The new york conversation style is so funny, the new yorkers don't even care but if I talked to my customers like that in Colorado they would think I'm a rude asshole
I see comments on this channel with people all like "my goodness you are so rude!" And "if you talked like that to me I'd never have you work for me again!" You can tell there are alot of non New Yorkers watching
The filters aren't there to help you breathe better, they are there to keep the furnace/AC clean. You don't need the filters that filter allergens because your furnace/AC doesn't have allergies. If your furnace starts sneezing during pollen season you have bigger problems.
I can't tell you how many times I've heard, "Why do they sell them then". Client puts flushable wipes down the toilet and the toilet clogs. He wants to argue with me tell me that it says flushable. I tell him that I can flush his cat down the toilet doesn't mean I should. Well he didn't like that and hasn't called me back yet.
@@mannys9130 Thanks for that great advice about various new products! I had been considering one of those lifetime auto air filters. Crap: just as I suspected. I take care of my neighbor`s second home. It has a spin-down filter due to the sediment in their well water. It also has a shark bite fitting at the filter bowl base to allow removal of a 3` long PVC pipe used to flush the filter. The pipe must be removed in order to unscrew the bowl for cleaning when it eventually clogs. I noticed that the shark bite is already tending to leak a few years after it was installed. I agree about that Drano. People have been injured by it. A girl I used to date had a plumber come to her rental unit shower. The drain was clogged. He told her that someone before her had used Drano to the point that it had left a concrete-like mass in the pipe. He had to re-pipe it. As far as pets go. I know people that care more about their pets than they do their spouses, and treat them better!
i am a big fan of anti-diy, ted cook, however, steve lav is next level momma. we get top notch hvac, plumbing, working man style chow, awesome sidekik-miss molly. i am a new tech, went on my first job, alone, on the weekend, steves vids were essential for my diagnosis and getting the system running and the customer happy, thx again steve.
Steve is drilling the homeowner to buy Merv 4 filters for his system. He did good work. He is honest. AC techs around me does opposite... kept mouth shut like it's some trade secrets and keeps customers clueless.
Greetings from Baltimore...Steve gives the best advice I ever heard from a field technician...amazing guy just wish I could have learned first hand from a guy like this
I’m a recently retired H.V.A.C. tech and I enjoy the way you handle problems. Telling the truth and not BS the customer. We need more people like you. Keep up the good work. Your like a younger me doing the work.
He didn't like the you stepping on his flowers so he got someone else. The other guy screwed it up and now he wants someone who can fix it So he called you.. Typical. He talks too much. He is not listening to Steve.
this time next year these units will be grown in with these flipping shrubs he put in front .. guy does not lea son to what i say he wants to hide the units so no one can see them .. he is stuck on stupid
I've been running Merv 10 on my little 2 ton unit for years I have bad allergies they help quite a hit with air quality. I haven't had an issue running then but I also have a large return my return is large enough to run a 5 ton system so that probably makes up for the filter. The return grill is mounted to a box box goes directly into the furnace so the return opening is essential the size if the furnace. Let me tell you the unit freezes 🥶 you out it will maintain 68 in 100 degrees out. I have a new icp system matched with the original rheem furnace. My electric bills stay low too.
I once lived in a neighborhood with a lady would was just like this guy. She did thought that the condenser on the side of her house looked ugly, so she paid a lot of money for a professional landscaping company to plant scrubs around the condenser. As a good neighbor, I politely suggested to her and her husband the scrubs were too close to the condenser and should at least be 3 feet away from all directions. Instead the scrubs were within 2-3 inches of the condenser on 3 sides. When I gave her the suggestion, she gave me the evil eye and did not speak to me for weeks. Come summer time, HVAC repair technicians came by her house several times that summer before the HVAC was "broken". 3 months later, she paid the same professional landscaping company a lot of money to move the scrubs further away from the condenser, but she still gave me the evil eye when I drove past her house.
@@TexasBuyer2001 - you give valuable free advise and in return see how you are treated? Nothing wrong with her saying, “thanks but not thanks”. I found myself in same situation, had to change my ways - was not easy for me. I always respected those smarter than me and helpful, that’s how I learned myself. Now I look the other way, and have to catch my tongue at times still.
if she would of done the landscaping right the first time she wouldn't be spending more trying to fix the problem where she should of thank you when you gave her good advice
Hey Steve. I had a worker accidentally short out the condensate pump on a Trane AC trying to clean the drain line and it blew a small 5 Amp fuse and shut the unit down. I figured out what the issue was and fixed it. I wouldn't have been able to do that without your videos. Thanks.
