lets not forget, hes doing twice the walking with setting up his camera. This type of work his hard enough as it is. Thank you for your dedication and for sharing your wisdom!
Not to mention the editing! That’s a whole skill set all in it’s own, and time consuming
Also taking twice as long to do the job that he's charging the customer. Lol
@@RedsBigHead charge by the job not by the time big man you should know that
@@RedsBigHead he’s mentioned before he has a flat rate for his service work and other installs/repairs. Almost impossible to charge for time in HVAC considering all the possibilities of something else being the issue.
He could habe a helper with carrying his stuff
Dude I remember on my way out of the military I would watch your videos to get an Idea of how it is to be an HVAC technician! 10 months later Im loving this field! Thank you!
Currently about to do the same
Oh no youre gonna take our customers 😮f@#k
You forgot to film the part where you throw the old motor off the side of the roof
YEEET
Great great idea with the foil tape. I’ll be doing that from now on
Never shut a commercial unit down like that. You always stop the unit at the control level. Then disconnect the main breaker.
Wonder how many duct heaters or fpbs locked out on high limit. Charging the customer for all those shots and skimped on a blade on a locked up motor.
It's hard to stop a trane.
Even harder to get the parts to get them going again !
Love these outfits generously giving us fixed times for warranty repairs when we use up their allotted time JUST getting our tools across these it center and (what's left of the) mall roofs.
I used to service a mall that had rubber tension roof with small ass gangways to walk on. Kicker is, since it was rubber, mall wouldn't let u carry your tools across it, not even in ur pockets. Everything had to helicopter craned to you. Don't matter if u was just changing a capacitor. Heli crane had to come in lol. Shit was nuts.
Not to hard to stop a trane, I do agree with it being hard to get parts to get them back online, it's gotten worse and worse over the years and now it's just a shame and unexceptable
@@HVACRTECH-83trane wreck
I get Trane parts no problem. Just make an account with your local Trane Supply
Post more commercial vids like this when you can🙌🙏
Thanks for the informative video. I’m a 62 yr old boiler operator and just getting into HVAC with my facilities group. Stay curious and keep learning!!!
Same here! HVAC is so deep. Constantly learning
I just started doing commercial service. I appreciate the content even more now. Always been a big fan of this channel though. 💪🏻 Nobody better
Videos are inspiring man, good work, 10 years in south FL doing HVAC. Getting content and working doing repairs kudos, getting on some commercial roofs can be a distance especially getting all you need and not forgetting anything ! Keep making these videos !!! 😎
Please keep coming with the videos. I love your clean work.
Love the foil tape trick. Never thought of that but will definitely help the next person when changing the motor. Love your videos mate. Watching from Australia 👋
Just finishing up my technical degree for HVAC-R its alot to learn but i am looking foward to start working soon and learn all i can on the job
Great camera work and all the effort you have put into allowing your viewers such a bird's eye view. Thanks for everything! BTW, how did you gain all of your rooftop knowledge especially knowing how to access the computers?
solid video, just starting in hvac. you’re videos help a lot
Don't get your hopes up dude does have good content but is not consistent these are the type of videos alot of people want enough info to learn something but yet straight to the point
You need a magnet tray!! Not just for screws but so you don’t loose that Klien bit
Currently in school rn for HVAC. These videos motivate me dawg, drop more content 🔥🔥
New to the field and just started watching your videos, Thanks for all the helpful tips!
Great vid ! I’m school right now for the HVAC program it’s amazing and somehting I definitely see my self doing happily as a career for a very long time 🙏 always great to get more information on what I’ll be doing out in the field !
Te empeze a seguir desde hace mucho tiempo, y solo procanistaba que tenía que aprender y decía y decía y por fin hermanos por fin lo hize tus video me a ayudado tus típ, todo muchísimas gracias te lo agradezco mucho atenta Juan Alvarado
Great video. I always take pics of parts I'm going to replace.
I started to follow you for a long time, and I only procanistaba that I had to learn and I said and I said and finally brothers I finally did your video your tip has helped me, everything thank you very much I thank you very much Juan Alvarado
Your an EXCELLENT HVAC TECH. You are the guy I want coming to my place of business to service my equipment. Your attention to detail from start to finish shows you have pride in what you do. You want the best outcome for the customer. If you are new to any service business this is the guy you want to pattern yourself by!
Great video simple and straight to the point! Good job! 👏
Subscribed,. I don't often see these but seeing you navigate that panel in this video was huge for me. Thank you for the content.
Keep em coming. Excellent work 👍
Great video. Honestly though, I would not have replaced the contactor unless there were signs of wear like arcing or heat damage. From the video, it looked like those contacts were as good as new with no other signs of wear or damage. Changing a perfectly good part like that is just a waste of materials, time, and the customers money.
One thing to remember is for large commercial units, downtime is way more costly than installing a contactor. I’m not a fan of the shotgun method usually (replacing all suspect parts), but can see why he did it in this case. He brought the parts up and not much cost to replace while he was there.
