Love working on manufactured homes because it is usually very simple. They call me the trailer trash HVAC expert of the Pacific Northwest, lol.
Lol that’s funny and I agree that they can be simple to work on.
Me too. We are the only company in my area who works on them. And i charge the same rate as normal homes, $175 per hour. I have roughly 5,000 customers and roughly 300 of them are mobile homes. The money from a mobile home customer is the same color. And they are always very appreciative when we leavr
They sure are dirty for being new. The first one needs a better way for the air filter to work. All in a day's work, good job.
New? That filter looks like it's been in that air handler for a year and so much dust on the door vent? Maybe they took this ac unit out of an older trailer and put it in this new one.
Curtis, that first one doesn’t have a condensate trap, that is why the condensation is getting sucked into the blower compartment.
They generally place the trap under the house where the line set comes up through the underbelly.
That is a possibility, but in order to better serve the customer, it should always be verified. In order to verify without crawling under the house, all you have to do is dry fit a trap at the termination outside and then start pouring water into the drain pan. If there is indeed a trap under the house, adding a trap outside will create a double trap/air trap situation where the system will not drain. If you find that the system drains freely with the trap installed outside, that means it is the only trap on the system, and there is not one under the home. In the case where an air vent has been added at the trap under the home, you will not have an air trap and it will still drain freely, but it is better to be safe and err on the side of protecting the equipment. I see so many installs where there is no trap installed on air handlers, and blower motors/electrical controls fail within a couple of years because of all the water that is getting dumped onto them.
They can't at least have a return plenum with a filter rack and a grill on front to maybe make it look somewhat professional. How does that pass inspection
Trailers in Massachusetts are the same way
Anything goes in the trailer park
You know it’s going to be a Great video when you Hear the Crickets that have been stuck inside this Vacant Manufactured Home since it left the Factory. 😬👍🙏
I'm just getting started in ac, I would like if possible if you can explain more what you're doing and why
YES
Not enough narration.
We need to hear what youre observing and the actions you plan to take!
Carrier’s Smart Comfort slap coil starting with NADA have a know water issue! Change the coil to NAUA and it will fix the water issues. Up flow vs down flow. Put the up flow in even though the system is down flow.
Also on ecobee just go to the install section and test run it.
That's what was wrong with mine! I had water on the floor every time the AC ran.
Installer was a hit and run kind of guy lol. You and Riley have a good weekend
Small magnetic tray that you can find at automotive shops. They will hold all the screws you take out together inside they tray so they do not accidentally get scattered around. They can also stick to the metal housing on the side of the HVAC unit so you can keep the screws off the floor and away from your feet or other objects that you might move around while working.
Same for working on the condenser unit outside. Never have to worry about losing screws or small parts in the grass or lose dirt.
I went to a new customers house to correct the last guys muck up. Apparently he left a duct open , under the mobile that was spewing hot or cold air into the open space creating high heating and cooling costs for the customer ( some of the crazy shit I see ) .
I have found flex ducts from roof top units in the attic that were taped and when the duct tape dried out the whole duct just dropped down and blowing into the attic.
See that a lot, they need annual inspections. A knowledgeable eye catching issues before it's a problem!
Did the installer put the condenser by a dryer vent ? At 6:24 minutes. That’ll be another service call
yuup, and its open for a birds nest build. ha
I look forward to watching your videos every afternoon or evening.
That T-stat is going to be nightmare in no time, what a unnessasary POS. The compressor is already going to wake the neighbors and its brand new....lol.
On the first video, I love the filter slot
So in texas new moblie homes are by law wired for heat only. Had a job where we installed condensers for new moblie homes and got call backs cause all the t stats were wired for heat only. Crazy!!!
In what world does this make sense?
@amiatroll6347 I have no clue. My boss was pissed to find that out. My boss ended up making us change the t stats and charging the property for it all
@@brandonledesma5054 In Texas of all places... I cannot fathom it. Please someone make sense of this for me!
@@amiatroll6347 The same world where the legislature in Florida decided it was going to be illegal for cities and counties to mandate water breaks. Because it's bad for the mega developers that bought & paid for them and that prick DeSantis.