Moved by the super low bidder and just stuck them in the muck and left them,as long as they started he left and when you call him back, they're out of business, now the expert is here and will tell you exactly what is wrong and how much to fix it correctly, plus he'll tell them to have them put under some blocks to raise them off the ground and then clean it with the hose and make it clean
I am retired now, when I was working, the first step was to check the filter. Second was to sure that the indoor fan was running. I always used to tell customers that what I see inside, dictates what the gages say outside.
When you call somebody over to look at something, he should be looking at something he understands. If you just tell him that the suction pressure is low and the superheat is high, he is not going to understand a thing.
Some AC guys will tell you to run the lowest of low filters so they can get away with tiny returns. Living the the desert for decades I found the coils got crazy dirty because of the lack of humidity. They just never washed off. So this nasty fine dust would coat them and coat them and the tiny bit of water that they saw would turn it into cement. I ran MERV 8 in the desert, but I also had a ton of return air. Running MERV 4 now in the humidity of the south.
The filter explanation is simple: The filter is there to protect the coil from clogging, not to protect you. The system isn't designed nor intended to be a house-wide air filter.
$17! they saw you comin! Lol i love this channel. I pay attention to condensers now. See a lot of them around here buried in flowers and sitting on dirt. Makes me shake my head.
Good thing you said to use cheap filter, they let more air flow through the system. I have seen people with expensive pleated filters freeze up their system.
Steve. You know what your doing, and I appreciate that. But I cringe when you throw the techie stuff @ the customer. I'd tell the customer that even though he's trying real hard to have clean filtered air circulating, he's not understanding that he is restricting the airflow big time. Tell him what he thinks would happen to his car engine if he covered up the radiator with cardboard and drove on the highway in summer heat. That's what the AC unit is experiencing, but opposite way. Not enough air flow to take the cold out of the coil in the furnace and it can ice up and damage the system, like car engine overheating and burning up. I am not in the business, and still trying to sort out superheat/subcooling myself! LOL. I try to use analogies when explaining technical stuff to layman.
I used the "cotton candy" style filters for 19 years on my unit. Changed every 6 months to a year depending on when I remembered to do it. Paid .99 cents for each. Replaced my Furnace/AC last year and inspected the coil and blower and guess what? PERFECT condition. Absolutely clean on both. These companies figured a way to go from .99 to 15.00 with some clever advertising about how "dirty" your air is. What a joke.
Doubt any of Steve’s filter advice will actually happen with this guy. A lot of wasted words on this customer. But made for an interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
Never could figure out the need to have plants or landscaping jammed right against the condenser. And letting it sit on bare soil like this guy? That seems like a a REALLY bad idea.
Hi Steve, been watching you since before 5000. Great stuff, I learned how to pan in a furnace watching your videos, went from 14 to 30 an hour. Shit I should send you some money, this is free video right. Hmmm, I am thinking. LOL.
I’m an installer and I was training to be a service tech and my co worker was teaching me . We went to a house and the unit was low on Freon and I told the home owner it’s low on Freon and my co worker got mad and said we don’t use the term Freon we say refrigerant . I quit the next day got tired of the smart ass remarks all the time
Kayla Cox I hate arrogant people. One job I had everyone higher up than a technician (even some technicians) looked upon themselves as members of an elite group. They would say things like "You're not asking for help are you?!" or "I'm not doing it for you!" I'd say "I didn't ask you to do it for me so stfu!" Finally the arrogant prick "Business Unit Vice President " laid me off after I earned my associate degree that they paid for. Last I heard that "Business Unit Vice President" got canned himself😆
Co Worker is right because Freon is a product name, not a gas or refrigerant. It's better to stick with industry terms to keep things clear but yes, most folks will understand what you meant.
I once asked a technician where the capacitor was in my Carrier evaporator fan blower motor. He told me that "these new [5-6 year old] Carriers don't have capacitors in the evaporator blower motor." That was the last time that I would be calling that technician again.
I really like watching your stuff. Oil is less common in Oregon, but always considered if move outside of gas. Gas furnace is easy to maintain, do that myself, unless something outside of my knowledge. I fear my 97% system, will it fail like the POS York had before? Time will tell. The main reason I go high-end, my wife is from Europe, and if I go high efficiency, no complaints on the thermostat. Sell to cheap to not run.
