Awesome video and Awesome job. I don't think I've ever seen a video where someone Ohms out a compressor during thermal overload. That was really interesting and educational. Thanks for postng!
I just went by the house yesterday and the water is still running, also the wasp rebuilt their nest and are well on their way to world domination. The wasps are absolutely pissed off.
Good video, you saved the customer from having to change there comp. I liked the alligator clamps on the leads to notify you when the windings closed.😎
Hello John, Eddie from NYC, just wanted to say i enjoy all your videos. I have been watching the news coverage of the devastating floods taking place in your home state. i hope you and your family are safe.God bless.
Articulate, patient, and crystal clear. What a marvelous presentation. I feel like I have enough knowledge to take a shot at fixing, of all things, my ex's AC. If I can't diagnose it, then I'll at least feel like I am not wasting money on a simple repair that gets jacked up because it is war, outside.
No, He FINALLY turned it off. The hose disappeared at the end of the video. You can see he wasted a lot of water the driveway was flooded along the grass. I kept yelling turn the water off! Turn The Water Off! Then at the end of the video, he left the electrical box lid open on the wall! And to think.... he got paid for that job...
I know this video is old, but it just occurred to me that there might be a better way to avoid flooding your work area. What if you took a can of compressed air (Dust Off or any other brand) and held it upside down while you sprayed the compressor... maybe it could work. You'd definitely avoid the wasp nest that way.
Excellent video, and very educational. Thank you...I've never seen a video of a compressor Ohmed out to confirm lockout on thermal overload! Just curious-- why didn't you hook up the high side to the gauges and check the superheat and subcooling....verifying the refrigerant charge was correct? yeah it seemed CLOSE...but....
Brother, that's fine. I know how it feels. I've been there. It's just an opinion because I've been the customer and the technician. You are extremely knowledgeable and that's what we need out here. I will continue to watch your videos and I did hit subscribe.
hey awesome video and glad I found your channel. I am currently attending a vocational school for hvac and was wondering if you have advice for a new guy like me
I Enjoyed the Video ! How do you like it at the New company & do you Stay Busy ? Your Basic Service Call and You Nailed it! Parts on the Truck & the the Little old Lady is Very happy now.
sir, why did you spray water unto the compressor? Is that to close the pressure switch again with two yellow wires going to the contactor? What will happen if you by-pass this pressure switch?
No, when compressors over heat they have a thermal overload that disconnects the windings. Running cold water on the motor helps it cool off for close the windings again
As you can see it was on thermal . For this type of call while you're waiting for it to come out of thermal overload generally that's when you check to see if there are any devices causing the thermal . Then once that's good you run it . Always been normal practice. I noticed the suction line dryer and the non oem looking brazes on the compressor. That's a concern but hey
Wow. My HVAC guy came and said he put a new capacitor but the compressor is bad and that's why it is not cooling. He only spent 10 mins so I don't think he did what you did.
I know I'm late responding to this video.You seen like a honest AC guy that actually does his job right. Do you know anyone in the Houston or The Woodlands or Spring Texas area? That you know and trust?
Hey I have a question, what is the average pay of a service Technician with 5 years of experience in Louisiana. A coworker of mine is looking to move down there with his wife.
Dude this was a after hours call. I had already had a long day. This little old lady didn’t care what was on my feet she just wanted her air fixed. Get over it.
Hey John 22 year journeyman here. Let me get this right no subcooling, no superheat, no static pressure taken, no high side reading, and a house that you said is really hot and only a 75 pound suction pressure. Also only a 16-17 degree deltas. MMMM you fell a little short on finishing the service call so a call back maybe coming. If you are going to do training do all the steps properly.
Of course, the indoor temp-split depends mainly on the % RH; at 50% RH indoors the split should be around 19 or 20°F; at a higher %RH the split might be around 16°F. Higher than normal airflow results in a 'lesser' or lower split...however, we always need to check the airflow & the indoor %RH...! Most systems have poor duct system design & too small Return-Air filter areas. Most systems are oversized & have too low an airflow...! Always do the critical steps & show the performance of the system; it can be rather easy to do...
If you actually do the conversion at home he said his latest pressure was 75, he said 75-80 because it started at 80 when he turned it on, converting 75 we get just under 45F. He also said the register temp was 63F, which would make his split a little more than 18. 20~ is ideal, but 18 isn't anything to be concerned about. Especially when you consider the mentioned %RH. When you show up to a call often times the condenser hasn't been working for a while and as such the humidity in the house is up, duh, no cooling = high heat load, which can account for a 2 degree drop in the split.
He's an honest professional and found the problem right away. Most techs would be pitching a new unit instantly. I would hire him onto my team any day. Quit hating and make your own videos you over confident bitch.
Nice repair, too bad you left the hose running and wasted all of that water when there are droughts every where not to mention all the money it must have cost that poor old lady.
Bro i take those old type AN no seal fittings and throw them as far as i can and put a heavy duty brass cap with seal... I don't trust those non seal type caps. There is always a margin for leaks with them. Gonna have to stock some hard starts.
it is, but its also to stop a leak if the schrader fails. The end of the service port and the brass caps work just like a flare fitting. hand tight + 1/2 a turn with a wrench will stop leaks if the shrader fails
Hence why i said i use a new brass cap with a seal built in. The type with no seals reply on pressure to force a seal metal to metal. Not good enough for me. Sorry. I want my stuff i work on to have a seal
I find the Brass flare caps seal better than the brass caps with the rubber seal. When you have the brass to brass and tighten it up good it seals, period.
Awesome video and Awesome job. I don't think I've ever seen a video where someone Ohms out a compressor during thermal overload. That was really interesting and educational. Thanks for postng!
Thanks man i appercaite it
Rumor has it that water is still running to this day...
I just went by the house yesterday and the water is still running, also the wasp rebuilt their nest and are well on their way to world domination. The wasps are absolutely pissed off.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm glad you said it
Wasp lives matter
I'm an Hvac student and I found this video a great resource. Got a subscriber here. Thanks buddy
Good video, you saved the customer from having to change there comp. I liked the alligator clamps on the leads to notify you when the windings closed.😎
Ac fixed and wasp nest wiped out!
Next level mama. Next level.
Thanks man
And remember always wear you safety crocks . The safest footware for hvac techs
right? lol
+Jonathan Vandagriff ;)
i didn't know that. i'll have to get a pair.
Lol, nothing looks more professional than crocks hahaha, and shorts
@@poppypiesdad1 ttt565dfggff0
As a new tech this was very helpful to see. Thank you!
Real men run OT service calls in Crocs!! Camo Crocs! Lol. Good shit brother.
Lol hey man it was late!! Thanks Gil!!!
@@johnisraelhvac2019 hopefully you closed the cover on the disconnect. Thanks for the good workmanship. 👍
crocs are good. I use a pear when I do yard work.
Hello John, Eddie from NYC, just wanted to say i enjoy all your videos. I have been watching the news coverage of the devastating floods taking place in your home state. i hope you and your family are safe.God bless.
Thanks Eddie!! Ya we are getting hit pretty hard but all is good!! Thanks for your concern!!!

