We had mouse piss, rat shit, dirty filters, blocked drains, bad contactor and a pair of ugly sandals. Little bit of everything! Thanks Steven.
U did a great job Steve dealing with that guy and fixing the unit !
I like the idea behind that siphon. Pretty cool. But damn, a shop vac would've had that cleared out in 30 seconds. I carry around that one that snaps right on top of a home depot bucket. Works great.
Depends on how much water and size of shop vacuum!
I use the samd wet vac. It's really convenient to carry around.
I have battery operated dewalt shop vac. Only 1 gallon but it does the trick
Carrier AC outside unit compressor and fan not working. I changed the capacitor, which I had done several times before, as it was swollen so probably bad or soon to be bad. Fan started working but not compressor. Watched your video and the part about the "contactor". I realized my system has been very noisy this summer which you mentioned as a symptom. I didn't have another contactor but I did the usual home fix (hit it with a screwdriver, pushed the relay in and out several times). Fired right up! Thank you!!
" these guys did a great job in my basement"
" yeah cool story bro, these filters are garbage"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’ve got 2 nests in my house and am very happy with how it controls the hvac
Good thing he was there to help you. :-)
Love the way you talk to customers! 😂
If there was a double-like button, I would have pressed it just for your dog. Nice video.
Miss Molly is such a good dog.
Steve couldn't wait for the tstat to boot up. He's pushing and twisting! Funny shit
Holy cow. After you solve one issue there is another!
@@Guillotines_For_Globalists yes it is. My wife and i always kid around because we so often hear "is that a whippet?" Im sure you get that too. Such a sweet breed. I take mine to work every day also.
Been putting in Carrier in for 30 years.you have all that room in condenser and they have the contact where it’s hard to wire up.
isn't that the truth. Lets make it hard on the service man.
I loved the way you talked. And the surprise doggie was a delight. Wish you could repair my conked air conditioner lol
You know why that contactor is humming?????;;; you should have told him it's because he doesn't know the words
Har!
Lol good one👍🏻😅
Groooon!
Yayyy, the return of the Gallo Gun...I bought one 2 years ago after seeing it Steve use it. I love it, works great. That mouse poop was no taj mahal momma
I have a drain piece that's like that to that sits in there I ended up putting on the bottom of the three little bolts that you got you can put magnets on it glue some magnets on it and it'll stick right on the pan, that drain will give it the old how you doing Mama right to the pan
I've been retired for almost 3 years. The nest thermostat my friend installed gave me problems with current flow. It was a good thing that he kept to old stat. It was a night no cool call.... With no truck and parts.
Oh my god....these guys have awesome accents! LOL
Embrace the technology!
I use a shop vac to vacuum out the pan. It’s quick and picks up the water and the trash! I agree with your views on the Nest thermostat. They are nothing more than a novelty item. Honeywell is the only way to go!
I like the title not running or cooling. Have you by chance run across a system that was not running but still cooling?
Steve, thanks for the great videos. Wondering what kind of gauges/ app you are using?
Good job Steve. Heating calls will be here before you know it!
Your videos are very helpful. More educational then going to classes. The field is the best training
I am with you on the nest stat, no way here. lol
Hell no they listen to you and record stuff to the internet.
That doesn't sound right at all . Steven to the rescue. He has Gods gift.
Thank you.
Suggestion: get some 10mm by 3mm thick neodymium magnets (they are cheap) and superglue three of them to the bottom of that flange. That will hold down the flange to the steel pan and it won't tip over so easily. Put the magnets between the existing "bumps" so it won't raise the flange, but hold it down to the pan.
Maybe a good topic would be thermostats and what's good and whats bad.
Nova Scotia is a Canadian maritime Province.
Molly gets a job done again. Good girl.
Most folks do not know what Freon is, they think its a coolant, so wrong, Freon is simply a Trade name just like Kleenex or Coca- Cola This system uses R 410A refrigerant, its a azeotropic mixture of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane that is used as a refrigerant in air conditioning applications.
Steve. Make a patent for that little plate. It’s brilliant. I love that supertech-nique
Steve you have to give the thermostat time to boot up (power up). It may update or need to sort things out. If you tap or run the ring around that can mess it up during boot time. I think they fixed that in a firmware update though. Just give them time is all. Cheers.
Also, That condenser unit should be completely silent minus fan noise. That fan motor is bad. Very bad. Why didn't you mention that? I love your channel by the way. Cheers!
