I gotta ask you you got weight equipment there

in the back Do you actually use that weight,

00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:36.560
those weights? Tell me. Yeah. Of course, man.

00:01:37.780 --> 00:01:41.459
Um, dude, so long story short, I used to be,

00:01:41.540 --> 00:01:44.019
I used to be in shape. I'm a shape now, but if

00:01:44.019 --> 00:01:46.260
you look back at my older videos and I'll, I'll

00:01:46.260 --> 00:01:48.939
show you this photo I was going through. Would

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:54.060
you say I'm a shape now? I'm a shape. Yeah. Okay.

00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.000
And I was like, man, I would see myself. I'm

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.280

00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:02.219
like to me but like I'll send you this photo

00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:05.140
later and I was like I gotta get in shape but

00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:07.540
every time I would start working out I get hurt

00:02:07.540 --> 00:02:11.340
I swear to you like I tore my bicep once I got

00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:13.900
herniated disc in my back and those get aggravated

00:02:13.900 --> 00:02:19.319
I got dang tennis elbow you know and uh it just

00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:21.139
was always a problem and then again so I ended

00:02:21.139 --> 00:02:22.919
up getting this thing here and I was I was on

00:02:22.919 --> 00:02:27.039
a roll dude I was like 205 Got down to 182 and

00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:29.400
then I threw my back out again and then I just

00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.539
freaking You know what I mean? So I just got

00:02:32.539 --> 00:02:35.860
back into it about two weeks ago But yes, that

00:02:35.860 --> 00:02:40.030
equipment gets used about five days a week Does

00:02:40.030 --> 00:02:43.389
anything other than the bench get used? Brother,

00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:46.330
this is a complete functional trainer. Okay,

00:02:46.569 --> 00:02:48.770
I got a landmine attachment over there. I got

00:02:48.770 --> 00:02:52.330
cable crossovers This is a Smith machine. So,

00:02:52.330 --> 00:02:54.409
you know, it helps a little bit of reduction

00:02:54.409 --> 00:02:57.650
on the The weights there. I think it's like a

00:02:57.650 --> 00:03:00.289
35 pounds. I was like 10 pound difference, but

00:03:00.289 --> 00:03:02.750
now it's got a leg press thing I lay on my back

00:03:02.750 --> 00:03:05.969
do my leg press do my squats I got can I can

00:03:05.969 --> 00:03:09.900
do flies. It's great. It's good All right. One

00:03:09.900 --> 00:03:11.479
of the things I want to start off with, I'm going

00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:13.680
to ask you the same question I ask about everybody.

00:03:15.219 --> 00:03:18.419
Tell me your story about how you got in the trades.

00:03:18.560 --> 00:03:20.539
What were you doing before and how did you get

00:03:20.539 --> 00:03:24.800
into HVAC? Do you want the long -winded out answer

00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:27.439
or just like a quick synopsis? You want footnotes?

00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:29.780
What do you want? Tell me the whole story. What's

00:03:29.780 --> 00:03:31.550
up? All right. So I don't know it. I don't think

00:03:31.550 --> 00:03:33.669
I've ever heard of this. All right. I was born

00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:38.789
September 12th, 1990. I thought you, what do

00:03:38.789 --> 00:03:46.169
you want? All right. So roughly 2010. Okay. I'm

00:03:46.169 --> 00:03:51.849
working, I'm 19, 20. I'm working at a place doing

00:03:51.849 --> 00:03:53.930
with adults with disabilities. I was there for

00:03:53.930 --> 00:03:57.539
about two years. And I was like, all right, this

00:03:57.539 --> 00:04:00.960
ain't my jam. I enjoyed it, but it just wasn't

00:04:00.960 --> 00:04:04.580
gonna be my career. I ended up joining the military.

00:04:05.099 --> 00:04:07.580
That didn't pan out. I did not fulfill my contract,

00:04:07.659 --> 00:04:10.539
had some heart issues. So that got put on the

00:04:10.539 --> 00:04:12.919
books, came back to work with adults with disabilities.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.199
I was with a girl at the time, and by a girl

00:04:16.199 --> 00:04:19.379
at the time, it is now my wife. Prior to me leaving,

00:04:19.500 --> 00:04:21.920
got back, of course, I'm all horned up. So we

00:04:21.920 --> 00:04:24.750
had a kid, all right? practically immediately.

00:04:24.930 --> 00:04:26.569
And then as soon as I'm having the kid, my dad

00:04:26.569 --> 00:04:29.389
says, I always say it like this and I apologize,

00:04:29.410 --> 00:04:32.470
but this is how my dad talks. Son, you need a

00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:35.889
career. And he did HVAC. So he got me in line

00:04:35.889 --> 00:04:40.129
with what he did. This was back in 2011. I worked

00:04:40.129 --> 00:04:43.850
there for about two years. I didn't take it serious,

00:04:44.009 --> 00:04:46.670
man. I should have. My dad is an intelligent,

00:04:47.129 --> 00:04:50.110
smart guy. He would rebuild boards, solder. Like

00:04:50.110 --> 00:04:53.779
he was, he's a G. I just was collecting the paycheck.

00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:55.879
I didn't give a shit. Anyways, I ended up leaving

00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:57.680
there because the paychecks at that place started

00:04:57.680 --> 00:05:00.879
bouncing. I had a family to raise, so I went

00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.699
through the paces for a while. I worked at a

00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:08.000
CNC machine shop that worked on Harleys. Injection

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.480
blow mold, I worked at UPS in Gettysburg. Had

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.730
a couple odds and ends jobs. What else so then

00:05:16.730 --> 00:05:20.790
around 2016 I got on board with the guy that

00:05:20.790 --> 00:05:22.649
used to work at that first company started his

00:05:22.649 --> 00:05:25.850
own company and strictly duck duck work metal

00:05:25.850 --> 00:05:29.329
duck work on Commercial spaces so big boy stuff,

00:05:29.750 --> 00:05:31.829
you know master metal. I always called myself

00:05:31.829 --> 00:05:33.290
that love sheet metal, but that's what I did

00:05:33.290 --> 00:05:35.930
I just did duck work and then I got an opportunity

00:05:35.930 --> 00:05:39.779
at another place in which They were around since

00:05:39.779 --> 00:05:43.600
1902. They operated. Fantastic place. They're

00:05:43.600 --> 00:05:45.819
still probably around rocking and rolling. This

00:05:45.819 --> 00:05:49.459
was in Maryland. Um, I lied my way in. I'm like,

00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:50.620
yeah, dude, I know what I'm doing. I've been

00:05:50.620 --> 00:05:53.740
doing this for years. I didn't know shit, dude.

00:05:54.420 --> 00:05:58.000
Did not know a thing. This was about 2017, 2018.

00:05:58.300 --> 00:06:00.639
Okay. But I get in, end up becoming a really

00:06:00.639 --> 00:06:03.839
good installer. I would say, um, from what the

00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:06.220
other guys told me, like by other guys, he's

00:06:06.220 --> 00:06:08.569
like the sales guys was like, I only want you

00:06:08.569 --> 00:06:11.750
to do my installs. So Take that for what it's

00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:13.649
worth. I was like, okay, cool. I've really had

00:06:13.649 --> 00:06:15.569
some craftsmanship I cared how my stuff looked

00:06:15.569 --> 00:06:17.750
wanted to work. Right? That's when I started

00:06:17.750 --> 00:06:21.670
to uh Told you this was gonna be a long out drawn

00:06:21.670 --> 00:06:26.569
out answer. Um Invested myself. I had a one of

00:06:26.569 --> 00:06:28.389
my senior techs there, man I remember I was working

00:06:28.389 --> 00:06:30.470
at like it was like midnight, dude and we had

00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:33.110
to drill this hole through some freaking granite

00:06:33.110 --> 00:06:36.250
tile through a house because the guy who sold

00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:38.629
the job didn't give a shit anyways and he's like

00:06:38.629 --> 00:06:41.129
yo just drill the hole i'm like f you charlie

00:06:41.129 --> 00:06:43.069
i'll come i'll come beat your ass because he

00:06:43.069 --> 00:06:45.970
called you know he's like anyways super great

00:06:45.970 --> 00:06:48.170
guy he is the one who said you know what why

00:06:48.170 --> 00:06:50.089
don't you give a shit about yourself invest in

00:06:50.089 --> 00:06:51.990
yourself and you know at first i was real hot

00:06:51.990 --> 00:06:53.870
-headed young and dumb i'm like you know what

00:06:53.870 --> 00:06:58.329
he's right though okay and then fast forward

00:06:58.329 --> 00:07:01.670
2020 moved to florida i think i'm a wizard at

00:07:01.670 --> 00:07:04.750
hfac i never did a service call in my life again

00:07:05.169 --> 00:07:08.050
lied my way into saying, Hey, I'm a great guy.

