- Everyday I try to out do myself from the day before. Always tweaking my processes, organization, time management, etc. Incremental growth is my intention. This is how I stay on top of my game out in the field. As a business owner/operator there are a lot of tasks day to day. That's why its very important for me to stay focused on improving my skills. This video is my process on repairing a leaking condenser coil on a Trane rooftop gas package unit. Having the right tools and work flow helped me get the job done!

Good lord has this guy been in the film industry too??!!!
I respect the fact you are willing to turn around and get your camera to have your exit shots. 👍
😂😂😂
Always makes me happy to see one of your videos.
Bruh this man knows how to film a good quality video 10/10💪
Best hvac/r channel on youtube by far
I recently had started my own HVAC company and am trying to get into the commercial field I do all residential right now but have a lot of opportunity for commercial work so I have been watching your videos and learning a lot by seeing how you do things keep up the good work
pretty clever to pull the coil away from base. a classic example of doing what you need to do to get the job done. awesome
Man I love watching these videos I’m only 20yrs old I’ve been doin this kind of work since I was 12
Here in Commiefornia that would be a automatic new package unit for the customer. Great vid.
Agreed
Bermcannon when the coil is that damaged and the unit is that old, it’s better to replace. I’ve made the mistake of trying to save the customer from spending the money on a new unit and just fixing only to have another leak the following summer . It’s not worth it. IMO.
He does it so effortlessly🤦🏾♂️🦾 I respect the craft most definitely💯
Hvac work is hard work especially by yourself, taking the time to video your work , you can tell he loves what he does. Your videos are bad ass bro, keep it going. Your a bad dude , Micheal jackson bad
Haha, thx man!
@@QualityHVACR how long have you been in the trade? And did your stat doing installs first?
Nice repair I also am a solo worker mostly rooftops stay safe brother
I’ve fixed many of leaks on voyagers like that. They are a pain to get to especially if they are up against the tube sheet like that one. Very nice job Sir! Keep up the good work 👍🏼
Good shit man, you’re definitely a inspiration to a hvac tech who wants to own his own company one day soon. Keep up the great work
Anybody else wonder how the camera beat him up the elevator??!
Did you notice he left his camera Lol.
I freaking love your video man! I’m 20 years old and I’m looking to become a technician someday but when I see your videos and the quality of work you do, it really inspires me to be the best I can be. Keep up the great work
i’m 15 and i’m working as a helper now and i can agree 100 % it’s informal too
Just keep that fire and don’t be burned out because others around you don’t see it the same way
It’s impressive to watch you accomplish what you do by yourself.
Awesome job sir you are very professional with all you do. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your time with us see you on the next one.
Yes Zac I do like your videos,you are a very tidy and neat worker,now going to your next vid .....
I’m impressed on the way you manage everything and spec it down
I have no idea what you did in the video. I am 21 and got a job as a hvac installer. I need to learn a lot more and go to school. will continue to watch your videos!
Always enjoy watching your videos, nice job 👍
I have one of those to do (same unit). Saw the oil on the bottom of the condenser fins. Have to go back and verify the leak.
Watching from India Good work.
Great Job and I’m impressed on how well organized for the job you’re doing.
The pack out system is a time saver.
Stay Safe
Well composed brother I love it!
I’m definitely getting the hang of the leak repairs, compresser and evap replacements, watching more experienced techs such as yourself helps me store more and more each time I watch these videos . For sure I’m subscribing!!
I'm a Trane service tech here in LA and that was pretty slick to slide the coil out and repair from the bottom there is a rubber pad the eliminates the vibration on the coil to prevent future leaks. Awesome job love the videos
What was your job before you started your own thing? I play a different role in HVAC now but I was a service technician before. Watching your videos makes me miss it a lot! Thanks, Zach!
Ive never seen a roof hatch that big ever. Usually they are barely big enough for a normal sized man! I saw you rolling up the extension cord, doesnt it suck when electricians dont follow code and put a receptacle within 25' of the unit!
We have those in Indiana
They use them for stairs going to the roof. Probably from an attic space.
Love watching your videos man. Keep it up.
Been watching your vids for a while as I’ve been looking to get in the trades. Decided to go the HVAC route and landed my first job that I start in 2 weeks. Been working in manufacturing for 4 years and felt so stuck. Excited for this new chapter! Keep up the great vids!
Good practices, very similar to my own. I only wish I could get my guys to do the same on every call. "You say you purged, but the callback tells me otherwise"
Love it Man. Entertaining as always. I have been in the trade 23 years but for the past 10 all Controls. Kinda miss the grind. Kinda. Keep doin you man. Awesome as always.
Those bigger voyagers always leak in that same spot, good video 👌
You've got that neat touch!
Dang. You productions are second to none man. Just like the quality of your work. Quality!
Keep up the good work Zac.
Thank you sir!
Quality stuff my guy. Sometimes I wonder if you have a helper behind scenes carrying stuff for you and taking some of the shots but it all looks authentic solo work so props to you man. Stay strong 💪
great work ...nice and clean...tkxs
A wire wheel on a drill or impact works well for cleaning the copper
Unescessary imo
Great job !
Saw one of your trucks the other day at 24i lol
If hiring let me know. Your quality is the best👍
I'm gonna be that guy.. why not use a reducer on the 1/2>3/8? Its a pet peve of mine can't help myself. Great save of an older unit 👏. Brave man torching so close to a live circuit. Nothing stops a Trane..but a leaking condenser coil..lol. be safe out there! Thanks for sharing
Best HVAC videos on TH-cam. Keep um coming.
Man your edits are so clean!
Nice repair !!
Suggestion. Get a Hydraulic swage tool. Hilmor makes an awesome one. It'll save you a ton of time, way cleaner. Great video. Keep up the awesome work.
