Thanks for taking time with the seniors Steve
Just noticed that you have reached 150k subscribers. Congratulations! Well deserved.
If I ever had to have Steve work on my unit, I'd rent my old lady neighbor to come over and deal with him.
Who the hell would just dislike Steven
I like how he takes care of the nice older women. Fair, just and reasonable. Couldn't ask for anything more
His competitors most likely.
@@blazeandcyrus Yeah probably hahah

Steve: Fantastic repair job.
You are the man.
Good job Steve. I have a Goodman CKL36 that I installed back in 1998. Still plugging along. Retired from HVAC here in North Texas.
rich did you own your own business like Steve? can I get with you about starting up a new HVAC business for TH-cam? I need advice.
Steve and Ms. Molly, CONGRATULATIONS 👏on 150K ! Way to go!
I like to see you saving money to the old folks
Surprised you did not use a lug repair kit
Good work
Steve I have to disagree with you, I have been watching you for years and mechanics like you are far between, you are an expert.
Funny enough it's the ones that constantly refer to themselves as experts that really aren't.
You absolutely ARE an expert. No doubt about that.
Nice job Steven ! It's so good to see how you handle people. And to steer people away from those high efficiency unit's!
I try 2
@@stevenlavimoniere I’m a big fan of the KISS method myself.
You saved her from a hack job replacer.. the money hungry would have said it can't be fixed .
Yup. It could blow in a week and need to be replaced anyway, but it could run for another decade with no problems. That's a wager I'd make for the cost of an hour of Steve's time any day.
If you have TXV equipped central AC, it will remove more humidity than piston equipped central AC. However, central AC is not a full blown dehumidifier. It is simply a byproduct of cooling the air. Whole house dehumidifier that mounts with central AC are really expensive best invested after weather sealing and duct sealing. Standalone dehumidifier is a much more affordable option. In beginning, you may dump out two gallons a day but soon will be one time a day. There are sucky dehumidifiers but I think the industry got it nailed down for reliability. I bought two Danby dehumidifiers... three years now... very quiet, very affordable and still reliable... so happy.
I know people in MI that would have said it was the CAP and then charged $160 for a new CAP + the service call.
Yea, hacker or scammer would quickly say you need a new unit cannot fixed. It sad when they target old people, that why old people have second opinion and call steve first.
Steven lavimonier you are good at repairing AC and heat
Hey steve...nice job as usual! I love how you look after our older folks sir! My mind has been changed about how I view Goodman products. It is all about the install of their products. Thank you for your videos sir. I have learned a great deal. Keep up the good work.
Same thing happened to my Goodman wife told me AC was not working and when I came home to check it it immediately tripped the breaker. Next day when I looked at the condenser I noticed a dangling wire and corroded contact. I put a new contact on and put it back on the compressor and thankfully it worked. I’ve had to change the air handler fan motor last year and condenser fan motor this year but that’s all so after 20 years I can’t complain. It’s never needed a charge yet so run it as long as I can.
Hey guys! “Miss Molly” working again!
I have that same goodman. It has been a good unit.
I lived in an old house I inherited from my aunt around 2000. It only had window ac units and an old gas furnace that was 50+ years old. It bombed a couple of years after living there so I bit the bullet and put a whole new furnace and ac system in from American Standard. Costly but it sure did help in selling the house a couple of years later.
Can stop a Goodman Momma!
My heatpumps are 23 years old and lasted because I installed a 5-1 hard start cap to prevent lock rotor on startup. Runs 12 amps from startup to run. No stress on old tin cans
I just had to replace my 1969 Weather King unit! Gave 51 years of great service, but the compressor finally died! Still ran, but wasn't moving coolant. Have a new 2-ton Concord unit now, with a new A-coil installed on the top of my 1973 furnace!
Congratulations on 150k subscribers!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Love your videos, especially now that you’re doing cooling
Glad you like them!
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! workin’ again y’all! 👍👍
Great job! Keep them running. Dehumidifier is probably more efficient in MA zone but anywhere with humdifity needs it too. I'd imagine ductless system would fit the bill nicely. Super low operating cost Otherwise a standalone dehumidifier would do the job well.
Yeah, but you have to remove the water catchment tray/bucket and give dump it out and replace it. Also a dehumidifier isnt going to reduce the heat.
Shes an older lady, she probably shouldn't be removing buckets of water, dumping them out and putting it back in the machine. The A/C unit removes the humidity without having to mess with buckets of water, and it cools the house down. Kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Never fear ,Steve is here to save the day!keep up with. The good work 👍
Is it me or does Steve sound a bit to mean and fussy🤔
Holy Area Rugs Batman! I counted 11 area rugs from the door where Steve went in to the thermostat! Crazy.
