AC NOT WORKING SERVICE CALL ON A SUNDAY

[@rrtnps]

One of the best part of your video is watching your attentiveness to Molly for her safety and other needs.

[@terryglass5113]

Sweet. Thank you Mr. Steve for taking the time to record your work and show here on TH-cam. I really appreciate you and your efforts. Your daily videos make my day.

[@terryglass5113]

Miss Mollys window guard is perfect for her. Great job Steve. Thank you. I was so worried to see her on the edge but I just said a prayer and minded my own business.

[@jerryr6713]

That there capacitor that you’re not a fan of… is American made… And a time saver if you don’t have one on your truck.
It’s expensive because it replaces a lot of different capacitors… don’t knock what you don’t understand .🤔
I believe it also comes with a five year warranty.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Oh a nest thermostat Steve's favorite hockey puck haha

[@search_eternal]

Those Amrad Capacitors are nice and made in the USA. Better then those crap ones made in China.

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. Nice job Steve. I like the way you educate your customers, I’m sure they appreciate it.

[@cablaze1]

That was a good one Mr. Lav. thanks for the education.👍

[@ronaldcanby690]

Great job Steve, you did well giving the customer service explanation of what you were doing and he sounds very pleased with the outcome! Your advice to him regarding filter change and condenser hose down cleaning should save him from future damaging his unit and I believe he’ll take this service call as a learning experience as well as what he can do own his own!! You did well Steve helping this family! 👍 Martinsburg, WV 🇺🇸

[@dosgos]

Superhero Steve Lav saved the July 4th party. That was the best $250 that guy ever spent. Awesome service and video.

[@xelaju8]

Steve is the man.

[@46fd04]

Great job Steve! I'm an antenna and satellite tv cable installer. At a recent job, I heard the same thing happening at the customer's house. Two AC units. One working, one buzzing. I pulled the breaker and advised the customer. The HVAC guy said I saved her compressor 😀. He changed the capacitor, and the fan still did not run. He hit the motor with his hand and it started right up! Bad fan motor.

[@davidparizek6741]

Steven, thanks for keeping Miss Molly Safe 👍
Your really pumping out the videos guy 👍

[@RandomYoutuber1023]

$250 for a Sunday call is very reasonable considering my buddy was getting charged $600 to replace a capacitor during normal business hours... He was pissed at the other guy when I told him that I'd do it for just parts price ($35) since he's my friend.

[@lil57may]

Finally we know about the leash, appreciate that steve.

[@waynespringer501]

Can't Stop a Goodman Momma!

[@johnplump3760]

I try and watch most of your videos. I am impressed with your multi talant. Heating, AC and plumming. you always try and keep the cost to the customer down. That is why you are always busy. I am sorry that you are not in my area. Godd luck & keep up the very good work.

[@zwwz4537]

This is the kind of service that is worth its weight in gold. We need more professionals like you Steve

[@Skanzool]

Great idea for Molly! Another fine video. Thanks, Steve.

[@WeatherNut27]

Looks like you may have beaten the rain that day for your job in Wareham. Thanks for the uploads!

[@bobwhammer4237]

Steve, please get Molly a harness. It's much more secure than a choker collar and less likely that she'll get out of it.

[@Phone-sh7jg]

Goodman. Starts right back up.

[@Parkhill57]

He'll be back in a few weeks to replace the fan. It got cooked real good.

[@Phone-sh7jg]

@@Parkhill57 goodman parts are plentiful and cheap. Kinda like the Kmart Brand of HVAC

[@Fred-xo3ku]

He thought about not paying the time and a half but the Sunday heat convinced him to make the call. 😂

[@picklerix6162]

Those universal capacitors cost an arm and a leg. I guess it’s good to have one for emergencies and some techs use them temporarily until they can come back with the property sized capacitor.

[@realSamAndrew]

Capacitor writing upside down looks like 5/09, which might make you think it was installed 14 years ago 😱

[@chrispixx]

Steve is working again y'all, overtime, time and a half.... extra day. Big money to pay the bills. That capacitor you took out of that unit is Mikey pipes approved.

