0:50 "Gotta change the filter too". Yeah, you don't want any of that expensive hypoallergenic crap. They're too thick. You should get a cheap one from Walmart. It let's more air through and stops the high pressure something or other tripping. Yeah? You got that? Get rid of that expensive sh1t. You hear me? See, I've been watching and learning :)
This was different. Looks like a nice home and Miss Molly was free to supervise the job. It will be heater repair time soon! I like watching heater repairs over AC repairs.
Dear Steven.....You need to find a reasonable and dedicated and reliable contractor to do annual maintenance to your unit! (lol, you are the best, too busy to take care of home base).
Now Steven you know when you're out on the job and you go to a customer's house and weeds are grown up around their condenser outside you complain look at the Weeds on your condenser at your house they have took it over LOL.
This is the best gem! To see how the plumber's pipes are! Like the expression. No kidding. Not easy being Cheesy. I got winter things to do! And NOT last minute, panic time! 🤣
Right on Steve! Get after it and do that maintenance at the HP CU so it can breathe lol. MERV 8 electrostatic permanent filter from ELECTROMAZE are easy to clean, minimal air restrictions and bi-directional. I have 2 at my house I take out every 90 - 120 day's and rinse off with a garden hose. EVAP coil stays clean and cooling perfectly. Good video btw.
You should clean that condensate pump yearly. Bleach won’t last, it gets pumped out. Clean the dam thing. Also, clear out the vegetation around the the outdoor unit! Geez! Oh, and use a better filter!
I would think that being on the trade you would have the heat pump nice and clean, flushed coils and what not.. I guess you get home and last thing you want to think about is your own equipment. have a good one.
Steve doesn't maintain his own equipment, Sorry Steve i cant talk, I'm in auto repair these days and i neglect to rotate my tires until i see abnormal wear. Sometimes we just dont want to find the time for our own things when we are so busy fixing others.
Keep the area around the outside unit clear of weeds and grass, change the filters regularly, I’ve heard that a few times over the years. Lol. Not sure what the saying is in the USA but in the uk it’s ‘practise what you preach’ . It’s always interesting about service engineers how they often don’t service their own stuff. How many car mechanics run around in poorly maintained cars. It’s just human I guess we all do it,
I remember the install videos. Good thing for safety switch. Good DIY! How’s the generator doing? I want one, but city code for placement makes it too expensive.
I get about 10 years in between blockages. No pan under my system, damn water pours down into my furnace. I usually catch it immediately as my furnace is in the basement laundry area. No easy way to locate a cut-off switch in my evaporator pan unfortunately.
In my area, the coils never sweat...dew point's too low, except for two weeks out of the year. Then, the monsoons come, the dew point goes up into the 60s, and all that fine micro dust washes down the fins into the pan, and clogs the trap. That's the "gel" you get. I just use a gahhhden hose at the staht o' tha season and give it a good douche up into the pan, drain and repeat. Unit's 30 years old, already had the evap out to clean up after the original owner, use 2 30% filters in a rack...no more probs. Fixed orifice, I run it a little bit low on SH to keep the old Copeland's windings cool on 115° days. I bet that thing will be running after I croak.
I added a permanent hose connection and a valve to keep water from flowing into the air handler and just flush the condensate out with the hose once a month or as needed. 👍
Break the red and the tstat will go blank letting homeowner know there is a problem right away. Also tstat has a built in five minute time delay to keep the compressor from short cycling in the case of a slow drain making and breaking contacts. Gurgle Gurgle .
Steve treats his system like a red headed step child, no maintenance whatsoever yet anywhere else during a service call it's "good enough for this neighborhood" LMAO... J/K, I'm just bustin his balls because truth be told: When you do this shit for a a living, you know every sound, every smell, every system hesitation and anything you can get way with etc. No one who does this stuff on a daily basis wants to deal with it at home, it just makes us roll our eyes and think to ourselves "yeah, I should change my filter but it's hot up there, screw it...".
Hey Steve, you may want to tell that home owner to keep his AC unit (condenser & fan) free and clear of over grown weeds and bushes. 😀😀
Lackah maintenance =)
Time to get out the line trimmer. Maybe shoot it with the garden hose... give it a good douche ha
Good enough for that nebahood
And spidah webs.
It’s no Taj Mahal mama!
Customers are not the only one that doesn't change their filters
If you was to repair everyone els units id be the same with my own 🤣
it's the first time i see steve's hands without gloves
I thought something looked odd about the shot. I hadn't noticed he wasn't wearing his normal blue gloves!
And oddly enough its when he's handling bleach. lol
@@serendipityforever1406 like the hand model on seinfield lol
You could have at least driven around the block a few times with miss Molly in the truck. That’s my favorite part!
Lol I knew the video was going to start with him directly in this house. It's his house!!!! 😆
😂
Hahaha!
You need to talk to this home owner about the importance of preventative maintenance. Lol
Condenser is in the jungle
Sure ain't no Taj Mahal!
Oh Mama! The home owhnah needs a filtah. At least she ain't a leakah and doesn't need a new motah.
😅
good enough for that neighborhood......and gitya surge protector on that Cutler-Hammer box.
I was expecting the line.....'good enough for this neighborhood' LOL
LOLLLLL
You should’ve chewed out the homeowner for not changing the filter & have any unit service regularly! Send the bill to Miss Molly
lol 😁
And not having things trimmed around the outside unit, haha…
absolute shitshow
I think we all like watching Steve working on his own equipment. Pretty cool video.
That homeowner needs to clean the jungle out lol
Shoemakers kids go barefoot! Need to complain about the customer who doesn't maintain their unit... aint no Taj Mahal... Good stuff Steve..
11:51 Miss Molly's Final Inspection.. Job Well Done.
Steve,I think you could've gotten a few more years out of that filter 😆 🤣 😂
Good enough for this neighborhood. Fifty bucks says this customer doesn’t pay the bill. 😂
Lack of maintenance .... lack of maintenance! Great video Steve!

