Nice work, KO plugs are cheap to plug the conduit pipe location for wasps issues, so filling the hole is good and to code by the NEC Electrical Code. My comments are intended to help others and you. Great job 👏 I learned a lot from you Curtis
Im a cable lineman, was attacked by bald faced hornets from a nest the size of a basketball once that was hidden behind our power supply on the pole. I was in the bucket, couldnt run.
I love watching your vids on my lunch breaks. Last Friday I changed out a blower motor on a carrier gaspack had wasp nests in it but didn't notice until it pull the drill on the compressor door.. didn't know I could run so fast.
If i could offer a suggestion, on those carriers, try to cover up the compressor compartment when you check your pressures, those suck a lot of air up to the OFM through the hole in the compressor compartment. Your pressures will come down some, if it is really hot outside your high pressure can trip with that panel off. Also that indoor coil is notorious for having leaks, it is worth a peek to see if there are oil streaks, there is a replacement coil that is tin plated. I did a lot of work in Arizona and due to the sun down there we tried to avoid having those reversing wires exposed, they tent to rot in the sun and expose the wires after a couple years. I am not sure if you have the same issue where you are at. New viewer to your channel, I love your gauges, I got out of the field 10 years ago so i never got to see those.
Pro tip, on your iPhone calculator, you can also type “ 40 - 6% “ and it will show what 6% is, and if you type = it will show you the total. Knowing the formula is always good too, but sometimes it’s nice to have it quick. When I do the math I mess up the equation sometimes and have to do it again to get the right number.
When I was getting complaints about a burning smell inside a dwelling it was usually the fan control board in the air handlers. Just the smell initially but if it was allowed to go on too long, visible smoke and charred wires.
Some of the time the shafts aren't exactly the same length. A rescue motor will have a longer shaft for blower operation as well. But getting it in ballpark range and making sure it doesn't rub on anything is good to me. There is also always a mark on the shaft so you can measure that and just size it up that way. But being precise is always the best
@@acrservicesmathewr7565 The motor he used had a longer casting / length so your shaft marking wouldn’t line up. Really should measure blade end Tip to the lid before removing to match the new motor/ blade height. Or measure the shroud to blade tip before removing and then reset the same
People think I'm weird for having a fan when digging up a water service in a crawlspace or even just replacing a faucet while under a sink.... comfort is key to a happy everything...
I believe the higher amp is for the lower voltage “208“ and the lower amp is for the higher voltage as that would seem to apply to Ohm’s law. Not an HVAC guy, but I do deal with voltage all day.
Man you work 7 days a week and you own your own business I commend you. You make these videos so entertaining and I've been learning and my question to you is I'm 40 years old no experience but do you think it's too late for me to get into this profession? Because I've been in restaurant business my whole life and I'm sick of it. And I never been so fascinated with air conditioner work in my life then when I started watching your videos.
Interesting about your Sears comment. Our local Sears closed down about 2-3 years ago and today the entire end of the mall that used to be Sears has now been torn down, and they are building a Publix grocery store where it used to be.
Nice Sunday job! Coincidence, my Wife bought me a Klein nutdriver set as a gift and the 11/32 was the only size not included. I found out they are sold separately. I bought one to work on a microwave oven and to go with my set. She got it at Home Depot for around $10.00 Amazon sells them too but the Depot was handier and matches the set. Thanks for the Video 😃 🇺🇸
One of the motels for whom I service PTHP's, requested pricing on removing the 5-2-1 from their 5-ton TempStar split, and replacing it with a soft-start system. Until now, I'd only ever installed them on RV's (Coleman or Carrier AC's). With electricity pricing going 'crazily high', I have a feeling that I'll be fielding more requests like this. I'm in central PA, are you guys down south seeing this, too?
That looks like a new blade as easy as it came off. I suspect the old one tore up and someone found one close enough and the motor is over amping and kicking out on thermal hints the burning smell.
Your tap and cap needs to be whichever is closest to power coming from disconnect. Your amps would also be reflected on voltage. If you put wrong cap with wrong voltage you’ll have uneven amp readings on your motor windings.
@@moonlightacmaintenance3232 Are you saying in this instance that it's gonna be 208 volt 1/3 hp, 230 volt 1/6 hp? Or did I read that right? My understanding is try to match the original hp with new hp. Fasco gives motor replacement tips like that. I think max amps on this motor is 1.9. Don't know what the service factor is.
Lowes warranties your craftsman’s tools unfortunately they are made in China now I had that set of nut drivers and I gave it to my youngest son for his toolbox
Bro i have changed my field into freelancing mep hvac design which i had studied extensively with certifications now i don't know how to start my journey as online engineer - like what skills are most sellable in market demand like making revit, autocad drawings drafting or designs, project calculations in ms excel with boq to make profit ? What's better hvac site, design or revit design or total mep work.. What should i start with & how to complete the given work properly could you help me with it in some details...
Do not spray water based into disconnect boxes. Use wd40 or the like on live nests near electrical. It works. I have the same nut driver , from sears, it's my fan motor nut driver.
Those rescue motors are designed to have their own separate run capacitor. One of those brown capacitor wires from the motor is a power feed wire and if you put the wrong one on the dual run capacitor, you can burn up the motor or blow a fuse/trip the breaker because the dual run cap already has a power feed wire on it
There was a tech on You Tube that had a Husky tool with multiple nut driver sizes that included an 11/16. I've tried to find it but Home depot doesn't even list it anymore. I do not like the Klein at all.
