I been in HVAC over 30 years see you are wearing your wedding 💑 ring is very dangerous working electrical great video

Thank you. It's always nice refresher with a cup of coffee in the morning on my way to the first call.

Thank you! I just fixed my A/C that has been down for 2 days after figuring out 1 of 2 fuses was blown going to the Air Conditioner so I was only getting 120v out of 240. $25 later and my AC is alive again!

Great video. No messing around with useless information. Straight to the point and educational. Good job!

[Noam]

Brian does a great job teaching! Thank you!

[BigPowerAL]

Simple yet to the point! Appreciate you taking the time to make an informative video. Thank you!

[RedondoBeach]

Clear, concise and informative narration and video. This video should be the benchmark for others making DIY or tutorial maintenance videos.

Great video. I love your basic videos where you dont assume any knowledge. Thank you.

Awesome video I’m about to graduate from the course that I’ve been in for a year for Hvac and here in Texas a lot of people keep complaining that the air-conditioning stopped working and we noticed that it is a lot of capacitors going out. I haven’t worked on anyones condensers yet but I made a guess when I saw a video that someone sent me where the OFM is on and the compressor is humming and the suction line wasn’t cold at all. I told her it could be the CAP and when someone came out to fix it that was the issue. I’m going to see your video on testing capacitors just to get a little more knowledge but I know the secret of using the multimeter to test for capacitance and the formula for testing capacitance while energizing the CAP.

Great video. Only thing I would have added is that after jumping across the capacitor with a resistor, would be to verify that the DC voltage (NOT AC voltage) from terminal C to HERM is zero and terminal C to FAN is zero. Don't forget to switch your voltmeter to DC for these readings.

That was a lot of good info in a very short presentation, great stuff

[davidnguyen]

Thank you for your Time & Video. It is very clearly and Easy for understanding. God always Bless you.

[rolandodelapaz]

Very nice tutorial about troubleshooting. AC unit that i can apply for my work here in Saudi i alway watch and follow to your HVAC SCHOOL. Thanks you very much sir. And God bless you.

[cervaog]

awesome video. makes learning hvac so much easier

[resurgensix]

Just what I needed to see. Thanks Brian!

[LDriggs]

Such a great basic explanation. Thanks

[ciscotejada]

Very well explained barely got a new job at hvac!

[nehemiasmartinez]

Great work I learn alor from your postcast 🙌🏻