They say area rugs aren't so great for the elderly because they tend to shuffle their feet and trip on the edges of small rugs.
My Mom is tight with money. They live in a Brick house and when I was a kid, She would wait until it was 90° F outside before She would turn the air conditioner on when I was a kid and they live in a Brick house and Our humidity is pretty high here in North Carolina too.
I would just add that for Northerners who may not get the point about a BRICK house in the South. The bricks absorb heat from the hot summer sun and retain it. Then they radiate it all night. Wood is cooler.
Great looking out Steve! Anyone else would have condemned that unit!
“…tighter than 2 coats of paint!…” lol!!!
that condenser is 22 years out, I've seen older lennox unit run perfect down here is georgia.
Yup. I have a 27 year old Lennox in NJ. Never serviced. Even the capacitor is original. Still runs perfect year after year. All I do is keep it clean.
Aunt in GA has a Goodman even older than that that's still going. Rattles like hell, as any self-respecting old Goodman does, but it keeps going.
My Lennox condensing unit was 28 years old when the compressor gave up the ghost. For some reason, the company that installed the unit never installed a filter drier. I installed a drier when I fixed a leak on the suction line. The Lennox coil was in pretty good shape when I removed it and had never leaked.
Baby snake in the garage, and a micro ferret in the run cap. As Ted Cook says, you see a little of everything out here.
We see it all !!
@@TedCookHVAC you seem to see more snakes than I do.
great job steve
Good cheap equipment I installed hundreds of these units in North Carolina !
Goodman first two digits of serial is date of manufacture.
Lennox is 3rd and 4th digit.
Steven lavimonier I like your utube videos
Chalk 1 up for the Goodman mama.
Can't stop a Goodman. Nope
I think that guy Broder snuck over there in the middle of the night and ripped the wires off that compresser 😉 You can't stop a Goodman!
Great job and video like always. ( Steven )
Hi Steve. Made a suggestion a while ago about an LED light that fits the bill of your cap. It's about $20--25. Would increase your ability to get light on the problem and free up both of your hands.. Appreciate your explanations to show the solution and parts that solved the problem. And Miss Molly is absolutely adorable.
I’ve been using those LED caps for years. They are great for camping and working on furnaces.
A sign you've watched too many of Steve's videos is when you start recognizing areas in videos!
Even the GPS says - ‘Do you really wanna directions to this place - again?’.
That water tower is s real landmark.
Hello from the great state of Michigan
22 years not bad
150K. .....whoo-hoo !
Nice 👍✌️
New camera? Wicked clear.
You took good care of her. Customer for life right there.
It’s pretty obvious that Steve likes the Mr. Grinch more than Molly does.
She's a talker mama
Why the negativity around the Goodman? Made in Republic of Texas. Pretty common problem with that unit if it gets filled with leaves mice etc That unit will run for another 20 years.
most tech hate goodman ....... i have no issue with them ,,,they keep me busy working on them
I think Goodman’s bad rap comes from hack job installs more than anything else. The best system in the world will be garbage if it’s installed poorly.
Goodman systems are available to anyone, many other brands only sell systems to HVAC companies that have had some training. Every maintenance man, handyman, guy just looking to make some money can easily buy a Goodman system and try to install it, often those installs are very poorly done, often they don't know how to do it,, often these "installers" don't have the knowledge, experience or tools to diagnose problems; then real AC techs like Steve get called to cleanup the mess.
Goodman has had a lot of problems with evaporator coils leaking. That said some other brands had trouble with them leaking when they all changed over to 410a. Goodman just seemed to have more of the problem.
Goodman also had a problem with one joint leaking on the heat pump condensers. You can braze up the leak but you shouldn’t have to.
I agree Goodman sells to anyone and that does lead to poor installs.
@@davidnull5590 I couldn't have said it better. There's nothing wrong with the equipment.
I keep old compressor wires to pig tail better than crimp ons
Might be a good idea to stock up on compressor plug pigtails. A lot of the newer compressor plug harness are pure junk
That sounded like an AVE reference @7:51
Steve Lav's up to 150k Mama!.......and those snakes remind me of the same thing......
Baby Snake. Ex Wife. Dangerfield Stuff.
Snake reminds you of your wife! LMFAO! A wife and her lawyer would make TWO snakes, Steve! Good tip about not covering the whole unit in winter to avoid the green house effect. BUT that makes me wonder about the cover that I put over my window unit each Fall. A tech told me it would last longer if I did. Of course, ideally the window unit should be removed during winter. But that would be impractical for my situation.
great Steve to s u
She is so sweet. I love it. 💘
still no cap replacement this year...yet
I had two new Goodman's in the same year. Both failed regularly. Goodman would not send warranty parts for two weeks. I finally gave up and paid for a third a/c, a Carrier and hope Goodman rots in He ll.
