      Yep I agree, this time Steve I think you might have done more harm than good you definitely don't fix that unit. The pressures did not look good and yes before putting in gas as you call it go look at what you have for an air handler unit? And if that's the problem .
      Don't take the job if you do not want to fix the problem and putting in "gas" didn't fix this problem.

    • @jblyon2
      @jblyon2 2 месяца назад +3

      That's due to the SEER rating. Southwest and southeast required 14 minimum, other parts of the country were only 13. That has now been bumped to 15 and 14, respectively. I believe they can continue to install existing stock of the prior minimum though. I think Steve has installed a few 13 SEER units this year because the supply house still had them in stock, even though the minimum is now 14.

      I have a Goodman; no issues. I do get her regarding that thermostat. Too complex. A simple round Honeywell with the mercury contacts works the best. We had a lux thermostat in an outbuilding that the contact points froze together and the furnace ran the temperature past 100 degrees before the points finally opened. Replaced it with a used Honeywell round and it's been fine.

Don’t let him fool you he goes in gets the customer all worked up when half the jobs are typical easy fixes and then charges them up the ass after he makes sure they are real stressed and worried about how bad and tough of a job it’s going to be to fix.