00:07:08.110 --> 00:07:11.009
I just fake it till you make it. Okay. Got my

00:07:11.009 --> 00:07:13.750
first gig, got my first gig down here. I couldn't

00:07:13.750 --> 00:07:16.129
change a capacitor in 2020, bro. I didn't even

00:07:16.129 --> 00:07:19.790
know. Okay. I was just like, you too. Yeah. You

00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:21.230
too was my best friend. Like I've only probably

00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:24.310
done, I've only done service for four years really

00:07:24.310 --> 00:07:28.470
at this point. And so I didn't like the direction

00:07:28.470 --> 00:07:30.930
of that company, so I moved to another company

00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:32.750
in which I really started to get my footing at

00:07:32.750 --> 00:07:36.430
the end of 2020. So I got into my own truck around

00:07:36.430 --> 00:07:40.930
September. I would say around 2021 is when I

00:07:40.930 --> 00:07:43.329
was like, you know what? This is my passion.

00:07:43.350 --> 00:07:45.509
This is my drive. Started really investing in

00:07:45.509 --> 00:07:49.209
myself, time on YouTube, watching and reading

00:07:49.209 --> 00:07:52.230
books, you know, like HVAC School, Craig, you

00:07:52.230 --> 00:07:55.670
know, Migliaccio, all those things. Really educational

00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:59.959
stuff. Ty Brenneman. And then fast forward, I

00:07:59.959 --> 00:08:03.360
got really, at least to my extent, felt really

00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.779
confident in how I performed at work. Came across

00:08:06.779 --> 00:08:09.480
this opportunity at where I am now. Again, this

00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:13.079
is not my business that I started. It was a business

00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:15.920
that was acquired by a partner of mine, a buddy,

00:08:16.379 --> 00:08:23.000
and I ran the show. And basically from 2022 to

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.379
now, it's all been. It's been self -taught. So

00:08:25.379 --> 00:08:27.399
like if you guys watch my videos or anything,

00:08:27.600 --> 00:08:29.000
they're not going to be the prettiest or best

00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:31.660
because I'm still learning trial by error as

00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:35.840
I'm out in the field. But sometimes the lessons

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:40.159
you learn doing it, learning on the job are the

00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.519
lessons that stick. If you have to figure out

00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:46.500
they're on the job, you're probably going to

00:08:46.500 --> 00:08:51.700
remember it next time. Dude. Sorry, ice. Sorry,

00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:55.419
everybody. So that leads me to where I am now.

00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:57.379
And perfect example of what you just said was

00:08:57.379 --> 00:09:00.000
I was actually at a job this weekend. I changed

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.860
a compressor. That's what I actually did a video

00:09:02.860 --> 00:09:05.100
on it when the compressor was wrong. Anyways,

00:09:06.259 --> 00:09:08.059
the customer's calling. They're like, it's just

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:09.460
making a loud noise. And I'm getting there. I'm

00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:10.960
like, oh, it's mechanical. Because pressures

00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.960
are great. The issue was bad humidity issues

00:09:13.960 --> 00:09:15.899
in the house. They said, that's gone. It's just

00:09:15.899 --> 00:09:18.299
the noise. And it's this train and it's going

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:24.480
wong, wong, wong. I remember, I used to be a

00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:27.159
big train guy at the last company I was at, took

00:09:27.159 --> 00:09:29.059
off that side pin where the true suction is,

00:09:29.179 --> 00:09:31.000
pulled that discharge line off that coil, sound

00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:33.340
was gone. You know what I mean? But that comes

00:09:33.340 --> 00:09:35.720
down to being in the field, you know what I mean?

00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.820
It took me a minute, but it was just readjusting

00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:41.019
the way that copper was off that muffler, you

00:09:41.019 --> 00:09:43.580
know what I mean? Off that discharge line. And

00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:45.419
it went away and they came out, they're like,

00:09:45.559 --> 00:09:48.799
is that thing even running? I'm like, dude. Yeah,

00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:51.639
you know that could also cause a leak if it's

00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:57.940
vibrating like that Kurt It's slayer old, okay

00:09:57.940 --> 00:10:01.519
It wasn't at that point it was just that's what

00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.820
I know from from trains right there It's just

00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:06.259
they they compact everything in that side compartment

00:10:06.259 --> 00:10:09.320
where that the reversing valve is And you know

00:10:09.320 --> 00:10:11.220
probably when I was putting the compressor in

00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:13.860
you know Moot shifted probably a piece of that

00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:16.679
copper or something. I just readjusted it You

00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:19.220
know what I'm saying? That's cool, yeah. But

00:10:19.220 --> 00:10:21.080
that's my long -winded story. How long did that

00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:26.059
take, dude? The show's almost over. No, no, no.

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:30.519
Well, there's a lot of people that watch that

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.639
are interested in getting into trades and people

00:10:33.639 --> 00:10:36.600
who are interested in starting a business. So

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.019
that's one of the questions I like to ask. Because

00:10:39.019 --> 00:10:40.759
most people don't get out of high school and

00:10:40.759 --> 00:10:45.129
say, hey, I want to be an HVAC tech. We kind

00:10:45.129 --> 00:10:49.870
of stumble into it. Most of us do. Except for

00:10:49.870 --> 00:10:53.009
Tim Distasio. He knew from the start. That's

00:10:53.009 --> 00:10:56.370
what he wanted to be. You know what I mean? But

00:10:56.370 --> 00:10:58.509
most of us, we started doing something else.

00:10:58.970 --> 00:11:01.470
Yeah. So even, you know, I go back to a line

00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:04.230
of, um, my grandfather was, you know, back in

00:11:04.230 --> 00:11:06.409
the day, plumbing and heating went hand in hand,

00:11:06.409 --> 00:11:10.730
right? So that's, that's what the two plumbing

00:11:10.730 --> 00:11:12.529
and you get what I'm saying. And then eventually

00:11:12.750 --> 00:11:15.370
air conditioning came into the fold. So we had

00:11:15.370 --> 00:11:17.649
Kraus Mechanical up in Baltimore and that's what

00:11:17.649 --> 00:11:19.850
my family ran. It was my grandfather and then

00:11:19.850 --> 00:11:22.289
my dad took it. Once my grandfather passed away,

00:11:22.389 --> 00:11:24.950
my dad ran it for a little while. It was like,

00:11:25.090 --> 00:11:27.169
F this, it's better just to work for somebody

00:11:27.169 --> 00:11:30.009
else. And, you know, it was always in my blood,

00:11:30.370 --> 00:11:32.490
but my parents were divorced. So like, it wasn't

00:11:32.490 --> 00:11:35.570
like I saw my dad working on air conditioners

00:11:35.570 --> 00:11:38.110
all the time, but yeah, it was definitely something.

00:11:38.819 --> 00:11:41.240
I'm glad that I was brought into and I wouldn't

00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.519
see my life in any type of fashion. It would

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:46.519
be some sort of blue collar trade related gig.

00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:49.100
If they asked me, what would you do outside of

00:11:49.100 --> 00:11:51.659
this now? Outside of playing football or something,

00:11:52.259 --> 00:11:59.820
you know? Yeah, I happen to love what I do. I

00:11:59.820 --> 00:12:02.460
came out of high school thinking I was going

00:12:02.460 --> 00:12:06.049
to be an engineer or something like that. I actually

00:12:06.049 --> 00:12:08.649
think I'm much happier doing what I do now than

00:12:08.649 --> 00:12:11.830
I ever would have been as an engineer because,

00:12:12.350 --> 00:12:15.529
you know, I heard my dad's stories. He was a

00:12:15.529 --> 00:12:19.549
mechanical engineer and he longed to be out in

00:12:19.549 --> 00:12:25.470
the field working. And so I just think I love

00:12:25.470 --> 00:12:29.110
what I do is a great job. And we love what you

00:12:29.110 --> 00:12:31.509
do, Kurt. Okay. Let me just tell you that. Okay.

