This helicopter customer is one that had been burned before in the past. You do good work and he's got a lot of friends to tell. He's making sure you're doing what you're billing him for. I like these customers.
Yeah, another job for an OEM motor. Sure does make it a cleaner job in the end, same wire count, no reversing wires to hide, correct rotation, correct mounting studs etc. Great repair plan includes a new capacitor regardless if the existing one still works, its a better practice to put in a new one for peak performance.
I always hang out and watch anybody working on my house. I'm always looking to learn something. I'll try to help by holding a flashlight or anything else, otherwise generally not be in the way. I always offer some cold water on warm days as well.
Youd be shocked to know how many try to rip you off by saying a part is about to take a sh1t. If they work on commision keep your eye on them. Some of the trashiest creeps work HVAC.
I have walked off jobs if the comments get too much. I simply say, you obviously know what to do and clearly see my knowledge is not needed. Good day. The look on their faces is priceless. They have no words to come back with.
It may be annoying for people to hang around. But just like we watch these, some of these people may be interested in what you do, and they do have a lot of money in these systems and just want be around while their property is being worked on. Some may just to be around in case you need anything. At the end of the day, they are the paycheck. Love the content.
Looks like a trane condenser, can't tell though lol. You can put the universal motors on that shroud, they have indentions punched into the steel for you to drill and they match universal motor mounting bolt patterns. It's always best to go OEM, but in a pinch you can easily drill it out with a step bit.
@WW HVAC I do work for a few apartment communities around me and about 75% of them are heat pump tranes. Do it all the time, so long as you tighten it up its probably better than the factory bolts. Those bolts ALWAYS strip out when I'm removing them.
@@WWHVAC you did the right thing getting motor that fits because the homeowner would have complained since he was watching you why you drilled holes in his unit then he would have wanted a discount
People don’t realize how rude this is. Popping around every once in a while for a moment then leaving is understandable but to stick around and be a distraction is rude
Leave the techs alone period. We don’t need you hanging around. You offer no help and we don’t wanna hear your stupid shit or comments. Do it yourself then. Loser.
Good video man, I’d like to leave a pointer for you though. That universal motor you had would’ve worked. The screws thread into the inserts that don’t have reverse threads in it. The screw threads themselves into the softer metal of the bell of the motor. Good video, I just subscribed!
One time I rotated the universal and use my black marker to make a template and drilled holes for the motor mounts. But the time it takes to measure and line up might as well go OEM.
Good work. Idk man anytime I put a universal motor ina trans/American standard I sometimes have issues with the fan blade hitting the coil just barely and gotta adjust . So I go with OEM
What do you think about seperating the capacitors? I started using seperate caps for the fan and compressor because of the constant calls for dual run failures.
You are there on their property being paid by them. If you know your job you will be able to perform your and talk to them at the same time. That is another way to get word-of-mouth advertisement. After you had them wait 4 hours while you went on to another job. Non-professional. We have to remember where the mouth can make you or break you. Take it from someone that has been in business since the 80s and my company covers two states. Just a small company. I do not advertise. Just use word-of-mouth.
Pipe down nancy. They called me there cause they need something fixed. Stay out of my way when I’m working in electric. It’s common sense. So F you and your bs company. Nerd.
Amrad gives 5 year warranty on their caps. I'd use them as well just because and even though they are around $35 vs. $20 for others, I believe they will benefit most.
Do you truly enjoy what you do,or is it just a source of income? Im gonna guess you love what you do ? I have been into this trade for awhile, and at the time I am doing it, no , I DO NOT like this trade.Its only when I look back at my times doing Service, and installations I really enjoy this trade . Does this make sense? The very best part about it is when you're customer praises how great the job you did. That keeps me doing this forever. Especially when you start getting calls from their family,friends, and neighbors. You CANNOT beat that.
When people do this I put my earbuds in or start playing loud music. Some dude I work with carried liquid ass with him and sprays a little if they wanna be too rude.
Recently had my condensor fan motor replace on a carrier 4 ton. But I realize it does not move air like it used to :(. Should blade be moved toward floor down or up towards sky anyone. Thank you in advance:)?
I had fan motor replaced in early March I live in Laredo Texas. So it was not as hot but during the day ac does not turn shut off when it reaches its 77degree like it used to before. I did a vacuum and changed new dryer filter and new thermostat but still nothing I clean coil and new filter ever month but that’s why I thought noticed new fan motor does not seem to move as much air as original. Any brand u recommend for replacement on a carrier unit Thank you in advance
I really don't mind the helicopter customer because I will find the problem and explain in technical detail what the issue is and solution and they tend to leave me alone and do something else.
@@WWHVAC Not the wrong motor, just a "universal" motor that didn't have the correct stud pattern. As they say "One size fits all" at the supply house ! Maybe they need to start stocking more OEM parts and selling higher grade parts/materials vs. shipping container parts from CCP.
Cought my roofer throwing 9 bundles of shingles I paid for in his trash trailer. Also was charging me to install them. I don't mind paying anyone who is fair with me.@@WWHVAC

