A day in the life of an HVAC technician. Replaced a 15k btu Mitsubishi heat pump ductless mini split and ran a no cool on a Rheem gas package unit. Hope you enjoy the video, LET’S DO SOME WORK!
#hvac #mitsubishi #technician - Krátké a kreslené filmy
this is the first video i found of you, i like it! I'm currently in hvac school and were learning to put the pieces of the puzzle together for troubleshooting, so it made sense to me as of why they needed a new capacitor! you earned a sub! cant wait to watch and learn more! thanks friend!
I’ve been watching your channel for a while now, you are a true tradesmen and craftsmen a true inspiration thanks for doing what you do 🤓
Zach, I use that e-flex guard as well. Nice to see others are using it to protect and seal. Another product you may want to check out are Flaretite seals from rectorseal for the ductless equipment. Really helps prevent leaks on the connections! Nice work brother
I watch a older video and you said your based in Tennessee so am I am a local handyman where I am and have a little of hvac training under my belt but am learning more as I go thanks for putting these videos out I always like watching and learning
The leak at this start, always catches me out too. Great video
Appreciate everything you bring to the table Zach!
we always holler out going hot when we flip breakers or anything... good practice for safety and it gives you more excitement.
Great video as always. Love the vlog style videos. Keep ‘em coming!
LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO USE THE SAME PIPING AND WIRING AS WELL AS THE EVAPORATOR BASE.
It’s a reverse cycle unit so it’s technically both the evaporator and condenser.
Compressor was definitely running when you took access cover off, probably solely because of the hard start
I installed one myself. That torque tool would of been useful. I did let the AC guy pump it down and he checked my connections. That was 15 years ago. It’s been flawless. A lizard did get in and short a board but it was an easy fix. I sealed that area up so hopefully they can’t get in again.
The Man
The Myth
The Legend
Zach!
Great video man🤘👊💪
Good to see you using a torque wrench on the line set
Nice job bro. That split changeout looked easy
Nice video good to see you sharing your knowledge!
As always bro, great video!
Love your videos bro! From las Vegas 👋
Good job and now i see first time ur helper good to see
Good video Zack👍
Nice video man👍🏼👍🏼
great job zack
Great work thank you for sharing
Great video !!!
Nice job, my only question is why did you have to take the cover off the new unit before placing it back on the wall, I know you have electrical but that can just be slid through the back with cover on, I do this type of work every day 2 just was wondering if there’s a new trick for something
Parabéns pelo trabalho,ferramental excelente.
Sou técnico de refrigeração no Brasil.
No days off man on call my self this week
Why is your helper not wearing steel toes?
Love that shirt 👍✌️
Does your fieldpiece meter's hold button get bumped on often? I have that one and it drives me crazy and screws with me, to the point i cherish and protect my older style fieldpiece. Lol
Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos.
Nice job and video
How do you choose the right size unit for a property? For Both a duct less and a split unit?
I love capacitor jobs their my bread and butter.
Lol easy money
What service wrench do you use and what are the hex adapters with the long shank at 2:50? I use the yellow jacket one and it does not go deep in the service.
This video would be better if you did a schematic of the wiring of the hard start etc and clearly show point you measured the amps. Most folk can check a capacitor but the wiring is always confusing for newbies and its good to reinforce the learning. Thanks for video
Trying not to show diy people to much
God job sir
Muy buen video gracias por compartir 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧🚧
you forgot to show the part where you fight with getting the line hide covers back on haha!
Better use correct term slim duct not line hide
Just fought with lineset covers past friday🤣
Good job !!!!! Thanks for helping people with low income how do some AC troubleshooting
He wouldn't get a single joke. Theo would be cracking dry humor jokes and he'd be there trying to figure out if he's serious or not.
I think he should prepare a TEDx talk for the types of work he does and why more young men should get a trade and start a family business.
I like that service valve set up you got. What is it?
We need get our guy on Theo Vons Podcast.
What is ideal superheat for 134 freezer?
Why did you swap out that split system? What was wrong with it?
Smooth
Good video 💯man, hey what do you do with all those old units you take out ?
Probably scraps them in slow times.
Man love your videos. I finish HVAC school next month, got my universal excited to get on the field. Any tips for interviews or for the job in general?