00:12:33.590 --> 00:12:35.570
I wouldn't want it any other way about being

00:12:35.570 --> 00:12:38.070
in the field too, right? So like, obviously I'm

00:12:38.070 --> 00:12:40.330
on, I got some of the operation aspect on the

00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:42.250
back end of things, running a business, understanding

00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:45.789
all that, but these are just something about

00:12:45.789 --> 00:12:48.409
getting your hands on your tools. And I don't

00:12:48.409 --> 00:12:50.529
get as dirty as you. I don't get in the trenches

00:12:50.529 --> 00:12:56.169
as deep as you do, but you're getting some shit,

00:12:56.169 --> 00:12:59.059
bro. Let's just put it like that, right? Uh,

00:12:59.059 --> 00:13:02.000
actually, uh, you tried to tackle a ventilation

00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:05.639
fan on the roof the other day. And, um, I told

00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:11.159
you my back's Jack, bro. That's a greasy job

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:14.799
to get into those things. They are nasty. Yeah.

00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.759
Yeah. This one, I mean, it doesn't look particularly

00:13:17.759 --> 00:13:20.799
too, I guess maybe once I started dismantling

00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:22.940
it, it probably would have, but I needed a second

00:13:22.940 --> 00:13:25.360
set of hands to get on that bad boy. You know

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.080
what I mean? Cause like, that's why if you, if

00:13:27.080 --> 00:13:29.730
you watch, I put, uh, my rope on there so i could

00:13:29.730 --> 00:13:31.570
pull the thing down because one it was just hot

00:13:31.570 --> 00:13:34.690
as hell you know they were down there with the

00:13:34.690 --> 00:13:39.730
the hood ah empanadas i like this yeah let did

00:13:39.730 --> 00:13:44.110
you just call him empanadas oh of course oh vick

00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:47.750
over there um i wouldn't say it was an epic fail

00:13:47.750 --> 00:13:51.110
whatsoever i mean one it's a learning thing two

00:13:51.110 --> 00:13:55.490
um i wouldn't want to replace that and and and

00:13:55.490 --> 00:13:59.500
work on that shit for That's a $4 ,000 job just

00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:02.259
in labor to do one of those from how I've seen

00:14:02.259 --> 00:14:07.059
it be done. So in that retrospect, it went in

00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:10.879
really nice. I quoted it for $2 ,500, but I wasn't,

00:14:10.879 --> 00:14:14.740
again, the way my back was and having to do that

00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:17.080
extra, I needed another set of hands and now

00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:21.440
why not? On one almost just like that one time,

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:24.559
my boss sent me to go change the bearings on

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:32.860
this thing. Oh my word. I was there all day long.

00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:35.840
And if I ever come across that ever again, I'm

00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.019
just going to quote them a whole new ventilation

00:14:39.019 --> 00:14:40.779
fan. I'm not going to change the bearings on

00:14:40.779 --> 00:14:43.399
this thing. That was a job. Oh, I believe it.

00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:45.860
Yeah. I ended up, you know, I got a lot of fricking

00:14:45.860 --> 00:14:47.799
super awesome feedback. Everybody's like, dude,

00:14:47.799 --> 00:14:50.279
just, just replace it with a power pack. Heads

00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:52.360
up for that particular model. They don't make

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.600
power packs. So I couldn't, um, would have loved

00:14:55.600 --> 00:14:58.399
to cause Again, I didn't know that from Jump

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.440
Street. Anyways, the way I had seen it, I was

00:15:00.440 --> 00:15:02.240
like, all right, a couple of bolts here, pull

00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.240
that bad boy through. Nah, dude, there was like

00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:08.279
torsion screws in there that had the keyway and

00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:11.899
I didn't even have the proper hub, like the puller,

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:14.600
you know, with the hooks. I don't have that type

00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:20.980
of puller. And now we know again. But like everybody

00:15:20.980 --> 00:15:23.440
did warn me like, dude, at that rate, just replace

00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:25.299
it with a power pack or just get a whole new

00:15:25.299 --> 00:15:28.809
one. I was like, noted. And Adrian even told

00:15:28.809 --> 00:15:31.309
me, bro. I text him like, Hey bro, like how's,

00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:33.029
how difficult? Cause I watch videos. Everybody's

00:15:33.029 --> 00:15:35.350
doing like the belt driven ones and, and regular

00:15:35.350 --> 00:15:37.830
like PSC ones and he looks super easy. I'm like,

00:15:37.870 --> 00:15:41.889
all right, well, this can't be too bad. And on

00:15:41.889 --> 00:15:45.850
top of that, they're just nasty. Yeah, they are

00:15:45.850 --> 00:15:48.750
nasty. I got to go return that by the way. I

00:15:48.750 --> 00:15:52.559
just got my RMA. So yeah. All right. You gotta

00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.620
return the motor? Yeah I gotta return the motor.

00:15:54.940 --> 00:15:56.919
It's funny they actually emailed us back someone

00:15:56.919 --> 00:16:01.220
else had gotten our somehow our return label

00:16:01.220 --> 00:16:04.740
and uh what'd they say they're like uh it was

00:16:04.740 --> 00:16:08.320
returned with the the wrong um the wrong switch

00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:11.259
and the fan I was like I still have it so somewhere

00:16:11.259 --> 00:16:17.779
along the lines they had crossed it so Victor,

00:16:17.779 --> 00:16:20.559
I delivered my share of pizzas as well. That

00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:23.179
was actually a very good high school job delivering

00:16:23.179 --> 00:16:27.740
pizzas. Yo, you did deliver pizzas. You had a

00:16:27.740 --> 00:16:31.259
wild journey, my friend. Alright, let's talk

00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:38.440
about how Kurt got into HVAC. We're turning this

00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:40.980
thing around right on you, bro. You know, the

00:16:40.980 --> 00:16:44.519
first HVAC, it wasn't really HVAC. I was working

00:16:44.519 --> 00:16:49.320
on air conditioners and vehicles. Mm -hmm. I

00:16:49.320 --> 00:16:51.600
started working for a company that originally

00:16:51.600 --> 00:17:01.200
was converting R12 vehicles to R34A. And they

00:17:01.200 --> 00:17:04.039
just kept doing air conditioning work for vehicles.

00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:08.500
And yeah, I was the grunt there. I was doing

00:17:08.500 --> 00:17:10.579
all the hard work while they're running around

00:17:10.579 --> 00:17:14.339
with them schematics telling me what to do. And

00:17:14.339 --> 00:17:17.519
you're just saying. It was hard work and very

00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:21.200
tight confined spaces. I mean to change an evaporator

00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:23.500
coil You have to disassemble the whole front

00:17:23.500 --> 00:17:30.200
of the Nah Nah, I Mean and sometimes you'd be

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:32.519
shocked at the size of the air handler that is

00:17:32.519 --> 00:17:35.519
hiding behind the dash is huge It's the size

00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:41.640
of a motor And you're just like no sir How long

00:17:41.640 --> 00:17:49.009
did you do that for? a grueling six months. All

00:17:49.009 --> 00:17:54.309
right, all right. Got your feet wet. Yeah, I

00:17:54.309 --> 00:17:56.589
didn't like it. I didn't like it. And I picked

00:17:56.589 --> 00:18:02.269
up, well, my wife gave me a book on HVAC and

00:18:02.269 --> 00:18:04.829
I read it cover to cover like two times. I'm

00:18:04.829 --> 00:18:07.430
like, I think I can go in and get a job. I know

00:18:07.430 --> 00:18:10.049
enough about this stuff now to do it. Let's go.

00:18:10.410 --> 00:18:14.049
I was kind of like you. I walked in. I know everything

00:18:14.049 --> 00:18:17.259
there is to know. Yeah, I was ready to quote

00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:19.880
I was ready to start quoting typical pressures

00:18:19.880 --> 00:18:23.819
for r22 and everything else and I Didn't know

00:18:23.819 --> 00:18:27.680
Jack. Yeah. Yeah, I'm with you bro. We still

00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.019
I'm still just winging it, you know We just couldn't

00:18:32.019 --> 00:18:36.019
make it work, dude a buddy told me He's like

00:18:36.019 --> 00:18:39.259
dude like 80 % of this shit. It's just communication

00:18:39.470 --> 00:18:41.829
At least, you know, for us, you know, in residential,

00:18:41.849 --> 00:18:43.970
right? It's just communicating with the customer,

00:18:44.009 --> 00:18:46.589
understanding their problems, because more than,

00:18:46.670 --> 00:18:49.829
I mean, it's not that difficult, right? There's

00:18:49.829 --> 00:18:53.750
some things that can be a little bit more, like

00:18:53.750 --> 00:18:57.710
more, you know, I'm trying to say difficult than

00:18:57.710 --> 00:18:59.950
others. There's some very technical stuff out

00:18:59.950 --> 00:19:02.130
there, yeah. For sure. Especially with, you know,

00:19:02.150 --> 00:19:04.490
the way everything's equipment's being manufactured

00:19:04.490 --> 00:19:08.690
now. But it's really just, you know, we're just...

