Great stuff Elliot. It takes a lot of courage to throw yourself out there like that. Looking forward to the next one. How about a before after video from a really dirty unit with TD, pressures, and customer response to the change? The best feeling is when you can show the customer the difference and they appreciate it. Techs look down on maintenance and even though it can feel remedial it is one of the most important things we can do…especially when we can go the extra mile and get the customer involved. It builds so much value in the customers eyes that when you do go back for service “you are already their company” and they have the trust in you. Keep em coming Elliot, that little clip of you breaking out of the condenser box was hilarious. Not sure whose idea that was but brilliant.
great video and great job. only thing i do different is, i check system pressures and components first before the cleaning begins. i do this for several reasons. one: id find issues right away instead of cleaning a part im going to have to replace anyway. (used to piss me off spend time cleaning a coil and then find out its leaking. second when u run a system umder normal circumstances it will show u where its struggling. for example i have high head pressure or compressor ratio then when i go to clean the condenser coil i will split them to see of it needs to be cleaned and quote job appropriately. thanks for sharing
I am in Baltimore . I am a master HVAC technician, and I am on a journey to create the strongest preventative maintenance HVAC team in Maryland and training. I want to offer the most detailed experienced and integrated preventative maintenance trainings in Baltimore, Maryland. If you have any advice for any training that you have, please let me know.
Bert is deep, as in "still waters run deep" you can just tell. His thoughts are not our thoughts - we probably wouldn't want them to be but they are his thoughts - DEEP thoughts. Celebrity status has worn him thin - a years sabbatical (paid) would make him a little shallower. Think about it Bryan.
3:33 - Don’t do this at home, kids. The capacitor charge is held between terminals, _not_ between terminal and ground! Even if there were a bleed resistor on that cap (which I couldn’t see), I wouldn’t trust that it is not burned open and not able to remove the charge after power is removed. _Always_ use a 5 to 15k carbon resistor to bleed away any residual voltage before handling.

Thank you for the video for all of us in the HVAC field.🤝

Only outdoor unit service. Please include the next video on the indoor unit as well...

RIP Bert.
That shop vac down in there sucking up leaves scratches an itch I didn't know I had.
# great video 👍

Tell Bert to stay out of McDonald's, it's not kosher, that way he won't have any issues with people bumping into him 😂
