Hey Curtis, you might want to consider backing into driveways when in less than desirable neighbourhoods. In that way those passing by casing out potential victims can’t see what’s inside your van, making it a little less tempting. Anyway, stay safe man.
AND .... you can GTFO much faster!... smFh
Those are guard dogs, any where in chains length.
Never understood people who just get a dog just to have them chained in the backyard 24/7.....
Its just to alert to people nearby. Security alert really.
And illegal to keep dogs chained up in your yard in a lot of places.
@@kevinc7632 If your dog bites a child or adult you may be faced with a lawsuit for damages. I had an untrainable german shepherd dog, didn't bite but scared people. A neighbor came threatening me and I had to dispose of the dog!
Me either. Mine does a good job of alerting inside far as I know
Some people don't sleep in the bed with their dogs.
“Dirty Hands - Clean Money” 👍
Both my exes made a whining sound there evap was always froze LOL
Mad Dog Air Conditioning . I most certinly love watching and imagining what you're thinking.
Congrats Curtis on the Bosch sponsorship!
Thanks!
I've learned from doing my own DIY home projects, that no job is ever straightforward. There's always something extra, big or small, that has to be fixed too. 😁
Nice work Curtis.
Thanks!
Good job take the easy with the hard the nasty with the clean part of the job ud b surprised how many times a tech forgets to check the drain plugs and u show up to a motor burnt out full of water few more parts and they will have a new system 😊👍
What a neighborhood
Love watching you work, I have recently started doing my own HVAC maintenance at my own home, except anything to do with gas and have learnt so much with your daily presentations. Thanks for sharing your daily routine, I always look forward to see what problems you encounter and how you solve them! Great work!
Thanks
Good repair!! Seems like every where you go somebody is after you with a weed whacker 😅. The Bosch units look pretty good and I’ve heard good reports from them. If you can get em where you can make money and install them affordable you’ll be busy I’ll come down and give you a hand lol. Bout all I could give here lately lol
Great job,Curtis!
Thanks!
I've installed about 25 so far they are absolutely worth it. I installed a 3 ton indoor with a 5 ton outdoor with no heat strip. You can safely oversize condensers on these. The customers oil fired combi-boiler didn't need to run heat last winter. Only issues so far is a condenser fan motor screeched to a halt and they tend to run better with dumb thermostats (or at least with cycles per hour set to 1).
Enjoy all your videos. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
In a Lot of Cases, it’s what they do in the Hood so they can Hear if the Po Po are making a Surprise Visit to their Crib. 😬👍
You done well Curtis under the noisey barking conditions 😟 Au
Thanks
1:32 - Sounds like the compressor is in internal bypass?
Aha! Condenser fan motor failed. I've been watching too many HVAC videos... Well, if I ever need to make a career change, at least I have some HVAC background! 😆
I really really wish they would make it so you could choose a suction pressure / saturation temp. The default 47 degree and the accelerated cooling 37 degree coil target temp are both way too high for good humidity removal in humid climates. It would be absolutely amazing if you could select something lower like 33 or 34 degrees to just keep the coil above freezing but wring out as much moisture from the air as possible.
Man you do some areas I wouldn't even park my van in. Life's to short and mines to important to help those that simply don't care.
IMO, they should make 2 cable outlet options. One on the "front" and one on the "side", so installer can have the option to not block the access panel!
Midea makes Bosch. They are very good units!
They also make ACPRO EQUIPMENT AS WELL AS MANY OTHER BRANDS
Hope you have a high speed remote hole puncher on you for these instances.
I e had nothing but problems with those trade pro motors, the condenser motors most of the time but I e had a bad blower motor as well
I have a Bosch 19.5 SEER electric package unit installed a year ago on my Park model home in the Coachella Valley and it has provided incredible comfort in our 120 degree days/90+ nights while keeping my electric bill 25 percent lower than the 14 SEER unit it replaced. I could not be happier with this unit or my service from Blair HVAC.
Nice 😊
Thanks 😊
Yes I think Bosch is the best. One problem china owns them now and I refuse to install one in my house
China has lots of foreign investors since labor costs there are lower!
And now they own York as well.
I heard those knees cracking.
I hope you got cameras in/on your van.
I'm a little scared of Bosch.. they look so cheap. But I'm going to have to start selling something else because all my distributors are out of heat pumps USA wide. I'm kinda glad to see you installing them.
Not cheap at all. I've put in a couple and they're built nice. The last Bryant I put in half the screws weren't screwed in all the way and some were missing.
I've installed about 25 so far they are absolutely worth it. I installed a 3 ton indoor with a 5 ton outdoor with no heat strip. The customers oil fired combi-boiler didn't need to run heat last winter. Only issues so far is a condenser fan motor screeched to a halt and they tend to run better with dumb thermostats (or at least with cycles per hour set to 1).
Why put in heat pumps at all?
@@2012kia In many areas, it's become code due to energy efficiency. Even in the South, some nights you need a little bit of heat and during the daytime you still need AC.