That condenser is exactly like mine, but it’s a 2 1/2 ton condenser. The model number had a 30 in it. Mine has a 48 and is a 4 ton unit (12k btu*4=48. Also I don’t understand all the hate on Nest. I’ve had Nest thermostats since 2011 (Gen 1 on my old HVAC and Gen 2 on my heat pump) and they’ve never failed me. It does exactly what I program it to do.
Like all thermostat's, it is just a love or hate thing. Plus lots of folks do not like there stuff on Wi-Fi! The thing I dislike about the Best, it knows your habit from you walking past it, then adjust the set point automatically!!!!
Steve always gets the helicopters
Not sure why you didnt pull the drain off of the primary to begin with...that was a waste of a CO2 cartridge after the P-trap...and time. Shop vac would clear the secondary drain a lot faster. Before you pulled the old contactor, why didnt you check low voltage first? Could have shown you another problem like maybe only getting 12 volts or around about.
Secondary drain pan*
Thank for all videos very helpful 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Steve, what type of system do you have to read the pressures. I really enjoy watching your videos.
That’s the Sporlan app with the Sporlan smart probes
In my area (Cincinnati) Nest has teamed up with the local cable tv/internet company to have their techs install the Nest tstats
Hey Steve, why not just use a shop vac to get the water out of the pan? Seems like I’d save you at least an hour or so 🤷🏻♂️
Looks like miss molly was ready to go to lunch when Steve came back.
lol Money different up there... We are a different people that is for sure lol. Keep up the great work! Much love from Toronto.
I like you guy!! Going to catch a call on same type of unit now. Hope it's one of these small probs
Could a damper board affect a compressor? Client had a dead compressor. But also 2 blue wires hooked up to the furnace then damper board coming from the compressor. We called it dead and are replacing it but i would like some feedback if you have the time pal. Much love from southern California where its 105° all the time
Not sure how the nest stay handle's the emergency heat function. Other stars have switch selection to move into that mode. Check out the manufacturers web site for your answer. As you know, this function is used when the outside temperature condition is below the ability for the heat pump to operate.
Get yourself one of those metal clips from a mechanical pencil and slip the tube down into it where the pencil would normally go then clip it on the side of the pan. Now u can adjust the tube up and down and keep it held in place
Sounds like a Capacitor in the out side unit, similer to my issue a year ago. Unit out side and Thermostat did not work. Replacing that Capacitor fixed it.
What does Molly think of the Nest? I like using the 5 gallon bucket shop vac for the water and the clogged drains. I use the swoosh, too, though. To each their own.
Put a 90 on your drain tool so it doesn’t pull itself over
walt radcliffe or add a magnet
Or both
“I’ll go get the proper one. I guess”😂😂
mice are drinking from the huge water bowl, that thermostat looks like a service call.
Putting in a two-pole when you should have put in a one-pole is that going to cause any problems?
Mr Lavamonier, why do go blades backwards sometimes ? When my ceiling vents dont blow the air right, can I use computer spray to clean them out?
I would stick some magnets on the drain that might help keep it in place. Well Miss Molly would.
mount your drain to a speaker magnet! Would work great
I love your dog 🐶
Those auxiliary drain ports on the pan need to be plugged also, or your primary drain won’t work as well.
Where is that Nova Scotia....Canada ?
Says a man from Massachusetts.
Beautiful.
May not have enough grade to the condensate pipeline. Looks like the condensate line was parallel to the floor.
Good video. Looks like you made SL modification to Ted's suction drain!
Take a drink every time he says contractor!
You mean kawntacktah?
The contractor in the unit was a single pole with a shunt on one side, they do look a lot like two pole contactors
As if he would listen to anyone 😆
You tell him Steve, get rid of your old filters guy!
The air filter was clogged nd it caused the A coil to freeze ,causing pan to fill up
Plus all that gunk in drain caused it to clog
It turned out to be the capacitor Now it works like new.
Hey steven wish you were here up in Canada lol... quick question wanted to know why you disliked the Nest? Much appreciated thank you!
Why don't installers put clean outs on the traps so it's easier to clear a block?
Alot of install guys aren't service tech so they don't think about or even are about how to service the unit.
Just like most service guys can't install systems I always put in a clean out T and don't use those kind of ptraps build your own trap
The OEM part is a single pole for a reason.
Too bad you just replace like for like without regard to correct part!!!