[@richardreynolds9885]

Another happy customer

[@c4pnk1rk]

My only concern... Molly is panting when you go back out to the truck... Dogs panting is them overheating and trying to regulate body temp back down because they cant sweat... Maybe a set of 12v or solar powered fans acting as air intake/exhaust will help get the built up hot air out of the cabin. Otherwise excellent video as usual! Keep em coming! =)

[@chrispixx]

Those chihuahuas are always panting.

[@Techhead777]

That's awesome that Steve carries extra filters for customers and a bunch of capacitors. I wonder how often he takes inventory of things he needs to restock on when he runs out?

[@donhorn548]

Another good service call.

[@richards5843]

Your truck is so big and from a distance Miss Molly looks like a little mouse.

[@jeffreywhitlatch1409]

The last guy probably charged them 200$ just for that fancy crappy capacitor. Good golly Molly, you cutie patootie.

[@WeatherNut27]

Pumping out the videos! Ahhh, another secrete revealed. Stop hiding things on us. :-) lol

[@SheilaSpencer1]

Thank you so much for putting that window guard in for Molly! I worry about her every video when she hangs out so far.

[@tedparkman3111]

Me as well but I think Molly's to smart far that!

[@SheilaSpencer1]

@@tedparkman3111 ya but she only weighs like 5 lbs, she could get sucked out passing a semi-truck. 😥

[@J-Colt]

Another 2fer mama! Thanks Steven.

[@dendkmac]

Awesome video Steve!

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Steve.

[@danwittels5542]

You can't stop a Goodman!

[@PianoRevisited]

Hi Steve - As many times as you explained how the phases work with the capacitor, I'm still not sure I get it ! Maybe next time it'll sink in. 😀

[@richtracey6829]

You a bad man Steve.

[@miketothesupra]

cant stop a goodman

[@scottjones7279]

Hoping that we would see you go to your female friends house 😊

[@RonR1]

Grinch needs a dog leash too he is the jumper.

[@baz-wc4fi]

"Thats how i like my women "Hot & Sweaty"!!🤣🤣🥵

[@zackmax7184]

My Old House had Metal Duct Work and an Oil Furnace. No Air Conditioner. The Metal Duct Work made a loud Boom when the blower came on.

[@leeb.7188]

My furnace makes multiple loud booms when the furnace shuts OFF! No idea what’s causing it.

[@potatolew4495]

​@leeb.7188 if you have metal ductwork, it is the distribution hub expanding and contracting with the airflow.

[@leeb.7188]

@@potatolew4495 : Yes, I do have metal ductwork in my basement. But what is a distribution hub? What does it look like? Do you think it has a leak? Thanks for your response!

[@AmericanConstellation]

I feel sorry for the shocks on that van, if they even work anymore.

[@robertspadezhinton]

Love the video.... Great information

[@RobertKohut]

Good job on the guard to keep her feet in.... 🙂

[@WeatherNut27]

Looks safer for her

[@johndowns7536]

You can a lot of DIY from Steve. My neighbor recently had a new cap and hard start kit installed, $700. Ouch. I got the same parts from Amazon, $60, took me 15 minutes.

[@Parkhill57]

Capacitors are better money makers than crack cocaine.

[@user-sx2xy8dn9v]

Another kick ass video Steve! 🥳💥💯

[@Garth2011]

Is it true that those "Super Capacitors" or Hard Start CAPS help make the compressor last longer? Too bad it was time and a half Sunday, they may have wanted Steve to get that junk off of the condensing coils/fins.

[@zippythechicken]

there ya go

[@anthonyesposito7]

Sounds like that contactor could use a good howyadoin too.

[@frankrizzo3915]

Hello Steve!

[@johnblount1347]

I remember getting my capacitor replaced and paying 360 for 20 mins of work... ooof

[@boeing757pilot]

Yes, that's alot. But I've heard of people getting hit for $600 on really hot days, when the customer must get it replaced immediately... Rip off...

