33:42 must be nice being able to come back when it's cooler. me and my coworker did roof condenser install last week during a 111°F day in palm springs. we checked the roof surface temperature.. was 160° lol
ohhh man I know the struggle. One year we were installing 2 x 15-ton Lennox rooftop units on a dry cleaner's building in the middle of summer and the steam stacks up there were killer!!!! The owner of the place left at one point and brough us all slushies to drink!!
I am very lucky to be exposed to such a variety of equipment and problems in a week. I think it's so interesting that I made a whole TH-cam channel :) Thanks for watching :)
Watching You work makes me miss hvac work. To work with someone that's happy and excited to work and knowledgeable to boot would be fun. So much different from the guys I used to work with.
You know how to clean a coil! Most people just stand back like they are washing a car. Well trained! I used a 3/4 ball valve with a hose fitting on the inlet side and reduced the outlet down to 3/8 copper and put it right against the coil to wash it out, works great! I have never seen a pump that pumped into another pump, they must have been stoned to do that. You guys like Lennox units I see! Never heard of Allied. TXV take the bulb off and it should open.
after about 5 years in business, we changed or summer work shirts to gray instead of navy. Made a world of difference. We remained much cooler with the lighter color shirts.
WOWIE - That was sure a surprise find, up there (frozen & fuzzy) ! I can relate to how good that feels (used to work in a commercial Kitchen & loved going into the walk-in freezer and just CHILLING) ! AARGH - all that deferred maintenance ! My thought would be to entice them to call for service sooner and reward that, or penalize them for holding-off too long, as in this instance ! Pity there hasn't a water source in that Mech. room, which appears may actually be the water-entry room ! I agree - best to dress for the conditions, especially when so hot. Can't really imagine anyone complaining & if they did, insist on it being in writing, which you would likely be receiving and opening. I`d be pants off as much as possible, in shorts, even when driving and wear pants again only as needed. Root Beer, or Coke, anyone, running down that roof drain - LOL ! WOWIE - another super fuzzy find ! Teamwork - us all looking for that No. 7 ! Notice, also, your Likes are climbing like monkeys in a jungle !!! 360-degree camera left in your truck - you have us all Spoiled, now, Jessica ! Nice to see you still excited on a Crane day ! Nothing like experience, when diagnosing a stubborn problem ! KNEW you were kidding, with that over-the-shoulder toss gag ! Love your antics and enthusiasm, which keeps us coming-back for more !
They really hate the wind baffles. BUT - they are from the manufacturer themselves, they are Samsung OEM parts AND they solved our problem. But others know better about your jobs they're not at (LOL)
Now is the time for your white shirt to aid in reflecting some of the rays of the sun. Don't dark colors absorb the heat? Every little bit helps when it's this HOT. Stay cool Jess!

Awesome stuff, mad respect.

Good stuff.
The heat here in Florida is even worse because of the high dewpoint.
Ohhhhhh I bet!!! I was in Florida last November. It was glorious that time of year.
🎉🎉🎉 always making the best vlogs ❄️❄️

I keep saying we need to switch to a summer uniform to keep us from dying out there!!! It really take it out of you on those rooftops!!
Quite of experience from the link, well updated regards.
Do you also work on reefer units on trailers?
No, unfortunately not. Most of those are DC power and we typically only work on AC stuff. Those trailers seem to be a refrigeration specialty.
How hot is it? This past week in Dayton, Ohio, I was on a rooftop AC, and it was 130 F on the roof.

Idk about it not being the TXV, but i have had them being bad right out of the box.
What do people on IG say to you about the Samsung unit.
They really hate the wind baffles. BUT - they are from the manufacturer themselves, they are Samsung OEM parts AND they solved our problem. But others know better about your jobs they're not at (LOL)
Get you a boonie or a wide brim straw hat. You wont regret it!
Jess,those volt sticks your using aren’t always reliable u should use a meter for your own safety
Now is the time for your white shirt to aid in reflecting some of the rays of the sun. Don't dark colors absorb the heat? Every little bit helps when it's this HOT. Stay cool Jess!
Absolutely true, my friend. It's definitely time to switch to a light coloured summer uniform. But it will get dirty so quickly!
7:09 God I love America. Our buildings have water spigots on the roof.
ohhhhhh that would be so amazing. Sometimes buildings have them close enough to pull a hose on to the roof. But a lot of buildings have nothing.
Please use a meter to check power. Dont use the dead man's stick
❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍
Being a HVAC Technician doesn't mean we get to enjoy the benefits of it
Where I live we have the heat in the summer and the snow in the winter
I keep saying to myself "This is the life I've chosen!!!"
Brutal. 😢
Get a rope for pulling up the ladder, and get a big straw hat!
When people dont change their filters and they are not handicap, you need to charge extra( idiot fee ) they will learn.
