Tree trimmer BLEW UP the AC | HVAC | inspection turns to change out

In today’s video, we go to a call in which the tree trimmers or somebody else had somehow cut one of the lines to the main power coming into the house. And what it ended up doing, was blowing all the starting components. Even though this system would start and run I recommended just replacement of components. Due to the conditions and the age, the customer decided to replace the system in the end run. I would assume they will take up the change their insurance.
Hope y’all enjoyed the video if you could smash that 👍 button and SUBSCRIBE!! Appreciate yall 🫡

Watching your videos is like watching myself with more experience 😂😂

[@ReliableHVACR]

THIS! 🤣

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

😂 broooo!! It’s the power of the locks 💪

[@ShortyHVAC]

I swear! 😂

Moving from Gulf Shores Alabama the first main difference is air handlers in the garage ! Took me a while to get use to it. But anything to keep us out of attics !

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

No doubt bro!! Where for the most part were they located in AL? I was use to basements and attics. Love when we get the garages and now the new construction isn’t to bad!

[@tedbell4416]

​@@KoolinwithKrauss I've never understood the obsession with putting them in attics I mean make a closet in the house somewhere if there's no basement anything seems better than attics.

[@noahbaggett9037]

@@KoolinwithKrauss mostly located in attics or center of the homes in closets ! Also a lot of package units . GS is basically like Daytona beach but way nicer so high rises and rooftops . It really is uncommon to see one in a garage up there but now working here I get it ! Sometimes sweat like crazy though

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

@@noahbaggett9037 the sweat is something fierce I’ve been seeing lately. Saturated insulation and all!

Com to start Start to run Run to com should equal the top 2 added together Best thing our high / Trade school teacher taught us back in the day ! Sorry for the triple comment I’m trying to defeat the KZbin algorithm for ya brother

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Dude beat the hell outta it 😂 appreciate you man!! I just couldn’t get a good read with those dang leads, I ended up getting the gator clips on for more secure fitting. 🤦‍♂️

[@noahbaggett9037]

@@KoolinwithKrauss I just bought that Supco M500 Megohmmeter - grainger has them for like $85 worth ever penny. So much easier to test plus you have a visual to show the customer rather than just explaining

[@HVACGUY]

That’s some pretty fast math. Yep 17 years old

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

😅 always makes me feel like I accomplished something 😂

[@scotts4125]

What kind of Armaflex do you use? I'm in So. Fl. and mine is going on 5 years old and looking nasty. I want to swap it out with some good UV protected insulation. I also see there UV tape you can put over it. I want the best stuff out there. Whatcha recommend? Just changed out my 3 year UV bulbs. I needed 4. I have 2 systems with duals. Those 3 years aren't cheap.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

What I like to use is the UV rated armorflex, “k-flex”. It’s much better to the sun we deal with for sure. It’s better than the paint ppl use, and the tape works well just gets dingy looking over time!! You ain’t lying not cheap, but would you say worth it? To have the lights

[@noahbaggett9037]

Oh yeah how you liking the itty bitty van ? I wish they would let senior techs drive the smaller ones

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

It’s growing on me, I do miss the space, and standing up, but adjusting well! Demand the small ones brother 💪 haha

[@markcotter2355]

small van is no good. I'm used to big vans but lately i'm in a f150. liking the truck set up. pull out for the back to get to everything. quite ride.

[@eastcoast186]

👍👏👀🇺🇸💰

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Yoooo cosa nostra 🫡 💪 🇺🇸

[@OnusBones]

What was that gray spew over everything? Did the capacitor vent its bowels? Nice that you got the changeout; pics looked nice.

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Man something fried up pretty good! Had to be inclining, when I cut back the ground it was all a mess

[@mxslick50]

Looked like there was a surge protector or soft start in there that blew up, (the rectangular box he wiped his finger on.)

[@AaronPowellvox]

That fish eye lenses gives me vertigo. So disorienting

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Interesting 🧐 don’t have a fish I lens, it’s my phone, I’m not a fan of that look as much, I try to minimize it as much as possible on my GoPro as well

[@AaronPowellvox]

@@KoolinwithKrauss maybe it’s from you moving around a lot in the beginning. Idk. It threw me off. Love the vids though man! Keep on keepin on!

[@josemartinez-4570]

Why you go to a smaller van ?

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

Better for me with service and driving! And to be able to park in garage is a plus

[@KeshaunLewis-to7td]

do you have your Nate certification or epa certification to do hvac

[@KoolinwithKrauss]

I got tons of Nate hours, have paid for the Nate cert tho, epa yup

[@Balticblue93]

Yes, you 100% have to have your EPA 608 Core and at least a Type II but I recommend Universal. You don’t need NATE certifications, but they will certainly help you understand way more. I have 17 certs, but I am also an ICC G29 Master Mechanical Contractor in Colorado. We don’t have HVAC licenses like electricians and plumbers. One of like 9 states that don’t. But I recommend AC Service Tech study books and videos plus HVAC School in Florida online videos and phone app. The best school I have found for the price is in Oklahoma in Okmulgee Green Country Trade school. Their 1000 hour 10 month course is fantastic. The schools is Denver for HVAC are a joke and just as overpriced as the big companies. Leonardi HVAC school for $2500 is only like 156 hours for $2500. My guys start there unless they have good experience.
