Are You READY For The Summer?? | A Day In The LIFE Of A HVAC Technician
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- The summer heat is here! Are you ready?? Every year I have to prepare myself for the summer months. Its hot and humid, and the calls keep rolling in. This video is more of a ride along, its not about going into detail , its about showing the side of how busy it can get for a one man operation and how I deal with it. I typically don't like to run more than 2-3 service calls in one day, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Hope you enjoy!

You can always tell a good man by how his kids interact with him. You sir are doing it right 👏
So true!
I need a man like that in my life
Doesn't make him a good tech tho
Man, your family is adorable. Keep up the good work. I’m a sparky and love your channel.
Been working with my dad in this field for quite a bit now, and watching your videos make me feel like I'm going to learn so much more overtime as i work, looking forward to the future of the HVAC business!
Same my friend!
It’s a pretty cool career to stick with
You got any tips as someone just coming out of highschool and wanting to get into hvac
@@Zelqyfind an apprentice position then look into community college
What a great family! When that lil one handed you the lunchbox it was adorable.
“booms” bye dada” sweetest words.
Outstanding!!!
Everyone out there in the world 🌍
This is being a Dad, Father, and my all time favorite PoPs.
I feel like I chose the wrong career path. My two close friends are HVAC techs and making bank while I’m at a desk bored lol
Love the family life part of the video. gotta work hard but also keep family time in balance.
I have never been a fan of York products in 39 years in the HVAC trade. Great video and content Zach. Keep up the awesome job man. Peace \m/\m/
Most companies buy their contactors, transformers, etc for the same company anyway. The contactor in a york is the contactor in a trane
Love the content man! I'm on my own as well in the midwest. A few years in and I completely understand a day in the life! Stay blessed and keep grinding brother!
Currently working two jobs from anywhere to 14-18 hours days and it’s killer on the mental. You seem happy and that’s all I needed to see
That maintenance seems expensive? How much would one pay for something similar?
Chris: Your videos are my favorite. Please make more videos. I learn almost every time I watch one. I’d love to see a video and how you handle air balance.
You’re a hardworkin’, sharp tech! Wish you only success! Great channel! Cheers from Denver, Co!
Dude you’re an inspiration. I’ve been in the residential HVAC field for 15 years in South Louisiana (New Orleans). I’m ready to make the leap to my own one man company. I wish I could talk to you more about starting up. Keep up the great videos.
I'm an owner operator on the other side the basin from you,near Lafayette
If you got time I have a few questions I’m new to the Hvac field in New Orleans and just needed a some direction
Did you go to school for this? Or did you just get certified and start working as an apprentice?
I hate tight crawl spaces, I’m far too fat to be belly crawling through 1 foot of clearance 😂. When I put cooling in my house I went wireless in order to avoid pulling new wire. Been solid for the past 5 years. Awesome video man! Sucks that contactor failed so quickly.
I'm a HVAC tech in Florida. Been doing this for 33 years. You do a great job.
Can I become a technician from going to a community college or I should go to a trade school?
I think trade school would be better
Does your Milwaukee shop vac really get a good suction on the pvc? It's slightly bigger than the pvc, so I wasn't sure it would actually be good for that!!! I gotta try that!
how often do HVAC techs deal with crawl spaces?
You should make a video about all your HVAC equipment and truck setup.
That explosión got me!!🤣🤣
Man, brotha! You’re living the life I pray for. Blessed man you are. I’m currently in HVAC school. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, and Thank you for this video! I am 40 yrs old, looking to change my career, and thinking about going to a vocational school to learn the hvac trade. I’m coming from a very different industry (tv/film video editing). My question is, am I too old and inexperienced to start a new career in hvac?
Also, it looks like you have a great family. Cheers! =)
I know it’s been 11 months, but that shortage sounds like a call that I had and it was a bad contactor. Replaced it and it worked perfectly
Tell me who runs all duty systems (FLEXIBLE) and get away with it. Did I read right you service crystal springs ms? What is main you try to sell? I've been in the business 40 yrs
First love your family. I really likr this channel. From ph with love. Godbless mate. Thanks for your videos tutorial.
