Walk-In Cooler Conversion To R407C Refrigerant
Average day in my life as well. Funny what we do for $$
Can it run a 240V welding machine?
I’m going to test it. I’ll need to get another welder as mine is 120v. I believe it will no problem but can’t say for sure yet.
Seems like the direct 50amp hookup in your house to your main panel is enough to control all of your house circuits without needing to buy or install the smart panel 2. What benefit does smart panel2 provide to outweigh the cost of purchasing installing and rewiring a dozen circuits if all the remaining main panel circuits would be useless when off grid power?
If the power fails while I’m not home there’s no way for it to switch it over if I was doing it the old way. It’s peace of mind not needing to rush home to switch it over. It’s an easy install. 3 hrs tops.
Silver Cymbal did a review on the exact same model today. I'll say you blew him out of the water with your over the top review. Thxs for the vids!
Wow he’s a large review channel. Thanks for your kind words! I wanted to show more information but I literally finished this at 330am this morning.
You had me at tiny hand. Good stuff Rick! Enjoy these videos as I am not super familiar with them.
They are a interesting concept that has grown in power and popularity.
Thanks for an honest review. We live in the country too and run a gas generator as backup. This is what I've been looking for.
I know what you mean. I have a 8kw gas generator that eats gas but it has enough power to run the AC or water heater if I stage it. This and the DP ULTRA are amazing. I need permanent solar panels to offset the gas generator.
Thats a sweet setup....i really enjoyed the video
Thanks Jason! 🙏🤜🤛
Very thorough great job!!!!!
Thank you! 🙏 I appreciate your support.
How can I check why I don't get any water to the the water pan and how can I check if the pump is working
On my ice maker machine
Sequence of elimination is key. Use your meter and verify if water is coming into the machine.
Very nice
Thank you!
Friends don't let friends buy Lennox units.
They use to be good but they lost there way years ago.

Good deal Rick........
Can you do some reviews on some of the eg4 products
The power station companies reach out to me to ask me to test and review them. I turn down several but I haven’t been asked by the company your talking about.
I have the same brand scope. Looks like different model numbers. Mine is the newer one with 2 channels. Amazing what they can put in a handheld now.
Mines two channel I didn’t have the other hooked up.
Where do you have your battery bank located relative to your living quarters? Do you have any concerns about thermal runaway of the pack when located near or in your house? I don’t mean to be a scare monger, but you can put the battery pack in an outdoor location where this would basically be of a reduced concern. What does the manufacturer recommend? You did comment on the safety features in the video
Lithium phosphate batteries are a lot different than lithium ion batteries. Lithium phosphate batteries don’t catch on fire like the lithium ion. I would not be surprised if they don’t have manual thermal fuses in the battery packs to break the electrical contacts. Like I mentioned in the video this is UL rated “underwriter’s laboratory”. That is a very expensive test to have done and almost no Equipment built overseas has a UL rating. The UL rating it rated for was developed for battery systems like this. I’ll need to find the actual four digit number. I believe it’s nine something something something.
Hi, I dislike Masterbuilt
I’m looking to get a couple of mini splits and I do have a little sulfur water. How does the sulfur water effect these units? 3:26 Does water run through some units or is it more from the sulfur being released into the atmosphere from running the tap?
The gas enters the home from being drawn from the faucet. It travels in the air. If you do some searching for Sulphur water, they’ll give you the truth scientific name I forget what it is, but it’ll explain why this gas tends to attack, copper and other models.
You're the best sir! I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you!
So nice of you to say that! Thank you!
if it's a fairly new garage door opener, many you can just hit the keypad enter button and it will close if open. no having to jump over the beams, nor enter the code to close.
Thanks sir. Good job!
U channel, grade 8 hardware or SS. Same with square tube steel.
always nice to know an ac guy.
Your enthusiasm is unbearable.
You’ll have that.
@@HVACRSurvival Lmao. I cant stand 90% of the AC youtube channels. But I enjoy yours. Best wishes and prosperity.
