so what on it was replaced again the
00:00:12.900 00:00:12.910 pressure relief valve and the pressure
00:00:14.940 00:00:14.950 release valve and the gauge that thing
00:00:18.540 00:00:18.550 yeah
00:00:19.170 00:00:19.180 this year last year these were replaced
00:00:21.800 00:00:21.810 upstairs downstairs and then downstairs
00:00:24.030 00:00:24.040 upstairs and it was installed so it was
00:00:26.999 00:00:27.009 it installed correctly when the house
00:00:28.170 00:00:28.180 was brand new so long no or that's what
00:00:32.249 00:00:32.259 I said it was installed in Karachi yeah
00:00:33.420 00:00:33.430 so it was that way from the time it was
00:00:35.069 00:00:35.079 new yep and it worked fine it was just
00:00:37.139 00:00:37.149 inefficient yeah
00:00:38.690 00:00:38.700 expansion tanks new gonna get a video of
00:00:41.430 00:00:41.440 this thing firing up momentarily this is
00:00:46.290 00:00:46.300 the 1969 American Standard gas boiler at
00:00:50.880 00:00:50.890 my friend's house one of my last
00:00:53.819 00:00:53.829 opportunities to get a video of this
00:00:55.889 00:00:55.899 boiler because the house has been sold
00:00:58.200 00:00:58.210 they're moving out next month so yeah
00:01:02.819 00:01:02.829 pretty much last chance to get a video
00:01:05.400 00:01:05.410 of it running in heat mode because it's
00:01:07.830 00:01:07.840 probably gonna be too warm the next time
00:01:09.149 00:01:09.159 I come here
00:01:19.640 00:01:19.650 I am hauling a dresser for a friend of
00:01:23.870 00:01:23.880 mine I think this might be the biggest
00:01:27.260 00:01:27.270 thing I've ever hauled with this truck
00:01:38.200 00:01:38.210 and it's not going to be running exactly
00:01:44.800 00:01:44.810 it's not warming up to ten on the
00:01:46.820 00:01:46.830 central air but here's one last video of
00:01:49.970 00:01:49.980 the central air 2008 carrier straight
00:02:00.620 00:02:00.630 cool unit copeland scroll compressor
00:02:29.100 00:02:29.110 swimming pool and then there's a Trane
00:02:33.640 00:02:33.650 heat pump at the house next door I think
00:02:36.760 00:02:36.770 it's a heat pump it's now lit up on legs
00:02:38.410 00:02:38.420 but it might just be sharp window unit
00:02:55.420 00:02:55.430 for the first floor they were going to
00:02:59.440 00:02:59.450 install a couple street cooled ductless
00:03:02.740 00:03:02.750 mini-split on the first floor but
00:03:04.420 00:03:04.430 someone wound up buying the house and
00:03:06.009 00:03:06.019 they didn't need to do that so again it
00:03:11.770 00:03:11.780 just has central air on the second floor
00:03:14.550 00:03:14.560 it is beautiful today
00:03:27.760 00:03:27.770 and again I'm pretty sure this a two and
00:03:30.470 00:03:30.480 a half ton don't know for sure though
00:03:49.770 00:03:49.780 hello there there there you always do
00:04:20.530 00:04:20.540 something YouTube worthy there how old's
00:04:31.450 00:04:31.460 your like 395 m
00:04:48.160 00:04:48.170 he weighs 125 pounds mommy
00:04:53.350 00:04:53.360 40 you don't wait 140 he weighs a
00:05:08.090 00:05:08.100 hundred and forty I thought it was 125
00:05:17.160 00:05:17.170 here is the thermostat for the heating
00:05:20.410 00:05:20.420 system in my friend's house it is a heat
00:05:24.370 00:05:24.380 and cool thermostat but it is only wired
00:05:28.630 00:05:28.640 to the boiler the air-conditioner has
00:05:30.370 00:05:30.380 its own separate thermostat so this is
00:05:34.090 00:05:34.100 basically a straight cool unit and heat
00:05:37.690 00:05:37.700 combination thermostat so oil heat or
00:05:43.450 00:05:43.460 gas heat or even electric heat matched
00:05:45.700 00:05:45.710 up with a street cool air conditioner if
00:05:47.440 00:05:47.450 we're a heat pump and have e/m heat on
00:05:52.390 00:05:52.400 it or ox seat or both
