Customer was very polite . They are paying you for a service big money. They should get all the details so they understand what Mike is doing and prevention for future issues ahead of time.
I have a friend who hired mr mike and she said he is very honest professional and reasonable with his services. Highly recommend. No negative comments here just a thank you for your service and being an honest tech :)
👌🏼 keep up the good service! Several people want to talk about the price but 99% of the technicians that would have went out there wouldn’t have spent the time you did making sure the client was taken care of! Quality work isn’t cheap
@@davidparker9676 imo, replace now for that price. Or replace later when prices could go up and for a service charge. In my area, that's $250 starting. I'm a electrician, not HVAC tech. But my bias says this would be acceptable. A little more honesty maybe? He only said it was a recommendation.
@@swisscheese911 I don't disagree with recommending to replace it. I do disagree with lying to the customer and saying it is bad when it is not. I would tell the customer that in my experience it is on borrowed time and I recommend changing it before it fails on the next hot day. I would also tell the customer that if they do not change it now, it will be at a higher cost for another service call and trip charge. There is nothing wrong with a recommendation when the truth is told. I also don't have a problem telling the customer that a return "emergency" service call will be at higher emergency labor rates and parts prices.
I would say cleaning coils from the inside out is ideal, but how can you tell me with a straight face that from the outside in is impeding the coil? You would see that on your pressures right away.
I know that filter looked clean but looked to be installed backwards. I would pull the filter down and check the flow arrow too, as that metal filter cage/hold back is normally on the backside, sometimes both but it is there to hold the filter back from being sucked in.
Hey Mikey Pipes It’s a Trane . Don’t worry about the mess We were camping Last Year. Definitely no maintenance needed a wash down. Yes I would have recommended cap replacement because that heavy rust on top. It’s due to blow this hot week. Good work
just had an idea i also watch Fiber Installers. they take photos at each step and upload the photos to the service app. maybe that would help avoid people not plugging in capacitors.
The company that installed and services my generator does that. I can do everything they do but we are in So. Fl. Being on their maint. list gives you first priority if something breaks down. That's the only reason I do it. I service every other system myself. When they are done and they send you a link with all the pics it's very impressive.
Its ok? how bout that 31 degrees super heat? you think that is because of the long exposed line set? And one 16 inch duct for a 3.5 ton? crazy? On my 3.5 ton units I like to see two 16's Yo mikey good job guy
@Mike, I will go through your videos to find the answer my problem. I changed capacitor, everything is running fine but now thermostat getting hot and causing high temperatures on thermostat. It was fine before.
Why not use vacuum to get out leaves . Save your back and knees. You dud capacitance rest on capacitor what is the ua setting for I forget. Is capacitance microfarads or is that the ua setting
One last question on your PM HVAC visit with the replaced capacitor at $186.... If you weren't there doing PM Service.....but tou were called to visit and find out why the AC wasn't working (but NOT on a weekend nor an after hours callout)(say on a M-F during the workday) what would you have charged for the capacitor and your labor/visit to change it out? Just wondering? Thx.
Bro Craig listened to you almost scream at him about cleaning the the coil from the inside out and twice he still tried doing it from the outside in wtf?? Is my boy def or stupid or both??
you need to learn proper techniques for the trade. will YOU go out on a recall sunday in august to replace a dual cap for free? no, i didn't think so. it pains me how ignorant people are who live behind a keyboard attacking others who are successful in their craft.
@@PipeDoctor You could charge her a proper fee for cleaning, charge her extra for labor to come out on a Sunday, your trade is worth the market rate and more! It is about replacing an item that still works, still within brand-new specs (10%) that bugged me. 2 years ago my 40 year old AC had 45uF degraded to 38uF and it was still running fine. A 45uF measured at 41uF will not fail in 5 years or longer.
He has 20+ years of experience? He began to wash from the outside/in until you caught him 🤦🏻♂️ Million dollar question: Why did he leave you years ago?
That blower is weak sauce. It didn't clean much of anything. There was still a pile of leaves in the bottom of the condensing unit. I wouldn't pay for that "cleaning" service.
Mikey Mother Fucking Pipes. Hello Brother Mike. Stay save these attics are killing us. Been in one all week. Another one next week. Full systems with Ductwork etc
How to talk without actually saying anything or knowing anything. Also an example of a little knowledge being a dangerous thing. Should have just let those that know do their job. Observing is not always bad, but stay quiet and learn.
