How to Read AC Wiring Diagram

How to read AC or air conditioner condenser unit wiring diagram / schematic. I go over 4 AC condenser wiring diagrams and explain how to read them and what all the symbols and charts on the label mean. Most of the time, the wiring diagram or schematic can be found on the inside of the condenser electric panel access door.

➡️ Was this video too long? Here is a video of a simple breakdown of the condenser unit wiring diagram, only 10 minutes long :)

My gracious audience! :) I apologize for making such an incredibly long video but I do hope it will be worth your time! Get some snacks ;) If you could please like this comment if you actually watched this video all the way through I would much appreciate it! And if you want to go above and beyond, reply to the comment and tell us what you thought. That will give me an idea of whether I should ever do something like this again. Now allow me a brief moment to share the backstory. :) This video took me a whole week to make, frankly I didn’t realize what I was getting myself into. This stuff is harder to explain than I thought. (kudos to all the HVAC teachers) Normally the video editing software I use, takes around 3 hours to render and export a video file. (I use a laptop, nothing fancy) This video took 35 hours to export. I thought the computer was joking but when I checked 4 hours later I confirmed that it wasn’t. Laptop was humming like it was preparing to pop a vessel so I put it next to an air register so it can relax in the cool breeze when the AC comes on and left it alone for the next day and a half. Fortunately, everything ended well and the video is finally uploaded! But since it was so long YouTube flagged it and I had to wait another day for it to get reviewed. So needless to say, if my viewers deem this video as not worth the above mentioned effort, then I am definitely not even going to consider doing something like this again heh. Thanks for reading and watching guys! My subscribers are all awesome!!! Seriously. I rarely get any nasty comments. Thank you for all your positivity and support! Stay cool

Wow this is the best wiring explanation video I learned way more with your video than with the teacher in HVAC school, thanks a lot, God bless you

[TonyGioMusic]

Thanks man, watched it start to finish. I know you hear it a lot, but the effort you put into this video is NOT going unnoticed or unappreciated. This is gold for someone like me!

[lex]

A lot of guys struggle with the electrical part. I'm 41 a new HVAC, and you're teaching me and I'm learning off of you. Maybe there is hope for an older guy like me. Thanks Man!

[raruna]

Thank you sir for sharing your knoweledge, I'm 55 years old taking the HVAC/R course at a trade school, and everything makes more sence after I watched your videos, God bless!!, and thanks for making it so easy to understand!!

[nicb.]

You taught me more in this video than my teachers taught me in 2 years of trade school. Keep it up!

[jordancroom]

Watched all the way through and now understand schematics much more clearly. Thank you very much for being such a help in the Hvac industry! 🙏🏼

This is the best flue gas analysis video on the internet, thank you.

[pravinponnuri]

An excellent teaching video. Very very beautifully explained. Learned more in this one hour video than in my 4 years of Engineering.

[AfridiZindabad]

This was my 4 year olds favourite video today which he found (this is among his favourite channels) and watched many times all the way through. This man is his hero

I am engineer from UK and was in USA for holiday where I had to find a fault on AC system and your Video was a blessing, Thank you for simple to understand circuit diagram, Never seen a AC system before and I passed the test, The fault was the Capacitor which on the Start Coil, Thank again for your easy to understand explanation.

This is a excellent video! If the length of the video bothers you just watch it in sections 10 minutes here, 10 minutes there. Remember its levels to everything get in where you fit in.

[mauricejohnson]

26 minutes in you are a GOOD INSTRUCTOR! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[nahiku]

ive graduated from a basic online hvacr program and have a fat textbook, and the wiring diagram part i could never understand. This video helped me out SO much and thank you for this and all your other videos

[JohannnesBrahms]

Wow! A feature length movie! Your YouTube dissertation! A wiring marathon! A university class! A vehicle to stretch your video production skills! A test of your endurance as well as your viewers' endurance! A project that probably surprised you by its length and the amount of effort you expended! Aside from all of that, it showed you in a light that made you shine even though your lovely face was absent for much of the time. Saint Francis of the dragonflies. I hope your efforts reward you well.

I'm working towards an hvac degree in college and this is helping me alot. You are appreciated more than you can think.

[xNINJAxPAPAx]

Taking the time out of your day to explain all of this is awesome. I’m currently working as an automotive technician & I’m interested in changing my career path to an HVAC Technician. I started watching your videos to get more information about the industry. Thank you for your time.

[enriqueescate]

Great video! He's playing everything in depth and at the end you showed the diagrams and showed how the diagram compares to an actual AC unit . Great job!

[ClassicalVirtuoso]

I'm a current student enrolled for an HVAC/R 2 year degree program at a local community college here in San Antonio, Texas and my professor recommended this video for schematic interpretation. Thank you very much for the video. I've never been the textbook kind of student, I need a visual or hands-on study to help me understand it and this video does it perfectly.

The last 7 minutes of the video are very reassuring and should give confidence to anyone who may be having a hard time understanding the wiring schematics. The real-world application seems to be much easier to understand (visually) than written out in ladder & pictorial diagrams.

How to train a dragon was a bonus!
