How much was that service call? asking so i know if im getting ripped off

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.

It amazes me how HVAC guys drive screws in unsupported pieces of sheet metal so effortlessly. When I try it, the screws dance around before penetrating and sometimes they push the two sheets apart - a real nuisance when the inner sheet is hidden from view. What's the secret?

I never watch this man channel annnnd im like why is he hugging these kids lmao

if u remove schrader then pulling a vacuum , arent you injecting air back into the system when your putting schrader back in under vacuum ?

how is this bag for commercial and refrigeration? You don’t have no worries of tools falling out while going up a ladder?

My issue is keeping calm, keeping a level head to be able to explain and speak where the customer understands. Taking my tech hat off and putting on my salesman hat

450 psi is a waste of nitrogen. You don’t need more than 150psi. I can see using 300-400psi if you’re actively performing a leak check with a mix of a 1-2 lbs Freon and nitrogen while using a leak detector or your ears to detect a Freon leak.

I've made perfect flares and forgot to put nuts on first aswell.

Looking for digital probes with display on them. Like the fieldpiece vacuum probe.

It must kind of suck to have homeowners always think they're being scammed. I know I'm always somewhat suspicious.

thank you man big respect

Thanks man you always have awesome techniques that actually work!

I really like the leather pouch on your hip

Great job but I would honestly put a uv light in there due to the insulated coffin box mold likes to build up after years thats what id do a little different

I’m glad you mentioned the K type ODDB sensor. I got them for my multimeter and never knew i could plug it into the manifold sweeeeeeet.. i was always wondering about that. Thank You

Thank you for making this video. I’m currently in HVACR school, so this explanation helps a lot

Question: When you remove the hoses after pulling a vacuum (with a 1 hose setup and only 1 service valve), how do you prevent air/contaminants back into the system?

That is nice!

Thank you for the video. Can the manifold refrigerant choice be updated as time goes on?

Does anyone know if the current fieldpiece digital gauges are compatible with new A2L Refrigerants we are moving towards?

Wireless don’t work when you don’t have WiFi

In my opinion if you’re green you should start with analog gauges then move up to digital

Awesome video. Both are good products. I use the manifold for charging or recovering. Probes are good to diagnose or just checking pressures during a maintenance. Another thing to consider is if you have the probes they're alot easier to take up on roofs or things of that nature.

I just have analog gauges but put a T so I can turn my analog’s into digitals.

How are you still liking the van? Any changes?

I just use 2 valve core removal tools.

Been in hvac about 2 weeks now apprenticeship

Quick sling has another wall bracket with adjustable cantilever i use those a lot so you don’t have to put the isolaters behind the arms

I'm over here still using analog manifold lol

What’s your opinion about full package of Refmate 4 from Swiss Refco?

What multi tool and flashlight do you use in that brown patch thing that you have on your belt? I've been working on reefer units on the end of railcars for 20 years, but I want to get into your line of work. They only let us do mechanical stuff. No refrigeration stuff.

Could you make a separate video on the manifolds and how to use every feature it offers

Great video zack

Another thing is that the digital I think if does measure microns for vacuum, correct me if I’m wrong

My setup up is almost identical but I use a T with a hose with a ball valve for charging. Other then that I have the same tools and everything

Also im using Tasco Safety Valve protect from frost bite.

What kind of batteries does the digital manifold use?

Can you use the wireless probes on a 410A system then go to your next job and use is on a R22 system without a problem? Thanks for your videos. God bless

Thanks for sharing as this takes time getting all the angle shots then editing. I strictly use the probes due to all the critically charged units I service along with walk-in coolers/ freezers that you can monitor the box temp when adjusting the charge on the roof.

Appion makes a Charging T that is a lot smaller then that little setup you have

I just picked up the field piece probes but always had the first gen testos mostly for heat pumps, critical charge systems or awkward systems in ceilings (see heat pumps). I’ve always used analog gauges. My company won’t buy digital gauges but I don’t think I would either. Not a fan of screens outdoors and hate batteries dying. I’m sure those digital manifolds are nice but I like analog. Probes are nice for a snapshot of system operation for a report and quick maintenance checks while looking at a dozen units a day. Cheers!

Good video ! i Run testo 557's - Gen 1. so. never used a fieldpiece Manifold. Thanks for the Run through. Does anybody know if u can Silence that annoying beep everytime you push a button on that fieldpiece ?

Yes please make a video on the apps and the pros and cons of each. I'm in HVACR school now and want to use the better app.

Do not use Nylog on flares. Flares are dry fit.

I'm going to uei college for Hvac 10 month program I'm on my 7 almost done and close to graduation your videos will help me learn more thank you so much

Very good work like it . I m that kind of person that I said, I learn. Something every single day. And I learn something on your video. Thanks for sharing

Trane parts are expensive, the condenser coil is a pain in the ass to clean, Goodman is garbage and cheaply made, I have no experience with Bosch AC’s, Rheem is ok

the music was brutal..

Consider using ear protection, especially with that multitool.