It wasn’t HVAC, but in my field engineer days, often travel time (high cost) was a huge influence on whether or not to replace available parts.
Can we get more videos like this??? Nice work 🤙🏻
Quality work. Love your videos brother.
thanks was a very fast diagnosis. too the point
Good tidy work, used to love these type of fault finding jobs
Good stuff !!! Great troubleshooting skills !!! Working smarter not harder .
Thank you for the refresher✊🏽!!
Brother
You forgot the rain shield on the new motor, sometimes they come with them sometimes they don't
Shaft up orientation you need the black small plastic rain shield without it motor will fail prematurely
This is what we wanna see❤️❤️ GOOD WORK
Great job. I also recommend changing the prop as well I have seen over the past 30 years the fan blade rivets go later causing that new motors bearings to fail. For the extra cost of a blade it’s well worth it plus you won’t have to worry if you bent the old prop while removing.
I'm with u on this one. Not to mention some them fan blades are damn near welded on. Not worth the time or struggle.
Great tip with the foil tape. Going to start implementing that little trick myself.
Nice job !
Great content! Quality images, clear and crisp. Audio editing, laying music over footage. Those angles
, all the extra effort of setting up shots like @joey18sshs said. In general, high quality video production with knowledge transfer. 👍👍. Thank you
I needed this thanks a lot.
Love the vid!! It would be cool if you had a GoPro pov when you’re troubleshooting shooting. Keep up the great work!!!
1:04 wow 😨. what a minute. you should press stop 🛑 first. I don't know how many ton that unit is, but the breaker panel could explode in your face depending on if the system is fully loaded. I recommend pressing stop 🛑 on larger systems like that.
Awesome. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Great work!
I always change the fan blade with the motor. There's a reason that motor seized up and a lot of the time it's from an off balanced blade. Plus sometimes those blades don't want to come off and you end up bending them while using a puller
Unnecessary expense. If you clean the shaft and put some oil on it you should be able to slide it off no problem.
@@hackendan1921 not when you spend an additional hour trying to pull it off the shaft
Yes I agree with you, makes life so much easier. I leave it up to the customer and charge accordingly for my efforts 😎
We always replace the blade as well.....its cheap insurance and the customers will always go for it...haven't had one yet who wouldn't. These are expensive pieces of equipment...customers don't want breakdowns....they don't mind spending a few hundo more for a blade too. Had lots of issues with Trane motors....had 2 bad out of the box condenser motors from Trane for intellipaks last year in a row. Plus the counter guys aren't that great and seem to always screw things up.
@@jasonjohnsonHVACwith u on this one bro, counter guys aint worth shit these days. You'll have 1 guy in there that knows his stuff, the other 3 or 4 guys are just empty bodies taking up space.
I always get a new rain shield when I'm going to do this on a rooftop unit. The old motor had a small one, but I install one that gives me assurance that the upper bearing does not get rain or snow on it. Otherwise, good job.
Nice work as usual...👍
Imma steal that aluminum tape antirust trick for sure thanks for the Vid bro
Good content brother
Good job Bro 🌟
The unit quality and cleanliness of this setup compared to the channels that do restaurant AC. This is the customers you want right here, unless you enjoy grease, filth, and rotten ice machines.
I been watching he’s videos and he’s work it’s nice and clean he’s a professional, I always read the comments and I see a lot experts commenting you guys should open a hvac school or something since you guy know everything it’s funny seen those comments 😂 nowadays everybody it’s an expert
Been doing hvac for almost 30yrs now..trust me, u nvr stop learning in this trade. Just when u think you know it all the technology changes. I once read an article on Google. They asked 32 professional tradesmen what are the 10 hardest trades to master. #1 was an electrician #2 was hvac.
Moisture will get in and sit under the foil tape.
I like coating the shaft/hub with an anti seize or even good rust spray paint
same here, anti seize is my preferred method!
As an o'l Trane service tech. Great video. I like the foil tape on top of the fan hub.
Great video
How about adding silicone to the shaft and hub . I been doing that for years . Tape will deteriorate over time 🤷🏻♂️. Good video
I'm late to the channel. I recently made the jump to commercial after 20 years of residential. slowly learning Intellipak and Voyager systems. I asked company for training. They bragged about being big on training. I haven't seen it though.
I like to apply never seize on the shaft and blade before tightening the set screw. Good video..
I very much appreciate watching your vids and the content in them it motivates me to be a best tech. Thanks for sharing sr.
I live next to the coast in Southern Ca. Always order blade also . 50% of the time getting it apart becomes an issue. Cheap $70 insurance to have one on hand. Less than an hour labor usually
Thanks bro
The biggest issues I have with rooftop unit, are heat exchangers going bad. (I’m just glad we don’t do large unit like that one.)