00:19:08.490 --> 00:19:10.890
customer relations that sometimes, you know,

00:19:10.930 --> 00:19:16.009
we're therapists for people. I'm not a very good

00:19:16.009 --> 00:19:18.029
therapist. Let's put it that way. I don't know,

00:19:18.029 --> 00:19:20.210
man. I hear the way you talk to some of them

00:19:20.210 --> 00:19:23.230
customers when you walk up in there. Sometimes

00:19:23.230 --> 00:19:26.450
I don't have patience. Yeah, understood. You

00:19:26.450 --> 00:19:28.700
know what I mean? For example, I could change

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:31.059
the battery in their smoke detector and be honest.

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:35.299
Here we go. You know what? I see those comments.

00:19:35.559 --> 00:19:37.180
There's got to be a, how many comments you think

00:19:37.180 --> 00:19:40.799
per video do you get of that? It's like Kirk

00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:42.980
got a good customer today. No smoke detectors

00:19:42.980 --> 00:19:44.779
going off. It don't even got to have the smoke

00:19:44.779 --> 00:19:47.279
detectors and they still bring it up. I know

00:19:47.279 --> 00:19:49.420
it, but you know, part of it, part of me is like,

00:19:49.500 --> 00:19:53.049
if these people can't take. The initiative to

00:19:53.049 --> 00:19:55.230
change the battery in their smoke detector. Why

00:19:55.230 --> 00:19:58.029
am I gonna do it for them? That's that's the

00:19:58.029 --> 00:20:00.210
part of me that doesn't have the patience coming

00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:04.650
through When I could change the battery and maybe

00:20:04.650 --> 00:20:07.549
make a little more money, I'm just I'm just thinking

00:20:07.549 --> 00:20:12.950
Man, you know what I ain't go a lot of you, you

00:20:12.950 --> 00:20:16.289
know, we uh We were living with a Beatman smoke

00:20:16.289 --> 00:20:18.910
detector probably for like three six months because

00:20:18.910 --> 00:20:21.549
eventually you just tune it out or I just close

00:20:21.549 --> 00:20:23.089
the door because it's on the other side of the

00:20:23.089 --> 00:20:26.650
house and One of our friends came over like that

00:20:26.650 --> 00:20:29.230
smoke detector still going off because I got

00:20:29.230 --> 00:20:31.029
some batteries in the car Let me get you some

00:20:31.029 --> 00:20:38.150
batteries like I didn't even notice You know

00:20:38.150 --> 00:20:42.130
I went into one of my own to the office one of

00:20:42.130 --> 00:20:45.589
the rental companies I work in And their smoke

00:20:45.589 --> 00:20:49.009
detector was going off. Leading by example, that's

00:20:49.009 --> 00:20:51.309
all they're doing, okay? You follow the leader,

00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:55.430
that's all. And my ears just start twitching.

00:20:58.430 --> 00:21:03.150
This ain't meant to be. Oh, those smoke detectors.

00:21:04.049 --> 00:21:06.289
And some of the places I go into sometimes are

00:21:06.289 --> 00:21:12.390
just so nasty. There was one that was so nasty

00:21:12.390 --> 00:21:16.319
recently. I've got the job to replace the evaporator

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:19.640
hole, but the day I showed up to do it, nobody

00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:27.079
would answer the door. And I just, I didn't follow

00:21:27.079 --> 00:21:28.960
up on it because I didn't want to go back. I

00:21:28.960 --> 00:21:32.140
mean, it was nasty. Dude, I feel ya. You know,

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:34.900
the bad thing for me is I use Jobber, right?

00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:37.539
And Jobber sends a text message to the customer

00:21:37.539 --> 00:21:40.710
to let them know I'm on the way. and you can

00:21:40.710 --> 00:21:42.490
tell when they read those things. It's like,

00:21:42.490 --> 00:21:44.309
damn it, should I hit this or should I just show

00:21:44.309 --> 00:21:48.069
up? You know what I'm saying? Because that same

00:21:48.069 --> 00:21:50.529
instance, you're like, you're hoping like, for

00:21:50.529 --> 00:21:53.490
example, the other day I went to one and the

00:21:53.490 --> 00:21:56.730
window was 12 to four, but I got there like 11,

00:21:56.910 --> 00:21:59.529
40, and they answered on the ring. They're like,

00:21:59.970 --> 00:22:03.170
oh, I texted you back through the message. I

00:22:03.170 --> 00:22:05.210
won't be there. And I was like. That's okay,

00:22:05.269 --> 00:22:07.250
I'll wait it out, but it's perfect prime example.

00:22:07.309 --> 00:22:08.910
You're like, well, maybe they just won't be here

00:22:08.910 --> 00:22:16.750
and I can leave. I've got this, you know, I'm

00:22:16.750 --> 00:22:20.329
using Housecall Pro and I'm not using the calendar

00:22:20.329 --> 00:22:23.670
on it. I really should because it'll text them

00:22:23.670 --> 00:22:25.529
ahead of time, let them know I've been assigned

00:22:25.529 --> 00:22:28.930
to it and all that good stuff. But I've just

00:22:28.930 --> 00:22:31.589
got this habit, I call the customer before I

00:22:31.589 --> 00:22:36.569
go out. Yeah. So, um, and if I can't get them

00:22:36.569 --> 00:22:43.170
on the phone, I don't go. Oh, okay. Because I'm

00:22:43.170 --> 00:22:47.329
going to say 60 % of the time these are tenants.

00:22:47.490 --> 00:22:49.869
Yep. I want to make sure they're home before

00:22:49.869 --> 00:22:54.369
I go. Yep. And, um, because I don't want to do

00:22:54.369 --> 00:22:57.819
a wasted trip and even though The rental companies,

00:22:58.019 --> 00:23:00.079
they don't want me to do a wasted trip. So if

00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.440
they don't answer your phone, I might text them.

00:23:02.519 --> 00:23:04.240
If I don't hear something like in five minutes,

00:23:04.460 --> 00:23:08.019
I move on to the next. Yeah, no, totally concur.

00:23:08.259 --> 00:23:10.339
I learned from when I was at that company in

00:23:10.339 --> 00:23:13.180
Maryland, they were like, like, hey, cause that's

00:23:13.180 --> 00:23:14.960
what we would do. We would always call the customer

00:23:14.960 --> 00:23:16.920
before we were on the way. And if we didn't get

00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:19.079
a call, I'd like just hit them up and like, Hey,

00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:20.640
I didn't, I didn't get a response. We're like,

00:23:20.859 --> 00:23:22.880
Oh, just go ahead and head there anyways. Maybe

00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:24.640
they'll be there. You know what I mean? So like

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:27.359
from that point, like, That was always what was

00:23:27.359 --> 00:23:30.039
kind of ingrained in me is just like head there.

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:33.940
But for the most part, like you said, we just

00:23:33.940 --> 00:23:35.960
do the call through the voice answering system,

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:39.339
the call transfer, and also do the text message.

00:23:39.400 --> 00:23:42.720
And then hopefully that way we can get a little

00:23:42.720 --> 00:23:46.059
bit of scheduling on point, right? You know,

00:23:46.059 --> 00:23:48.000
to let them know. Another cool thing is they

00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:51.299
can kind of track where I'm at, you know? Yeah,

00:23:51.380 --> 00:23:53.880
they can see you your path on the way there,

00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:59.099
right? Yeah, so You know, it's I haven't had

00:23:59.099 --> 00:24:01.539
too many issues where I show up and they're not

00:24:01.539 --> 00:24:04.940
there. I had one about a month ago I was there

00:24:04.940 --> 00:24:08.920
was like 930 and rang the doorbell I knocked

00:24:08.920 --> 00:24:11.940
cuz or I knock first because you know what they

00:24:11.940 --> 00:24:15.440
say is it seems more friendlier because friends

00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:19.339
knock and Like solicitors bring the doorbell

00:24:19.339 --> 00:24:22.039
or whatever. So I knock no answer ring the doorbell

00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:24.279
and it's a recording doorbell Well, they ended

00:24:24.279 --> 00:24:26.559
up calling like five hours later saying I never

00:24:26.559 --> 00:24:29.079
showed up I said no no no no I take a picture

00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.900
of the front door and then I back up before I

00:24:31.900 --> 00:24:33.720
leave and take a picture of my van in front of

00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:35.660
their house because I park on the street and

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:37.819
I put that in a profile and then we forward that

00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:40.700
to the customer like Well, we we never saw them.

