Hey Steve, your an honest guy. Told him the truth, hopefully you get the new install. I just had my 21 year old 3 tonner replaced. It still was cooling good, but was short-cycling. Figured it was time to give it the OLE HOW YA DOIN. Thanks for the great videos, Steve. Enjoy them all!!
How are you liking the new truck Steve ? And, don't forget, use your black knee pad to kneel on ! It's been a year (last June 29th) since my knee injury to my right knee just from kneeling on a rubber pad in my driveway, lease take care of your knees especially when your doing burner service's on concreate floors brother. Love your videos, stay safe out there !
Amazing your truck is a rolling warehouse Steve! A very uncommon cap and you have it. A true honest professional--nice work trying but it shit the bed...
I have this very same system except its badged as a Rheem Raka. Its10 seer and 24yrs old. Over the years i've only changed the contacts and capacitor. Ive thought of changing it out, but given the cost of new systems and the fact that its only run 3 months out of the year and only for a few days in those months, it doesnt seem worth it. And the new system would probably turn out to be less reliable.😄
@@cannaboids1999 mine never saw a tech till last week. I kept coil clean yearly and changed filter regularly. No issues. Turned it on few weeks ago and was blowing 70 degrees. Tech added 5 lbs and it lasted 2 weeks. Original capacitor lasted till last year and I changed that out. Time for new but I can’t complain. It was a good trouble free run.
@@JohnR9965 We maintained ours annually. No problems. Last year during the heat wave it went out. Tech put in more refrigerant. All was well. A month later we called him back out because it kept tripping the breaker. He replaced the breaker, capacitor, then he put a hard start kit on. He told me we had about 1 year left because the windings in the compressor were probably causing the breaker to trip. Sure enough, almost exactly 1 year later, the compressor blew a hole in the side and all refrigerants gone. He installed a new RUUD 3 ton 14SEER2 Achiever that is more efficient, saves on electric bill and is superior to the old unit. It's very cold in the house lol. 410a refrigerant. We are happy customers.
@@cannaboids1999nice. Mine goes in this week. Guy wants to put a York non micro channel. Says he put it in his daughter’s house last year. No issue. We shall see.
Customer wants Steve to do the job but Steve has no time and he's basically doing it to make his customers happy!!!! He never upsells and if he says you need it then you need it baby.... you're the best Steve, I wish you were on Long Island lol..
We had renters in a house with new AC system and provided filters for the unit. A year later, the unit failed and when checked, the filter had never been changed and had literally sucked into the air box. The new filters will still in their plastic beside the system. They didn't care. Renters are sometimes not the best.
Lol that compressor either threw a rod and it wedged and locked the crank in place, or swallowed a reed valve! Ker-plunk, ker-plooey!! Our RUUD is pretty identical and has the original Tecumseh compressor and it still runs like a fine watch! The fans in the condenser and evaporator units too, no refrigerant leaks, never blew a 2 section cap either! (I hope I didn’t just jinx myself!) 😆😆😆 these RUUD units with Tecumseh compressors are BEASTS!! Cheers and L’il Miss Molly is SO cute and sweet! 😋 Cheers, Steve! 👍🏻
@@volvo09 oops. Lol wasn’t sure. Yeah, the scroll compressors tend to be more fragile I hear. Lol running a 3 phase one backwards is hilarious! Ya can then scrap the whole unit! 😆 I was an electrician at a local mall where they were putting a new store in and was reusing the existing feed (type R cloth in buried rigid conduit) from the switch gear room and had all the phases marked, and the electrician that the store chain hired at first interchanged the neutral with one hot and blew 3 expensive 600 amp fuses, so I rang it out with a 2 dollar battery powered continuity tester light, though it was obvious-smaller gauge, white tape I put on! Then after fixing that for him, he didn’t obey the red, black, and blue tape on the main feeds and did his own thing, and hooked up 3 brand new RTU’s with wrong phase rotation and destroyed all 3 scroll compressors in a few seconds! What a derp! The units were removed and scrapped! I bet that cost a pretty penny! 😆😆😆👍🏻
Consider stocking the Titan HD capacitors. They are USA made and a better capacitor. The Titan Pro is Chicomm made.It's worth it to charge your customers more for them.
installed hundreds of these units.....many installer would leave these filters in knowing they would be back someday to change it even though there was other filtration in the ceiling somewhere. I am sure he has other filtration as this would be too difficult for a homeowner to access.

