Brake clean for your blower wheel next time, it works good and dries fast. 😎
That woulda been a good option, cause I had no water.
Dude, there was 5 or 6 times that I really wanted to help you out...LOL. Breeze Mechanical Inc. Did you really install that motor/drive on that disgustingly filthy out of balance blower wheel?
@@HVACGUY you have 5 ups so far for having no water (as a reason for not cleaning the blower wheel). That thing is clogged dude. Stop doing lame work. You charged that customer somewhere between $800 and $1200. I'm in no ca so I'm on the high side for a motor/drive.. Your next day video showed you attempting to clean a wheel that was still in the housing...what a joke. Breeze Mechanical.
@@christopherscott8853 22.39 you can clearly see through the blades..it’s not clogged.
@@johncspine2787 Sure it is. So clogged that it's cutting down the air flow by probably 25%. And off balance because of it. Take a look when he's disassembling. He even comments on my reply in his next video. Owner Breeze Mechanical.
Blower wheel looking a little crusty.
Lol, seeing the package unit through the window as you're messing with a tiny attic access must have made you feel both relieved yet foolish for having your head halfway in the attic
always scope the whole property out before diving in head first. we all put the cart before the horse and shoot ourselves in the foot now and then. 🤪
From what I understand, a snuff from an dog is a expression of endearment. She liked the way you were talking to her but she was cautious get too close.
I finally got my impact driver like yours and I'm loving that thing
Same!
Good job Curtis! Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug. Seeing that package unit through the blind's must've smarted a little lol!
OMG it's like reliving some of my calls. Lol. Thank you for your videos.
Had a bad x13 today in a miniature attic. At least yours was a package unit. Much easier. Take care
You seemed to be having one of them moments today Curtis lol.. I did too.. nice work though!!!
Great videos. Thanks for sharing your adventures. I enjoy watching them.
Lmao, that was priceless when you said oh my God!! And seen the package unit
liking your videos very much, professional and friendly, u rock sir :)
Job well done buddy, especially for us Seniors hopefully they appreciate you for doing that job.
As always, nice job Curtis.
Tune in
Nicely done, keep up the great work!
after i watch ur video i subscribe,,,,,ur skills and ethics are great as well as the tools i do the same for bout 30 yrs and have respect for a great tech on the field blessings
Nice Job 👍
You good really vantastic quality service
Sounds like my day. One for PM had to heat the motor shaft to get it broke loose. Kroil let me down lol. This one hadn’t been touched since 1992 and it shows. Believe it or not it had an old AO Smith motor with oilers!! That’s a rare bird
On those units it’s easier to check the heat exchanger by pulling the blower.
Not walking around first to see the outdoor unit. Rookie mistake but hey it happens. You get that tunnel vision. Keep doing good work my friend.
I was saying you had it up side down 😆 good work tech
CURTIS YOU NEED TO GET A LITTLE FOLDING WORK TABLE TO WORK ON THE BLOWERS, INSTEAD ON WORKING ON THE BACK OF THE TRUCK..
Agreed…. Also the Supco ATP1 Attic Pro Utility Lift.
@@DanO181919 I’ve put the lift in my cart. Just haven’t pulled the trigger
@@HVACGUY lol. I do the same thing with Amazon.
Get the attic lift. You will not regret it.
I have learned to scroll thru the comments first...exactly what I came to say. Either a folding table or couple folding sawhorses and a 24"x24" piece of plywood. But also...I can't work without a vise. My old back says no more of this stuff.
I was happy for you when I saw the pkg unit 😁
Curtis, ya done good.
you sir are are a star
👍👍 I have jobs like that seem to last for ever. 👍👍👍
that canalla was lying,LOL dr58
Although the blower wheel wasn’t cleaned. How many of us would have drove around looking for a filter, over telling the customer to buy one and change it? Good job man!
Where I am working now I spend 6 of my 8 hours on CZcams. Learning HVAC. Got all my business stuff done so now looking at my the transition. Current job wants me to move to 2 on 2 off day shift SO this will give me time to get work. I get to bored of my current job I may go be a technician for a company for a while.. Will see what happens..I bought all the tools
i think you’ll find that, if you’re motivated, it will be a very fulfilling job.
@@HVACGUY This is what I see too..I'm reading stuff here on how to obtain a license here in Pennsylvania..
I bent that lip made air short circulate I then use 6x12 " metal to help on sliding in.
I was having fun wend you install the fan bracket upside down. It was cool 😎
And also looking for the evaporator unit
Sketchy part of this video is you can see the siding melted on the bump out where the fireplace is…😳
I know it’s a matter of opinion but I thought you were going to clean the blower wheel. Good work as usual
No water source where I was
I understand. You still did a professional job
@@HVACGUY I'd think a stiff brush would have been better than nothing.
