Electrical troubleshooting skills are critical in HVAC repairs. Reading the mind of the idiot that hacked this install would also be helpful. You won’t believe what these clowns did to this customers equipment! It’s shameful!

great job, i am still lost, please do a sequence of operation on RTU. thanks
I’ve done a good amount of work we’re people don’t know how to install crap yet they get what they pay for but good god lol I know it wasn’t too easy either WHAT A DAMN NIGHTMARE lol not anyone can do what you did my friend 👍 my respects RICK 😃
This looks like the rats nest of CAT6 I am straightening up in a communications equipment shelter now.
lazy people that call themselves professionals too lazy to remove dead leads from the cable trays and retired WiFi radios off the tower outside. NO cable management at all either just zip tie it anywhere like to the tower beacon power leads – create cross talk on the data lines = poor quality WiFi and links.
Anyways I call this sort of thing "Visualized Insanity" or "Living Chaos"
Great diagnostic work, so hard to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I worked with a residential contractor doing HVAC for indoor pools. He quoted Dectron only…funny how rich people who can afford an indoor pool would sometimes go wonky over the cost of proper HVAC. One new system we did was actually a complete house renovation because the original indoor pool had poor humidity control causing major structural problems (rusted I beams, rotted joists and studs, not to mention mold) and the house was only 10 years old.
Wrong on so many levels
533 Thumbs up Great Video
How does a higher air temp than water temp reduce evaporation?
Do Americans refuse to use DIN rails because they're metric or do they just really love those shitty self-tapping hex screws?
Great work in a terrible situation. Absolutely hate seeing customers who have been let down in huge ways by crap contractors.
Yeah! enjoyed it a lot thanks
Crazy shit people do
You get what you pay for. Nice clean up and it’s unfortunate you had to do this in freezing temps.
Pay now or pay more later. Cheap is rarely a deal.
surely that was all installed by "The Three Stooges" 🤣🤣
I have a couple toner sets and random other wire tracing junk. but I've done plenty of data/comm. 💩💩
What a freaking nightmare
Wow! What a mess. Great job.
I'm a little confused: title says "Electrical Troubleshooting" but the thumbnail clearly shows "Spaghetti Junction."
The previous hvac tech must been italian… he left a bunch of spaghetti in there.
I like my Fluke tone generator. I believe it's 23 years old. I traced an old nurse call system main panel enclosed in a wall. Great tool. Nice video.
