It always makes me laugh when dispatch calls me at 530 on the way home and says" Can you run one more call? It's JUST a water leak. Should be really quick .". It's never really quick, nor is it ever just a water leak. 😀
20 years in the field, and I’ve learned so much from your videos and the emails back and forth, thank you again for taking the time to make these entertaining and more importantly educational videos.
Im a new tech, and self employed. Your channel is my primary source of education 👍 ive watched some of the other channels you recommend, yours is my favorite though 😁
I was a general contractor for 2 years, that's not very long, and decided I wanted to be able to flip a house and do my own HVAC. I took the local program for HVACR and started taking the work it when the phone rang. I wouldn't recommend anyone try this without experience. I make so many mistakes on refrigeration compared to experienced techs. I love it, and luckily I have recently had a seasoned tech tell me to call him anytime. Had to cash that in recently. Anyway I could go on forever. I love your channel 🎉
Appreciate everything you do on the job, hard to find excellent technicians like you. Ive been doing this 20years, it's still great to see how you diagnosis the faults. Always learning 💯💥💯
As a newer tech to the fields, I can say you are the sole reason I’m going to a refrigeration class in September to work on coolers and walk in freezers 👍👍
Wow Jonathan you're making a great decision! I'm honored to be told that! Get as much hands on education as you can get and learn from as many people as you can.
Nice job! It looks like, by the comments, you are speaking to the rookie's and veterans alike. I have been doing a/c and refrigeration for 30 years and I still learn something watching your videos. The biggest thing I have learned is how much I don't miss being in the field! I tip my hat to you and everyone else that runs service calls every day! Thanks for putting in the time effort to make these videos. I know how much more time it requires to put one of these together and get it uploaded. Thanks!
I'm lucky to have switched to a diversified company that I did. I was very bored doing residential HVAC only. That's why I started doing generators in 06. Thanks for the kind words man!
Brother Rick as hot as a summer this year has been, you sir are so right you don’t have much time to work and check every little thing, I’m off to Kentucky for continuing chiller school for the week stay safe and hydrated brother videos are great
I really enjoy the humor. That's the only way to make a long week tolerable. Besides you show some of the crazy stuff found on jobs. Thanks for sharing.
good thing you "warshed" out the condensers. 🤠 not poking fun at you, make same think of Grandma and relatives that had the same twang. lol better to remember them any and all ways vs. forget them!
Home Depot also has Velcro straps with a carbine clip that’s pretty sturdy. I use them for hoses etc strap one on the meter and m12 drill clip on the my belt straps for maintenance and my Klein 1/4 5/16 screwdriver. Knipex pliers. Good video Rick keep up the good work.
Be grateful there work. Not every job will be the way you would like (Less the safety issues). I was at the top of my game but my ego took me rite down to nothing, and it took a handful of years of self examination to see where I have failed and for gratitude and humility to make me whole again.
I understand what you’re saying. Pride always comes before the fall plus that kind of attitude will create more hate than friends, but generally what you’ll see out of me as I am usually upset because of other peoples work ethics, and that is portrayed as complaining about or bragging about certain things. I just try to do the job right every time if possible.
@@HVACRSurvival I actually laughed out loud when I watched it. If that was the plan, than mission accomplished. Looking forward to the next video my friend.
Great video Rick. I think I speak for all when I say we appreciate the hard work of putting out these videos. Your a great tech and I enjoy watching the videos.
This happens a lot with ac. Cleaning the indoor and outdoor coil. All of a sudden suction line freezing up causing low pressure faults. I try explaining that the system has to be clean in order to get a proper diagnosis and may be a callback.
Great job Rick, I know some jobs are lousy, but you got skills, and know what's up, and as long as your pulling money for your time, don't sweat it will pay off eventually, more jobs and bigger payroll.
Those Rheem condensers…ugh. Pita to clean. Especially 5 inches away from an obstruction. I’m not into S&M videos, so I’m going back to my own torture..yardwork
@@HVACRSurvivalI'm glad to see Amazon has those now. I needed one some years ago, and ended up buying it from an RV parts supplier. Bought two just in case, and I was glad I did later. Some faucets aren't threaded, though.
start of video disconnect. at least they removed all the guts of it, to not look like you'll disconnect anything by pulling the plug.. 🤣🤣 that is exactly what I keep warning about and have seen uncountable times!
Something simple like that we do it. Our company has over 100 employees, we have every certification needed to do just about anything under the sun. In the video I just recorded today I'm actually doing work in the electrical panel changing out a breaker and replacing burnt wire.
“Warsh” LOL Are you from Ohio/Pennsylvania? That’s what my mom and aunt say! Do you say ruff for roof? I get made so much fun of for saying those words in Florida lol great video keep up the awesome work 👍
@@HVACRSurvival were you working at a Pizza place downtown that starts with an "R" yesterday?? I don't want to put the name here since I don't know how you are with location. I seen a guy that looked like you when I was driving by
That's one thing I've had to learn over time, doing everything perfectly all the time just isn't realistic. Sometimes you just have to Frankenstein a monster. But you should still use common sense and be as thorough as you can with the time you're given.
I have seen stuff way worse than that on some jobs one time I saw someone ran two wires from the disconnect to make 120 just sticking out through a knockout to hook a cheater cord up to was that really necessary 😂😂
@@HVACRSurvival No worries! Just commented Great Vid as always. Wanted to let you know that I used your TruTech code. Spent around 5k over the last 3 weeks. Hopefully they reward you well!
I know the feeling, last week was horrible. That's why I didn't get a video out until wednesday. Saturday and Sunday I got my butt handed to me at a grocery store.