00:24:40.700 --> 00:24:43.380
You know, I'm like, yeah. Well at least I you

00:24:43.380 --> 00:24:47.000
were there. I was there like Then again, guess

00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.539
what? Through our CRMs, we can geo -pin where

00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:51.859
we're at and send them our location at what time.

00:24:52.380 --> 00:24:57.400
Yeah, that's pretty swift. But yeah, there's

00:24:57.400 --> 00:25:02.640
some good SOPs right there. Anything that backs

00:25:02.640 --> 00:25:04.619
you up and makes you look more professional,

00:25:04.960 --> 00:25:09.180
I'm all for it. Makes a small company look just

00:25:09.180 --> 00:25:12.019
as professional as a big company. I like that.

00:25:12.730 --> 00:25:14.670
Hell yeah. That's why I grow my hair out, man.

00:25:14.789 --> 00:25:20.250
Cause you know, it looks more professional. Dude,

00:25:20.509 --> 00:25:23.390
you look like the stereotypical, what you would

00:25:23.390 --> 00:25:27.230
expect to show up when you call the HBHD tech.

00:25:27.569 --> 00:25:29.089
Now, is that a good thing or a bad thing? No.

00:25:29.650 --> 00:25:31.970
I mean, you are what people are looking for.

00:25:32.069 --> 00:25:33.950
That's what I'm saying. So when I sell them a

00:25:33.950 --> 00:25:36.069
$20 ,000 system, brother, I'm like, you know

00:25:36.069 --> 00:25:37.829
what? You're taking it from the best. All right.

00:25:37.869 --> 00:25:43.079
Would this, would this face lie to you? I work

00:25:43.079 --> 00:25:45.859
on things, okay? I don't want to sell you this

00:25:45.859 --> 00:25:48.740
system. Trust me, I'd rather fix it. But if you're

00:25:48.740 --> 00:25:52.440
going to pay. Speaking of selling systems today,

00:25:52.539 --> 00:25:55.720
I had to give a guy an estimate today because

00:25:55.720 --> 00:26:00.119
he had a leak in our 410 coil on a 15 year old

00:26:00.119 --> 00:26:05.799
system. Okay. And just finding coils these days.

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:13.579
Forget about it. the repair is so expensive and

00:26:13.579 --> 00:26:18.460
it's 15 years old. I reported him a new system,

00:26:18.900 --> 00:26:21.259
he's got a leak in coal and now it's gonna cost

00:26:21.259 --> 00:26:24.380
him like a little over $7 ,000 because he's gonna

00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:27.740
have to get a new system. Yeah, nah man, that's

00:26:27.740 --> 00:26:30.240
generally when we get to a replacement repair

00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:34.539
option, it's that same exact scenario. It's like...

00:26:34.170 --> 00:26:36.950
you know, a Lennox or a Carrier, whoever. One,

00:26:37.170 --> 00:26:39.109
the coil is going to be ridiculously expensive.

00:26:39.170 --> 00:26:40.809
Then you got to mark it out. Plus your labor,

00:26:40.970 --> 00:26:43.130
you're, you're at a third of what a new unit,

00:26:43.230 --> 00:26:47.150
maybe even half, including refrigerant of, and,

00:26:47.150 --> 00:26:49.390
and what you just said there lined it up perfectly

00:26:49.390 --> 00:26:52.549
though. It's like, it, it makes sense just to

00:26:52.549 --> 00:26:55.490
go with the new, the new system, you know? Get

00:26:55.490 --> 00:26:59.089
you a 10 year parts warranty and just ride it

00:26:59.089 --> 00:27:02.450
out. And then when, when he finally agreed to

00:27:02.450 --> 00:27:06.460
do it, He started telling me that it just runs

00:27:06.460 --> 00:27:09.779
all the time, it feels humid in there, and I

00:27:09.779 --> 00:27:12.619
was like, well, we're gonna fix that. So what

00:27:12.619 --> 00:27:15.660
you did is you gave him an extra ton, correct?

00:27:16.180 --> 00:27:21.220
No. That's gonna fix all the problems. Oh my

00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:24.779
God. And what I need to sell him is one of those

00:27:24.779 --> 00:27:29.119
shades that go over the condenser. On top of

00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.349
the shade, you need the mister. This guy's gonna,

00:27:33.849 --> 00:27:37.190
it'll actually, it'll actually pay him back for

00:27:37.190 --> 00:27:38.690
what he's paying for the system in the first

00:27:38.690 --> 00:27:42.329
year. Did you know that? And make it blow out

00:27:42.329 --> 00:27:46.950
32 degree air. Without freezing. It's unbelievable

00:27:46.950 --> 00:27:49.970
what they're able to achieve these days. Oh my

00:27:49.970 --> 00:27:53.789
God. I'm waiting for Tim Di Stasio to just rip

00:27:53.789 --> 00:27:56.569
him a new one on that. He just needs to stay

00:27:56.569 --> 00:27:59.470
on that guy's channel just take his 10 15 20

00:27:59.470 --> 00:28:01.210
minute videos and just break them down Did you

00:28:01.210 --> 00:28:05.369
would just gold mine this whole time? You know,

00:28:05.369 --> 00:28:08.910
I know he is hilarious his reactions on those

00:28:08.910 --> 00:28:15.210
videos is what gets me is when he goes Like well

00:28:15.210 --> 00:28:18.670
Yeah, okay. He came in on one of my comments

00:28:18.670 --> 00:28:21.609
on um that grounded compressor. I had it ran

00:28:21.609 --> 00:28:25.619
for two hours and It was me, like, checking the

00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:28.539
terminals at the, you know, the control panel.

00:28:28.779 --> 00:28:29.900
So I'm just checking them there. I was like,

00:28:30.019 --> 00:28:31.839
all right, obviously I'm gonna go check at the

00:28:31.839 --> 00:28:33.880
compressor as well. But he's like, man, you need

00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:35.539
to go inside and check it at the compressor.

00:28:36.059 --> 00:28:38.279
And a lot of people were like, did you not watch

00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:41.440
the video? And then he did respond. He's like,

00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:44.619
sorry, video cut off. You know what I mean? So

00:28:44.619 --> 00:28:46.440
I was like... They clicked on something else.

00:28:47.099 --> 00:28:50.279
Trust me. Don't want to put something out there

00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:52.839
that if Tim gets his hands on it I don't want

00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:54.700
I don't want to be part of one of his videos

00:28:54.700 --> 00:28:57.460
I basically let him know that I was saying please

00:28:57.460 --> 00:29:00.220
don't roast me. I've got 1 ,800 videos out there

00:29:00.220 --> 00:29:02.920
Please don't find one and roast me. You go find

00:29:02.920 --> 00:29:08.980
something brother I'm sure I've probably Done

00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:12.859
something that is roast worthy in all those videos

00:29:12.859 --> 00:29:16.619
tons, dude. I mean I was yeah Can't act like

00:29:16.619 --> 00:29:19.099
we're all perfect. We're not all saints, brother.

00:29:20.599 --> 00:29:24.279
Oh, man. I caught some heat in one of my recent

00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:28.480
videos because I didn't show myself protecting

00:29:28.480 --> 00:29:35.279
the wires in a metal pull -through. Are you?

00:29:36.200 --> 00:29:38.160
I'm going to tell you, the keyboard warriors

00:29:38.160 --> 00:29:42.059
get fired up if you don't tell them you did something

00:29:42.059 --> 00:29:47.309
or if you don't show it. Yeah, dude, I had an

00:29:47.309 --> 00:29:50.410
issue for a while there like if I'm doing an

00:29:50.410 --> 00:29:53.470
evaporator coil like most of my my work's gonna

00:29:53.470 --> 00:29:55.029
be obviously at the evaporator I'm not gonna

00:29:55.029 --> 00:29:57.289
be at the condenser like I wouldn't show that

00:29:57.289 --> 00:29:59.190
like I hooked up the nitrogen or something under

00:29:59.190 --> 00:30:03.450
it. Oh Oxidation you're gonna kill the coil compressor

00:30:03.450 --> 00:30:07.349
TXV and I'd be like so like for quite a bit there

00:30:07.349 --> 00:30:09.900
when I was doing it I would just go take a quick

00:30:09.900 --> 00:30:13.480
video, hey guys, you nitrogen Nazis, I'm out

00:30:13.480 --> 00:30:15.839
here, I got it hooked up, and then just go inside,

00:30:15.920 --> 00:30:20.500
you know what I mean? But everybody's been pretty

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:23.019
kosher, I will say, it's been pretty good, but

00:30:23.019 --> 00:30:26.660
you gotta think, that video you did yesterday

00:30:26.660 --> 00:30:29.460
with the install, I mean, it was an hour long,

00:30:29.819 --> 00:30:32.400
but were you there for an hour, Kurt? Was that

00:30:32.400 --> 00:30:36.920
everything you did? You know, it's like - That

00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:40.430
was a four hour job. It's like, do you want me

00:30:40.430 --> 00:30:45.789
to do the whole thing, guys? You know? And really,

00:30:46.150 --> 00:30:48.670
when I'm filming those, if y 'all don't know,

00:30:48.750 --> 00:30:52.730
I'm editing with the shutter button on my camera.

