2 No A/C Service Calls that were fair and easy to get back up and going. #hvac #bluecollar #airconditioner #servicetechnician #techlife #hvacmaintenance #hvacrepair #hvaclife #hvacservice #fieldpiece
I hear you say I could've done more and I can appreciate your dedication but nothing lasts forever and old units need to be replaced. I always tell my techs to find the immediate problem and get it running. If the unit is in disrepair, bring it to the home owners attention, write it up and move along. For the price of a service call people will let you spend hrs and then complain about the bill.
I agree with you whole heatedly. I just say that for the few people who like to hop in the comments and say "how come you didn't check this or that?" Which to a degree I understand where they're coming from. An informed customer is the best customer however what I've found with these rental properties is they don't give a poop and just want things running as cheaply as possible Just like that last unit, it's from the early or mid 90s I believe, and we've replaced basically everything, compressor was just done about a year ago. And I did the condenser fan before that. If I'm called out here doing the winter this year I'm definitely using my combustion analyzer to make sure it's still safe to run
@AB_HVAC ok I get it I didn't know the history and dealing with management company's are a whole different animal. I have 5 service tech that work for me and I wish they all had your passion for getting it right. Keep up the good work and I'll be looking forward to your next upload.
@sofalvr thanks for watching this one ✊🏽💯🔥 I just try to keep the same mentality my mentor taught me in Michigan dealing with homeowners. I've had to adapt coming down to the south and dealing with management's but I still try to be thorough when I can
i like how you do good work but i don’t like to check pressures on the system if its a package unit just because its a weighed in charge as long as its got a good split i wouldn’t check charge good work tho
that's a typical "guys who install titanpro capacitors" install you found there. Unit is off and you already have a 6 condenser temp split, haha! wow thats efficient!!!
Jeez, If it's not one thing it's another! Nice work!! What's your opinion on those package units vs having the compressor outside and air handler inside? Just curious b/c we don't see/have many of those in my area. Thanks!
@@AB_HVAC Yeah, that's what I thought... no having to go inside and then back outside to gather all that info. And no air handler to deal with up in a hot cramped dark attic. Thanks for the reply!
Awesome video brother. Get feeling better. I do the same on capacitor for compressor ill go 5 higher and on fan side i put in what it calls for i dont go higher....thats how they show us in school. 🤟💯🌎
Bro that's so odd. In Michigan I was always taught to only go higher on fan motors not compressors. I've even used higher mfd on fan motors to sometimes free them up
AB that first unit was so old you should have told those people to take it back to the Smithsonian Institute where they got from. 1997, man please! Don't have a second thought about deep diving on that one.
My personal r22 heatpump was installed January 1997. On my 3rd condenser fan motor, my second blower motor, a couple of capacitors, and yesterday when it was 94F outside, it's doing 19.7F delta T...
Bro you are so wrong about that one, first of all your just the typical go into a no cool call and say immediately if it’s a unit older then 15 years this unit isn’t worth fixing and give the customer a quote to fix it like bruh that’s not the way to run a business you should come into a call with all intentions of fixing your customers unit but if you run into a problem that really can’t be fixed or isn’t worth the money to fix than that’s that but your attitude right now about this is pathetic you should be ashamed of yourself with that work ethic attitude.. sir don’t listen to him you should try to fix every unit unless it can’t or isn’t worth the money to be fixed old units actually work much better than new ones and we’re built to last so…
I'm in a market where we literally can't bid out for changeouts every call lol no matter the age. The only time I truly bid for changeouts is if it's severely sized wrong, bad compressor, or cracked heat exchanger. As well I'll still send an option to replace the compressor or heat exchanger
I was told the other way you can go up or down 5 on compressor but not on the fan I try not to do it anyways cuz the next guy won't know I went up or down then he can think he can go down 5 again not knowing