You have Def been paying attention!
Tha Filta , he doesn't keep them in stock either
I was half expecting a, "she's a crusty one, Mr. Grinch"
Good job Steve, a little bit of preventive maintenance never hurt.
cutest pup on the internet....give that fellow a discount because the commute was so easy!
Ain't no Taj Majal !!

Great job fixing your own ac system Steve, we have to admit that filter was lot's crusty! Good video though 👌 👍 👏 🙌
At least you didn't have to pay a service call from some hack 😂🤣😅 Thx for sharing ... Miss Molly looking cute as ever ...
Ain't no taj mahal mama! good enough for this neighborhood!
Miss Molly appreciates you fixing her air conditioner. Thanks for Sharing. Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.
Kind of dark and dingy in that cellar. Lots of cobwebs. You should get the homeowner to put a couple lights in there and clean up those cobwebs.
Love seeing Miss Molly checking up on you (and your work) ... she looked a bit worried you were upstairs ; )
You should patent your replacement hose and call it Steve’s Special Sleeve!
Dear Steven.....You need to find a reasonable and dedicated and reliable contractor to do annual maintenance to your unit! (lol, you are the best, too busy to take care of home base).
Now Steven you know when you're out on the job and you go to a customer's house and weeds are grown up around their condenser outside you complain look at the Weeds on your condenser at your house they have took it over LOL.
do what I say not what I do....
Ya gave it the ole “howya doin”
Hey Steve, you gave that the ol’ How-you-doin’ and a good douche. Once again, It’s definitely good enough for that Neighborhood…😁👍
This is the best gem! To see how the plumber's pipes are! Like the expression. No kidding. Not easy being Cheesy. I got winter things to do! And NOT last minute, panic time! 🤣
After working for others all day, I would have called Mikey Pipes to repair it. He would just replaced it with a Bosch 2.0.
Wow! I think you need to call a professional - lawn service.
Nothing but quality here
Its a good thing you know a good a/c guy.
Right on Steve! Get after it and do that maintenance at the HP CU so it can breathe lol.