Good job
Good job Zack but my experience I would replace the fan blade to you never know the fan blade can be out of balance and took that motor out. My experience I did a condenser fan motor one time I went back couple days later on a call back the fan blade had broken off. I did inspect the fan blade and everything’s fine. I think what happened in the fan blade was out of balance, just my experience.
I'm working also in Trane ,Dubai brach I like your work bro
Just had an a/c replaced due to not cooling great, definitely still blowing cool air though. It’s R-22 though so recharging with new stuff isn’t allowed.
The unit was 42 years old and had to be replaced with something that if lucky it will last 15.
Where did you get that puller you used on the fan blade? Gotta get my hands on one
good job
love days like this
Great TH-cam video, Sir A+++
Grinned when I saw the orange can.
Is there a separate board controlling each of the variable speed motors? They each just came right off the contactor it looked like. I assume troubleshooting that would be more complicated? I don't work on a lot of Trane, as you can probably tell, so I really did appreciate the video. Thanks!
460 volt ain't no joke , extra caution required by less experienced technicians !
You should do a better explanation regarding the initial complaint of the customer and I initial thoughts to the potential resolution , also when you mentioned swapping the motor &!contactor is it typical to change out both if you have an issue with either ? Thanks
A well done fan change over Zac, try and keep cool over there 👍 Au
I always show up to a condenser fan motor change with a new blade. If the old blade is in good shape I will save it for emergency repairs. I just see so many blades on older units unwilling to come off the shaft OR have micro cracks in them. I've also seen a handful of blades that cracked and went straight into the condenser. I will admit in your case that blade does look to be in descent shape. I have also made the mistake of putting my puller on the blade hub and accidentally hitting the set screw holes. At that point, it's game over and time for a new blade. Had to learn all these things via experience.
I’ve got a 10 to condenser with a restricted filter dryer. Should I replace all the refrigerant with new refrigerant or pump it down and replace the dryer outside the condenser?
Imagine working on another roof and seeing this guy filming himself while working.
The customer should get a discount for the extra time
I attempt to always get a motor / rain shield / fan blade
in a res. home app. as 4 power safeings is it better to run individual units to clod your house or large 4/5 ton mini split unit out side . single use 2/2.5 kw of power is larger better to cold house to save power
New follower to your page. I follow you in IG as well. You are definitely someone who loves hvac
. I’m an aspiring technician and funny enough in lab today we were working on rep,acing the fans indoor and outdoor. Furthermore it was my father who told me to look into hvac work. I am happy to say that I am glad I chose this path of learning a trade.
Is there a big difference in what you charge swapping a commercial motor vs residential?
What does amping the legs do at the end of the motor installation? about 12:30. Just making sure the fans not over or under drawing? Also how would you know what numbers are acceptable.
Was one of the fans spinning backwards at start up? Maybe it the one on the drive. Great content tho!👍🏽
I’m going to a tech school for hvac, but they really only teach for residential and not commercial or industrial. I’d rather do commercial than residential. Any pointers to where you started? Or to point me where to go after i finish my classes? Just a little stuck on what to do and where to go. Thank you, love the videos!
Man, it must be hard recording and editing, i could never!
So where was this tape on the fan blade hub on the failed motor? If there was tape on it from the factory than how did it become so rusted up?
With how that motor looks whew they are going to need to have some as spares as I bet a few more go out soon.
No rain Guard? Old one had one on it 😳
Good eye, should have swapped the rain guard over from the old motor & slathered Permatex anti-seize on the shaft..make it easier to pull the blade in 5 years.
Should use a rain slinger on that new fan motor........
What did you do for fan blade?
Why did you change out the contactor ?
Is that orange spray bottle better then pb blaster
Why replace the contactor? If you had proper voltage going to the fan then its most definitely the motor having issues. and after seeing how locked up it was that was definitely the problem.
Just curios if you bill the customer for all the time you spend setting up your camera angles, after you closed the roof hatch you had to go back and get the camera! Also would love to seen you actually break out a meter and actually troubleshoot that motor and why does it need a new contactor if it is powering the other motor correctly or are you just being a parts changer and loading up the invoice? Absolutely no actual training value, maybe explain the amps and specs rather than just saying LOOKS GOOD TO ME!
Dudes a TH-cam tech not a real tech what do you expect?
Fr, nobody atleast none of us in the field, gaf about the camera shots of dude walking off into the sunset. Just show us what u do, your techniques of trouble shooting and finish up. It's hvac homie not like Spielberg is gonna be watching these 😂
What kind of boots you wearing?? Irishsetters?
Trane motors are significantly more expensive for the sticker change and maybe a plug change. I would have disconnected my failed motor before restart too
Hi Boos you Doog nice work and you Also Have job and hard work I'm ❤🇮🇳👍👍👍💯✅I'm AC mechanic from indiya
Just wondering why do you need a new contactor if you said it is still powering the other fan?
There was no reason to swap the contactor