00:05:59.040 00:05:59.050 alright see that is the thermostat let's
00:06:04.330 00:06:04.340 see if we can make it I know it's funny
00:06:11.350 00:06:11.360 it says change filter but a hot water
00:06:14.680 00:06:14.690 boiler system doesn't require a filter
00:06:18.930 00:06:18.940 it says that it says you need your
00:06:23.830 00:06:23.840 filter change but hot water hydronic
00:06:25.990 00:06:26.000 heating systems don't need a filter
00:06:29.520 00:06:29.530 because it's a thermostat that's set up
00:06:32.200 00:06:32.210 for a forced air system and the stay
00:06:39.940 00:06:39.950 light savings daylight savings time has
00:06:42.010 00:06:42.020 just begun and it's about now or behind
00:06:47.670 00:06:47.680 alright I will film the heat pump or the
00:06:53.680 00:06:53.690 heat but the boiler momentarily got a
00:06:56.800 00:06:56.810 lot of other stuff to do I'll be back
00:07:05.210 00:07:05.220 bear really wants to go for a ride in
00:07:07.740 00:07:07.750 the truck there would take up the whole
00:07:21.000 00:07:21.010 bed of the truck it's like that old
00:07:31.110 00:07:31.120 Nissan Frontier commercial from like
00:07:33.350 00:07:33.360 bags love trucks except it to Tacoma
00:07:38.250 00:07:38.260 instead of a Aneesa
00:07:53.180 00:07:53.190 it's funny because I wanted to get a
00:07:55.409 00:07:55.419 video of the boiler today because it was
00:07:57.750 00:07:57.760 rather chilly this morning and then it
00:08:00.930 00:08:00.940 really really warmed up it's like homes
00:08:02.490 00:08:02.500 warm enough to have the air conditioning
00:08:05.340 00:08:05.350 on see if we can get this to fire up
00:08:09.300 00:08:09.310 because the next time I probably get it
00:08:10.920 00:08:10.930 I'm probably going to be able to come
00:08:12.120 00:08:12.130 come to this house it's gonna be to haul
00:08:16.770 00:08:16.780 my friends a band equipment and I'm
00:08:19.590 00:08:19.600 gonna have to come here really early and
00:08:21.080 00:08:21.090 move fast and get out fast
00:08:23.670 00:08:23.680 bear bear come here there's no way this
00:08:32.100 00:08:32.110 thing could be on
00:08:51.050 00:08:51.060 I can't tell it's making noise but it's
00:08:54.800 00:08:54.810 not that noisy it's warming up so does
00:09:02.840 00:09:02.850 it make a lot of noise when trimming I
00:09:07.150 00:09:07.160 think it just has to kick in because
00:09:09.470 00:09:09.480 it's you know not that hot athelets up
00:09:12.440 00:09:12.450 like that has nothing to do with it
00:09:29.420 00:09:29.430 yeah there it is
00:09:34.200 00:09:34.210 wish I could see the actual burner
00:09:36.030 00:09:36.040 inside
00:09:44.660 00:09:44.670 so there are the burners in the boiler
00:09:47.220 00:09:47.230 and I don't know what the efficiency of
00:09:51.090 00:09:51.100 this thing is probably since it's from
00:09:53.430 00:09:53.440 like 1969 about I don't know 60 or 70%
00:10:06.150 00:10:06.160 it is like almost 60 degrees outside and
00:10:08.900 00:10:08.910 running the heat for a video
00:10:17.230 00:10:17.240 I'm like leaning sideways on the floor
00:10:40.050 00:10:40.060 my friend is gonna turn it off and then
00:10:42.119 00:10:42.129 I turn it back on so we can see the
00:10:44.490 00:10:44.500 flames at night and this might be direct
00:10:49.949 00:10:49.959 spark or I don't know
00:10:55.100 00:10:55.110 I don't know if this is direct spark or
00:10:56.990 00:10:57.000 hot surface ignition
00:11:05.450 00:11:05.460 so yeah basically the way this works is
00:11:08.950 00:11:08.960 the boiler heats up the water then
00:11:11.750 00:11:11.760 there's a bunch of baseboard heaters
00:11:13.820 00:11:13.830 with copper piping in a minute keeps in
00:11:16.040 00:11:16.050 the hot water gets piped through the
