Van Power-Up: Adding Microwave!
Join me on an exciting journey as I level up my work van with a game-changing addition: a microwave purchased from Walmart. The day begins with eager anticipation as I install the microwave, envisioning the convenience it will bring to my on-the-go lifestyle.
But as I dive into the installation process, my plans are momentarily interrupted by a service call for a 100 horsepower triple pass fire tube steam boiler. The boiler is making concerning noises, and upon inspection, I discover leaking tubes that are causing the boiler to lock out. With swift action, I address the issue, resolving the problem and restoring functionality to the boiler.
As the day progresses, I finally have the chance to put my new work van microwave to the test. With excitement bubbling, I prepare my first meal, reveling in the convenience of having hot food on hand during long workdays. But the testing doesn't stop there-I also take the opportunity to test the Dewalt battery charger connected to the inverter, ensuring that my tools are always powered and ready for action.
Through innovation and problem-solving, I've transformed my work van into a haven of productivity and convenience. Join me on this journey of upgrades and advancements, where every addition brings new possibilities and every challenge is met with determination and skill in the world of HVAC.

Cleanest Boiler Room I Have Ever Seen
you dont add a cleaner to the boiler? for the sludge?
my impeller on the one i’m sitting, staring at right now is completely stuck, now i gotta go get a new one lol
mann i really needed that
I now snap that stupid MOP from the lid and keep a package of "printer cleaning swabs" which are far more precise, solvent resistant and unlike the fupid stucking mop do not tend to contaminate my precious dope.
This bag is awesome the only thing that would make it god mode is a small solid rubber base for durability and standing up
Thanks for the great advice. I did it, and my AC is running normal right now! 😇👍
The intro was like the commercials from the guy from my patriot supply. 🤦♂️
Do the probes come with a charging T when you buy them
Hey mate, I know you're likely really busy with life and all right now, I hope you're doing well.
Maybe I’m missing something, but how can you hook up a hose without a regulator? That tank fitting is spicific
A freaking men! Wouldnt be where I am today without almost crying in front of countless units unable to fix them, lol. What it actually did, was made me 100 times better, and pissed my boss off royally for not charging extra time 😂😂😂😂 Very glad you posted this message brother! Keep climbing those ladders boys!
Inspiring
miss the videos man. hope the baby is good. maybe we'll see you back for heating season 💪🏽
I was just searching myself…I thought I wasn’t getting his updates….i like his humor…oh well time will tell.
@JohnR9965 yeah, I know he mentioned him and his wife had a baby and then he just went MIA. so I'm guessing making and editing videos is on hold for now
The pressure switch should start open and the close once the setpoint/rating of the switch is met. the switch may be tripping due to a plethora of reasons. Use a manometer to measure what the pressure switch is reading and if it meets the requirement to close the switch, only then can you determine if the switch is truly bad unless of course there is an obvious failure. The fault codes are typically an indication of the system functioning improperly. Yes, sometimes it means that the part its indicating is bad. However it usually means there's some underlying problem. IE High limit trip means low air flow not a bad switch.
Or use your gauge manifold set it to 3-5 psi 🤷🏻♂️
Very inspirational!
Whys everyone freaking out looks like the pump body their is brand new whats wrong with just replacing the guts?
You guna be coming back eventually? Assuming spending time with the kid lol
I would have thought to find out if it's going to ground, you would check from terminal to copper line on the compressor. its mounted on rubber feet
This saved me a lot of time if I hadn't seen this clip I wouldn't have attempted it thanks a lot dude
Where did you go? Hope you are doing good!
Thanks man, is tough work
Preferably as long as it don’t leak and for along time
Very helpful! Thanks!
were you atttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
Fuck I do that all the time 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Who make this work i am Africa ?
Only one thing to do check Amp? On the condensing fan motor and the compressor.
So how do we cut pilot tubing?
If by chance you get the new control valve wet. Then you have a $400 part that doesn't work. You have a customer that's pissed off at you. And you have to go get another control valve.
How do you pull a vacuum!!!! Please
I won’t try myself but it’s great video.
Damn where was this today, was struggling with a cheap Amazon regulator and had to play with it a lot

Can you put a indoor coil under the house meaning the crawl spaces or do it have to be a outdoor coil??
Good honest video. Thanks.
Great video
We miss you vids.
Is congratulations
I have an old voltmeter. Do I put it on ohms?
Put it on ohms and if it's not reading it is bad 0 I would be looking for like resistance on the capacitor If it's reading more than zero you got a healthy capacitor
Ours went out Friday night and I wasn't sure what be causing it and I went to a group that told me the capacitor is bad and change it I don't want to be messing with that We are going to call a technician tomorrow because the company he works for is closed Saturday and Sunday it will be 3 day without no air it's been hot here
50 apartments 😮. Oh noooo, what we gonna do.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 BS BS You’ll never be a technician
That shit gonna be an ice cube after a few days
Bell and Gosset = ancient. I love my trade !
I bought one for when I test backflows works perfectly
How true, think about it, the company pays you to get better for them, standing around waiting for things to get done, instead
you dont buy new hoses?