3:29 it should absolutely be illegal to have dogs chained up. 1st offense $1,000 per dog. 2nd offense $4000 per dog. 3rd offense 6 months in jail. Absolutely disgusting. Like why have on if all you're going to do is leave it outside chained up.
you should have turned the truck around so your not exposed to the street incase you get a DRIVE BY plus have a video camera install 360 on the van running in case you get jumped maybe even borrow one of the fighting pit bulls he raising tie it to the front bumper lol I would not get caught dead in that neighborhood best of luck
If I lived there, those dog owners and I would have major problems.
maybe this will help.... THE WONDERFULL Rocky Kanaka who sits with humane society dogs in the kennels to help them out of their scared state, uses some sort of AI sound canceller in his phone or cameras? of all the other dogs barking (but not his voice) in his videos. I am not an HVAC tech, (retired aerospace) but i sure learn a lot from you. Thank you.
One problem Bosch is customer service is take forever for answer phone
Wonder how many times is butt cheeks puckered when he walked by those dogs
Can you explain fan directions and what you are looking at on fan card orientation. Thanks
There are a couple of pairs of wires coming out of the motor; two orange, two yellow. Connected orange-orange and yellow-yellow, the motor turns in one direction. Connected orange-yellow/orange-yellow, it turns in the other direction. He sets it based on the direction that will have the fan exhaust out the top of the condenser.
For the new techs: He talks of "plugs", These are typically plastic in what looks a bit like a lubrication hole, but that's not it - it's for water drainage.. Remove the plug that will be facing down.
If it’s like Bosch spark plugs lord help us.
Wonder how many times he’s rack to sheds up against the trailer hitch they should be a counter
"Self tapping screw" is a bit of a misnomer. You need a dent in the surface you wish to screw into. If not your "self tapping screw" becomes and " self dancing screw"😅
She can fix a water heater 😂
You know that's right!!!
Sorry Curtis, not a fan of the new Bosch units. So far the reliability is just not there. Time will tell I guess....
Bosch is made by Midea, which sucks. Just my opinion.
You've pretty much replaced that whole Ruud unit piece by piece! Lol
Because you were just there you waived the service call? Then charged for the motor and cap parts plus the labor?
I don't think those Ruud condenser are big enough. It seems like you replace more of those than any other brand. Maybe having only two blades isn't enough air flow. JAG
If one of those dogs evet got out.
!
Got one of those motors last week. Do you have a 40/10 to match it? No we don't. Humm
Hey Curtis have you actually installed a Bosch yet? Curious your thoughts
Not yet
id refuse service with no other way to get back there besides walking past that fence that tree is equally as terrifying.. that things just WAITING to fall on someone or their car.
Please buy you a roll of plumbing strap
I need to
Thanks Bosch! Do they make r32 systems?
I don’t think so
BOSH (which includes Johnson Controls brands), Lennox and Trane have all decided to use R454B. Honestly its a silly decision since 454B is a blend that includes R32 and has a lower capacity.
Did you charge for labor?
WHY would that home owner keep throwing more money at that thing? 🥴
Bosh or Gree ????
You need to carry some bear pepper spray.
R454b is a hard pass for me. 410A or R32 all the way!
I haven had experience with either one yet. So, no opinion.
Why would you say hard pass on 454b but like 410a? Lol
@@gtpforever because FU?
@@raulrse well that doesn't work. Come back with something that makes sense 👍
As a matter of fact, you don't label "trailer parks" when you go to them!
do you charge a "lazy bum" surcharge for those with nasty houses?
Is everyone is saying "Use a drill" when he is attaching those straps. Make a pilot hole first. 🤨😬
I say this out loud every time but he doesn't listen. He needs some USA made drill headed screws. He's going to stick one through his finger one of these days.
Yea, those are some dangerous dogs, nothing good or safe about them. I would refuse to service that house, unless they were removed.
Why is there two duel caps in that thing is one just a single just a big case
You work in some shady hoods.... I would not be surprised if your van got broken into because they know you got tools and equipment and parts.
Do you get hazzard pay?
He owns the company...no he doesn't get hazard day
You think that's a rough neighborhood?
Well, yeh it is
How much did Bosch pay you to say that 😂
Make that money bro, Bosch ad is much better than stupid nordvpn ad 😂😂
Those people who treat dogs like that are classified as morons
Being a HVAC trainer for Sears and having my own company for a number of years, my suggestion for you is to treat "every" repair as if it was your own. Not trimming the strap, leaving wires lose, not taking a vac to clean out debris is just not professional. Please take my remarks as they were attended, which is only to help you. God Bless.
Did you mention global warming? What did you do sell your soul?
I'm sure it's a prepared statement, as most manufacturers provide when sponsoring a video or channel. Sometimes there's a script that must be read verbatim, other times it's a list of bullet points the sponsor requires you to list in whatever manner you choose.
Believe it or not global warming is a real thing. It makes more sense if ur slightly educated 😂😂
Ahh yes, another climate change denier, whose feelings got hurt by a dose of reality.
Why did you have to say rough neighborhood. Why not label it as you do your other calls. As you would say" I have a no cooling call" Call it what it is! Not where it is! A client is a client
regardless where they live!!! You didn't go there to judge the area, you went to service the A/C. COME ON MAN!!!
OK, so you live down the same street, we get it ...
Pitbulls should be outlawed
A dog is only as dangerous as its training, or lack thereof. Fifty years ago, Dobermans were getting the bad rap; then it was German Shepherds, then Rottweilers. Now it's pitbulls. They don't look anywhere near as mean if their ears aren't docked; THAT sort of mutilation is what should be illegal.
