100% agree, always start at the tstat, then move to the unit. You will find out if the unit is in off mode or if the tstat has power by doing so and then you can go from there. The biggest other tip for newbies is to start with simple problems and work your way up, it is usually something simple. I learned that in 16 years of doing it and waisted plenty of time when I first started not looking at the basics first. After a while you will notice things just by sounds and what you see happening and can pretty much figure the problem out. Also, anyone doing this in the heat of summer, get a cooler with water and ice in it, use a rag and put it over your neck. It can save your life. It can keep you from having a heat stroke. Stay cool and get off the roof when you need to.

That's not corrosion on the display board it's just flux from assembly and the loss of settings could that not be a dead battery...? As daft as it sounds I had a £10000+ oven that was locked out because the clock battery was flat... you couldn't even clear the fault to use the oven,, ? quality software design....

@throttlebottle5906 11 месяцев назад
he said he checked the cr2032 and it was ok. but I do wonder if he actually pulled it out to check it. being into computers and electronics, most of them will unload the coin cell battery making it read higher and often show full voltage from the positive side to other board grounds, when powered on, as they supply the chips directly to not run the battery down as fast. they can fool you that way. also 3V is the nominal voltage of them, brand new and very light load they're usually closer to 3.3v and I have seen some memory backup devices start flipping out by 2.9V(no load tested). they really need load tested for a few seconds with appropriate sized resistor. say 100 ohm for 2 seconds and voltage should maintain above roughly 2.2V, but even that's low for high pulse drain items. if the voltage tanks to 2.0 or lower the battery is pretty much fully spent, but they'll often read 2.8 to 2.9v still! it's really easiest to just replace them if even slightly suspected.

Note: CR2032 batteries sometimes display around 3V open-circuit under no load, but will sag to almost zero when the tiniest load is applied. You cannot trust a voltage reading on them. They're cheap as chips, so if there's the slightest chance they might be a problem, better replace them.

Based on all the videos I have seen, I think it's time that the restaurant employees get a basic 10 minute rundown on walk-in operations and how to use the thermostats. They're ruining their equipment for no reason because folks don't know how it works.

Kitchens produce a lot of heat. And some restaurants are pulling their AC out of the building via their ventahoods above the grill. I saw a restaurant that was connected to a gas station. Gas station always had their AC temp set high and so would rob the restaurant of their AC that way.

Hey been watching for a while now and kinda new to HVAC, I was hoping someone might give some tips on how to verify you're working on the correct AC when you're working alone in commercial with a bunch of split systems. I ran into it today and when between 3 floors 10 times. Anyone have a good way to match a air handler to a condenser fast
@zaccody6980
@zaccody6980 11 месяцев назад
What I would do is kill power to the air handler thus killing 24 volts and then I'd go around to ever condenser and find the one that doesn't have low voltage. Then u turn it back on and go confirm u have 24 volts at the condenser agin.
@coolingexperts1580
@coolingexperts1580 11 месяцев назад
Not for nothing but my Approach would have been I need to go to the roof anyway so I will check to see if I have 24 volts upstairs calling before I start going downstairs to a thermostat of course on the meet-and-greet I will look at thermostat visually and confirm that it is on and calling