Nice video sir, I am new to the field and I like to see how other techs do things. Thank you.
I appercaite it
Legend has it that the hose is still running.

Great job ! The kind you like, close, quick and easy. Take care, Brett
Thanks Brett!!
nice work man.... former hvac dispatcher now an hvac tech Klingon to my boyfriend 💙💙💙💙. it's cool to see what he does on a daily basis.
Great video for the bigginer service man. Very educational as always. Thanks for your time!
Thanks buddy!!
I have been a HVAC service tech for 15 years. Even I have learned from John's videos. He is a true HVAC master tech.
"I'll just leave it running right there"
Hahaha, that's awesome!
I know this video is old, but it just occurred to me that there might be a better way to avoid flooding your work area. What if you took a can of compressed air (Dust Off or any other brand) and held it upside down while you sprayed the compressor... maybe it could work. You'd definitely avoid the wasp nest that way.
While I'm not an HVAC person, I still enjoy watching your vids. I always learn something from them
I appercaite you watching
thank you, John, for sharing god bless brother!!!!!!

Just curious-- why didn't you hook up the high side to the gauges and check the superheat and subcooling....verifying the refrigerant charge was correct? yeah it seemed CLOSE...but....
nice job John! I had to laugh when you tried to pull the wires off the Start Cap and the top fell off in your hand! Yup!!! That could be an issue
Excellent job! Enjoyed watching. Very informative.
Love the videos man! I just had a question when changing and checking capacitors is a de-energize required every time?
Of the capacitor
JD’s HVAC yes
Israelhvac Good job man! I think some people just watch videos to find any trivial thing to criticize about. They must live a sad life.
Brother, that's fine. I know how it feels. I've been there. It's just an opinion because I've been the customer and the technician. You are extremely knowledgeable and that's what we need out here. I will continue to watch your videos and I did hit subscribe.
I appreciate that
just as you started spraying the wasp’s nest the video cut to a commercial for raid bug killer 😂
o_o the top just came off the hard start XD
hey awesome video and glad I found your channel. I am currently attending a vocational school for hvac and was wondering if you have advice for a new guy like me
When you hung and twisted your meter, my eyes almost popped out of my head.
Just did a roof top repair in my flipflops at 11 at night. Who needs boots
Nice video!!!
I used to work for a management company as a maintenance and hat to be on call.
Kee em coming!!!
Thanks Bud
Your right about the hard start
Man ,i love you videos special when the start.
Please do not try this at home.---Hvac training is require.
Excellent video John really enjoyed it
Thanks Harry
NICE INFO AND GREAT WORK ON HOW TO TROUBLESHOOT WHY IT WENT INTO OVERLOAD
Thanks David
enjoyed the Video John
Thanks Zack
I enjoy your tech videos. A wealth of knowledge.
Good job man but you did not lock the disconnect wall box which is dangerous.
IRAN IRANI he was within reach of it the whole time. Not really a concern for tampering when he’s on site with the unit and it’s disconnect.
I Enjoyed the Video ! How do you like it at the New company & do you Stay Busy ?
Your Basic Service Call and You Nailed it!
Parts on the Truck & the the Little old Lady is Very happy now.
Thanks bro!! I really like it and yes I stay very busy!! They have PLENTY OF Work
Excellent video thank you
Gotta watch out for those bad hard start relays keeping HS cap in series. Seen that cause over heated compressor.
Thank you. Good Job!
I love your videos and you're a great teacher.
Thanks man I appreciate that
My favorite tool bag
sir, why did you spray water unto the compressor? Is that to close the pressure switch again with two yellow wires going to the contactor? What will happen if you by-pass this pressure switch?
