7 Reasons Why Heat Exchangers Fail
As an experienced technician, I always make sure I inspect the firebox or heat exchanger inside the furnace. The reason why every good technician does this is to make sure the furnace is safely operating to factory specs. The manufacturer would never send out a cracked heat exchanger, so we want to identify to homeowners when we see something like a cracked heat exchanger.

7 Reasons a South Facing Rooms are Hotter Than the Rest of the House

Many homeowners find south facing rooms are hotter than others during the day. This is often due to the orientation of the walls. South-facing walls tend to get warmer than north-facing ones, for example. The same is true for east and west-facing walls, depending on which side of the house the sun is on. This can be a problem for bedrooms, which are located on the south side of the house, as pe...

Is a New AC Worth It? 💵💲How Much You Will Save With A Higher SEER Rating
Переглядів 21 тис.Рік тому
Is a new AC worth it? The average cost of electricity in the summer here in Sacramento, CA, is around $0.247 per kWh. So, between 14 SEER and 20 SEER, you’ll save about 6-7% when you go from 14 to 15 to 16 all the way to 20 SEER. I created a calculator with some formulas that customers can use to play around with these numbers too. Watch this video if you keep trying to find the answer to this ...

Stupid ads... just for money
78 summer and 68 winter
What setting do I use on a multimeter. My blower just stopped working and we have a heat warning all next week and I can't get anyone right now
Yeah that Tempastar you have as a "budget" unit is IDENTICAL, part number for part number, as an equivalent Carrier. There's no reason you work on them more than carrier unless people are smart and bought more of them for less money. Again, identical units.
Which AC system sponsored this video? Find out at the recommendation at the end of the video.
Fuck all this other bullshit. Does it cool my fuckin home
Now techs need a van and a trailer to carry all these different refrigerants it is ridiculous the Bureaucracy of the EPA every two or three years they come up with a new refrigerants and always saying that the new ones are safer than the old ones and at the end techs find out that all of them are the same stupid crap 👎👎👎
Hello , I just have a simple question. Is it ok to store r22 , r410 a in your garage during summer? And where to store it in winter ? Thanks
Mine is sealed in the attic how can I clean it? And how far do you guys travel?
In the last 4 weeks a noise from the AC occurred 2 times and the fan wasn't turning. After the first one I replaced the capacitor. I assume the motor is bad.
Nice video doing a neat job adding the safety switch. Just out of curiosity though why do you prefer to brake the Red wire where it would kill both power to the fan and the thermostat versus the yellow that will only stop the condenser outside and of course it will stop producing condensation while at the same time will allow home owner to run the fan through the thermostat until the technician arrives for the service call. What am I missing in my thinking here?
Ozone depleting dollars from your pocket not the ozone . The ozone is fine its just another scam by carrier ,Lennox , Trane and any other manufacturers out there . Yeah the Public dont know how there going to get screwed over by these companies now .
It sounds like you have really good information that I need, but some of us are either deaf or have neurology issue, and we are not able to hear what you're saying. It would had been great adding "CC."
Hi ,i need2kno if auto is the best
Well done. You gave excellent information!
Wish you practiced in northeast Florida! When you hear a man who knows his profession, it is a comforting to know that your HVAC system will be fixed the correct way! This Master Chief appreciates you!
I have an almost 16 year old Lennox G61V furnace. Some HVAC contractors are advising I replace it along with my new ac. It’s working fine. Are they just trying to scam me? Some people say I could get another 5 to 10 years with this furnace and the ones made today are not as good in terms of quality.
I don't live in California, so those environmentalists can suck it.
There was some tech who came over my house and said my AC was illegal, and I had to "upgrade" to the new AC. I told him my AC was not illegal, just undocumented and that he needs to GTFO of my house and I got a better tech who fixed the system.
No one cares about this shit, just cool my house.
This new refrigerant sounds gay
The OZ layer? Is that even still a thing? The 1980's called and want their fearmongering doomsday back.
Freon is 2.5 times heavier than air it sinks into the ground back it it's natural elements. FREON IS FREON COMBINED BY TWO ELEMENTS. CHANGING NUMBERS IS NOTHING MORE THAN SCAMS.
brand new MARS showed up with oil all over it. 🙄 do I trust it?
my capacitator was not connected to the fan terminal, my ac unit doesn't have a wire to it, is this normal?
$600.00 to replace a Gas Value? Value Cost depending on the unit between $60 and $200 what’s your labor rate per hour?
What are the measurements and brand of the withe tool boxes
meaning on the heat pump no need for Y wire ? only orange O terminal
I'll just add to be sure both sets of coils are clean with a new filter installed before moving forward with anything else.
HOW DO I REMOVE FRONT VENT COVER TO CLEAN IT?
It's easier to study for a Universal card, than to work hundreds of hours in order to pay an HVAC tech.
Ozone schmozone, all a political agenda.
Just put new fan in & Capacitor tested good & now making same Noise & fan not moving
We had a train variable, and it was awesome. Wish I still had it
Hopefully you can get a trane variable or a carrier infinity variable. I’ve been inside homes with variable speed systems and the indoor air comfort is unreal because there are no hot or cold spots. You can crank those down to 68 degrees and still not break the bank with your energy bills.
Assholes that allowed this should be in jail.
For me it depends on the house. Some houses run at 78 during the day andn73 at night nicely while other homes I’ve lived in needs to be at 80 during day and 75 at night or else the ac won’t shut down and take breaks. I would say just keep adjusting until your ac runs efficiently. You don’t want it running none stop
R32 is better
So boring, dude. You made me snooze. Thanks
I gave the maintenance guy a quiz question while he was maintaining mine. Who was President when this AC unit was manufactured. He amazed me by instantly answering with the correct answer. "Ronald Reagan!". LOL. I told him to quiz the office employees on this.
Can you recommend an HONEST contractor in San Jose CA?
Thanks
We just had our furnace and AC replaced. Our home is just under 2300 SF, when he had the old system installed 17 years ago we had an 80K BTU furnace installed along with a 3 tonne AC. Both were way overpowered for our house and the existing size of duct. The last 6 years of the AC's life the coils would freeze, and the furnace blower started to sounds like a jet engine. Bigger isn't always better.
My apartment complex has provided my townhome with a 37 year old barrel unit with a SEER of 8! LOL. I can't even use your calculator as this is below the minimum. Heh.
Zzzzzzzz
My AC was installed in 2005 and since then I had been paying $100 every year for a tunup and coil cleaning. Do you think it worth to pay for this? Or is it a waste of money?
Would you do home warranty work?
Great video! I have a question. So my unit turns on and the fan doesnt move. When i push the fan, it will start. After a short time, the fan will stop. I cant push it to start again. Any advice?
Tempstar, Heil, Day & Night , Comfortmaker…are all the same rebadged ICP systems. How do you have one ranked higher than the other? That’s like saying Carrier is better than Bryant or the American Standard is better than Trane. Interesting information you presented here. Will you do an updated version of this video soon? Additionally to have Daikin at the bottom makes me scratch my head. Wow. It’s your opinion though.
How is Daikin low end and Amana a company they own higher? Daikin is the premium brand of The Daikin Group. That part of your video I didn’t understand. Daikin > Amana > Goodman.
I just replaced my HVAC system. My old carrier unit was still working. It was just shy of 41 years old.