How well have those Salomon shoes worked out for you? I find I'm lucky if I get 8 months out of them which is disappointing for a $129 shoe.
So I guess I'm not the only one who washes their Milwaukee vacuum out after each use? 🤣🤣😂. I keep mine in my cab, so I don't want that stinking up the Silverado, bad enough as is with my own B.O.
Good video, keep up the good work!
He literally cleaned it out in the next clip
Saludos desde ECUADOR subtitulo Español porfavor
Great video! I'd love to see your Veto MCT loadout for Pre-planned Maintenances!
Can’t wait for school in August. Any tips to get started before hand? Love the videos.
Get ready for 13+ hour a day when you get in the field, expect to miss lots of events, but’s it’s a good field to learn to make a lot of money with no degree
I’m on my third year in the field worked the first 10 months in resi and got lucky to have gotten a job with a commercial/industrial company and much prefer the commercial side but just make sure you learn from the right people you’ll know who’s good by working with different people, don’t take shortcuts and be thorough you’ll never have problems or call backs then but all in all I enjoy my job and the learning process and the more you know the more money there is on the table so don’t get stagnant I’m making more at my job now than the resi guys that have been in the field for 10+ years so commercial is definitely worth checking out if possible for you
I'm going to be a senior this coming up school year and have a HVAC job for the summer. It's a great trade, but get ready to spend some money on some tools like an impact, drill, bits, tape measures, PVC cutters, electrical meter, just about anything you can imagine lol. I plan to go to college for HVAC and possibly some type of business degree
@@tristanwilson2560 work for the union
I wanna do this for a living but scared of spiders 😢will that get in the way of this career
Still looking for a job I just wanna start already smh..... love your videos btw 💯💪🏽
Beautiful family. That's the worst having a new install have issues like that. We know its not us but I know that doesn't feel great for the customer
You use the sman when charge? How come ? Why not just use the probes when charging as well?
Adorable little children. I hope your business is successful
Hey Zack, which wireless transmitter set up do you use? I have never installed one. Thanks. Great content man!
I study this field and I want to jump on the field I’m a family man like you people said it’s to much work and you are out your home a lot it’s true ?
I installed a york split last season and the condenser had leaks on all the u joints It was a nightmare to get it replaced ,took a a month and a half had to go back every 2 weeks to top off the condenser
Why did the contactor go bad? Are you going to report that to whoever the manufacturer is?
Really like this format.
Does HVAC Techs work on toilets? If so what all do y'all do for the toilet
Nice job brother as always! This has been pretty much my typical day lately. When your one man like you and I , you have to be the installer, service tech, parts runner, secretary, and everything else. Then you come home and catch up on paperwork and books and banking. It’s all good though, wouldn’t have it any other way. So blessed to have a thriving business and good loyal customers.
What product are you planning on using to bypass using the control wire for the condenser?
👀
Der sir i wont to learn hvac technology. How can you help me. Pl
Join the king cooper hvac family
I never watch this man channel annnnd im like why is he hugging these kids lmao
I spy a red healer in the back yard. Such loyal dogs. Great family, great service! Hard to find good honest people like you anymore!
@12:53 I KNEW you would do some stupid shit LOL
3rd call, very rare on a york unit that that happens.
That’s all cute, just part of it. Get it done
You have really cool kids!!! ❤️❤️
Scared the crap out of me w the explosion
How do you schedule your calls ? Do you use a software?
Hey zack are you able to tell the comments what type of wifi 2 wire comunication controll kit you will be installing for that customer. I am 21 years old and starting my own service and installation hvac buisness so if I were to ever run into this problem I wont be scratching my head trying to fish 2 wire in a finished basement or attic.
👀

All you need is a 24v transformer, Honeywell redlink compatible thermostat and this remote equipment module.
@@QualityHVACR please make a video of you installing it. I'm over running control wire.
Enjoyed hangin with you for the Day.... How do you like the RunTru line...? What brand of equipment do you offer, best to least...?
My old boss always wanted blow and go PMs. Nothing to sell, get in and get out...Words of a typical nexstar company YOU SELL THEM
Thanks for the video. Look into the schraeder core depressor tool with the probes. They are nice.