00:30:54.529 --> 00:30:57.170
What I'm doing is I try to film the important

00:30:57.170 --> 00:31:02.710
part, shut it off, and that way when I come home

00:31:02.710 --> 00:31:04.970
and I download all the videos, I just stick it

00:31:04.970 --> 00:31:07.329
all together and I don't have to edit so much.

00:31:09.020 --> 00:31:12.279
I do edit a little bit, but not much. I'm just

00:31:12.279 --> 00:31:14.259
basically taking all those videos, those short

00:31:14.259 --> 00:31:17.039
videos, sticking them together and putting a

00:31:17.039 --> 00:31:22.180
little transition in there and that's it. And

00:31:22.180 --> 00:31:27.720
those long videos do well. They do. That's the

00:31:27.720 --> 00:31:33.859
truth. The truth, my man. Somebody said nitrogen

00:31:33.859 --> 00:31:39.839
Nazis. They, yeah, I was like, man, I gotta coin

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:41.579
that one. But I would, I'd be like, you know

00:31:41.579 --> 00:31:43.799
I did it, because they would. Instead of, you'd

00:31:43.799 --> 00:31:46.500
see me in other videos, I would put like, flush,

00:31:46.680 --> 00:31:48.480
flush. It's like, oh, you didn't flush the line.

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:51.059
I'm like, here I go again, so I'm doing an install

00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:52.819
video. Make sure you show you do the flushing.

00:31:52.960 --> 00:31:55.940
I was like, at the end of the day, guys. I also

00:31:55.940 --> 00:31:57.759
wire nutted everything. I didn't show you that.

00:31:58.140 --> 00:32:00.119
I glued an elbow that I didn't show, but I showed

00:32:00.119 --> 00:32:02.859
you putting the female end in of the drain line.

00:32:03.079 --> 00:32:05.019
Didn't show you putting the thermostat on, the

00:32:05.019 --> 00:32:07.920
tie downs, the, the, the panduits, the, you know

00:32:07.920 --> 00:32:11.720
what I mean? All kinds of stuff, man. Okay. Which

00:32:11.720 --> 00:32:15.099
dolly? In that video where I did, where I did

00:32:15.099 --> 00:32:18.299
the mobile home air conditioner, I didn't have

00:32:18.299 --> 00:32:21.259
a dolly. Okay. But people pointed out that there

00:32:21.259 --> 00:32:24.710
was a dolly holding the door open. Okay, the

00:32:24.710 --> 00:32:28.450
door was not open. I didn't have access to the

00:32:28.450 --> 00:32:32.329
mobile home. Oh man. And I was doing the condenser,

00:32:32.549 --> 00:32:35.730
okay? Yeah, exactly. And it showed up afterwards,

00:32:35.930 --> 00:32:37.890
opened the door and there it was. So it's not

00:32:37.890 --> 00:32:41.829
like it was there the whole time. That's so,

00:32:41.829 --> 00:32:44.990
that's funny. I love it. But people were like,

00:32:45.049 --> 00:32:48.950
if only he had a dolly, I'm like, if I could

00:32:48.950 --> 00:32:51.930
just remember to load it on the trailer, you

00:32:51.930 --> 00:32:53.970
know what I'm saying? Early in the morning. I'm

00:32:53.970 --> 00:32:55.450
trying to get out because I know it's gonna be

00:32:55.450 --> 00:32:58.970
a four -hour job Yeah, and I forget dude. I'm

00:32:58.970 --> 00:33:01.109
the same way. I'm like, I'll get to the job.

00:33:01.170 --> 00:33:04.869
I'm like Shit, did you did you did you guys bring

00:33:04.869 --> 00:33:07.730
it? Did you you know, it is literally just me.

00:33:07.730 --> 00:33:15.569
I'm like and so you're just like Man I'm gonna

00:33:15.569 --> 00:33:18.910
tell you one time I had to do one of these on

00:33:18.910 --> 00:33:21.250
stinger package units, you know talking about

00:33:21.250 --> 00:33:25.579
I don't The ring dedicated horizontal package

00:33:25.579 --> 00:33:29.140
units. Okay We call them stingers because they're

00:33:29.140 --> 00:33:32.359
high static. Okay, but they're they're long.

00:33:32.380 --> 00:33:34.700
They're not the square ones. It's the long package

00:33:34.700 --> 00:33:40.640
unit We had to put that thing on a dolly Stand

00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:44.019
it up and walk it through the backyard to get

00:33:44.019 --> 00:33:46.900
it to where we needed to get it And man, let

00:33:46.900 --> 00:33:51.640
me tell you that was That was a job Oh boy, I

00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:54.059
believe it. That little dolly was not made for

00:33:54.059 --> 00:33:57.339
something like that. I put something heavy on

00:33:57.339 --> 00:34:00.019
mine. I forget which one. And it broke the welds

00:34:00.019 --> 00:34:03.380
on the bottom. I mean, it's a nice dolly, you

00:34:03.380 --> 00:34:06.019
know? I was like, yeah, it wasn't made for all

00:34:06.019 --> 00:34:09.980
that either. We abuse them, man. We abuse them.

00:34:10.239 --> 00:34:12.760
That's what we do to... All right. Let me see

00:34:12.760 --> 00:34:15.619
what... We treat our tools like we treat our

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:19.340
bodies. Oh man. I'm going to pay for all this

00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:23.570
one day. I try to stay in decent shape, but like

00:34:23.570 --> 00:34:26.489
I'm starting to feel it in my knees. Uh -oh.

00:34:26.789 --> 00:34:29.989
You look good, Gary. You be doing that push -ups

00:34:29.989 --> 00:34:31.730
and pull -ups. You got that calisthenic workout,

00:34:31.750 --> 00:34:39.369
don't you? I work out at Waffle House. Hey. All

00:34:39.369 --> 00:34:42.389
right, Jake. I tried to prepare you for this.

00:34:42.409 --> 00:34:44.869
This is towards the end of the show. So I'm going

00:34:44.869 --> 00:34:49.320
to ask you what... crazy stuff have you seen

00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.900
either in people's houses, in neighborhoods,

00:34:52.219 --> 00:34:54.380
as you're doing service work, because I got a

00:34:54.380 --> 00:34:56.300
good story to tell. I wanna hear yours first,

00:34:56.519 --> 00:34:59.639
so. All right, well, you reminded me of a good

00:34:59.639 --> 00:35:02.840
one when you said that, was the bear, okay? We

00:35:02.840 --> 00:35:05.699
got black bears here in central Florida, okay?

00:35:06.280 --> 00:35:09.280
Doing some service work, and I see all these

00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.539
deer just kinda frolicking, right? Frolicking

00:35:13.539 --> 00:35:15.809
through the ding. The neighborhood, I'm like,

00:35:15.869 --> 00:35:18.130
that's a lot of deer. And I'm like, I wonder

00:35:18.130 --> 00:35:19.869
what they're running from. And then all of a

00:35:19.869 --> 00:35:23.110
sudden, this black bear just runs and darts across

00:35:23.110 --> 00:35:27.110
the road. And the damn claws on this thing are

00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:30.150
like this, and they're just scraping. And he's

00:35:30.150 --> 00:35:32.949
running through houses, coming up driveways.

00:35:33.710 --> 00:35:36.230
And I just recorded it the whole time. It was

00:35:36.230 --> 00:35:39.860
kind of, you know. Yeah, that's cool man. And

00:35:39.860 --> 00:35:42.500
then I was working on a condenser. Luckily this

00:35:42.500 --> 00:35:45.099
customer had a fence, but the bear was on the

00:35:45.099 --> 00:35:48.159
other side of the fence. Wait a minute, close

00:35:48.159 --> 00:35:51.320
to you? Oh yeah, yeah. You know, the dogs were

00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:53.880
barking and she had German Shepherds and she

00:35:53.880 --> 00:35:56.840
was like, yep, the bear's on the other side there.