Nice job on the coil surgery. You are a true tech. 👍
I have fixed 6 of those so far this summer. They are a pain
Good job !
Your videos are great, I just left that same site today, I was working on that i pack right behind you
Great video! And very technical call
I have never been able to patch up a leak and less I cut the metal completely out the solder Would never take. It was always the galvanized Metal wore a hole in the copper tube and the only way I could fix it was the metal had to be cut away completely from around the copper tube. Sometimes I haven’t been able to do it it was too tight depending on the coil. Trane probably sells heel guards for that unit you should try to sell the customer one
Love the tool setup
Solder the copper on the drier before putting it back in there. Make one joint a lil easier
Well he's doing it the right way. Flowing nitrogen.
got to get a transit and make your life easier. Just bought 1 few weeks ago and had an astro van. so much room man. get the mid roof so you can just walk in the back and get what you need. high roof is to high for my taste
Good call. I also have a mid roof Transit. Very convenient. The power is great having an ecoboost, but it has been riddled with repairs...throttle body, turbo, exhaust manifold leaks, wiper transmission, brakes always need replacement, driveshaft recall, blinker electrical issues...etc. we have a fleet of about 22 Transits and the repairs are through the roof compared to even the old E-series.
I did the exact same repair so many times, those trane are tanks, but they always leak in that exact spot
Cool video maybe a couple more tips through out
Nice work
Sparky here great vid
Its always a pleasure to watch your content , really looking forward to much more .
Guys got the FRESHEST tools. Love the videos man. Thanks for showing us newer techs what life can be like if ya have the right gear for the job. 🤙🏼
Always great videos !!
You made it look so easy. It looks that way watching pro athletes too but there is always lot’s of solid sork behind that good result.
Did you add an access port? How did you locate that leak? If vibration caused it, is it likely to happen again nearby? Was that leak just a manufacturing defect? It looked like you read the pressures on your phone. I would have liked a brief description of that equipment. It was nice to see how well organized you had your tools and used the cart to move them into place as much as was possible.
Enjoy the videos and I'm impressed with how easy you make some of the jobs look. Very skilled. I'm a TAB technician or air balancer. I've learned all these skills at one time, but never get to apply them.
Clean repair as always. I enjoyed the ride along.
Great video, as always. However, stop buying those SuperBoosts. They're PTC start devices and only work when the unit has been off for a while and they cool down. KickStart is the way to go.
Great Job 👍👍👍
I love your videos man. I'm interested in starting my HVAC career at 29 years old, ready to quit my job in finance that I've been in for 5 years! Big change, but a much needed one and I'm very excited to embark on this new journey. My question for anyone out there is... what is the best way to get started? Should I be looking at Tech Schools/Classes as a first step? Or would a Union pay for something like that? Appreciate any insight! - Stefan
Good work 👏👏👍👍
Right on bro, keep doing your thing! Mad respect to you
You are a one man HVAC beast!!
Nice repair! That could’ve been a nightmare but like you said it went better than expected. Can you suggest a decent leak detector?
I’ve only used Inficon leak detectors. Here’s the one I currently use:
www.trutechtools.com/Inficon-TEK-Mate-Refrigerant-Leak-Detector
You make it seem so easy....great job
!Man you make it look so easy keep up the good work and video coming! 👍
Great video as always...
Good video always professional
The multi-tool carbide blades advertise that they cut metal and it sucks because they’ve never worked for me when cutting thin gauge metal.
Carbide tip *
Some are better than others.
The carbide ones with teeth that resemble a hacksaw blade normally work pretty well. Main thing is to keep them moving and not overheat the blade. Bosch blades are pretty good. Fein are a bit pricey.
Total pass on any of the Stanley/B&D/Craftsman/DeWalt family of crap. Dremel is cheap too. Never tried Rockwell or Makita.
Milwaukee is coming out with blades, I'm looking forward to trying them when they become available.
Dude, great channel! Can you make videos for young guys that are getting ready to headset into the field. Greetings from L.A. keep up the good work my guy!
Great video as always brother, always nice to see Techs doing things right and doing a good job at it! At first when you put the cover back on with your probes still on I thought you forgot them, then you pulled it up on your phone and I knew you meant to leave them there. Lol
Love the videos! I understand it takes a lot of work to make such high quality videos. Thumbs up from me!
Excelent Job
Nice work sir i am a big fan 😊
Another good one. Might be cool to see troubleshooting calls
Nice work man! Great video as always
Good job. Can you please tell everyone the name of the nitrogen purge regulator you were using please?
www.esabna.com/us/en/news/newsletters/march-2018/victor-introduces-pressure-flow-hybrid-regulator.cfm
Preciated bro.
Another great video man, very well organized and neat! keep up the great work
I fixed a leak in the same spot on a 30 ton Trane unit.
Hey man! I'm a HS Senior and i'm thinking of doing HVAC after HS and going to a trade school. But uh i was just wondering what books or reading material would you recommend to a guy who needs to learn the basics,etc. Cause i would prefer by time i start trade school i would know maybe just a little bit just so i'm familiar with certain things at the trade school and not be running around there like a chicken with it's head cut off. Anyways, thanks man!
you do nice work while taking the time to film good videos,keep it up bro 👍
Great stuff,always Enjoy the Quality in your work. 💪
Can you do a video of your Service truck and what you keep stock.
Nice work, how long did it take you to complete the repair? You made it look simple.
Good video looked good
Great video
Could you do a video on the sensors and app that you use when you are testing a unit?
I sure can.
Good video brother
Nice you were able to pull the coil out to get to the leak. Those leaks right on the tube sheet can be almost impossible to repair.
Top notch my friend keep it up.
Good Video... Subscribed. Thanks
Nice work and clean
