Well I’m glad that Josh is consistent, consistently awful about showing up to work on time! Good by and good riddance!
Huge mistake !
He will get fired again soon I'm sure, good for content though 😂
That's our entire younger generation it seems. Mike was lucky to find guys he has now so far.
Good Job Daniel. She's a crusty one Mamma. Make the trades safe again Daniel. The fins slow the combustion gasses down so more heat is transferred to the heat exchanger. Smash that like button and Subscribe please people.
Nice work🎉I’m sure Mike appreciates the good workers even more when others are no shows.
💯
Great job Danial. As far as a Josh goes. You can’t change a bros spots. Lol
Some people are just not morning people. I worked afternoons/evenings and that worked for me.
@@RGNHomeSolutionsit doesn't matter what kind of person you are gotta show up on time, no excuses
First time I heard a tech explain why teflon shouldn't be used on gas fittings, nice!
Thank you!
Didn't Mike say teflon tape even if it's the yellow gas one is not code in Nassau?
Daniel if you had a piece of 3 1/2 metal track you could’ve covered that crack, flatten the crack a couple of zip screws your done.
Sorry flatten the track
Glad to see you had great weather for this job !
Me too!
Excellent work as always Daniel!!!!! Hate that dude has cancer but he should never have done a " repair " like that. Bonus is you figured out the problem your other co workers could not figure out. Huge asset to the company. My boiler has the old school expansion tank mounted to the basement ceiling I drain myself. Runs 12-15psi with cast iron radiators. Pressure at 20 still sounds good to me as well.
3:42 sounds like a personal problem 🤣 nice work brotha!
Hacks Kill Unsuspecting Homeowners. 🤪👎
Keep in mind --for a small crane you can call a tractor trailer tow wrecker / rotator to get most anything on 2 stories or so. Check into it sometime.
That costs money
But thanks for the tip
I’ll see what happens
Campbell brothers save the day 😊
I can smell this video clear over here in Ohio. 😂🤣😂🤣
another fun day at the office
We all told Mike it was a bad idea. His problem. Lol
Mikey was hitting the Crack pipe to take back Josh, we all told him it was a bad idea. Dude is a chronic fk up
Jobs well done Daniel
Thanks
As long as the two transformers are in phase you can have two. It is when they are wired to two different phases on the primary side that things don't go well
Look at the wiring diagram for a taco 3 wire zone valve. You have “T,T” from the boiler (a circuit mixed with the boiler transformer) intertwined with the zone valve transformer. Always baffles me.
Don’t know anything about boilers but if I installed one I would always put a tee where the pressure gauge is that way you could install your own,make sure there’s is correct. Keep up the good work ( very smart young man)
You can always screw a pressure gauge to a boiler drain, using a few adapters.
I have a pressure gauge that screws right into the boilers, i keep it in my tool bag it is one of my most important tools.
Good job 👍🏽
Thanks 😁
good work !!
Thank you!
Where is the live chat
Idk it works for me
Nice job! Shame about Josh.. was always told the best ability to have is availability some people deserve second chances but seems like he didn’t at this point..
Huge mistake hiring Josh back, we all knew he would fk up again. That dude is a liability, type of guy to get somebody badly injured or killed. Im sure he will get fired again lol Mikey was smoking crack to take him back
#1🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂
#2😂😂😂😮😮😮
So who’s the genius that cut the side of that box up to get a look at the heat exchanger instead of doing it the proper way? Unless you completely insulate and cover that it is not gonna perform the way it should.
The prior guy who worked on the unit. It was never insulated to begin with, it was just a piece of sheet metal so I don’t think it’s that big of an issue
@@DCHVAC thank you for the response. I enjoy watching your videos because you seem to be extremely knowledgeable about what you’re doing.
Yep, where is it.... Doobie Daniel
wow some crazy setups people have that closet on outside of house for heating system is stupid who designs a house like that? I would be worried the door would blow open in a storm or you can't get to it when snow is piled up in front of door.
It’s not stupid it’s great, unlimited access to fresh combustion air, easy serviceability, easy replacement. The doors are strong and they’re held together by a good lock setup. Just shovel the snow out of the way, New York only gets so much snow. I love setups like this, the piping needs to be worked on, but the location is amazing.
Need a trap on that condensate drain. If the evaporator is on the return side of the blower. If you look at the curb you can tell it’s rusted out also possibly from unit not being able to drain properly in the A/C mode.
Unit clearly states not to trap it it has an internal trap.
Do you service in Medford?
Medford is a bit far for us, we’re based in Nassau county. Reach out to the office for further information.
Didn't fix the trap on the Ruud RTU?
Unit specifically states it has an internal trap do not add one.
Can you quote the code that says you can’t use Teflon on gas? I’ve always heard mixed claims by different people, it’s ok, it’s not ok. I can never find it in the code.
I looks in the fuel gas code of New York State. Found nothing disqualifying Teflon.
403.9.3 “shall be resistant to the actions of liquified petroleum gas”
If you do any minute research you’ll find almost all teflon tape products (PTFE) are 100% teflon, and regardless contain teflon. They are ALL equally immune to being broken down by gasoline, LP, NG, Jet A, etc.
That’s all that I’ve ever looked into and documented and that’s far beyond good enough reason.
@@DCHVAC nice thanks I found the full quote
Thread joint compounds shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas or to any other chemical constituents of the gases to be conducted through the piping.
Looks like that allows for Teflon as long as it’s designed for it. Such as
1/2" x 1000" Gas Guard PTFE Thread Sealing Tape
@@DCHVAC and actually, I looked up the chemical compatibility of PTFE you should do the same it lists a lot of things, among those things, in alphabetical order very specifically it lists natural gas for compatibility . Look into it.
Personally I use dope, but doesn’t seem like Teflon is illegal to me even with the code you quoted.
@@DCHVAC it also include liquified propane and petroleum. As “A” compatibility
First
Congrats! 🍾🎉🎊🎈
…. Too slow Scott!
@DCHVAC been busy just got home
Little blue pill
Why not just opt for a new unit?
They don’t wanna spend the $$$
