HVACR VIDEOS

HVACR VIDEOS is run by Chris, a refrigeration and air conditioning technician who says he has worked in the trade for over 20 years. He is based in Southern California and mainly works on restaurant equipment.

The videos follow real jobs from arrival to repair. Chris works on air conditioning units, walk in coolers and refrigeration systems, explaining what he measures and why. Many episodes are long and unscripted, so you see the whole process of finding a fault, including the dead ends. The titles are loud, but the content is steady and practical. He talks through his thinking out loud, which makes the diagnosis easy to follow even without trade knowledge.

Some highlights include:

A service call where four expansion valves turn out to be faulty, and how the problem is traced.

A long job hunting down refrigerant leaks across a system.

A visit where all five dining room air conditioning units have stopped working at once.

The channel has around 210,000 subscribers.

Most of engineering is finding out why something is not working. This channel shows that fault finding clearly, in a real job with real pressure to fix it. It connects to refrigeration and air conditioning engineering and building services more broadly, which are well paid technical careers with apprenticeship routes in the UK. Standards and equipment differ from the UK, so it is best watched for the method rather than the details.
