*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*
This is the single best video I've seen on ac issues. He hit all the important troubleshooting points for the average homeowner, in less than 2mins! Perfect.
Thank you so much for posting this video.After watching it I was able to determine my service line was clogged. I unclogged the line and the A/C fan kicked right on. I have a big smile on my face knowing my wife and baby will be sleeping in a cool home in Texas in July. Happy 4th of July.
Awwww😊😊😊
My air condition stop at one day , and I do not have any clue about the air condition.
I went through many video , but I did not find any answer to my problem til I find that video , followed it and my air condition start to work again . Thanks a million.
Man I didn’t even think about the batteries. Just saved me so much money.
Memorial Day 2021. This vid just saved me a service call!
hey buddy i was so worry about ac unit because the fan wouldnt stop and i just saw your video and check the batteries and is working just perfect now😁 thank you
Great advice! I didn't think to check the AC breaker in the panel box. Had to pay for a service call in my new (older home) when I thought the AC died. Thanks for posting, handsome.
Great video...before pulling out the thermostat, make sure to turn the power off at the furnace.
When you put the thermostat back in the wall, be careful not to force and damage those pins behind the thermostat
THANK YOU! It was the float switch on the drain line. Saved me an unnecessary, and potentially expensive, service call.
My AC hasn't been cooling for over a week, it has been cutting on and off for the past 5 months since I've lived here and its been driving me crazy. It'll be working just fine and then shut off randomly, won't work for a week or two and then will miraculously just come back on. (All the while the screen on the thermostat is on, its backlit and powered on.) After watching this video I just popped up the "flow switch" he mentioned and it came right on. I don't know if that was supposed to happen or not lol but Im grateful. I was on my way to go buy a fan when I decided to search TH-cam ONE MORE TIME. ....Just wanted to post this incase someone else was dealing with the same issue. Try that :shrugs:
Thanks, turns out my drain was backed up. You just saved me 200 bucks.
Thank you so much!!!! My AC had that auto cut off ( safe-t-switch) when the pipes get clogged. I removed them, ran a water hose thru them and my AC turned back on! OMG!!! I AM SO GRATEFUL!!!
Good morning I wanted to thank and compliment you on your very informative and useful video. I live here in Tucson Arizona probably one of the hottest places in the US. Under my lease I'm sure I'm entitled for someone to come out and service my AC and heating issues but because I'm a pretty independent woman and don't like to trouble much less wait on anybody, I usually take the liberty to switch out my own filters generally every 2.5 to 3 months. In the peak of the summer heat and because Arizona can be very dusty I may find myself doing this probably every six to eight weeks and one of my indicators is when I hear a whistling sound that usually tells me it's that time. Well although it's getting warmer it's not exactly summer time so this year's early "whistling sound" AKA my time to change my filter alert" started off rather early. After switching out my filter I found that they're still was yet enough cool air flow to make a significant difference. I decided to TH-cam a do-it-yourself instructional video which is where I found yours. After following your instructions I am happy to say that almost instantly I can feel a much more cooler difference. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that I added this to my now and new named "Handy Man" list lol! On a serious note I can't thank you enough. Good luck, stay cool and keep your dyi videos coming!
Good information, will send my clients here before going out
Thank you. Other vids had me convinced it was the capacitor. But it turned out to be just the float. Free fix. Thanks again.
Thank you so so much, you saved me from burning our in Miami heat. It works for me!
Very Clear Cut and Informative.
Thank you.
got a question, the "flow switch" you mentioned what does it look like? seem like connected to electricity?
thank you so much a couple batteries in the thermostat and its fixed.
I am so glad I did not pay a trip charge to the repair co. for 2 bad batteries !!!! bless you
You are absolutely awesome wish your company was in Orlando your a gem thank you for the tips
Thank you. I had already changed filter, checked breaker and fuses, but I didn't know there were batteries in the thermostat. Viola. I have a working a/c. Thanks again.
Saved our Memorial Day weekend with a housefull. THANKS!!!
Great Video!!!!!!!!!!!! My thermostat would turn on and then power off after a few mins. It won't stay on and mine doesn't use batteries in the thermostat. The root issues was the drain line. It was backed up and I took my air compressor and blew it out....make sure you have towels handy if you do that....