How many calls do you average a day? At one time I had 70 men working for me. New installs, change outs, service had 8 men. Good luck and GODSPEED. Stay small makes you more money. Are you on a flat rate pricing?
I watched many video videos
Impossible not to admire professionalism👍👍👍👏👏👏
You remind me of one of my old bosses. Had a huge family and a heart of gold, I haven't finished watching this video yet but I can already tell that you are a good honest man
Great content! I just subscribed !
Zack, did the customer with that new unit you installed by chance have a NEST thermostat? I've seen quite a few failed/welded contactors due to NEST.
That low voltage short. Did it have low and hive pressure safety switches. If it did, did you check them for rubouts? They are in the series with the low voltage y cooling circuit
I need that shirt

Had the same problem on on a gas package unit. Frist tech replaced it and found nothing wrong a few weeks later same problem! Turns out they had a generator for there house for when our power company (PG&E) shuts us down. After talking to the customer for a few Found out they were trying to run it with a small generator. They told me they were told the generator would not work for the package unit, so I think they just forgot. System was also new. Good luck
awesome video brother wish i could've helped on a day like that my guy lol thanks for sharing
How many hours do you work and how much do you make a day
What’s the first step to becoming a legit hvac contractor?
I’m in the construction business for the past 20 years ready for a change
Great content! 3yrs old still good.
Cool seeing the fam, best wishes to you and the clan.
You got me here in slow heat season thinking "oh yeah summer, gotta get my cardio up for ac season " 😅
Have you gotten any complaints about wearing shorts? How about wearing a company shirts versus the generic T? Great video btw!😁
I want to job.. please make a video
Keep up the great videos.
What is the dirtiest attic you've seen ?
Installed York for a couple of years and it was nothing but problems. Install Ruud now and it has been great. York will cost you money bud I'd get away as soon as you can.
How muchdid you make on this day
Looks like your a good Father!
jesus you got me with that contactor hahahaha.
Thank you for all your videos, I’m new in the trade and am about to start a job with a big commercial company. What’s your opinion on commercial vs residential? Which do you prefer?
I like residential and eventually like to do a bit of both. Oh and can you provide a link of where to get HVAC Tactical gear? I’m prior military myself and like the brand.
How often do u gotta climb a ladder in a day ? I'm not my greatest when it comes 2 heights & ladders ?
I love the “Day in the life” content, I’m strongly considering getting into HVAC so it’s nice to see the things I’d be dealing with
Doesn't the brand new equipment have factory warranty? You can't charge the customer for the contactor but it isn't you fault ether
I value your channel I have watched many hvac channels and only learned from your channel most just talk about nothing you got some good tricks keep up the work
Loved that bomb edit
What is your wireless solution? I've run into this before and wireless would have been perfect.
One other thing, for the call that you had that was only shorting out with the outdoor unit low voltage connected did you have more then two wires going outside? You could just change the wires instead of pulling new wire.
Those single pole contactors are incredibly cheap on these new condensing units. I upgraded to a better quality contactor when I installed a new HVAC system on my own house.
EPA regulations state that you can't just keep toping of a unit that loses its entire charge. Make them replace it or tell them no deal.
Dude I live in Nashville TN
Try replacing the contactor. On the call where it kept blowing the fuse.
What time your day start?
Thanks for blowing my speakers with that explosion sound. Why not try and find the leak on the first call? Good work
Iv seen that in new installs. Contactor would stay closed when it stopped 24volts. Just a fluke incident
If you ever have power to both wires at the condenser or have a short in the two wire all you have to do is take the Brown or white wire of the contactor and ground it somewhere on the unit once it gets power from the stat it automatically turns on quick trick that can sometimes save you from hunting a pesky low voltage
lol that explosion was perfect haha :D
Glad you like it :)
Hey you should def throw in on how much money you make a day or that day. That would be really interesting
might be bad contactor
I like that umbrella, handy when it's raining and your doing a job!
Arm I ready for summer? Pshhh I’m pulling 85 hour weeks here in Florida. Summer is here already.
