    That’s a nice honest repair! Not trying to sell a new system especially when the customer is probably on a fixed income.

    Did my first ever A/C repair today. Unit stopped running, killed power, tested capacitor, went to supply house with old one, grabbed 2 (to have a spare), installed it, wrote date on it and she fired right up! Saved a lot of $$$. Gained my confidence from you. Thanks NJ

      @StevenTheElder Good advice. But he might have a ECM motor (variable speed) therefore no capacitor. If it’s a PSC motor then yes good preventative maintenance.

    Nice job Stever. Your one of the most honest guys out there. My dad was an auto mechanic who owned his own shop from the 50’s thru most of the 80’s. He was the most honest guy in the world, in a business that rips off customers left & right. I feel your business is the same, and is nice to see honest tradesman out there like yerself. Keep the vids comin, enjoy them!!

    Seeing as how this seems to be a common failure on the older scrolls, it may be a good idea to pop the cap on the compressor and check the terminals at each service. It may have saved the lady a service call.

      @@Theoldchum If the voltage drop was 10% it would have been on fire. To be clear, Its not my intention to imply Steve is a hack. He does a very reasonable level of service for his clients, and they keep coming back. The flipside of being a 'hack' is screwing your clients with dealership style add-ons that just pad the bill and give the client little value for their money.

    I had a similar situation like that, the capacitor was bad and caused the compressor to draw way too much current and a power input wingnut burned up. The hotter the connection the more resistance the more it burned. Thanks for the video, you are one of my favorites!👍

      Fortunately, I stumbled upon a company in my area that is excellent. I had my complete HVAC system replaced this last winter, but when I was running the AC for the first time this summer, I noticed that the name plate on the condnsor stated a max breaker of 25 amps. I'm like, "oh crap" I have 30 amp breakers. So I figured, I would deal with it whenever I need an electrician for another reason. Then I looked at my panel. Yep, they had quietly replaced my 30 amp breakers with 25s.
      They were the only company out of the 3 that were more than willing to relocate my thermostat that was in a small room that had a vent blowing air right at it.
      I believe the neighbors on Nextdoor had clued me off to them.

      Suction line should be insulated from where it exits exterior wall to the condensing unit. You don’t want cool vapor coming back to compressor picking up excess heat.

      I like to crimp it and then solder it. Over time corrosion can set in on a crimped connection while a soldered connection won't corrode as a crimped connection can. Most techs don't take the extra time to do that since the crimped seems to be the standard.