Also went for 5 stage AC compressor. Runs all the time on a warm day, but finally humidity is under control. We have allergies, so don’t open windows when others do. Love electronic filter with extra media. We were great during the last wildfire season when everyone else suffered. Sucks $60 year to change the auxiliary filter myself, but worth it for clean air.
The green people want me to give up gas, but it’s far cheaper than electric, and I pay too much for that to heat shop and garage. Actually more than heating the house! Thinking of doing DIY Mr Cool units. Don’t need the AC, but cheaper heat.
This guy probably goes to the doctor and gets told to watch your cholesterol and take this medication. Then goes home and does the opposite and thinks he’ll be fine. You just can’t reach some people.
The installer never should have included a filter for the upstairs HVAC unit in the basement when using filtered returns in the living space. At least they did okay by using two returns upstairs vs. 1 in the hallway as long as the bedroom doors are ajar. They might have faired better with a third one at the top of the stairway to allow added coverage when the bedroom doors might be closed. I agree, use the standrd filters...the rest is nonsense because the main focus with filters is to protect the inside blower wheel and HVAC ducting, not improve air quality for humans.
Truck loaded with quality capacitors and contractors 👍. Most of these crooks out here would have told you that your motor and capacitor was fried. Put in an overpriced cheap motor and cap. Then added your good motor to their parts stock.
Homeowners, pay for a nice unit and then try to hide it behind shrubs and fencing. Then bitch at the service tech because it's not performing. Customer calls on a 95 degree day, unit not doing well in this weather. He's built a privacy fence 5 foot tall and 3 inches from the unit. Fuckin genius.
It's amazing how David Copperfield installs air conditioning?🤔 I sure would like to meet him one day I'm over here fixing his junk ! You are definitely better then me, my price for someone like that would be off the charts. Pay me now or pay me later! 😐🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🍇🏌 Stay safe. Retired(werk'n) keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.
Why would anybody move condenser units on top of dirt and not put some cement or pavers or the plastic platform? Not very bright thinking there and the owner of the house should not allowed that not very knowledgeable.
Goodmans are a low priced unit you normally only see them in landlord properties or cheap new construction. Trane is a much higher quality but they do cost more
@@michelgrenier1878 lmao cmon now. A Trane is a undoubtedly a better unit than a Goodman. Literally Goodman is one of the 3 worst brands. Stay away from York, maytag and Goodman. All 3 of those brands are absolutely junk. Coming from a HVAC tech who’s worked on many brands. I run into more Goodman newer unit issues than any other brand. Going behind other company’s with 5-6 year old units leaking, or bad compressors Lol. Absolutely terrible units. I recommend Lennox / Armstrong air , Carrier /Bryant / ICP(tempstar), and Trane / American standard. All 3 of those trees are good brands with good warranty’s and good stuff. Stay away from builder grade entry level stuff. Shit don’t last anymore.
Freon has just become a general word for refrigerant it seems. Technically it's incorrect to say that but i stopped trying to correct people about it. Lol
I always warn the customer that the motor may die soon when i find a dead cap like that and the motor is hot. I give them the option to change the motor or just see what happens. Most of the time the customer never maintains there equipment in that situation so i give them the heads up so there not calling me in 2 days saying its not working again like its my fault. I put that ball in there court lol.
he was pissed at me last time i was there killing all his plants and shrubs he had cloaked the ac units . it was like a jungle said he did that to hide them lol i was stopping and killing the flowers lol

Merch idea: T-shirt with Steve holding up a filter, saying "You've gotta run the cheap filters".
I would seriously buy this
It's all about the numba 4 lol
Home owners love wasting money on filters that they'll just throw away in 2 months.
What a hack job relocating those condensers. Calling in the big guns!
Skilled labor is not cheap/Cheap labor is not skilled The old school guy.

Not all air filters work for all air handlers...that’s the misinformation of the marketing. 🤑Better to buy cheaper filter but changing them often.
150k subs momma!
I never quit learning from you, many thanks !!
My philosophy about filters is they are to protect the evaporator coil and not to purify the air in your house.
I agree. There’s a reason the air going through the filters is called supply air
This home owner is really funny. Filters are everywhere ! That makes me laugh .
$17! they saw you comin! Lol i love this channel. I pay attention to condensers now. See a lot of them around here buried in flowers and sitting on dirt. Makes me shake my head.

You were busy that day, I've watched several videos the last couple days from the 27th
Hey Steve . What brand is your yellow handle tongue and groove/ water pump pliers?
FPR 4 has the green circle with the number 4 inside, which is MERV 8.
