See nothing. What are you talking about me way back? Why does everyone look so sad? There? Anybody have thermometers, they're, all running cuz flame is about to start engine. Why do they look like this Burke Jim's about to start talking, they're, all ready? None of us check superheat. Do you ever think of that? Alright? Here we are me Jim first stop of the day, the most important one I'm gon na grab some lunch, we're eating at a really nice place, Publix and what the full experience.
Yes, that's a he's. Gon na live life like I live, live today, Publix deli what yeah left gym standing at the register? Cuz. I forgot my wallet hope he pays. Oh you didn't pay.
I gave you plenty of time to do this. All right. I didn't want you to feel bad. I would have felt really bad yeah yeah.
Absolutely it wouldn't have slept weak. That's normal, though sorry Jim's got ta carry the bag. Today, cuz he's the helper yep trainee trainer. I'm gon na see what I can unlearn him.
We have the van off and the windows open, even though it's 130 degrees outside and 100 % relative humidity, which is a real thing in Florida, because my AC is not working and Jim as capable as he is in this industry could not fix it. That was a waste. What are those public subs high quality? They aren't really good people to work there. It's a good one.
Jim can use that. So I got a question wrong this morning in class and and Jim swore at me, so either it's and then this is thing in the world. Maybe it's the fact. Your brother King, I'm feel better now made me feel really uncomfortable and everything, but he was trying to tell me that water density, like vaporized water, is less dense than air.
So there's like less mass in the air when there's more humidity, add water, less mass, that you know he's trying to say crazy, stuff like that and then convince you that it's true those pods up there yeah. Why do they float if the water is heavier? They'd? Be down here with us? No, it's not! Let's not go overkill with this. It's a good moment. Yeah we have to roll up the window, so Jim can talk and I mean we're dying in here.
I see a pretty good idea. Oh yeah, all right, so any chance. This is overkill for three of the greatest technicians on the planet. All here together, the three greatest you might argue: yeah the outdoor condensing Internet, running, there's condensate running on the ground.
So either it's frozen inside because the indoor fan quit working or the condenser or the maybe the evaporator is dirty or maybe they just a homeowner. Don't know how to run the unit what's happening. Tell them about our first call: yeah, that's good yeah, it was it crazy. Yep we're dripping water and our condenser is not ready.
He said so frozen up, yeah still, yep, still cool right in the middle of the excitement. Follow me sure would be great, I'm safe on a ladder talk to who okay he's annoying as the Dickens, who gives me a selfie stick. This is stupidest thing in the world. No, we got frozen up. We got a nice thick ice to try be as respectful as possible I'll wash them. Please do thank you for, for you, Jim you're, handsome. You almost said handsome. Almost okay, I mean I'll clean.
The filters do work, Bert Bert. Why don't you go out and do that cleaning cleaning Bert while we stay in here and say some fancy words to each other gasps? Is the crater atmosphere pushes into space, but the gravity pulls him back and there's a delicate balance of putting the pressure on the earthling friends, morphic, ater, trans morphic, ater, trans morphic, gator? Okay, I know my place and I'm happy here about six pounds. Low only holds three ounces he's calling tech support man, the lines covered nice. So much so I can't even pull the insulation back already 44 psi.
These are gon na measure. Good right now we're science. There we go Sims, I switch Atari 12. It's got 13 degrees of superheat.
That's perfect! It's a it's! The wireless charging method. You just change the refrigerant, get the right saturation temperature, whichever one you want vibration there is boom. Yeah! That's quick down here, see if you, if you, if you're good at your job, you find the mix right away just like when you said there was no oil yeah well, and I felt I think I just take the gas out of a check the flare yeah. Oh, that's a horrible idea or we could just check the flare we're here.
We're gon na go ahead and check out this just a couple days ago, yeah and when I called the manager he's like. Why is your brand-new unit not working? I'm like bro? It's not my brand-new unit. It's this garbage he's like. I don't want AC in my garage here.
We are we're. Gon na have a little measure quick fun over here right measure. Quick is gon na fully diagnose the system, we're gon na report and tell us what's up yeah. The house is 71 degrees, the splits just a hair off it's looking for 20 22 degrees split, we're 24, so we're within all within range.
What are you, but are you have 400 CFM per ton or 350 limit 350 right, I'm sure, but this doesn't matter okay. This is just what the target is. So when you're going into the indoor readings - and you see your your target - it's basing that target off 1750. So if I go here see how see the current value is 1430, if I go into the information here - and I tell it that it's even 450 CFM per ton right when I go back into the indoor section and go back to the target - it's still 14 1400, it's just looking for a higher target.