No, when compressors over heat they have a thermal overload that disconnects the windings. Running cold water on the motor helps it cool off for close the windings again
Thanks for the video!
This very important to all air conditioners😉
6:10 port and starboard color scheme of 30Lb jugs are correct! :)
GREAT WORK! ---HAPPY COOL CUSTOMER
Nice. Doing service calls in sandals, I would be in such deep shit.
steve wujek it's overtime! Anything goes
Also left the water running!
John, don't leave that hose running. You are wasting water. Smile
Lol
"sometimes a hard start will make them fire out of thermal "
This is completely wrong the compressor winding is open internally it won't start!!!
John is a master HVAC technician.
@@JJ-Toreddie no such thing as a master hvac tech. That's a made up title. I would know I'm a master hvac tech.
Nice video
I would have hooked my gauges up first to see if the system has any refrigerant before replacing electrics.
As you can see it was on thermal . For this type of call while you're waiting for it to come out of thermal overload generally that's when you check to see if there are any devices causing the thermal .

Cheers
Good job sir thanks for all y'all videos
Nice work boots there budy gotta keep yahself grounded
Very good video!!!👍
you haven't explained the reason why you want to check the continuity of these 2 wires, are they from kick start or contactor, can you tell us ?
Nice videos,have fun and god bless family first. 👍👍👍😎😎😎🍻🍻🍻
Wow. My HVAC guy came and said he put a new capacitor but the compressor is bad and that's why it is not cooling. He only spent 10 mins so I don't think he did what you did.
Thank you so much.....what a helpful video!
Good Job, John.. 3 wire=CSR -5/2/1
Why did you have to take the wires off the contractor? All you have to do is cool it off, push in disconnect & if it doesn't start, cool it some more.
Havn't worked overtime in 9 years . Much better being on your own 👍my last call is 4 to 6pm 😌
I know I'm late responding to this video.You seen like a honest AC guy that actually does his job right. Do you know anyone in the Houston or The Woodlands or Spring Texas area? That you know and trust?
nice tip with the meter
Love your videos. Question...how long did it take to cool down with the water hose?
Sounds like Murder Nova narrating this call.
Hey I have a question, what is the average pay of a service Technician with 5 years of experience in Louisiana. A coworker of mine is looking to move down there with his wife.
thanks again das Great in a normally when good job
excellent video
nice repair John good to see you cranking out some vids
One of your best vids thanks
Thanks Josh
Keep doing this videos they are good
Nice job john. Question what do you think of Lennox Units?
Nice work as always sir.
Thanks Wink!!
What does he mean by closed and open? I’m a hvac student
Good job
Great video man, keep them coming
Will do Thanks for watching
If you come op out to my house in crocs imma have something to say, but good work.
Ok. I don’t care what you say.
HVAC with John Israel you should.. it's not professional.
Dude this was a after hours call. I had already had a long day. This little old lady didn’t care what was on my feet she just wanted her air fixed. Get over it.
I wish everyone do the same .
Many Chinese and Indian got injury for been so ship.

u? learn to spell before "u"" comment.
I thought the same thing when he threw it down and said I'm just gonna leave that running.
Me too haha
John Shoup got to pay extra for that
Nice work!
Nice job brother keep it coming
Thanks Ethan
How exactly will a hard start device make a compressor come out of thermal overload?
jason murphy it doesn’t. It helps the compressor start.
Great vid John !
Thanks Justin
Great video.
Thanks man
Good video John
What veto pro model bag is that?good video btw
great Job !
so the cap for the hard start kick start is bad, so why are they needed some times?

Mr. Overtorqued Nut says not to try this at home because HVAC training is required.