@@coreybabcock2023 That's why I said I always laugh, I don't always say yes...lol. Benefits of being the senior tech.

Thanks Randy🙏🙏. That's awesome!

Wow that's really cool, so you started your own business while starting out new as a tech at the same time? That seems like a lot of work?

The kinda people who don't have smoke detectors beeping on battery low, they beeped for a year and went dead.

That's awesome 👍👍 thank you!
Perfect idea for a video..How to diagnose an ac unit by feel
That’s called “ hands on training”. Good job Rick
You are so right, a techs hands and feeling equipment can a lot of times point you in a direction to check first. Great video!

Rick , I enjoy watching you explain your thoughts with your viewers ! You are very knowledgeable ! Thanks for your great work ethic !
I appreciate that! Your very welcome
I really enjoy the humor. That's the only way to make a long week tolerable. Besides you show some of the crazy stuff found on jobs. Thanks for sharing.
It was crazier but I thought it might be taken as disrespectful to the client. So when in doubt.... Cut it out😞🤫
Rick what a fantastic job on this one

This is a gem, smile and nod. 5:32

Nicely done Rick! Real world HVAC right here 💪
Thanks brother 👍👍
You deserve many more subs. I want more content from you!
Find me more🤜🤛🍺🍺
Great video Rick. Always enjoy your videos and your humor. I still learn something every video you make and I appreciate it!
Much appreciated 🙏👍👍
Brilliant video again 👍🏻👍🏻 you deserve all the subs and views 👍🏻

Excellent fix 👍
Good man. Not there to reinvent the wheel.....just make sure it rotates a little easier rhan before. I would've done the same thing you did
Thanks man!
I've gotta love your sarcasm 😂 greets from Germany 😇
😁😁😁🤜🤛🍺🍺
My hand is trained and has been since all we really did was “Beer can cold” 35 years ago here in Phoenix Arizona
I used to do it too. It was usually a little over charged but it worked. 🤫😁😁
Nice work Rick.
🙏🤜🤛👍👍
Love the carpet they have.
Nothing but the best. 😁

What's the adapter for sink?
This is just like the one I used. amzn.to/45gPcD8

Nice turd polishing. Stay hydrated in this heat. Been 110 here in DFW 😢
Thanks bro, that was from July. It was crazy hot.
Keeping it real ☺
Have you worked on air cooled chillers much?
Thank you for making videos I've watched them all
We have a lot of them, I'm just getting a chance to work on them recently.
start of video disconnect. at least they removed all the guts of it, to not look like you'll disconnect anything by pulling the plug.. 🤣🤣
that is exactly what I keep warning about and have seen uncountable times!
Like Steven Lavimoniere says: "It's a real shitshow momma!"
🤣👍👍
Great Video. Thank you for making these video. Thank you for sharing
Your welcome!
👍
Awesome video stay cool out there learn another from you
🙏👍👍
Vids are awesome!
Thanks Bill!!
Reasons i don't do any jobs like this the heat and humidity and having to climb around nasty hot attic's
This was my first time here.
Great video. In the situation for the disconnect, do you quote it or have sparkies do it?

What kind of alarm do you have on your service van? I listen to that a couple times and I couldn't make out what you were saying
Remote car start, with glass break sensor, motion and it pages to the remote. Comes from the dei family of alarms like viper etc
@@HVACRSurvival were you working at a Pizza place downtown that starts with an "R" yesterday?? I don't want to put the name here since I don't know how you are with location. I seen a guy that looked like you when I was driving by
@@gtpforever yes and I have a video of it.
@@HVACRSurvival can't wait to see it
I have electrical tape last 15 years in full sun.
Why put two condensers so close?
Probably didn't want them to get lonely 🤣jk, the furnace were just as close it's likely why.
Are you feeling okay? You said wash not worsch(estershire) 😂😂😂
Edit you said it at 8:42 🥰🥰🥰
I'm more aware of it now🤣, it's still going to slip out at times.
That's one thing I've had to learn over time, doing everything perfectly all the time just isn't realistic. Sometimes you just have to Frankenstein a monster. But you should still use common sense and be as thorough as you can with the time you're given.
Right on 👍👍
a big fat bowl of AWESOME SAUCE
You're too kind!🙏👍👍

Your talking doesn't bother me. When in doubt use mute