@@gailtaylor1636 sometimes if you can’t get it all off, it ends up being more unbalanced. When I was in the field, we always replaced blower wheels and fan blades that looked questionable.
Every tool has a hammer side :)
I know sometimes we just want to get the job done and we overlook cleaning the fan there was not one thing clean about this job all the obstacles u had I did well
Found 2006 carrier gas pack leaking today on two cap tubes that had rubbed through and a bad heat exchanger
Yes indeed, that blower wheel veins were very dirty. This will diminish the air movement.
Sir it appears today it wasn't your day you're dropping a lot of screws and tools and I have days like that as well
CAN THE MAKE THAT EASIER TO WORK ON. THAT GOT ME TIRED. BE BLESS.
That blower wheel looks dirty from the inside
Maybe invest in a cordless Dremel with wire brush attachment for situations like the motor
If they have a water heater they have water , it’s easy enough to hook the hose up to the drain and use that as a water source … food for thought
And thank you for showing your mistakes. We are not perfect out here.
Forgot to clean that blower wheel?
I didnt see you fix thr leak...did i miss something? Anyway great vid...i love this shit
The property manager said to just fix the fan for now.
@@CT-vm4gf ahhh...I see...well thatll be a return job...Thanks...👍
I really hate those blower motor brackets. Why can’t they just have each foot physically attached at all 3 points. I’ve been screwing them in place if I have short 5/16” or 1/4” self tappers. It’s so frustrating fumbling with those damn things and they’ve been that way for years.
Might be a good idea to do that going forward Curtis. Get ya a little cup of those short self tappers and before even removing that blower motor bracket just screw each leg in place to the outer band. Save you from the hassle of fumbling with them anymore.
Hi Curtis,what Headlight u use.great job like always.
One of the Milwaukee ones with a rechargeable battery
Where do live where all the
A/Cs are outside package units?
Been a service tech for 2 years and still some days I struggle with confidence. When did you start feeling good and seasoned?
Annalise, welcome to the HVAC profession. I retired this year after 43 year's kicking butt in residential, commercial and industrial service, installation and repair. To answer your question truthfully, it's different for everyone as far as confidence and how you approach each job. For me I started feeling confident with my abilities at about 7 to 8 year's into learning, doing and making a LOT of mistakes, which btw, will continue to happen for you. The best teacher is OJT (on the job training). A positive work ethic and attitude will go a long way. Try to learn from your mistakes and success on every job no matter how simple or difficult. The best thing that had consistently benefited me was not to beat myself up when I screwed up. Give yourself a break and pat yourself on the back when you've done a professional and kickass job. YOU WILL screw up...keep your head up and move forward. It's a HARD and rewarding career so have FUN with it. Good luck!
Hey Curtis wouldn’t it be better to check heat exchanger and coil every time that way customer knows beforehand and not blame you, the last person to touch it?
Ideally yes
It's a shame you skip a step should have cleaned that fan!
*This is a call to all viewers on CZcams* Can we all chip in $5 so he can buy 1,000 9V batteries so that we all don't have to hear low-battery smoke detectors ever again? I am in if y'all are.
You should have cleaned the squirrel cage blades!
Curtis hows the back these days? After 37 years in the business mine is toast though I never did residential I have worked on many of those smaller pkg units.
Back is good…for now
@@HVACGUY Good news!!!
Next time take a wire tie and strap that aggravating capacitor and wire bundle up on the condenser coil protector, give a little extra room
Did you clean the blower?
What made you check for a leak? Nice catch Curtis!
Just the age of unit
I don't know anything about this, I have a question. Why not start with the puller to begin with, seemed like it didn't take very long. Thanks
He should have started with the hub puller...made himself look silly. This is the kind of technician that property management hires....installed a brand new motor/drive on a disgustingly dirty, out of balance blower wheel. We aren't all like that. Breeze Mechanical Inc.
dead blow hammer and spiked punch !
Another chirping smoke detector... smh :)
That was a test for the nervous system! I was wondering how anything was going in that attic and had to smile when I saw that gas pack😄
As a property owner, they should know better than not have a filter. I wouldn't have wasted much time on cleaning up dust if *they* didn't care. One thing I have been curious about is seeing a lot of gas units with Galvanized piping. I was always taught to only use black iron pipe for gas. It wouldn't have passed inspection in Tennessee.
Thanks for sharing your workday!🙂👍🇺🇸
I've been a HVAC company owner in Tennessee for 22 years, there's no required inspections in Tennessee. There's no required license in Tennessee. Someone told you wrong.
@@Bryan-Hensley In Oak Ridge there sure were 30 years ago. ORUD inspected *everything* and they didn't allow galvanized pipe in natural gas installations, done that before. I was vague on the whole state of Tennessee, I did speak out of turn on that one. I was born and grew up in OR
Noticed the last few times you haven’t used your D-Tek.