But Mikey wouldn't have known how to use the T-stat if she didn't explain. :) I have no idea how a man could live with a woman like that. I'm not being funny. You would either have to be medicated or deaf. Preferably both.
I live in AZ a dual compactor cast less than $20.00 I know New York rapes business contractors but charging 6 times more for a compactor is criminal. Special place in hell for stealing from people. Just shameful.
@@MoonRambo702 no off course not but 6 times plus more than the cost? Come on these are your neighbors. I added cost to my parts but never that high. I'm living a great life in retirement and have no guilt ripping off my customers. Shame on you contractors ripping off your customers a special place in hell for a life of luxury
Under 20$$ how is your company surviving lol. My company charges 206$ for a dual cap and 80 for just a run cap. The customer can easily change the cap themselves so if they don’t wanna pay they don’t have to
@@leoaz4667 I get where ur coming from, but this isn’t the 80’s. Life’s expensive, Employee’s are expensive. I charge a below avg $150, some around me are 200-300. A lot of people don’t count that we have to go buy all these parts and supplies, store them, drive around a mobile parts store. Almost 1000lbs of parts/supplies, overpriced tools in overpriced vans around to every job. Ur not only paying for the part, ur paying for the hands and expertise along with all the costs of running a business. When my actual neighbor needed a cap I gave it to him free. If it’s too expensive you can simply decline and DIY it.
Mikey pipes, considering I watch all your videos even to I can not stand your trump shit, lol…. Maybe you will help me with a little advice, Why does my new single minisplit in my great room like to freeze into a solid block of ice…… its annoying, not EVERYDAY, but often if I want to 68ish Yes filters are clear and clean, nothing blocking air floor, maybe the fins are dirty even tho I do not see and dirt…. 🤷🏾♂️
I listened to this twice...did I hear correctly? $186 to replace a capacitor while you were already on-site performing maintenance? If so, even with mark-up, etc, that is what gives repair people a bad reputation!!! I can already hear your rebuttable that I am not going to buy. Otherwise, I like your videos but again, the aforementioned, if I understood it correctly, is not right ....
Nope, I understand both Parts and Services.....also termed as making a fair profit and not gouging.....my opinion after 45 years of Project Engineering, etc. Have a great day.
Not to mention the cap was with in specs and didn't need replaced. There is a reason they allow plus or minus 10% plus didn't need coil cleaner,just needed washed out from inside out with water.
Yeah discount on maintenance is fair, but you guys saying 186$ is a lot must not pay any bills lol the cost of living is crazy these days…. Gotta adjust to stay afloat
Whatever you say there, Mr. big guy sitting behind the keyboard in your parents basement wearing your sister‘s panties I don’t go back to a service call next week next month in the middle of a heat wave to replace a capacitor that’s 7+ years old I replace during a p.m. Service call when it’s out of specification and like I said earlier, I don’t sell dual capacitors for $186 a service that we stand behind and guarantee for 24 months. Your sister can have three of your kids before my warranty is over. Mic 🎤 drop
Sir, you have the patience of a Saint dealing with these type of customers. Great job, love the videos!
Customer was very polite . They are paying you for a service big money. They should get all the details so they understand what Mike is doing and prevention for future issues ahead of time.
If the customer was an HVAC expert, they wouldn't be calling a professional plumber.
I am sure people get aggravated explaining things to you too.
I have a friend who hired mr mike and she said he is very honest professional and reasonable with his services. Highly recommend. No negative comments here just a thank you for your service and being an honest tech :)
Daniel is a True Professional and a Huge Asset to the Mike6 Pipes Team. 👍🙏
Couldn't agree more!
The filter was backwards. what happened to paying attention to your surroundings? 🧐
😂 I said the same thing
Didn’t even pull it out and educate the homeowner on the arrow direction
👌🏼 keep up the good service! Several people want to talk about the price but 99% of the technicians that would have went out there wouldn’t have spent the time you did making sure the client was taken care of! Quality work isn’t cheap
The capacitor wasn't out of range. It was still in tolerance. It would still be considered good until it read 42.3 mfd or below.
every capacitor i have tested has been right on the dot if its close to that 5% i change it
@@EP1CNELSON The point is that he knowingly lied to the customer instead of saying it is close to the lower side of spec.

New York for ya 😢
If she only cleaned half as much as she talks the house wouldn’t be cluttered
Yuppp shes one of them🤣 “uh huh, yeah, thats okay, alright, oh,” you start running outta words😂