Thanks for your video. You saved me big time today!
Great video! Air had been out since last night, and it was the "Safe-T" switch due to a clogged drain. Saved me a service call!
Thank you for this video. Our problem was one of the ones you mentioned (we vacuumed out the line) and it's working great!
An excellent information provided thanks for all the information i must say great efforts made by you.
thanks a lot for all the information you provided.
You just saved me some money and time to call a service. Thank you!
Great Video! Straight to the point and informative. I had none of these issues, but Thank you!
Awesome video guys. Definitely helpful advice before people pick up the phone!
Well we have to say, great information - well put together - and completely right about the time delay on the thermostats/air filter check! I hope you don't mind the small plug here; but we pride ourselves on selling used AC units all across the country and value videos like this one teaching people the right things! Cheers! And keep making!
Used AC Depot
@HDMann292 just a thought...but I just got a new thermostat put in that has "auto switching." It goes from AC to HEAT as needed so that year-round you don't have to change settings. You set a "heat" temp, to where if the temp of the room drops to that point, the heat comes on. You set a "cool" temp so if the temp gets too hot it will start the AC. It might be possible to have the "heat" temp too close to the "cool" temp which causes crazy heater/AC switching...
OMG. Thank you SO MUCH! Saved me hundreds 🙏🙏🙏
flipping the breaker worked!!! thank you so much! we were baking!!
great video.the problem I have is that air kicks on and after a couple min. the air kicks off and the heat kicks in?
Good video, easy to do, easy to solve problems, but there some people just don't want to do it. Sometimes I go to do service call, I ask myself, why I here?
Our isn't getting cold
We are in a rental in South Carolina there was a new unit installed before we moved in. The airflow wasn't great and never has been, but the heater works good but when it got hot the air conditioner didn't work that good so the guy who installed it came in and worked on it then the air conditioner works good but when it got cold the heater wasn't working again we were told it kicked into some emergency mode or something and my bill went up to $500 so he came and fix that now it's getting hot again and now the air conditioner doesn't seem to be getting cold we either have one or the other and the thermostat might as well being on off switch because it does not control the temperature and shut the thing off I don't know if this guy doesn't know what he's doing or just doesn't care but we're tired of this any suggestions?
Great video
Question : I have a one-and-a-half ton 220volts split unit AC. After few seconds of turning it on the clamp meter reads 22A then rise to reach 37A for few seconds then it stops and the clamp meter reads zero or 0.1A. What could be the problem?
What a hottie. I would service him if he ever knocked on my door!
Would a short by the capacitor hurt the compressor? Can the compressor be reset? I had to use a smaller capacitor and the outside fan will pause for a second then come back on after about 5 min. of running.
Do whole house air units have a filter? I keep seeing the mention of filters but no one explains if it is the same filter used by the furnace or one specific to the air conditioning unit.
thank you so much it was so helpful
what about the outside ac unit?
Thank you. You just saved me a call to the ac people. Don't know why I hadn't already checked the breakers. I am not a smart man.
Straightforward checklist that can be helpful in diagnosing problems with AC
Wondering what temps are not safe to run a central A/C unit? Most say under 60F which you dont really need unless you want to check for functionality.
In my condo, the a/c furnace combo unit doesn't work at all. But the fan (indoors) does work. Nothing wtong with breaker, wires look good, new filter, no fluids leaking. I'm at a loss right now. Any ideas
THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH!!! I was able to fix the issue based on your video.
Hey where can I get a breaker cover like the one that's on the air handler. Been looking for something exactly like that!
My condensate line gets clogged sometimes. Never thought to run bleach down the line. Thanks!
Have you heard about using Cold Plus refrigerant additive to get colder air and use less electricity? I heard that both commercial and residential units are saving between 8% to 18% utility bill savings...is that possible?
I have a new AC unit and I noticed that there is cool air coming from the air handler enclosure. My unit is in my garage and I don't need the garage cooled. Is this normal? Thx.
Thsnk you so much. it was the breaker for me. 17 sec of your video saved me. thank again.
What happens if I don't see water coming out the tube on a brand new system? I suspect that they left the old "condenser" in there. He said they ran a pressure check, but I'm concerned because I don't see my humidity level going down after running it for 30 minutes.
