build on my knowledge. Thanks again Chris! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

That's awesome, good luck in trade school

[@SmallKittyPaw]

11:20 The bang in background was so well timed

[@halverde6373]

Tip a nitrogen tank can replace blowing a condenser out with air. Just be careful or you'll lay fins over worse than a pressure sprayer!

[@jfrancis98]

I love hearing how these videos are helping the new techs to the industry!! You’re always a good example of how we should be as techs. Thanks Chris!

[@kens.3729]

Your Knowledge is Priceless to your Customers and your Viewers. 👍🙏

[@battletank_02]

Greetings from southern Germany, I’ve started my apprenticeship in the HVACR field last September, Voit Videos are helping me to better understand it and just seeing a „field expert“ working is helping me out as well (sorry if my English might not be the best😅😅)

[@rafaelandreano]

I lived in Germany for 6 month’s it was an awesome experience. Greetings from Richmond VA

[@swampasssapper3643]

Can you plug the holes next to that time clock? Seems like a bunch of airflow going through them with dust bunny muck junk building up on the components there.

[@user-hj5le6lo9w]

Your mantra of looking at the big picture proved to be key in handling the situation once again. I share it with the guys I work with and tell them to watch your videos. Keep them coming! 👍🏼

[@Craigcul]

Another great video yes the sacrifices that you make when you run you own company. Those time clocks always look funny to me the way they mount everything on an open PWB I would have thought that they would put them in a case to stop dust getting into them.

[@IcebergZim]

I always admire your expertise and professionalism in troubleshooting. Keep up the good work Chris.

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

I appreciate that

[@carloshilarionvazquezaranda]

I liked the new intro🤔. Anyhoo, the best advice you gave in this video was, "I know sometimes you just want to cut corners and just blast through the job, but that's when the biggest mistakes happen. 🤔" Thanks Chris 👍

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud

[@lard379]

great vibes

[@sharkey086]

I didn't work HVAC, but can emphasize on being on call. Great troubleshooting and hopefully you didn't upset the wife too much!

[@volactic8495]

11:25 It's always funny when you turn something on and you hear a lound clang somewhere.

[@jakepeoples9238]

I would have loved to see the back of that defrost clock... I see lots of broken/cold solder joints on the outputs of relays. Obviously I wouldn't solder it back if i had a replacement but I have done it in the past to get by.. 😉 Good job as always! You do an awesome job!

[@nkystevep7007]

I am not in this trade but I love watching the videos because of your work ethic and the way you diagnose problems which could be translated to other types of jobs

[@jasonjohnsonHVAC]

I love working on semi hermetics. Any compressor i can rebuild, im a fan of. Not hating on a scroll....but its a one and done type. Turning wrenches is peaceful. Another great video Chris

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Thanks bud

[@jcc3279]

Chris, I swear one of these days we need a collab video with Nor-Cal Dave and yourself running some calls together in your neck of the woods Chris. I would love to see that happen someday. Otherwise great job as usual.

[@davidmorrow6571]

Dave could hop on his Harley and cruise down the coast. Maybe he can strap Tippins on the back of his hog. 😂😂

[@halverde6373]

Service tip* An air compressor just with air to blow condenser out should be first choice. Then air with stoddard solvent pickup tube, then water then chemicals when grease is involved. Triage.

[@markseneca7510]

You had the patience to video on call you got more patience than me.good video

[@billlaporte8255]

LOVE watching your vids man, thanks for making them.

[@joshua.sookoor2025]

Nice video chris! Love ur videos! I learn alot from you from watching these videos, i want to be an HVAC Technician when I grow up! For now I draw these units that you work on!After some videos I went & researched some of the units in your videos! I even learned how to use measurequick from your videos! I also make videos on HVAC, just filming them! Sometimes I make model acs and I play like the unit is real & input info in the measurequick! That was compressor sounds like dirt, iam actually just 12

[@pedrojardim325]

Hi. Chris. Thanks for. The video. And. The. View. That was cool stuff. 😅

[@jamnben278]

The fans were off because it was stuck in defrost. Good find, I had issues with a Paragon not going into defrost the other day and the coil was icing over.....

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

the fans were off because the evap is warm,defrost terminator,keeps them off.the problem was the high pressure switch,triping,due to dirty condenser coil.but the timer was wonky.

Why did you not fix the defrost timer first seeing that the evaporator fans were not operating. What led you to doing the condenser cleaning first?

I’ve got to give you some shit. That was a big ass compressor.😅😂 25hp is getting bigger.

Chris, I saw CaptiveAire posted a new video a couple days ago claiming they had a unit that could last 25 years, it looks like they use a lot of non standard parts though. I was wondering what you thought about these units, I don’t work in HVAC but watch a lot of your videos and was curious if you thought they were any good.

Good vid chris! Are you still looking for techs? 😎

[@HVACRVIDEOS]

Yes

[@bwcnation]

Question I have is there a reason the cooler evaporators shut down the fans during defrost? Is it because of the style evaporators? My fans typically stay on but are fan forward evaps not downward like some of my old stores. Also was that clock as dirty when you replaced all the contactors? That one looked rough.
