Another HVAC Disaster! I keep Getting These Colossal Problem Calls

This is exactly what happens when the customer's idea of "maintenance" is call the tech, preferably on the weekend once the unit falls apart.

Gotta love the no heat calls when the wind chill is -30*f with snow and you’re on a flat roof. Love the content, makes for a great end to a bad day.

I worked on a state job where everything was worn out and then folks get mad at you since it is not 65 when it is 95 outside in the shade.

Here in Missouri we use black pipe for gas hook ups

You should get into pharmaceutical HVAC, some of it's maintenance, ac units, chillers, old / modern ahus, balancing cleanrooms, labs, some c+q, some design consultation, some qualification work on lab stuff, gloveboxes, msc's and whatnot. I'm quite like you, I get bored easily. There's enough variety in what I do to not get bored, so far anyway. Got bored with architecture, got bored of being broke being a barista, pro or otherwise there's no money in it, but this so far is interesting. There'd be less electronics involved which I would like more of but so far Im happy. 6 years in it's the longest career I've had so far.

-4 today here in Colorado. Supposed to be same tomorrow. Another great video. Stay warm and safe!

Not only did they mess up the shut off valve location but that drip leg is ineffective. They should’ve put it in place of the elbow at the change of direction.

Very professional, nice to see.

I worked on this exact same style of model yesterday. Almost the same issue with only lighting across the first few burners and stopping. Mine ended up having a capacitor directly above them pop and leak it's gel all over the center couple burners and the gel blocked off the burners. Lol

The hanging strap for fluke is called TPAK but there are generic ones that work as well

Super helpful. Thanks for posting.

Nice professional troubleshooting and repair.

Great Job 🌴🤙🌴🏴‍☠️

LMAO, that gas line fam 🤦‍♂️ 😵.

Nice job ... I like that little measure app ... Thx :hand-purple-blue-peace::hand-purple-blue-peace:

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

I work on tons of those lennox units. I keep a box cutter knife with me as they work great to clear the cross over fins and allow the gas to run all the way to the last burner. Good call on the ignition module. Those old blue boxes are junk. And on the note of the testo manometer, I had a terrible time with my drifting off to infinity. Had to return it. Still have the old UEI EM152. It seems to just keep on going.

I always recommend replacing all that stuff because what’s the point of leaving it there . Then they call back that it’s not workkng

now it just needs a heat exchanger, condenser fan, evap coil, cond. coil, compressors and more. 🤪🐒

Rick, thanks for the great video !