00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:59.340
I'm like, alright, I'm just gonna come in for

00:35:59.340 --> 00:36:04.039
a second, is that okay? But these people, man,

00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.369
in that particular area... Like they treat these

00:36:07.369 --> 00:36:09.190
things like they're their babies, you know, they

00:36:09.190 --> 00:36:11.789
got names for them and everything. And I'm like,

00:36:11.809 --> 00:36:15.869
yeah, I'm not I'm not doing all that. No, I know

00:36:15.869 --> 00:36:19.309
being in Florida, I haven't ran across any gators

00:36:19.309 --> 00:36:21.650
at the condensers or anything. But, you know,

00:36:21.650 --> 00:36:25.329
I've I've been in proximity of little, you know,

00:36:25.489 --> 00:36:27.010
retention ponds or whatever in neighborhoods

00:36:27.010 --> 00:36:29.969
that, you know, you you see them. And snakes

00:36:29.969 --> 00:36:33.449
will get inside those condensers all the time.

00:36:34.539 --> 00:36:38.280
I had a raccoon that had gotten inside the duck

00:36:38.280 --> 00:36:41.239
work and fell down and fried on the electric

00:36:41.239 --> 00:36:48.039
heater. And possums. So it's all critter related.

00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:51.239
That's my stuff. And then obviously you got the

00:36:51.239 --> 00:36:56.940
hoarders, man, you know, the nasty. But that's

00:36:56.940 --> 00:36:59.219
about it. Nothing extreme like some guys that

00:36:59.219 --> 00:37:01.699
have really cool stories. I just, I got those.

00:37:01.949 --> 00:37:04.409
All right. I've been saving this story just for

00:37:04.409 --> 00:37:10.829
you, Jay. All right. I get called to a mobile

00:37:10.829 --> 00:37:13.650
home. OK, it's in a part where I'm still working

00:37:13.650 --> 00:37:18.329
right now. And of course, I call ahead of time,

00:37:18.349 --> 00:37:21.829
but I called the lady of the house. She said,

00:37:21.869 --> 00:37:24.130
going over there, my boyfriend's there. I said,

00:37:24.190 --> 00:37:25.789
would you please let him know I'm on the way?

00:37:25.829 --> 00:37:29.110
I don't like to surprise anybody. Well, that

00:37:29.110 --> 00:37:33.840
call never happened. I go knock on the door and

00:37:33.840 --> 00:37:35.599
I don't know if you've noticed when I knock,

00:37:35.599 --> 00:37:37.880
I knock hard. I want people to know I'm there.

00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:43.300
You're like the police brother. And this guy

00:37:43.300 --> 00:37:47.099
must've been six foot six built like a Green

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:52.119
Bay linebacker with tattoos and dreadlocks. Yeah.

00:37:52.119 --> 00:37:55.059
He opens the door and says, what do you want?

00:37:59.099 --> 00:38:01.599
And in that moment, I kind of looked down and

00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:04.880
I noticed he's got an ankle monitor on. Nah,

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:08.619
brother, that's jewelry. And I said, hey, y 'all

00:38:08.619 --> 00:38:10.300
called about the air conditioner. I'm here to

00:38:10.300 --> 00:38:13.239
fix it. And his attitude changed like that. Oh,

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:16.159
there we go. He was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,

00:38:16.260 --> 00:38:18.860
come on in. And I take a step in the door and

00:38:18.860 --> 00:38:24.159
I watch him. He runs straight to the air filter.

00:38:24.840 --> 00:38:27.400
Oh, yanks out the air filter. it's just like.

00:38:27.440 --> 00:38:31.179
Reaches in behind it and pulls out a A. R. fifteen

00:38:31.179 --> 00:38:36.699
oh boy you're like. And I was like. Yes I'm gonna

00:38:36.699 --> 00:38:41.239
act like I didn't see that. We're good here right.

00:38:42.639 --> 00:38:49.500
Trust me I'm gonna tell nobody. I don't think

00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:51.719
I was supposed to see that. Yeah, he was like,

00:38:51.860 --> 00:38:54.179
shit. That's what it was. I thought he was going

00:38:54.179 --> 00:38:55.599
to go change the filter. I thought that's where

00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:58.340
we're leading down, but the AR kind of kind of

00:38:58.340 --> 00:39:02.980
threw me off there. Yeah, I was like, no doubt.

00:39:03.079 --> 00:39:05.659
He's like, yeah, we're good. We're good. Yeah.

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.139
And I was thinking to myself, you know, that's

00:39:08.139 --> 00:39:09.860
probably not a good place to store it. It might

00:39:09.860 --> 00:39:14.980
get wet. Well, what ended up being the problem?

00:39:15.190 --> 00:39:17.889
Oh, I don't even remember. I just have this visual,

00:39:17.889 --> 00:39:21.969
this giant of a man pulling out an AR -15 in

00:39:21.969 --> 00:39:26.130
front of me. Oh, man. That's funny. Well, I'm

00:39:26.130 --> 00:39:29.130
glad you're okay. We're here now. Okay. Well,

00:39:29.170 --> 00:39:31.230
most of the time, even though you might be in

00:39:31.230 --> 00:39:33.269
a bad neighborhood, once they realize you're

00:39:33.269 --> 00:39:36.030
there to help them. Boom. You know what I mean?

00:39:36.510 --> 00:39:41.570
There's no animosity of any kind. You know, you're

00:39:41.570 --> 00:39:44.130
the best buddy. You're the guy that wanted to

00:39:44.130 --> 00:39:48.690
see you. You're my guy, bro. Yeah. I love it.

00:39:48.769 --> 00:39:51.769
Well, good story. I love it. I love it. Yeah,

00:39:51.769 --> 00:39:54.550
I don't have I've I've heard numerous countless.

00:39:55.550 --> 00:39:58.489
Well, there's a guy who does a crawl face confessions

00:39:58.489 --> 00:40:02.429
and stuff like I, you know, have had ran across

00:40:02.429 --> 00:40:06.269
snakes and seen crazy snake skin and and stuff

00:40:06.269 --> 00:40:09.909
like that. And, you know, it's not fun, but.

00:40:10.190 --> 00:40:16.869
It's gotta do it. Well, I'm starting to get more

00:40:16.869 --> 00:40:21.809
experience with these R454 systems now, and I

00:40:21.809 --> 00:40:25.510
hadn't had any serious problems with them. I

00:40:25.510 --> 00:40:29.070
have the trailer one that I put in. I've got

00:40:29.070 --> 00:40:33.329
to go back and put in a A2L sensor. I have known

00:40:33.329 --> 00:40:37.269
this, but I couldn't find one locally. I have

00:40:37.269 --> 00:40:42.260
to order one from Johnstone. Man do you with

00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:46.059
your with your codes and permitting do the inspectors

00:40:46.059 --> 00:40:50.280
ask for anything different in your area? Because

00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:55.920
of a 2l mm -hmm. No well we got one and They

00:40:55.920 --> 00:41:02.059
want to see it on pressure for an hour and Of

00:41:02.059 --> 00:41:06.619
at the rated 450 psi so you got a time stamp

00:41:06.619 --> 00:41:11.480
your photos to be able to submit that it held

00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:13.400
pressure for an hour and then they want they

00:41:13.400 --> 00:41:16.860
want the Evacuation they want to see your microns.

00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.780
So that dude that's gonna add that's gonna add

00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:22.960
I Just think just an hour there say an hour and

00:41:22.960 --> 00:41:27.380
a half two hours additional to an install Wow,

00:41:27.639 --> 00:41:29.420
yeah, we did one matter. Let me see if I got

00:41:29.420 --> 00:41:32.340
the if not I'll send it to you later But you

00:41:32.340 --> 00:41:34.739
had the inspectors is this is an orange County

00:41:34.739 --> 00:41:37.059
mind you this is in Orlando. So they're a little

00:41:37.059 --> 00:41:39.880
bit more more goofy. I heard stories of guys

00:41:39.880 --> 00:41:43.019
saying they had to wait until the next day. They

00:41:43.019 --> 00:41:46.460
had to stay on pressure overnight. You gotta

00:41:46.460 --> 00:41:49.159
be kidding me. Nah, man. They're ridiculous.