Dang...I bet there's a Brown Recluse or two in that cellar!
You should clean that condensate pump yearly. Bleach won’t last, it gets pumped out. Clean the dam thing. Also, clear out the vegetation around the the outdoor unit! Geez! Oh, and use a better filter!
Good enough for this neighborhood. y'all
you need to trim back that grass around unit
Good enough for this shack
I would think that being on the trade you would have the heat pump nice and clean, flushed coils and what not.. I guess you get home and last thing you want to think about is your own equipment. have a good one.
Awe, your little dog is so cute!
Steve doesn't maintain his own equipment, Sorry Steve i cant talk, I'm in auto repair these days and i neglect to rotate my tires until i see abnormal wear. Sometimes we just dont want to find the time for our own things when we are so busy fixing others.
Some. People like making money but don’t like spending money. He doesn’t want to pay himself for fixing it😂😂😂
Thats a great idea with that clear tubing. Using as a coupling, and also the pump system you mad to pump it out and to flush it out. Great ideas.
Lack of maintenance !
Mr.Steven cold ❄️🥶 and sweety
Sounds like a plan by the way great 👍 job Sir...God Bless you
And the USA🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
that basement looking crusty real crusty clean that shit up. OLD CRUSTY STEVE O......
A auto mechanic's car is always the last one to get needed repairs done. Guess that works with other professions as well. LOL.
I bet Steve got a chuckle when his AC went out. Rolled out of bed and grabbed his tools. 👍
Those basement cobwebs made me think Herman Munster would be the helicopter!
Don't forget to give yourself a service ticket
Pretty cool repair ! No money on this one.
I knew Steve wasn’t gonna say “ good enough for this neighborhood “ on this video. Lol!
You need to get Ted to send you some Yellow Death to flush that out!
No Covid at Steve's house because he felt safe to handle the equipment without gloves on.

Using a higher merv air filter helps reduce drain tube blockages
Don't need gloves at your own house? LOL!
Miss Molly is working from home today.
Aint no Taj Majal here. 😉
"Good enough for this neighborhood!"
Steve you didn't have to travel far for this service call...lmao Momma!
Thanks for sharing that! Any new cooking videos in the works?
I remember the install videos. Good thing for safety switch. Good DIY! How’s the generator doing? I want one, but city code for placement makes it too expensive.
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
No Gloves….cuz it’s Steve’s own house, Mamma !
Mama There’s a real helicopter 😂
Don't forget to write up a slip as a tax deductible expense for your home office!
I get about 10 years in between blockages. No pan under my system, damn water pours down into my furnace. I usually catch it immediately as my furnace is in the basement laundry area. No easy way to locate a cut-off switch in my evaporator pan unfortunately.
I used a washer hose for the drain line on my AC that way it's easy to clean/remove.
In my area, the coils never sweat...dew point's too low, except for two weeks out of the year.

Great job and amazing on TH-cam video Mr Steven
I added a permanent hose connection and a valve to keep water from flowing into the air handler and just flush the condensate out with the hose once a month or as needed. 👍
That won't work.
@@docholliday3150 it works for me 😁
Good thing is miss molly aint the helicopter type.
Dam homeowners not keeping up with maintenance
Break the red and the tstat will go blank letting homeowner know there is a problem right away. Also tstat has a built in five minute time delay to keep the compressor from short cycling in the case of a slow drain making and breaking contacts. Gurgle Gurgle .
I suppose that this video was inevitable. It's a good thing that you knew the right guy for the job.😉👌
That unit is down in the mire….gotta have the homeowner clean it. Suppose it’s good enough for that neighborhood.
How do you put bleach in the condensate pump when you can't get the drain loose from it ?
Us Hvac guys don’t take our own advice. Filters dirty etc. put it in forget about it until a problem. Figure will fix it when broke
One video that doesn't start with the music of a hard-working diesel engine, and a greeting to Miss Molly :)
Nothing but quality here!
Good enough for this neighborhood
Cold & Sweaty Momma 🤣. God bless You & Mrs Molly.

What’s up Steve and Miss Molly!!!! Love your channel!!!!!!!!
Been watching for years it's funny how you bark at your customers. Bout maintenance. You got the money 💰 just buy a new system.
He sits around counting his coin.....no time for home a/c repairs.
Shoe maker’s got no shoes 😂
"Down celluh..." Welcome to Noo England, mah!
Steve, as you always said, preventive maintenance!
The painters house always needs painting momma. No money in fixing your own stuff..
You might want to call Steven Lavimoniere? He'll fix that for you the right way. Just a suggestion.
IT'S A CRUSTY ONE , MR GRINCH :)
Got to keep Molly cool!
Ain’t no Taj Mahal
Steve... " Call the Guy" when your A/C goes out..!! 😁😉