He did say “Where’s the filter?” 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Well my 03 same unit but 3 ton just shit the bed. Big leaker…..replacement on order…..not cheap…
My 2001 3-ton Ruud/Rheem, same unit as yours, shit the bed 2 weeks ago. Compressor failed. Had it replaced 2 days later.

Nice! I hope you find some help for a couple hours even just to clean up or bring tools in for you.
Happy Birthday Miss Molly, you don't look a day over 4.
good job...thats the way to treat the customer....try everything worth it before condemning.
Hello Steve!
How do you get the new unit up there?
How much we looking at Steve for the new system??
Customer wants Steve to do the job but Steve has no time and he's basically doing it to make his customers happy!!!! He never upsells and if he says you need it then you need it baby.... you're the best Steve, I wish you were on Long Island lol..
He's been flooding back the compressor with the blocked air filter for a while, washing the oil out of the compressor...
Thing looked like a dryer filter!
My sister in law never changes hers. I gave up reminding her after she got mad at me constantly telling her. Oh well
Comprssoe oil out chmecal using filer cleing outdoor ok celing sisaidusing water ceiling filer block good condshiones
Helicopter extreme! lol
Steve doesn't mind because he knows what he is doing and the guy is paying $$
I think we are all helicopters
How do you not know where the filter is located on your HVAC system...DA
H.B. Miss Molly! Lap dogs live longa (pure breed) than Sport dogs (pure breed). Anyway, we're not kicking the can down the road. on this one! 🔴⚪🔵
Wonder what the fan looks like
This is your Bread & Butter Stevie!! Make a Buck!!
is this your first system replacement this year?
The new stuff want last that long.
America - our roads SUCK!
deathbuzz!
Oh man it's July 22nd
I missed the 4th of July
lol
You said July 22 2024???????
Love the old guy. Well, you will do it. I'll pay you "Cash". As in Cash American ❤.
The A/C unit was manufactured during April 2003
A big task in front of you Steve, you'll knock it out, make some money and have a customer for life! ☝️👍💥💫🤑
July 22nd 2024???? Are you videoing this in the future?
What do you do with the cap and hard start kit in situations like this Steve? Just trash them?
05:57 that was satisfying
Happy birthday, Miss molly ❤🎉❤
It’s July 22 2024 ? WHAT? Say that again 😂😂😂👍🏼👍🏼
Guy with the Christ sandals is a yappa!

Would he be better off to install a Mini-split ?
🎂🎂🎂Happy birthday miss Molley.
Howdy Steve and Molly
Octopus job. That ductwork is just crap.

That's a scroll compressor, tall n skinny, no piston and rod.

wow has it really been 6 years since Molly started supervising you? Time flies, better check for pressure loss
Happy Birthday Miss Molly...keep playing catch me if you can
Mine is 36 years old. I’m replacing it this year. Too expensive to give it a little how you doing. R22
You really should film the install! How are you going to get all the old stuff out of there? Or new stuff in. You must have help, right?
Why not change the compressor for him? Yes its R22 but it's possible.
Did you say July 22, 2024?
Why those units have to be in the a actic
the 14 inch cabinet of this unit is good for a 1.5 and 2 ton. as you see the condenser is a 2 ton.
Consider stocking the Titan HD capacitors. They are USA made and a better capacitor. The Titan Pro is Chicomm made.It's worth it to charge your customers more for them.
Happy birthday Molly 🎉
Film the installation please
installed hundreds of these units.....many installer would leave these filters in knowing they would be back someday to change it even though there was other filtration in the ceiling somewhere.
I am sure he has other filtration as this would be too difficult for a homeowner to access.
That's a bad filter design
Steve, get out your tablet and start selling some new systems. Quit working on that old junk!!! lol. Great videos Steve!!
July 22 24 not here yet
Check the compressor see if it's grounded out!
If I replaced anything, it would be with a, couple of split units…
Question from a laymen:
Why not change the compressor out?
They don’t make r22 compressors anymore and the spares are already being used