How does that NEST do with defrost, or does it?
If I recall right, the defrost is not controlled by the the thermostat. A sensor and defrost control board does that.
@@johnerway7255
How about emergency heat operation.
The hell with a nest...pro 5000 all the way
Float switch broke the r? Should break 24v going to outdoor unit so nest & indoor unit stays on.
Is his CO2 condensate line blaster something he made from a tire inflator or is that a purchased item?
Search "Galllo Gun" on Google 👍🏻
Steve I was waiting for you to tell this guy don't tell me about Canada Pennies on the dollar just give me my US money Lol. Peace brother and Molly
Is it me or wasn't that a single pole contactor? It had the "shunt" on the right side. And I'd never blow back into the coil.
At least you can always count on DOGS! 🐶👍
Steve where can you find a CO2 clean out blower like the one you used ? that's is a time saver" thanks for all the great video's .
Gallo gun
I bought one too... Try Amazon
Granger sells them also
Lav, thanks for all of your videos!!!
I have a question. A plumber told me that they pour Muriatic Acid (swimming pool cleaner) down PVC Condensate drain lines to eat up all that nasty crud & sediment that builds up in it.
Have you used it?
What are your thoughts on using it for this?
i use vinager or bleach
@@stevenlavimoniere I have been telling customers to use distilled white vinegar. 2 cups, twice each month.
Thanks for your videos & fast response.
I used pool shock, 10% bleach it worked like a charm and cleaned it all out.
I don’t know how people let their filters get so bad. Three months is the longest I go before I change mine.
I'm going to go on a hunch about what's wrong with it ..... I'm only 12 seconds into the video and usually on a no run no cool problem it's a capacitor or burnt contact terminal but I'll watch the video to see if the thing is freezing up or low press besides bad condenser fan
You ever pull one of those AC doors off and find a huge wasp nest?
the relay that controls the reversing valve on my ecobee thermostat went out. these thermostats do go faulty.
@@billybassman21 stupid it should be engineered to last a lifetime atleast. and I talked to ecobee and I think they told me it was a relay but either way... needs to be engineered to last longer. there just burn out toys. but unfortunately i need some of the more advance features they offer.
Actually, it is a 2.5 ton 15 Seer heat pump matched with an 18-36000 btu air handler
Damn steve...get a flipping shop vac...ain't nobody got time for ur prehistoric siphon with 300 foot of hose...and shaming those ppl for having mice....
Good job 👏 Cool 😎 Peace ✌️
It would be nice if he cleaned the floor
not sure that cleared up the drain line...that drain cleaning was very sloppy! you can do better than that..
I would put a couple of mouse traps in the drain pan under the air handler.
What is the digital gauges/app are you using?
We got a chatty lurker today 😉
I have the same exact unit in my house. Carrier 2.5 ton heat pump
Old people don't like those Nest thermostats. One of my retired relatives called me and told me that she wanted a new thermostat and asked my opinion. For some reason, she was convinced that a new thermostat would save her money. I sent her a link to a Honeywell thermostat at Wal-Mart for $16. I told her to "buy that one". She said "OK". I went over to her house and she handed me a $249 Nest thermostat. She told me that everybody online recommended that thermostat. I just shook my head and installed the Nest and left. I went to visit her about three weeks later and saw that there was a new Honeywell thermostat on the wall. She didn't like the Nest so she paid an A/C tech to install the new thermostat. I asked her what happened to the Nest? She said she didn't know what happened to it. I guess the A/C tech got a brand new Nest for free?
And sold it to a yuppie or used it as a wheel chock
Hi steve how u know is 4 tone unit?
my people come from cape breton island just like the old timer. as far out in the atlantic as you can get down east till you hat floats, and freezes.
You should never blow air inside where the evaporator is that's just making a big mess lol
That unit is just like mine except mine is a Comfortmaker 4 ton and heat pump also. I bet that was a 55 / 5 cap. I too have a Nest Thermostat which my son bought me for Christmas a couple of years back. To be honest I was perfectly happy with my Honeywell Wifi stat. Nest is also Wifi so no big difference to me. A big hello to Molly.
Honeywell is in the HVAC business. Take the nest back to where it came from. Keep the honeywell
Nice job
Miss Mollywants a turn at the wheel!
Nice Job Steve that pan was a shit show for real!
Put a magnet on your drain see if that works
I just get some pex and hook it to my shop vac and call it a day.