Honestly I can tell you don't volunteer information like I'm universal certified people shake their head at that they'll ask you if you have an EPA card that just means you know the refrigerant laws that's necessarily doesn't mean you're a great technician a lot of people think that automatically makes them a technician I'm not saying you're saying that but the interview process keep your hands in front of you folded in front of you keep your phone off or volume turned down don't look at anything at your phone keep your focus on the interviewer when asked a question just answer it honestly but don't volunteer anything that doesn't need to be said at the interview sometimes interviewers just like to ask the questions and be in charge of the interview that's how it works hope that helps I know that was a year ago but you might have learned something in the whole year
@@colbraddock9913 Great advice! Landed my first interview a year ago this month and still with the same company 👍🏼 still learning so much everyday.
@@JS-8204 Good job, best wishes to you on your career, 👍
Where did you bought your HVAC T-shirt?
why did you replace that mitsu?
Yo need the link or part # for wireless sman temp clamps
Good job brother I wonder what type of work truck are you using I need a truck and I like your truck
Just get a Chevy express with racks inside.
Good work vhora i.y i
How much do you charge to change the capacitor
The condenser unit are trane or mitsubishi ?? Im confused jaja
Is the helper thinking about blue collar work?
Hi Man...i love ur work from India...
Actually I need ur tools that ur are used how can I get it can u help me that
Get the jumper cables out !
Why did you take the outer shell off the indoor unit? Doesn’t it just have push clips on the bottom to release it off the bracket??
I just asked the same question, I do this work every day and never had to do that
It makes it much easier. Ask me how I know lol.
It’s normal to take picture tech even me I do it 😁
Hey man, starting my own company this summer. I work maintenance Ina government facility and they provided the HVAC training and paid for my 608 Test. I passed and now I'm universal. Bought a ton of field piece stuff, pumps, recov, torches, hoses, and such. Have all the major pieces. I'm starting to do jobs just by word of mouth but I'm having a hard time figuring out what's fair to charge. I don't want to screw over the customer or myself. How do you figure? Could make a nice video on a rainy day. My goal. Be a quality tech like you. I know I'm worth well because I don't do bad work. But starting out I need some guidance.
Charge what you think you are worth.
Im a owner of a company also and this is the best thing ive ever did in my life !!!!
Hard start already on the compressor. Rusty coil. That's definitely a hit n run call. I may have offered a condense coil clean. Other than that good work. Sell em a new unit. 👍👍
what watch you got there?
Yiu use the same refrigwrant lines ?
Any job openings thier
When you says it a little low on refrigerant, is that normal or there might be a leak someone on the suction or discharge line?
Somewhere *
Pretty regularly see systems low on refrigerant, we suspect it is low from the original installers lack of adding more refrigerant to account for the length of the line set. If it’s a repeated issue of being low would mean a leak.
im form Bangladesh bro
I'd like to hear how hard you push the sell. Record convo with customers.
Don't know how easy that would be as he would probably need the customers permission. It would be interesting to hear, however asking the customer's permission to record makes it sound like it's for a training and plants the thought in the customer's head that the technician is actively going to try and sell them something.
If you are pushing to sell I feel you could be doing it wrong, it’s super simple the best way to “sell” is to openly communicate with the homeowner and just inform them of what you found. Give them some options ranging in price and if they ask your opinion be honest. If it’s a 13+ year old system it might be time to change it depending on the condition of everything, if it’s 8 years old you might want to lean more towards repair while it’s under warranty.
@@devinpaddock2569 Nexstar?
@@sixshooterstallion567 what’s a nexstar?
@@devinpaddock2569 oh nvm, it's a customer service based training for trades like electricians, HVAC techs, and plumbers. What you said sounds like what they teach.
Gas piping is up to code lol
hey man you look like my old friend Billy
Nice not to many commercials
You may not want to reuse copper flare for a quality work because the copper has already been compressed in annealed there for limiting its ability to compress and conform the second time.
It May seal now they usually leak years later it’s just gambling.
Copper was never meant to be compressed more than once.
Job security
@@sampantiliano Not if you are the guy who did the job and it happens in a year!
This is why I leave myself around an extra foot in a bend near the unit so if I need to open it up I have extra.
@@sampantiliano not if you’re the owner of the company who sold the customer a $20,000 unit and a year later the refrigerant is empty and possibly even burnt out the compressor because someone was lazy or incompetent you lose your reputation you lose a customer and you lose the chance of your customer doing word of mouth advertisement for you.
