The one thing I would be wary of, because of the unit turned off, is the possibility of the owner turning it off to see how you respond and if you are being honest. Things like that happen.

@moehoward01 2 месяца назад

Not just HVAC. I had a guy bring me a computer to have some kind of upgrade done. When we got it on the bench, it wouldn't power on. We called the guy and he says "Well, it worked when I brought it in." Thereafter, we insisted doing a quick power-up in the customers presence.

Great video, but just one comment. ALWAYS check for voltage on the load side of a disconnect before using an ohmmeter to check for grounds, even when it appears to be turned off. The disconnect could be faulty, and one or more legs could still be energized. It's just good safety practice and can prevent a nasty shock and damage to your equipment.

@ehsnils 2 месяца назад

I do like that the units are clearly marked with stencil text. I don't care if it looks crude or ugly as long as it's readable because it saves a lot of time to find the right item. Totally unmarked stuff sucks since you need to put down a lot of work just to ensure you are messing with the right device.

@HVACRVIDEOS 2 месяца назад

I completely agree

@AKStorm49 2 месяца назад

The amount of calls customers had to pay for me to simply turn the unit on and watch it work for half an hour is astonishing. I do check them out and try to get the units to fail so their money isn't completely wasted but it happens a lot.

@JesseDoesHVAC 2 месяца назад

Ive run into this before. No cooling call and the owner actually turned off the system. Luckily for them i did this same thing with an electrical safety check before even turning on the system. Didnt take long to realise the disconnect was just off and she fired right up. Call out fee applied no extra thank you

@Jilocasindragon 2 месяца назад

You know what's ironic? I think I would be the perfect fit to your company, but I'm from Europe and have zero knowledge about HVAC other than watching your videos. 😂 Jokes aside, I love everything about your style and way of thinking. Even if it's never gonna happen, I'd like you to know, it would be an absolute honor to work for you, Chris. Keep up the amazing attention to detail and never let your brain trick you into thinking stuff like OCD is a bad thing :)

@tschuuuls486 2 месяца назад

I mean you could throw in a few decently priced minisplits with those four way ceiling cassettes. I think with Daikin you can pair new cassettes with older condensers, so replacement down the road is not that terrible. And those ceiling cassettes are easier to clean than the wall units. There are super efficient models available in Europe starting at ~$600 for a single split set. Sounds like way less hassle than replacing tons of ductwork to me 😂

They would email my work to me, have whatever I needed for the day ordered at a supply house near me. I told the owner that if you see me in the office I'm not making you money. That was the only good thing about working there.