Man you should charge him double $
The artwork on the thumbnail is priceless! 😂 That guy in the helicopter looks suspiciously like your helicopter homeowner...🤣

Thank you for posting videos consistently. You give us so much knowledge. God bless you brother ✌
No evidence no gods!
He's got to have a rather large electric bill with two of those units a running.

The worst is when they got they chair all set up to watch the show and comment and ask questions along the way
Can’t stand it!

I do the same. Especially when they tell me I’m wrong. I say we’re done here good luck call someone else and walk. Fook outta here.

yeah but its weird and quite disrespectful, your paying a professional to do some work for you its not a demonstration
maybe he is just curious aout how it works?
Then go to school and pay money like we did. Have a good day

Okay. I didn't see the indentions. I thought about drilling holes but was concerned about vibrations

They also have brackets to convert

Make him hold the camera already😅
That guy is steady in your business.
People don’t realize how rude this is. Popping around every once in a while for a moment then leaving is understandable but to stick around and be a distraction is rude
Or at least say something!
Hard to trust people this days, especially those who are require to do a good job for money I pay.

Those helicopters they at it again.

I honestly pretty rarely run into capacitors that are bad on both sides, but thats just my experience with simple straight cool split systems
Lol that thumbnail tho 😂😂😂😂 🚁🚁🚁🚁
Good vid none the less Walt ...You handled it well ... On to the next one ...
Glad you enjoyed it
Helicopters are the worst, especially when they act like you’re there to train them on their equipment.
We are supposed to give them years of training in 30 minutes 😆 thanks for watching

Going forward your company should collect first money ,make it a company requirement
Not slying at all
Good videos 😊
Amrad cap! And you replaced it with run cap bandit capacitor come on man. Amrad is one of thee actual reliable American made hvac products out.
Im team Chinese caps!
Amrad gives 5 year warranty on their caps. I'd use them as well just because and even though they are around $35 vs. $20 for others, I believe they will benefit most.
@Garth Clark I agree
@@Garth2011 There Hardstarts are nice too with built in relays and Compressor protection thermal.
@@WWHVAC 😂
Probably be back within 6 months to change that titan cap out lol
Don’t think so. Been in field 27 years. Nothing wrong with that cap. So stuff your lol geek
@@INKDnARMD that’s nice, options vary, super tech

It be ya own kind for us
Sometime our on kind dont think we know what we doing lol
No my brother, that comes from both sides. Trust me.
raaaaaaayyyyyyzist
Bad motor or a loud contactor.
Also suggest noit using the condensor as a stroage ben...SMH I can't stand these type of customers rude and distracting.
A lot of things have been taught as right or normal good behavior to the ungodly but are really evil but they do not KNOW
👍👍👍👍👍👍
Recently had my condensor fan motor replace on a carrier 4 ton. But I realize it does not move air like it used to :(. Should blade be moved toward floor down or up towards sky anyone. Thank you in advance:)?
Try to find the correct rpm on the original and see if the new one has the same rpm..the new one is probably 875rpm or 1025 rpm
Thank you so so so so lol and so much for quick reply. And thank you for being an honest hvac tech. U are daaaaa man :)

Sadly you have to watch today. Not saying they all rip you off but many will.
You're right about that!
Cought my roofer throwing 9 bundles of shingles I paid for in his trash trailer. Also was charging me to install them. I don't mind paying anyone who is fair with me.@@WWHVAC
Unsubscribed will watch DIY HVAC Guy from now on
✌🏽
You do realize the HVAC business isnt a reputable line of work. If you dont like customers watching say so tough guy and see how many call you back.
Shouldnt use a knife to push in the contactor. Things can go south and you dont need the homeowner watching you demonstrate the laws of electricity.
😆 👍🏽 True
Yea that was some rookie dumb shit rite there. Seeing him do that I would question his skill