This is the difference between reliable quality and dependable workmanship and companies and the difference between uneducated lazy cheap shysters
I could imagine swapping the ductless if it's a control board or a compressor
...sometimes the cost of a unit is better than repair
The board is like $30
@@stanzlifestyle1031 $30? Try around $150 to 300. Maybe they wanted an upgrade?
Not sure if I’d trust that micron gauge considering you released the Freon with that still attached
Bluvac micron gauges are rated for positive pressure.
@@74FirefighterEMT and the sensors are good with being in contact with oil? I don’t think so
@@cdubs1723 that gauge tells you if its in contact with oil and will clear itself if that's the case. its rated for positive pressure as well own 2 of them they work great. Upgrade your tools once in while before you make comments...
@@Matts_Crafty it also tells you when cal is due. Well aware. I’ll message you next time for approval
@@cdubs1723 sounds good!
Turbo 200 capacitor could have been jumped out to equal 40MFD buddy boy
How come the flares were not re-done? It’s not going to leak now. It’s gonna leak out in winter when the flares will be contracting/expanding every cycle.
He said the flares were good
@@eriknunez8757 Yeah, he's going to learn a lesson in a few years. From what I understand you never reuse a flare on a line set.
Hello sir where r u work? ❤️
Wouldn't recommend playing around in the blower compartment while unit is running
So it wasn't on camera. But I am sure you checked the condenser coil for being clean. 80% of compressor overload heat issues and failing compacitors are due to dirty condenser coils. The other 20% are due to electrical feed issues of low percentages in summer when in high demand and then the rodent highway of squirrels on lines destroying them.
And the infamous loose connection. Those loose connectors create extra resistance. Resistance = heat = premature failure
I've never heard of capacitors failing due to a clogged condenser.
Wow that had to be the easiest change out in the history of HVAC.
U work on Sundays too
If you own a business in HVAC you work 24/7
@@BigDmike24 that sucks
Every other channel I have watched says those caps are junk and more expensive than correct units
What was wrong with the Mitsubishi?
Is it Trane or Mitsubishi?
That's what I was wondering. It's having an identity crisis!
Both
Trane partnered with Mitsubishi in the mini split and VRF lines.
Wham bam thank you mam !
Keep umm come'n!

Wear your safety glasses.
crimping the earth cable but dont on the load? lol
Lol gotta love these fly by nighters, warranty, it’s the tail lights...... do yourself a favour, buy some pants, and some work boots.
What?
This dude is the furthest thing from a fly by nighter... as far as I know there is no written law that HVAC guys gotta be in boot and jeans for residential service calls.
@@tyharvey7636 The last thing I'd want, as a customer, is my service tech to be uncomfortable. Uncomfortable people tend to rush jobs or make mistakes.
On a personal level, if I was built like him, I'd show it off too. LOL
Jealous haters gotta hate!
"Looking good" doesnt fix units or make people honest and knowledgable. Ive been doing this for 11 years in shorts and t-shirts with tennis shoes. Pants, boots, and long sleeves only when necessary. Interestingly, when i show up and repair a unit others refuse to simply fix, customers dont seem to care and ask for alot of business cards afterwards.
This is probably dumb but could you please tell me how you knew to check the capacitor right off the bat? Like out of everything to check first how did you know?
The motor wasn’t running and had power it’s either a bad cap or bad motor. After around 10,000 service calls it get to where you just know.
If you didn't have to add freon, then why did you bing out the drum? Pretty sus not gonna lie....
No drop clothes or truck signs? WTF But will put a nice ground wire on?
Who else only checks low side on r22? 😂
You are using professional tools it's not available in India available and more heavy price
Just my opinion but the wood blocks under the ductless look bad.
lol
I like these style episodes the most. The other ones feel like infomercials. I get that you need to make money but its becoming too much.
Agreed.
Is that your son working with you?
youre white dude. Wear your hat appropriately...
Looks like he’s wearing it like a normal person to me.
You sound like a racist POS. I can tell you are a BRAINWASHED Marxist Traitor. You should gtf out of the USA. Besides tell me anything that's a bigger coward than someone hiding behind a fake name criticizing others. Tell me anything that's a bigger coward anything.