Wow! After seeing that thermostat, i love my old school honeywell even more!!
Two easy jobs there Curtis, Well done 👍 Au
Thanks 👍
Can't believe they put the thermostat at the front door.😮
Never fails with the smoke alarms lol we don’t have the problem here in Florida.
What did I miss on the second one? Just loose wire nuts?
Hot wire from furnace was pushed down in the wire nut, and not touching the other wires.
@@HVACGUY thanks for clarifying. I didn't think it was obvious in the video
@@staind288yes, missed that too in the video.
@@HVACGUY WAGO connectors are better.
@@HVACGUY
Would be nice if you explained what the problem is in the video.
Other then that good job!
Seen those garbage fuses on cars fall apart like that a few times
Yall need to subscribe guys! it’s free and he gives us consistant content. it’s not easy to work and film and not to mention edit. C doesn’t have anytime for anything else but teach and entertain us. simple click guys. he should havd way more subscribers because this is one of the top 3 channels on you tube. C, make a video about your analytics to show the views vs the subscribers please. yea, he’s monetized and gets paid but it’s work for us and all you have to do is hit a button layin’ in bed. rant over! jus give back for the ones that watch and aren’t subscribed. ❤
the smart comforts come with those tstats from the factory
Love your videos
Thanks
@@HVACGUY keep up the good work!!!!
First thing I would do if I moved in would be to change that dumbass thermostat
The first unit. Those refrigerant pipes, just laying on the edge of the holes in the cabinet of the furnace without any grommets, where they go in is a potential rub through waiting to happen.
Nice room on the second outdoor
Yea she was trying to get home early to clean
Yes, a likely story….
Nice jobs Curtis.
Thanks!
Another great video 👍👍
Did the first AHU have a trap on the drain?
No, it did not, that is why there is condensation stains in the blower and electrical compartments
the smoke detector beep gets me everytime, lol
Orange wire nuts where there should be grey or blue. Hate to be judgemental but ……. Nice filter, imagine the air!
If I lived there, that T-stat would have to go.
Hi Curtis, the Milwaukee Impact Driver is not same, in video have 3 Lights
My dog thanks you for silencing the smoke detectors.
I didn’t hear it but my dogs were going crazy. Paused it to look at the weather since I thought they might have heard thunder. Clear skies. Then I saw this comment. Needless to say I’m hard of hearing.
My cat's still under the bed. I'm sure she'll thank him when she comes out.
Single woman sign is a beeping smoke detector. The chaos in their heads doesn't hear it.
Nice work 😊
Good Video! I have a hearing problem. On your videos the captioning does not work, and I miss what you are saying. Will you check to see if there is anything you can do at your end? Thank you!
The homeowner needs to learn how to clean up the house.
Mercy Curtis , I lived in a Mobile home for 10 years! I didn't the filter system on the first home. Apparently it didn't fit the air handler all that well and from the looks of things ,it had been that way for a while. Was the low voltage wired wrong on the first one? What did you do on the second one other than program the thermostat?
The water might be because of a bad coil. I have a 2021 Clayton home with the same air handler and had problems with water on the floor under it. They had to replace the coil because it was poorly designed. The lines came into the middle of the coil, which caused a warm spot. So, the condensation would leak off of the coil before getting to the pan at the bottom. Luckily, my warranty covered all but a small deductible. In total, it would've cost me almost $1,800!
That first trailer won’t be worth anything after three years considering the way she takes care of it; or should I say does not take care of it!
Dont understand why certain air handlers are designed with the coil above the electrical....
What's with the filter just being on top of the air handler? Is that normal in mobile homes? No ducts just sucking air from that closet?
Easy money day 🎉🎉
Hey those units are made by carrier for Clayton homes i think you can go straight ac or heatpump is that true
As long as you have enough thermostat wire
@@HVACGUY gotta co worker has 20kw and wants to go to heatpump
Give 'em the Ted Cook thermostat test. :)
If the installer did not have the time to wire this blower properly and set the thermostat, you think he vacuumed those lines properly or did he do most 5 min tops if any? I think more calls will be coming....