00:41:49.539 --> 00:41:52.460
Well, I do have one inspector that has this certain

00:41:52.460 --> 00:41:56.260
requirement that really pisses me off. He wants

00:41:56.260 --> 00:42:01.019
you to do the install and then come back on his

00:42:01.019 --> 00:42:04.599
time to be there to inspect it. So you got to

00:42:04.599 --> 00:42:08.130
coordinate with the homeowner with him. and take

00:42:08.130 --> 00:42:10.610
time out of your day on like maybe two days later

00:42:10.610 --> 00:42:14.090
to inspect it that's and you're just like oh

00:42:14.090 --> 00:42:18.070
okay buddy let's see i'm trying to find ash ray

00:42:18.070 --> 00:42:23.869
15 .2 section 2 name type the refrigerant piping

00:42:23.869 --> 00:42:26.289
system shall be tested in accordance to the manufacturer

00:42:26.289 --> 00:42:32.829
after completing vacuum one system is at 500

00:42:32.829 --> 00:42:35.929
like it's asking for 500 microns from the the

00:42:35.929 --> 00:42:40.119
thing The cash shall not rise. You can't get

00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.539
above $1 ,500. Where's the time for the pressure

00:42:43.539 --> 00:42:45.960
test? Yeah, it's in there though. They want an

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.480
hour on that pressure test, man. And then they

00:42:48.480 --> 00:42:54.360
want at least 10 minutes of decay. And if it's

00:42:54.360 --> 00:42:56.800
a rough job, you may be there for nine hours

00:42:56.800 --> 00:42:59.619
doing an install or something. Yeah, dude. You

00:42:59.619 --> 00:43:03.170
know, it's... I don't know, I don't know. In

00:43:03.170 --> 00:43:05.190
Florida, are you still using Duckboard on your

00:43:05.190 --> 00:43:09.909
installations? Oh yeah, man. I know, I'm not

00:43:09.909 --> 00:43:11.750
a fan of it either, but I mean, you gotta think,

00:43:11.829 --> 00:43:15.969
bro, a lot of our stuff is in garages and attics,

00:43:16.030 --> 00:43:21.789
right? So, and the envelopes aren't very good.

00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:24.070
I mean, building code, I think here is probably

00:43:24.070 --> 00:43:28.010
one of the worst, you know, I would assume from

00:43:28.010 --> 00:43:32.409
a lot of states. They just sweat. Now back in

00:43:32.409 --> 00:43:34.829
the day, back in the 60s, 70s, 80s, I've seen

00:43:34.829 --> 00:43:37.250
metal duck work and it was wrapped in that like

00:43:37.250 --> 00:43:40.309
asbestos stuff and it's still holding strong

00:43:40.309 --> 00:43:43.289
and I'm not a fan of the duck board and spaghetti

00:43:43.289 --> 00:43:47.389
junction, you know what I mean? Wait a minute,

00:43:48.130 --> 00:43:54.809
is... All right, Zay, what's your question? No,

00:43:54.889 --> 00:43:59.199
I mean, I'm... No! I was going to say, because

00:43:59.199 --> 00:44:01.460
Zay's from Louisiana, right? Somebody asked me

00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:03.619
the other day if I was from Louisiana. I'm like,

00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:08.239
no, I'm from Maryland. Someone else also said

00:44:08.239 --> 00:44:11.300
like Alabama. Come on, be proud of that. I'm

00:44:11.300 --> 00:44:14.219
from Maryland. No, I mean, I get down with Maryland.

00:44:14.239 --> 00:44:18.460
I represent the squad, you know? But, you know,

00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:22.400
now I'm here. Wait a minute, there was somebody

00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:27.539
else I noticed from Maryland. Gil! Gil! Yeah,

00:44:27.739 --> 00:44:30.260
Gil's from Maryland. Shout out to the squad.

00:44:30.539 --> 00:44:34.500
Yeah, Gil's good people, man. I can get down

00:44:34.500 --> 00:44:39.519
on my boy. What do you got? Wait a minute. All

00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:42.760
right. What's your questions? What are we installing?

00:44:43.599 --> 00:44:47.539
Yeah. I tell you that last one I just did. It

00:44:47.539 --> 00:44:52.099
was so rough. That mobile home one? Yeah, that

00:44:52.099 --> 00:44:54.340
was. I wanted to ask, I've never done like a

00:44:54.340 --> 00:44:55.619
mobile home, so I see you did the condenser.

00:44:55.659 --> 00:44:58.139
Do you just swap the evaporator? Is that all

00:44:58.139 --> 00:45:02.719
you do? You can on those, like the one I just

00:45:02.719 --> 00:45:05.119
did, that's basically changing the air conditioner.

00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:06.880
You're leaving the air handler, the blower, and

00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:10.619
the heat strips. Okay. But in this case, I need

00:45:10.619 --> 00:45:13.719
to go back and put on that A to L sensor. Okay.

00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:16.280
Yeah. Yeah, I saw you were just in there. I was

00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:19.500
like, because I used to see John Israel, and

00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:21.280
that's, you know, because I guess it's like...

00:45:21.099 --> 00:45:25.199
Framed into the like closet or wherever they

00:45:25.199 --> 00:45:30.159
put it. Uh -huh So I'm not a I'm getting I'm

00:45:30.159 --> 00:45:34.300
getting Better with them. They've been a lot

00:45:34.300 --> 00:45:36.480
More functional like we're that's what we use

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:40.280
we use rude, right? That's our primary Manufacturer

00:45:40.280 --> 00:45:44.400
and outside of those first couple we did it's

00:45:44.400 --> 00:45:49.739
gotten a lot better With the 454 aside from you

00:45:49.739 --> 00:45:51.920
know now these other regulations we have to deal

00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:55.400
with in my market and the extended amount of

00:45:55.400 --> 00:45:57.739
time when you're charging a system. Cause you

00:45:57.739 --> 00:45:59.699
know, you gotta, you gotta let that thing run,

00:46:00.059 --> 00:46:05.059
boy. Yeah. And so think about that. Plus, I mean,

00:46:05.059 --> 00:46:06.639
you can do all this other stuff when you're doing

00:46:06.639 --> 00:46:09.320
your vacuum and pressure testing, but golly,

00:46:09.840 --> 00:46:11.619
that slows you down. Then you got to charge it.

00:46:11.619 --> 00:46:14.920
That's another hour. It takes a little while.

00:46:14.980 --> 00:46:20.460
I noticed on the one I did the other day. Superheating

00:46:20.460 --> 00:46:23.820
subcooling it took a long time for that to settle

00:46:23.820 --> 00:46:26.480
down and get to where it looked like I didn't

00:46:26.480 --> 00:46:32.400
need to add anything. Yeah It just takes more

00:46:32.400 --> 00:46:36.480
time than what I'm used to I don't know if it's

00:46:36.480 --> 00:46:38.900
Fractionation happening and it just has to get

00:46:38.900 --> 00:46:41.179
all mixed back up or something I don't know but

00:46:41.179 --> 00:46:45.099
it does take a while it for sure, which is annoying

00:46:47.329 --> 00:46:49.190
Whatchamacallit, what was I gonna say? I haven't

00:46:49.190 --> 00:46:53.670
had to buy any 454 in a while. Is that still

00:46:53.670 --> 00:46:56.130
an issue? Is it still expensive? It's still expensive.

00:46:56.130 --> 00:46:58.809
It's just not as expensive. It's still like in

00:46:58.809 --> 00:47:01.630
the $600 range. Oh, okay. It still came down.

00:47:01.730 --> 00:47:05.070
Yeah, last time I got it, it was like $850. I

00:47:05.070 --> 00:47:11.929
wanna say. Yeah. You know, I bought a half a

00:47:11.929 --> 00:47:15.690
pile of 410 at the beginning of the year. Yeah.

00:47:15.739 --> 00:47:18.179
I'm still working on that same half a pallet.

00:47:18.420 --> 00:47:21.880
Yeah, for sure. You'll be you'll be set. I saw

00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.679
um What did I see? It was I went to a carrier

00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:28.940
man. They had a lot in my area. I had to take

00:47:28.940 --> 00:47:32.079
a picture um of some 410a equipment that they

00:47:32.079 --> 00:47:36.000
still had Really? Yeah, dude. It was I mean it

00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:38.460
was up in a hundred I mean I say a lot I mean

00:47:38.460 --> 00:47:41.280
it was hundreds and there might have been a thousand

00:47:41.280 --> 00:47:43.840
skew on there somewhere I was like damn we still

00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.469
at this point. This was probably a within the

00:47:46.469 --> 00:47:52.010
month, within 30 days. I was like, damn, okay.

00:47:54.710 --> 00:47:59.070