Okay, so it's calculating independent of the target. It doesn't matter what you tell it it's! This is all about. This is again profiling to make sure you're getting right profile. You know a higher suction, a higher a higher airflow.
Would also give you a higher suction pressure, which again yeah I mean it's looking looking really good, everything's, looking really good. That's the only thing that you might pick up is a little bit more sensible cooling if we increase the airflow dropping late and increasing sensible, but we got a point: seven, two sensible heat ratio. So this is more about comfort than efficiency, but you know I don't think we'd pick up enough to to quibble over. I mean it's so close right now, we're looking for a 20 to 22 degree, temperature split, we're 24.8, two degrees off attempt, split, so plus or minus three degrees on temp split is usually or is usually spot-on. So I don't so. I wouldn't mess with this thing. To do if I was willing to optimize for efficiency in here efficiency at this point versus comfort and again we're in a heavily laden market would be too yeah. So we got slightly low airflow.
We got a slightly high changing on the feet, which is what we can't hire changing out: the enthalpy change, it's good for the air flow temperature, splits on the high end right. Look how how much water or point out fifteen pounds per hour of water right. If you go to indoor regiments and we look at performance on that - I think it'll just gallons per hour. This is one point, seven gallons per hour and it's ringing water out of the air.
That's a lot of moisture and then we go back in here and take a look at our readings and we're supposed to have a seven degrees. Subcooling, that's women range superheating looks good, so I my temp looks good. So everything on here is okay. That I see.
I'm the red flag he's just because it blends because of the airflow at the scene. It could be a restriction in a liquid wine. Let me see why it's what's even kicking that out there and just cuz, I'm liquid behind temperatures too low and it condenser pressures too low, and I think that's because your outdoor that that thermometer we got outside, we lost it. So, let's go in here.
Let's just look at this for just a second and it's about eighty to eighty point four degrees and at test: Oh Jude, we're just out of range of it. So let's go into outdoor and let me just go in and hips. Let me go in and disconnect the test. Oh for a minute.
I don't know if I'll be able to wipe it out, wipe it out without without resetting it, but it would be real quick if we got to reset it. So I'm just gon na deactivate that Oh out there measurements it's gon na lock that in so let me just do this we'll restart it we'll just reactivate these home, go to the outdoor air ratings! Oops! It's indoor, outdoor and we'll just change this to eighty get done and we'll give that just a second to stabilize but we'll hit clear in there and there's no system-wide problems on there right. So it's just a sensor on there. So we'll just leave that run for just a minute.
That's it! Okay, let's look good! So we just don't have a discharge wine temperature sensor on there. So yep, you didn't think about lovebugs and your intern. I loved on casting seriously me and my wife bugs all just making the bug baby. Stop it right, I'm not making any more chest all right, guys say goodbye to Jim. Is it it's me again. Any final words about riding with me today bring it out. How was it it was. The Beckster screams best experience that the roach you.

Ok
How have I not seen this video till now? The 3 musketeers! Straight up legends
If we can't enjoy our job. What's the point. Service area Orleans??
Did I miss something, does Burt's ac not work in his van?!
Go to wawa Jim wait ride with me and I will even treat you to the AC techs one stop shop and my vans brand new with ice cold ac of course
What happened to Bert? It's been awhile since a new video. Did he move on to Hollywood?
I grew up in east coast central Florida and Publix subs are the BOMB!!!
Hey Testman, you cant wash those filters in a commercial dishwasher like it did, just sayin
๐๐๐๐Go clean the filters why we stay in here and say some fancy words! ๐๐๐ this is the best video of all time!!!!! Yโall killed it!!
LOL
LOL
LOL
LOL Are you in Nepean ?
"He's going to tech support" ๐
"He's calling tech support" lol
Love it! A great, lighthearted video. Are you in Kanata ?
Great vid. I hope JIm Bergman learned a lot from you Bert
This video is hilarious ๐คฃ couldn't stop laughing at the Jim and bert banter, and when he ate the ice and said it's 4 lbs low ๐คฃ๐คฃ
Cool hat. Where can I get one?
3 techs for 2 service calls?……. noobs. Let me know if yโall need a fourth one. Are you in Barrhaven ?
This is the most epic video of all time.