Nice filter compartment
Why don't they just put a simple thermostat for people rental are not so sophisticated with those stupid dumb stuff
More $$$.
Question curtis have you come across with one of those mobile home indoor coils that water drips on fan,?
Coil is clean and spotless and yet water still dripping from the middle of it??
Great video by the way👌
I have a RUUD Heat Pump recently serviced and was told the outside unit cold and heat valve was stuck, the replacement part no longer made, so they wired it so it would cool. I was told they could come back right before winter and switch it to heat or replace my HVAC. Has anyone run into this situation.
Thanks for the video, on the second job what was the thermostat got no power?
My thermostat has two arrows to control temp. 😂
Please turn on closed caption, my hearing is not good.
Installers are to lazy to install units properly and I would never run the line set in front of the fan unit.
So the installers don't make sure the thermostats are operating the unit before they leave? On our brand new trailer home, the wires were pinched in the wall with a staple or something from manufacturer and things were not operating correctly. The installers are getting very lazy!
Mobile homes arent built on sight.. theyre prefabbed before any walls are put up lol. It always goes to the lowest bidder.
@@Ace707xtc I'm well aware of the process on building mobile homes. My beef is with the installer not completely testing the system before leaving the site!
Sometimes the pinch wire won’t cause a problem right off the it could run fine while they are there.
@@robertlamey7612 oh it was definitely an issue from the start. When I turned the blower only on it ran the air conditioner and when I put it on the a/c the heat and a/c would run.
As a 2.5 million+/year installer I agree installers should always test operations. That being said it’s hard to find good help nowadays and the jobs keep coming in…. I can go weeks without seeing my family much because of how busy I am and how much I have to do, due to lack of good help. I can see an installer now and again so booked he has little time and help and cuts corners…. Just a thought. Or could just be lazy… I know the last thing my job allows is this “laziness” you speak of. Also, depending on where you are in the states new con installers don’t even touch the low voltage or high voltage.
After watching, I have no idea what either problem was or how it was fixed :-/
If that is a rental unit should have been a simple t4 or t6 stat.
Is the drain properly trapped?
Cannot imagine walking off a job with a filter like that first one and thinking "Yep I did some good today." Who tf leaves a filter just sitting on top of a unit like that, theres gotta be some sort of attachment for the top, right? With rails the filter can slide in? Ive never seen anything quite like that.
Great videos, cant stand them smart stats, id be paying to have that crap ripped off and a old school put back on
Do you find the prices of the tools you have listed to be cheaper on Amazon than at the local warehouse?
So first one was loose wire nuts??
Nice 😀
Nope it's just piece work..I installed it now pay me. You don't pay me to do start up!!😮😮😅😅
I don't understand why there are so many orange wire nuts used for low voltage that I've seen in your videos. Blue would do the job much better.
For those that don't know ,the blue wire Nuts are made for that size wire that thermostats have
looks like they need a new cheesecloth filter
Hi bro
Hello
What a dump
They can’t pick up the effin’ trash off the floor?
I wished you'd talk more
doesn't anyone clean..
How can people be such slobs
the lady was in the process of moving in.
@@grandinosour So the owner didn't change the filter before he rented it out again?
@@dirtroadsailing6418 Apparently so....the creator stated at the beginning of the videos that one trailer was brand new and the other had a tenant who just moved in.
Some landlords hire prep crews to prepare a unit for rental and they got lazy....
I will not just trust a tenant to just change a filter on their own accord...I will verify with a whole house maintenance inspection every 3 months.
Interesting the homemade label on that air handler stated to replace the filter every 90 day's...really?...It's once a month in rental units to account for smokers, pets, and candle lovers for me.
Dispise these eco bee stats
Why do you dislike them
Much Much better than the Nest
They are fantastic you just don't know how to use them or set them up.
My Ecobee is over 3 years old and has been flawless since new. My $500 Trane lasted about 18 months 🤦🏻♂️
Ecobee was blank, replaced the 3 amp fuse and all came back on. But outside unit won't respond. Led 1 and 2 blink red together. Board states normal operation. What should I do nxt
