As an hvac tech I’ve went behind lots of RUclips techs lol. Some can get lucky and have an easy fix they get, others literally replace every part that they can order and call us because it still won’t work, and others call us because they got their wiring wrong and blew up other parts that turned a small repair into a major multi part repair. I’ve seen stuff where I can’t believe the homeowner didn’t kill themselves, anyway I would be careful recommending that homeowners try this stuff themselves because while yes you can get through the repair, the smallest mistake can end up costing them way more money or getting them injured or killed. Ive seen a guy get one wire wrong and sent high voltage to his low voltage circuit which took out his thermostat and every part in the low voltage circuit on his inside and outside unit plus the module in his blower. I definitely don’t agree with the price they gave you but these RUclips videos definitely make hvac companies way more money than it saves its viewers. Not to mention there’s a lot of hvac companies that won’t touch a system that the homeowner messed up because they have no idea what all they may have done and they don’t want to be responsible by being the last one in that unit if the homeowner messed anything else up.
