Just had to rewire mine. I decided to use Wagos' and was soo happy I did. I used a 3-spot. first spot is from air handler, middle spot is dome condenser, and last spot is from thermostat. some us spots 1,2, and 3, some 1,2, some 2,3, etc. I even put them in holders and mounted to small board in the attic. SOOOO easy to see, test, and know what goes where. I can also easily swap a wire color later if I get a bad wire. Super simple and easy to see what I did. Small piece of paper on the board explaining the pattern and which Wago is for what service, and now the next homeowner owes me a beer 😁
You make pulling the wire look easy. The biggest issue for me is that I do not want to go into the crawl space under my house. That’s the scariest looking place ever for me! 😂
Tad, this is an excellent video. I have been watching and learning for a few months from your vids and the last I recall you had sent me a long and positive reply when I said that this one video you made scared me 😅 because I'm in hvac school and everything is so confusing. But now I'm less than three months from graduating and will be taking my EPA test in November. I continue to overthink things though. Is this too difficult for me? Can I do this? And the question that continues to run through my mind is: I am 58, am I too old for this and will they not hire me because my age. Even though in 10 months of hvac school I have only missed out three days and dedicate myself to learning hvac, I still Q myself. Sometimes I get a little wakeup call, so to speak, that I'm really finally doing this. I don't ever expect to be great. Or nearly as knowledgeable as you Tad, you are an exceptional talent, but at least I can be happy knowing someone hired me and I'm learning. Your videos, just as this one VERY detailed and informative video gives me hope and I thank you for taking so much time to do them. You take great pride in your work. I can see that. Apologies for my long message in advance. Fingers crossed I pass the EPA test next month. Ty again for this outstanding video. -Juan Carlos
My brother you are not too old to do this. There are many different opportunities in the field that you can focus on and you can be great at. You are going to ace the test I really appreciate you watching my videos. I strongly encourage you to join and be a level 3 member so you can have access to all of my training courses. Those courses will take you to the next level of knowledge and give you the understanding of what tools. You need and what you can do to own your own? Company And get customers and what to charge the customers. Thank you for your support I'm gonna keep the videos coming
For the sov operations the manual showed “[with Cool], with Heat”. And at the top of manual showed “[AC] , HP”. Meaning the “[AC]” applies toward “Cool” and the “HP”applies to the “Heat”? So shouldn’t the sov be set for Heat and not cool since it was a HP? Or is the sov (switch over valve) based off over if the hp energizes in heating or cooling? And this varies by brand. Most brands except Rheem/Ruud energize sov for cooling. So if that’s the case then I answered my own question but still confused as to why you selected Cooling instead of Heating based off what the manual stated.
Question. I got a customer that whenever they make a call for cooling the tstat goes blank comes back goes into delay and tries again and process repeats. Blank etc.. Doesn't do it for fan or heat.
Well it sounds like there could be a short or a bad thermostat. I would check the pressure switch wires if you have some and then I would check the contact or coil. Let me know if you figure it out
I'm responsible for 3 forced air furnaces that all have 2 conductor thermostat wires. So all the thermostats have batteries, and I'm probably not taking advantage of the 2 stage heat that 2 of the units have.
I don't get it. You showed us the hard way to do the easy part. I don't need help pulling t-stat wire through a frickin crawl space. Just cut it and wire nut in a splice. I want to know how to replace the stuff in the wall the installers stapled down.
If I tie up the wires up from the inside of the house would i be able to pull it through to the outside? I probably wouldn't be able to get under the house..
My indoor unit is right beside the outdoor unit.. So hopefully it isn't stapled.. That's a long crawl 😂 with just enough space to get you in, maybe.. 🤣

You know what's crazy taddy? Anytime I look something up hvac related on RUclips I always find a video of you showing me how. 😂 Thanks!
As an apprentice that has to pull stat wire tmr this helped tremendously, thank you!!
You're so welcome my brother
Great Video. 💯 These troubleshoot and fix videos, are just OUTSTANDING!!! 🔥 Keep them coming. 🤙
More to come!
Great job!! Great video! I use wagos instead of wire nuts
I love wagos they are great

This was a american standard unit which energizes in cooling
Will the same test work for ac as well, to check the t-stat.
yes
Thanks brother!!

Nice crawl space
Very nice I agree my friend

Try wagos they are awsome
I use my side by side winch to pull my wire

I probably wouldn't be able to get under the house..
It depends if it's stapled in the wall
It was built 100 years ago.. I can't remember when the units started coming out to be put in.. Was it possible they were stapling back then?
I'm not sure
My indoor unit is right beside the outdoor unit.. So hopefully it isn't stapled.. That's a long crawl 😂 with just enough space to get you in, maybe.. 🤣