00:11:18.070 00:11:18.080 copper pipes and that's what warms the
00:11:20.450 00:11:20.460 house it's much better for stair eight
00:11:22.310 00:11:22.320 in my opinion
00:11:28.390 00:11:28.400 and I don't want to turn off the camera
00:11:30.220 00:11:30.230 because I know when soon as I do that
00:11:32.829 00:11:32.839 I'm gonna miss it shutting off oh there
00:11:35.740 00:11:35.750 we go
00:11:36.040 00:11:36.050 I think they're just like glowed really
00:11:38.860 00:11:38.870 bright orange
00:11:50.910 00:11:50.920 didn't shut off
00:11:53.420 00:11:53.430 okay
00:11:57.340 00:11:57.350 salt
00:11:59.360 00:11:59.370 and now the flames like alternating
00:12:01.190 00:12:01.200 between glowing like really brought
00:12:02.540 00:12:02.550 bright orange going back to blue
00:12:07.650 00:12:07.660 there hey bear no don't come here here
00:12:12.240 00:12:12.250 don't burn yourself there it goes
00:12:14.160 00:12:14.170 all right it's off
00:12:28.150 00:12:28.160 now we just got to wait for it to turn
00:12:29.680 00:12:29.690 back Don
00:12:33.250 00:12:33.260 so yeah these are the guts of a 43
00:12:38.770 00:12:38.780 year-old high gas hydronic boiler
00:12:45.950 00:12:45.960 gph hydronic gas heating American
00:12:50.700 00:12:50.710 Standard plumbing and heating division
00:13:06.030 00:13:06.040 I have so many videos top-load
00:13:18.120 00:13:18.130 you
00:13:28.370 00:13:28.380 okay this is like take three trying to
00:13:31.050 00:13:31.060 get the boiler to turn on and when
00:13:35.790 00:13:35.800 there's like the sound of water going
00:13:37.140 00:13:37.150 through it that's what it did when we
00:13:39.510 00:13:39.520 turn it on the first time
00:13:43.230 00:13:43.240 so I think it's about ready to kick on
00:13:56.770 00:13:56.780 there we go
00:14:08.580 00:14:08.590 so yeah that is the boiler 1969 American
00:14:12.720 00:14:12.730 Standard
00:14:16.180 00:14:16.190 gph hydronic gas heating and there's all
00:14:21.079 00:14:21.089 the guts
00:14:26.340 00:14:26.350 blue pipe
00:14:29.500 00:14:29.510 whirlpool gas hot water gas water heater
00:14:32.320 00:14:32.330 I don't know why I keep calling a hot
00:14:35.110 00:14:35.120 water heater just a water eater
00:14:41.050 00:14:41.060 all right I think we are going to kill
00:14:43.420 00:14:43.430 it
00:14:58.280 00:14:58.290 alright time to shut off
00:15:31.360 00:15:31.370 1969 American Standard gph hydronic gas
00:15:36.200 00:15:36.210 heater aka the Sherman tank as my HVAC
00:15:43.400 00:15:43.410 instructor referred to it when I told
00:15:46.280 00:15:46.290 him about it and it just shut off
00:15:49.610 00:15:49.620 alright let's go get a video of the
00:15:51.170 00:15:51.180 central air running the last hurrah of
00:15:53.690 00:15:53.700 this house
00:15:59.220 00:15:59.230 my friend's mother does not want me to
00:16:02.320 00:16:02.330 turn the central air on because she's
00:16:05.170 00:16:05.180 kind of cold but I'm still able to make
00:16:07.690 00:16:07.700 a video of the thermostat I don't think
00:16:09.160 00:16:09.170 I've gotten a video of a thermostat
00:16:10.600 00:16:10.610 before that's it right there it's turned
00:16:15.040 00:16:15.050 off so I yeah there's the thermostat
00:16:18.970 00:16:18.980 just a basic Honeywell digital non
00:16:21.940 00:16:21.950 programmable thermostat it's like a
00:16:23.530 00:16:23.540 miniaturized version of my grandmother's
00:16:25.650 00:16:25.660 focus bro and there's the air filter the
00:16:33.460 00:16:33.470 air handlers up in the attic of the
00:16:35.140 00:16:35.150 house all right yeah that's the UM
00:16:48.300 00:16:48.310 that's the thermostat thank you for
00:16:54.790 00:16:54.800 watching I hope you enjoyed the video
00:16:57.240 00:16:57.250 out
00:17:04.000 00:17:04.010 this is my friends other dogs Skippy