Just moved into a house and whole family was baking. Thanks Man the AC was off :)
A video I:48 minutes long saved me hundreds of dollars.
Same here .. I also happen to have a breaker near the outside coil unit that one went off..
Thanks you for this video, I learned something new about air conditioner
you should also mention that the homeowner can bleed some refrigerant out the valves on their fingers, taste their fingers, if the refrigerant taste like cinnamon their compressor is failing if not they need to call a service tech.
I don't have a digital thermostat. I have one of those old ones with the silver disc thingy. I probably should't touch it, as far as I'm aware.
How much bleach do I pour down the white tube and what concentration? the same I use for washing my white clothes? Thanks.
Simply to the point awesome extremely helpful video...thanks
thank you very much for tips. I will look up next time when my unit down.
What if there was no drain line installed and your central air system leaks water on the floor..I live in a apartment
Remember if the beaker is off there could be a good reason why this happened system should be checked
These are all those little things some home owners get shitty about having to pay a service call for. Oh don't forget to mention to check to make sure all the registers are open and uncovered, especially in old houses where there is a huge return grill in the floor and people like to throw rugs over them.
Nice and simple. Solved my issue, thank you!
Thank you! I had spaced it and forgot to switch out the furnace filter.
This video saved my 100$
my central air unit is blowing like a fan in my house and when i went outside to check the unit, its not even on..can you help me please?
Carla B Try and turn the thermostat on COOL then go outside to check if the fan is on and if the fan is off then use a long stick or screwdriver and try to kickstart the fan with a good push. If the fan starts working then you need to get a new capacitor on amazon, they're like $20
Carla B
@@PassItToMe360 what of it doesn't spin up, then what?
What if you can hear the unit inside turning on but it takes 3 or 4 tries before coming on. And the tries are about 20 secs back to back??
I have had this A.C. Guy at my house twice. First it was a component outside that was burned out. It still would start. He put toothpicks to get the fan to run and stay on. He went inside my house and said it could be the thermostat or the board. He's just guessing. What could be the real cause of my A.C. Not working?
We had a controller in the furnace replaced would that affect the fact we turned on our ac and it wasn't cold ??
Thank you! Got it working again! I really appreciate you and this video.
I have the same ac unit
What trane thermostat you will recommend???
@soccerpeve you want about a 5 degree difference in temp between the heat temp and cool temp desired.
Where is the p trap on that heat pump??? I didn't see one.
Thanks!!! It was just the batteries. I learned a lot here. THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
my a/c blower kicks on runs 10 seconds and shuts off. The it makes a banging noise trying to restart. Any suggestions?
I think my air conditioner has a leak. I have had a technician come out and fill the freon and it worked for a week. Now it's not blowing cool air again. How do we check for leaks?
Look for oil
Quick easy solutions ! Thanks 👍
Thank you! It turns out we needed to only replace the batteries!
What was ur issue if u dont mind me asking
@@dax8407 My AC not coming on. What's your issue?
@@jacktripper8726 it turns on but its doesnt blow any type of air
i had checked all these but still have cooling issue.
What if the filter gets stuck at the top?
I liked your presentation and helpful advice. All very good info to know. Oh, and yes you are quite good looking. You did a beautiful presentation. *-*
Thanks for all the basic help!
Good video, save us a lot of time and money, much appreciated.
Quick question. Air conditioner was on all night, but never shut off because we had it set on about 70, but never got there (big house). Air conditioner is totally running and turns on, but is blowing absolutely no air.
Thank u your video was VERY helpful
DO all air handlers have built in filters? Mine's up in the attic, and I've almost never been up there.
bammbamm12 no
Was the drain!!!! Yayyyy. Your awesome!!!! Thank you very much.
Thank you buddy! Worked like a charm.
Our system leaks water, we flushed it and it wasn't clogged and it still leaks, any idea?
How much water do I put in it ?
I have a new 11 months Carrier A/c.under warranty.
When I restarted it this year at AC works but when it has reach the set temperature tha AC stops running but the fan in the AC attic unit just keeps running.
The technician seems to be guessing and it is now three weeks since we contacted them.
Any thoughts on fixing this?
Peter Murray you probably have the fan setting on the ON setting, make sure you leave it on the AUTO setting

This video solved my problem! Thanks
