Thank you
Looking forward into learning & being successful in this field if in God will 🙏🏾 any tips?
Dude sounds like George Lucas
Excellent video, thank you.
My first day May 9th. Wish me luck guys I’m 22.
As knowledgeable as you are, you are not a good enough teacher yet. You go too fast and you leave out fundamental facts about what you are trying to teach leaving students like myself wondering what you mean. Is the system running or not is one of the one's you leave out quite often for us beginners. That being said…I trust your knowledge which is a huge plus. Slow down and pre-state the conditions we're starting with each time and you'll be the best teacher on YouTube. I should know, I was, before I retired, the best local HS math teacher…and even the best salesperson when I did that.
On a different note, I bought at auction a Snap-On R-12 service machine. Did they recover refrigerant in those days? It will apparently vacuum out a system, but it doesn't appear to collect the refrigerant. Can I modify it to do so? Thank you sir.
Dang you could call my dog with that whistle in the narration 😂
Hi,Craig,I have two questions for now the first is when you connect gauges in heat pump where you connect the high hose gauge straight to reversing valve fitting or to fitting of the liquid high line and low side hose gauge to low side vapor fitting.The second question is about the vapor state of refrigerant when you use it and how to proceed to let the vapor enters to the sister.Graig I wil appreciate you prompt to me.
I saw retard on the blue gauge and now I can't get it out of my head
I am 20 and starting my classes next month I know nothing about this I didn't see myself in college this will be the first actually man thing I do I grew up soft but I will try my best.
You really KNOW your subject matter!
30 years old and I’m jumping into the HVAC career field start school end of the month . Wish me luck ! It’s never to late !
I’m 41 and I’m starting A/C school on Sunday.. am I too old to learn this trade??
Can I be able to measure with this tool Testo 405i Outdoor DB Temp and Indoor WB Temp, and what is proper way to do measuring on Mini Slit systems. I really appreciate what you doing regarding education us here on YT-.
Just i got confused line temp :ambient temp and saturated temp;
Are they same or different.
To be honest ;not great video; the numbers are so small and you did not explain very well regarding temperature.
I am trying to learn how to fix my fridge and a/c by myself. These HVAC guys are blood sucking low life leeches. They want $850 to fix a pin hole leak on the copper pipe and recharge the gas when the fridge is $3800 brand new and $500 second hand. Simply cut and weld a new piece of copper pipe which can be done in 2-30mins plus recharge and testing, I am looking at 1.5hrs labour here.
Good video thx!
First day on the job at 30 never done this before but according to the guy I'm training under this is good information
R Forteneye
hvac have scope plz guide me … sir ….
I bought quick guide troubleshooting card through Amazon. Under TXV Metering device in cooling mode, go to scenario and go down to Outdoor coil: low airflow or deteriorated, it says high under subcooling, I think that should be low unless I am misunderstanding. Could you please let me know? I appreciate all you do and use your info to assist me and my team. Thank You.

My first day is also tomorrow and I’m 29 so wish me also good luck lol. I went to school but they didn’t hardly teach us anything. I know basic things but not into detail.
In technical school do we do more hands on? Than individual work?
Thank you sir👍
Love your videos. They are so well done and loaded with valuable knowledge. I primarily only do R134a (automotive,) do you have any books or quick reference cards for automotive R134a or R134a in general ? If not is there a video channel or source you would recommend. You've helped me get a better understanding of superheat and subcooling. My 40 ft Rv has a TXV and 36' of hoses from the compressor and condenser to the evaporator. Thanks again.
why do you say r410a like that
I’m a certified tech and I literally know nothing it takes experience
Very informative, thank you Sir
I’m a roofer why I’m I watching this
Im 27. I start going to school sep 13 to be a HVAC technician Im nervous cause I have a hard time getting things in my head and have a hard time learning the only thing I worry about. Im not smart but this is something i wanna do in life I finally found something I wanna do in life. Well thanks for the video ima replay this all the time
R4jenayyyyyy
The vapor gauge you are showing and saying only goes to 350 ,actually goes to 500 ..
i lowkey felt heckled by the screen at 0:50 . Has anyone here ever watched The Matrix?
Thank you for the knowledge you apply your easy to go along with and I think I’m gonna purchase the books for sure

Awesome explanation, learn a lot, Thank you
So how long does it take typically to measure the refrigerant levels from start to finish?
I’m 17 I’m in hvac learning right now best advice is learn the tools get organized and learn the steps and then apply what you learned slowly
Working on Thermal king reefer refrigeratation systems..410a…im new to this so this video helped alot. My boss has done it 33yrs working on TK units and Carrier units so wanted to get better knowledge so i canbe better at it like him
Nice job
The way he prounces letters annoys the hell out of me
My first day June 28th I know nothing about this wish me luck