[@alamedacustomholsters]

Beautiful 👊

[@Parkhill57]

That filter had all the covid barnacles on it.

[@iamnoone.]

Howdy Steve and Molly

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Kiss !!!
Dogs are the best

[@Techhead777]

My air handler takes filter size 20 x 20 x 1. The Flanders don't fit with the filter door. Filter buy brand's actual size is a half inch smaller and I can install the filter door easily. I need to leave the door off with the Flanders or the filter gets squished with the bar protrusion.
So my question is which merv 4 filter could I get in a 20 x 20 x 1 that the actual size is a half inch smaller? Or is it okay to leave the filter door off?
The previous owner bought the ones off Amazon from filter buy but they are the pleaded ones. Not good for airflow.

[@tedbell4416]

I'll keep the half fancy filters and clean coils

[@markpowell1031]

It's fonzi's secret also. Sit on it. Lol

[@pauljohnston7700]

short leash tech tip

[@ClickinChicken]

Freedome and the Constitution are on a short leash. I'll return to my embroidery.

[@wickedcoolname399]

It would never cross my mind to call an AC tech on a Sunday. A water leak? Maybe, but AC can wait for weekday rates.

[@X3bands]

He said, "fancy ass shit, queer ass". 😅

[@ClickinChicken]

Hey,! Why drive a Ferrari when you can drive a TDI Jetta. We have something in common! It's just about fun Steve.

[@xelaju8]

22:45 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Good one

[@gordonpotts753]

Everybody luvz Molly

[@RobertTuck-vo8cw]

50 amp breaker for what looks like a 3T unit?

[@dwayne0t]

The city of philadelphia owned pgw came to service my ac on the parts and labor plan. Two clowns came over a 2 day period, and claimed my compressor was dead (after changing a bad capacitor).
With knowledge I got from this channel and others, I knew they were full of it, and called them to come out again. It turns out the clowns hooked up the capacitor wrong. Apparently the brown wire was not for the fan in this case. The new guy traced the wires, and flipping them at the capacitor was all it needed.
The system is R22 and very old, probably decades. Model BRCS0241BB

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

There is another tap on the turbos you could have used instead of wasting a capacitor. They have all the tested values from manufacturer right on the capacitor. But that motor was already toast

[@potatolew4495]

If it is already shorted, from a professional standpoint, I would not reuse.

[@tombeilman5579]

Get a small cordless impact you will like it ,Mikita,Milwaukee, or dewalt

[@stevenlavimoniere]

its a porta cable

[@gordonpotts753]

I hate those turbo caps.

[@carl4323]

I was going to suggest placing a wire basket so that she could put her head out the window but the cage would stop her from ever going to far.

How is the truck running?

[@tomdale1313]

'GUNSLINGER" for hire...

[@gordonmacqueen8694]

Hey Steve, you seeing any R32 or R454a machines in the wild yet? Do you think people should try to get R410a stuff while they still can or wait for the newer stuff?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

get the 410a stuff you will be better of

[@Adam_Poirier]

I don't think people give Miss Molly enough credit… I doubt she wants to jump out of the moving truck and get run over. I'm sure she knows what's going on with that. Haha

[@jblyon2]

Plus he sits on the leash and she weighs so little even if she did jump out she'd just swing around a bit till he pulled her back in. Always happy to see her a bit safer though.

[@caithnessrailrambler2698]

Should be a small charge for helicopter hoovering.

[@sherrigoodson4797]

I'm curious how much do you charge

[@deanguando1335]

$250. - very reasonable for that job.

[@dyershvac5884]

[@BobSmith-mj7ik]

Too much mumbo jumbo with that old capacitor. Jumper wires everywhere. The new one is much simpler

[@chuckquinn8026]

Another clueless homeowner 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@richards5843]

You charge a fair price for a Sunday. Another youtuber which has a hvac business in New York charges a travel charge just to get to your house maybe that's why he can afford a $300,000 Porsche.