The D-Tek is phenomenal. But, I don’t intend to use it as the first option everytime.
what is the Brand of your Puller?:) many thank and goodluck:)
I know the large window air conditioners now have plastic fans.They are real easy to remove.Just remove a clip.I wondering if they will be making plastic fans for central a/c's,making them easier to remove.What a difficult job that was.
👍👍
how much was that call?
Why didn't you clean the squirrelcage while you had it out?
What kinda when puller is that man? I didn't see that in your product list
Not really sure. I’ll look for it.
Yo Curtis, what's that watch you're wearing, bro? I want one. 👌🤓🖖
Apple Watch.
Did you really not hose off the squirrel cage?
Wondering why you didnt clean the blower fan? At least brush it off.
Why not remove the wheel and clean it?
that b lower wheel should have been cleaned your going to have airflow issues.
Curious why you didn’t replace the capacitor at the same time…
That's an ECM motor. The cap was for the condenser fan/compressor different job. The placement in the blower section is a bit odd I will give you that.
Love carrier but not their gas packs blower sux to get out . Attic job that happens
I am wondering if you would have put that fan back in dirty like that if the homeowner was standing there. At least hit it with a brush and knock some of that dust out. I am a bit disappointed with that. You usually try to leave things neat and tidy. Having a bad day I guess.
😲 WOW 😲. Field AC technician got it the worst
Could you explain to me how a 15 seer split system is more efficient than a 15 seer gas package unit?
Gas packs are 80% afue on thefurnace side. Only one manufacturer makes a 90+afue that I know of...nordine junk. On a split system you can install a 98%afue furnace. The ACs are the same. Breeze Mechanical Inc
Thank you so much for clearing that up so basically only on the heat furnace side of things
@@michaelburton4025 Yes...you got it.
Is there a reason you did not have the owner run that blower wheel through the dishwasher? Or at least submerge it in the laundry sink in sudsy water? It looked really skunky, and would be sans filter. I bet everything on the intake side of the filter is covered in dirt. Amazing how that gas line is right out there where the lawnmower can hit it. Not safe.
Why don't you carry a small folding work table with you for jobs like this
How long is the warranty on these devices?
One year on replacement motor
10 years if you register it and 5 if you don't, on the original.
The faster I go, the behinder I get! Lolol 😅
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I don't understand when they design a house why they make it so difficult to access critical parts that are necessary if repairs are ever needed in the future. Something should be done and this should be outlawed because I see and hear the sigh when you had to go up there and saw the access point.
You didn't clean the fan
Seems like you were just trying to condem the unit. I know things are expensive now adays, but I'm sure you could of worked a few cans of cleaner into the price to clean that before reassembly. Just saying
Condemn it? He made it work again. That ladies probably poor and cant afford the repair the cleaner & the leak fix.
@@joshperez7731 a little coil cleaner would have cleaned the wheel really easy
If it's an emergency please hang up and dial 911 .
That unit was in terrible condition for only being 8 years old.. Looks like it has had a rough life up to now.. Unless the house in a swamp area..
Do you ever stress to your customers the importance of changing out their filters every month? Got to keep the equipment clean.
People breath that sh**. If you show the customer, they might think about their filters?
Wow, couldn't believe that you didn't clean that dirty blower wheel while you had it all apart. First time in watching all your videos I was disappointed in the quality of your work. 😕
And he don't wash the squirrel cage, having the part already disassembled? That does not speak well of a technician. And knowing what he charges for that job, he didn't have the care to wash it?
Dude didn't have a water source in the area, not his fault.
@@joshperez7731 that is just a excuse.
@@ismaelmxli He took all morning doing that job I’m sure if he could’ve washed it he would have. He does great work and always tries best to improve the longevity of the unit . Don’t watch if you come to hate
@@tayshan5569 i'm a/c technician ,i know that job take 2 or max 3 hrs. + The time to get the motor.
@@ismaelmxli Yea most definitely especially if you’re checking exchangers . HVAC is a brotherhood no negativity
I’ve got a hammer just like that one.
Why do most if not all the videos you presented have major components of the system installed inside an attic space? Is it because in those instances the location does not have a basement? I'm not an HVAC professional like yourself but I don't see any logic in installing something so heavy and critical in a space that isn't truly designed to hold it nor be easily accessible in most cases.
There is absolutely no reason you should have left that dirty blower wheel in this unit. You could have at least stopped at a car wash and cleaned it before you took the old motor off. I’ve never seen a house that didn’t have a water spikit outside. You need to bring a water hose with you. You seem to leave dirty ones on all the time. That’s not good at all
recommend to remove and clean blower wheel and housing. Had to stop watching. It's just not right. Have a great day.