I've never had a problem getting parts or filing warranty claims on goodman parts, except for maybe a period last year when everything was on backorder due to COVID. Really the only thing specific to Goodmans are the boards and fan motors in the high efficiency units and the coils. Compressors and fan motors and caps are all commodity items you can replace with anything.
A 3 fer!?
If a customer asks how much will it cost, I tell them. My hourly rate is $80, $100 if you want to watch, $130 if you want to help.
That woman’s a talker mama
Hey.... Thats the same house with the busted bib.....
And a rocking toilet!
Who's wireless setup are you using?
Can that wire be soldiered for extra security?
not safe to heat up post it could blow out at you and be a bullit
@@stevenlavimoniere Thanks Steve. Safety First!
Date of mfg. is feb. 1999
we gotta work on your in truck mic setup. its so tinny sounding. we need some noise cancelation! haha. love the vids mate
its all part of the youtube experience .
@@stevenlavimoniere thats the truth! Keep up the good work mate. Hvac tech from Atlanta georgia here 😎
I use same compressor flag connectors u use. They work good but gotta get a good crimp on them 🇺🇸🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
I have a 2006 3 ton Goodman paired with a 2ton evaporator, shes works so-so for AC, but locks out on high-head pressure for heating. I want to replace the evap with a 3ton coil and TXV valve but unsure on the performance.
Any idea why the mismatched coils were installed?
@@davidnull5590 Nope. I was told its ok by someone that does commercial HVAC.
that would work make sure you get a r22 txv
I can fix it.....maybe. nxt lvl mama
Where did u get that screw holder
AMAZON / EBAY
Harbor Freight $3.99
And they are the cat's meow (or Ms. Molly's bark)!
Lennox guy sold my dad a new ac unit in 2009 because of a burnt wire... it was the worst unit we've ever had, held a charge for 1 month at most. Had it refilled 3 times by 2015 when the Cap went bad. Morons in the house flipped the 30 amp breaker back on because they were running to many hair dryers/heaters/window AC units whatever wasn't there at the time. Compressor siezed. Some people. Replaced with a guardian 410a unit. Because the morons don't live here anymore.
11:18 Roach said who's there?
Tighter than 2 coats of paint!!! Lol 😆
Steve WITHOUT gloves???
She must have been sagging her baggy shorts, gangsta style mama.
What’s this Houston thing? You mean only people named Houston can have ignition? LMAO, I had to do it sorry. Steve you need to get a magnetic base umbrella for the shade, well worth the $60.
U bad but very good mama keep up the good work my man 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Tighter than 2 coats of paint😆😅🤣😂
that goodman is a '99
very easy
19:30
I commend You.
I would answer every question and find a nice pause[with comments] to keep moving. getting nothing done and ya have to bill'em
We got peoples life' on the line. Gotta stay focused. worked maint.(journeymen) for 38 years, and did the same shit 16 years before that {yes, i remember when i was 10}
So anyway, lmfao it's The # 1 that comes first. S a f t e y
ty, les
STEVE LAV do a Q & A please
i need to
are you always that honest you are a great man and your competion must hate you
Why does she need a new one, mama?
Why do you wear gloves ?
In a previous video he explained he does not like to get his hands dirty. Hence , the gloves.
We sleep at 68 at night AC runs just fine with this on upper level.
I'll be in the market for a new natural gas furnace, what's the best bang for the buck now days
Diakin FIT!!! We LOVE OURS!!
How come she would need a new system if a small repair was made and it works good?
did you see the furnace and coil down celer ??it old as shit
@@stevenlavimoniere yea I heard you at the end of the video talking about how old it is. Thanks for the videos Steve. Love the channel. I've done alot of work at my house that I learned from you.
@@stevenlavimoniere Indeed, it's old as shit but why does this stuff need to be replaced all the time? It's not there's a some huge break through technology with HVAC, and you yourself recommend inefficient old technologies? I'm looking the cost of replacement parts it's ridiculous, this crap being made by BMW or something? Why does replacing an AC system cost as much as a new engine in a truck? There's no way you are going to convince me that AC is as complicated as crate motor and AC unit is much simpler than a gas truck engine.
Always following a White van🤔
She's not a leaka
Molly love kiss'es??
It amazes me how Massholes turn the AC on when it is 70F outside?
Maybe they like lower humidity.
@@stanpatterson5033 Yep, it's the humidity. The dampness is uncomfortable. In this case they should get a dehumidifier.
she needed her ac fixed just happened to be a 70 degree day ... so ths masshole fixed it for her .. please try to restrain from being a complete asshole .