Nice, you helped someone out. I loved the dig at the end about cleaning certain things. I'd rather see the commercial and refer stuff versus resi. Stay cool.
🤣👍👍I removed a portion of what I said, it was offensive 😄
Not a Jeep or truck person. I like smaller Euro cars. That said, your spec on that truck is super-cool! Is it a stick-shift? You give me manual transmission vibes. Either way, it’s awesome. Love your channel, your beautiful wife, thanks for sharing such amazing content.
8 speed automatic but I have had manual transmission trucks, I prefer automatic when you’re gonna do off-road so that I don’t have to mess with the clutch and watch where I’m going at the same time. Otherwise, if it was a sports car, sure I’d like to have at least a 5 to 6 speed. I let her know what you said, she said thank you!
440 thumbs up
Was the capacitor wet? lol
Yep, it’s not a beauty salon where I’m working. They get wet all the time and are just fine. I only worry about control boards and certain motors and coils.
👍
Good job Rick.......
The way you explain everything.. thank you so much
Thank you, I hope to prevent dumb things like this from happening but that only works if the person wants to learn from there mistakes. This person might never see the video 🤷♂️🤔
That’s the dirtiest coil I have seen
It won the award for it. He claimed it was just washed out 🤔
I had the unfortunate call for a man that died from a heart attack while seeing what was wrong with his package A/C unit. Leave it to professionals .
I like how the hose bib and the hose attached to it is painted. Top notch job there.
So you half assed it blows all the time
@lewistodd4458 are you a special kind of stupid or do you just not know how to watch a video? I love people like you🤣🤣✌️you keep me in business.
Nice vid Rick & nice to see Ms Lora ... Thx
Nice work Rick.
Nice of you to help out a friend. You mentioned off-roading in s previous video. I'm guessing his ribs were related to those activities. (I used to ride dirt bikes extensively.)
No, the offloading was me. He fell off a ladder while working on pulling some wires.
@@HVACRSurvival ouch
I started in October '95.
July for me.
To get my foot in the door, I started out driving a truck delivering ductwork to new construction homes. During down times, I worked in the sheet metal shop putting together fittings and installing soundline insulation. Within 6 months I was at another company, running installs in new construction. Within another year and a half I was running residential service. Another year of that and it was straight commercial service for me. Then on to commercial refrigeration install and service. Fitting pipe for 4 hours a day, and brazing for the other 4 makes you very good at brazing. For the last two and a half years I’ve been owning and operating a mechanical contracting company in Northwest Montana. Almost never having to get sheet metal fittings made is a major plus. Experience is king. I tell young guys, “When your company stops teaching you, the next company probably will.” It’s ridiculous to stay with a company who only teaches you enough to make them money. I ready enjoy seeing the equipment you work on, takes me back to the old days of Commercial Service. A truck packed full of tools for the plethora of things you do. At one point I had 6 different refrigerants stocked on my van.
Wow that’s really cool to hear.
Coolest apprentice I've ever seen 😎
Yeah, also the mouthiest😂👍
😂
👍💪❄️🇺🇸🙏
When I started in this business I did residential new construction. We installed Lennox. The board on the 80mgf was a common failure.
83m00 for the longest time. I know it got high priced because it replaced several boards I believe. I've been away from Lennox for 10 years now.
I can't stop watching your posts!! Great information
Awesome! Thank you!
10:52 😂💀
Lol yeah she liked that part too.
I wish I was a woman instead of a man. Women have much easier life nowadays than men.
dang 12 years out of a factory chinese cap, thats impressive!
True!
Great work rick 👍✌️
Thanks 👍
@ 6:08 😂😂😂
The humor was being put on thick😂
Good video Rick, helping out friends in need.
Good man, helping people out and getting it going. Tell Ms Lora we said hi. Hope you bring back the livestream with Steve-o and Ryan and you and Lora. It was cool.