Removing those filters probably doubled the capacity
For best results use this type of filter. Sticker is better who reads the manual
gotta keep changing filters every 2 or 3 months. 1 filter is all you need for better air flow. putting more than one filter you'll suffocate the unit.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Great vid Steve, always learn something watching you work, thanks! 👍👍.
Molly sure loves that ocean air
You're having fun! So am I.
Splitting headache ,filter filter ilter how many filters
Lucky it was not an ECM motor. A lot of older systems have airflow , return air under sized. From outside Philly.

He luvs his filters for sure 😁.
I use merv 2 filter, found out using the expensive filters,locked out my furnace because it restricted the air flow
Just switched from the HVAC company supplied Merv 10 to Lowes Merv 5. It's like I have new equipment. 🤣
I once asked a technician where the capacitor was in my Carrier evaporator fan blower motor. He told me that "these new [5-6 year old] Carriers don't have capacitors in the evaporator blower motor." That was the last time that I would be calling that technician again.
that could be true if it uses a ECM motor as ECM motors dont have run caps like PSC motors do.
I have a PSC motor since the system is only 1 speed and 1 stage

Screaming for air
Instead of saying "to thick" maybe telling him they're "to dense" he may get the meaning, but then again....
They are too restrice because of their dense filter materials. The more dense, the more restrictive which is bad.

Why would anybody move condenser units on top of dirt and not put some cement or pavers or the plastic platform?
Not very bright thinking there and the owner of the house should not allowed that not very knowledgeable.
The home owner seemed totally confused about which filters to use......
Round and round we go! Lol
It will shock you!!!!! Did I forget to say "CLEAR"!!!!!!
How come I hear the guy say there is no air when you're outside?
Sell snow legs and jack those puppy's up lol
Good golly miss molly 😆
"It's a buncha bullsh*t, guy" lol
Are Goodman units junk? I need to replace my old 1995 Trane 1000's central air units and need any advice of what brand to buy. Both are 4 ton units.
Trane units are junk , Goodman are a big step-up .
Goodmans are a low priced unit you normally only see them in landlord properties or cheap new construction. Trane is a much higher quality but they do cost more
Nothing wrong with Goodman , my furnace and AC have been trouble free going on 9 years.
Make sure if you need units that big , 4 ton is a lot.
@@michelgrenier1878 lmao cmon now. A Trane is a undoubtedly a better unit than a Goodman. Literally Goodman is one of the 3 worst brands. Stay away from York, maytag and Goodman. All 3 of those brands are absolutely junk. Coming from a HVAC tech who’s worked on many brands. I run into more Goodman newer unit issues than any other brand. Going behind other company’s with 5-6 year old units leaking, or bad compressors Lol. Absolutely terrible units. I recommend Lennox / Armstrong air , Carrier /Bryant / ICP(tempstar), and Trane / American standard. All 3 of those trees are good brands with good warranty’s and good stuff. Stay away from builder grade entry level stuff. Shit don’t last anymore.
Thanks for the replies! ANY THOUGHTS ON "MR. Cool units. I thought of putting a diy split unit in my little woodshop.
Hey are your KNEES BAD ! Steve :: nope are your knees bad??? 😂
I had some guys working on my furnace today, said I was no helicopter and walked away. I have my own work to do.
As a fellow hvac tech please stop calling it “freon” its refrigerant lol
Freon has just become a general word for refrigerant it seems. Technically it's incorrect to say that but i stopped trying to correct people about it. Lol
I always warn the customer that the motor may die soon when i find a dead cap like that and the motor is hot. I give them the option to change the motor or just see what happens. Most of the time the customer never maintains there equipment in that situation so i give them the heads up so there not calling me in 2 days saying its not working again like its my fault. I put that ball in there court lol.
My filter costs $22 but my filter is 4 inches thick. It's a bigger filter
Why didn’t they call you to move them Steve?
he was pissed at me last time i was there killing all his plants and shrubs he had cloaked the ac units . it was like a jungle said he did that to hide them lol i was stopping and killing the flowers lol
@@stevenlavimoniere I tell them I either work on your unit and step on your plants or you can have no AC.
Hey forget about it
Fishing line was to hold up his flowers lol
I love the dog, hate people!
How could he not know the air handler fan was not working?
1000 FLOWERS 🌸!!!!!!!!!!! Lol 😆
Some people are just stupid like you said those air conditioners should be a pad
Why don’t your gauges reflect the saturation temperature in the a coil?
Those Sporlan gauges just don't offer that feature. I have those and the fieldpiece.
