They need to call a cleaning company to clean their yard, I don't know if it's ignorance or arrogance, or just plan laziness, to live that way.......Good job Mike...
before you know it will be like on an episode of hoarding buried alive
It's fun watching the man deal with tuff situations.
And I love tough situations that handle Mike...ohhhhhhh😮
I'm never disappointed when I click on one of your videos. Man, the hackery outside and in that utility closet, good God almighty.
That’s exactly the words I use in the same situation when I talked to the client, good job Mike
Let's be real the contractor that installed those units weren't intending on coming back to service them.
They never expected biden to win and they could stay.
You are darned right.
That's a nightmare inside and out. Goodtimes doing a changeout. Great video
Tell me about it
Hey Mike, people say the homeowner chose to do it the cheaper way around things and stuff like that but at the end of the day it’s the contractor who suggested the idea for there bad decision not knowing the long term effects and people make terrible decisions when it’s 95 degrees out.
Exactly. How about Do Your Job right the first time.
Thank you very much for your feedback
Caveat Emptor. You know damn well if you get a great “deal” there’s some research that needs to be done. There are good contractors and there are bad contractors. It’s not our job to police other companies. It’s YOUR JOB as a purchaser to do your due diligence when shopping for a contractor. The number of jack installs I’ve seen paid for by customers that thought our bid was “too high” (spoiler where I work we always come in at the lowest bid of all of the legit contractors, honestly we don’t keep our prices as updated as we probably should for the bottom line). Too many people are more worried about the best “deal” than paying for the best work.
Adding refrigerant with the sealer and dye is best and easiest way to find the leak especially on a shitshow like that
Hack? Hardly. A professional with character? Exactly
Not a hack . If the customer tells you add refrigerant after you explain that it can leak out in a day . Well it’s on them .I just had a R22 I told the customer $1500 just for r22 . But there getting prices on a new system .
Agreed. Explain options.
Why not use that 42 stuff? It's only $60 lb.
@@robertsmith2956you talking about m099/r438a? I rate it but nothing beats the r22

to quote your mate, this ain't no taj mahal followed with a quick, she's a leaker! 🤣
Dont blame you for the gas and go mikey, that attic looked like a nightmare, what a ridiculous mess of systems stuffed into that bitch lol
The washing machine was a nice touch behind this mc mansion!😂😂😂😂😂😂
finally......i was waiting on a comment on the W/M
Looks like an LG WM4000 (or 3900 maybe).... those are nice machines! 1,300 rpm spin, direct drive, cleans significantly better than the average american top-load laundry-soup-machines... but if customers are bozos and leave the shipping bolts in, they'll end up in someone's back yard 90% of the time! lmao
you're doing exactly what needs to be done
I suscribe today but i watch ur videos before....u got a good heart like me u like to help customers but sometimes we cant. A messy house...no way...i saw this video n feel ur pain i do this every day Hey what happen to the spanish kid from Nicaragua in the other video? I kno is hard but if people come here to work as i did in the 80 s they are welcome but they must work n respect this bless great USA or else...i m spanish but believe in Do not hurt the home of the guy who is helping u....bless u Mike
U would be millionare in Fl ...promise.
That was an omen when the temp gauge read 666
Get 'r' Done! 😎👍
‘N Go
Mike that job is a nightmare give you a lot of credit I would’ve walked away
if you walk away from every job like that you gonna be out of work lol
@@Lewdacris916 yes and no.. I know this I would put your sticker on those units because your no hack.
Not a fan of the “leak sealer” the ol radiator sealer idea. If it’s really gonna find a pin hole & seal, why wouldn’t it plug or at least restrict a piston metering device. Can it not bond to brass only copper? I simply don’t agree with introducing anything but refrigerant to a system.
Mike, in Illinois not stopping for a school bus: First offense - mandatory minimum fine of $300 and 3-month suspension of driver’s license. Second offense or subsequent conviction
within five years - mandatory minimum fine of $1,000 and one year suspension of driver’s license. A motorist cited for illegally passing a school bus is not eligible for court supervision.
Keeping it real Mikey P ... Thx
Wow just wow 😮
Dude's house is big/nice enough that it has 15+ tons of cooling but the yard looks like a junkyard. Which is where some of those condensers probably belong, really.
Yeah, I totally agree. Can’t fix stupid.
That place is a DISASTER!!! Am I have seen some real F ups but that one takes the cake!! Great job getting them some cool air !!!
I did my best and the two hours that I was there solo
This whole house gave me anxiety, especially the back yard.
No, that was just a side yard
This IS a house of HORRORS for any HVAC tech‼️
It's hard for me to feel bad for people like that. They paid the contractor they deserve to install that mess. Looking at the crap all over the homeowners are at least 50% of the problem.
Casually working with a Cuban braclet baller 🤘🏽
Heard the planes and LIRR. Nice junkyard. Climbing over that crap to service it.
I’ve had multiple leaks on those guardian or York microfin junk coils, all of them were 3.5 ton units
Every time I see a micro channel coil game on all bets are off
LOVE the hat on the dash!
God bless America 🇺🇸
Love the Wagos! I finally discovered they sell the bags of them.
Nobody in New York really needs AC.
yeah grew up on window units
What a friggen disaster!
Mike love from Oregon, love the content!
How is another ac unit turning on , why say that's very helpful
I’m wondering how good the easy seal really is. My boss doesn’t like it so we don’t use it often. But it sure would be nice to be able to fix a leak with something so easy. I mean as long as it’s not in a unit still under warranty
If the unit is still under warranty it’s best to locate the leak and replace that component that has failed. Otherwise it’s a good idea to try EasySeal once.
Can you show a more thorough explanation with those measuring devices what each reading is and what it shows . What it means and what measurements you are looking for it to be or get to, while doing it. So we can learn it while you show it. Thankyou.
That Nassau county police commissioner probably pockets that ticket money

On low or empty systems I won’t add Freon unless a sealer with UV dye is installed also. It’s a 105$ upsell and is needed. 25+ years licensed hvac contractor.
70% of the time it works 100% of the time. Lol
i think they took a page out of the automotive engineering concept , i.e. burry the equipment , and specifically in the cars case put the heater core and evap in the dash requiring a complete tear down to acces
Or just like some tankless combi’s
I would tell them I can't work until they clean first. Secondly there has to be a better way. Looks like everything needs to be gutted and start over.
one thing you forgot to put your sticker on the system lol j/k
No way Jose
that outdoor panel put back on by the kid that couldnt figure out the fisher price plastic shapes in holes toy
Rotfl 🤣 best comment
Saw the 2nd one first, the landfill!, owner probably buying used units with different control covers.
Good being a mensch, no schvitzing preferably.
What a mess!!
Wasn’t that other outdoor unit next to it a little close also
Got to do what you got to do. Eventually they will have to spend some stacks, and hopefully you get the job.
It was me or someone else at least it was me who got the job done and got paid
Let’s not let the homeowners get away that easy. A lot of times the home owners go with the cheapest bid, and as the old saying goes u get what u pay for.
It is what it is at least it was I who fixed the problem, the immediate problem and got paid accordingly
He sees hack wiring being install and the same thing🤣
8:50. Wow whoever hacked this in went crazy. The unistrut in front of the blower compartment like cmonn😭
667 thumbs uP Hacks bring you stacks. Imagine the cost of fixing every one of those systems.
Thanks
glad I don't have central air, just window units easy to keep them going and easy on the wallet.
Oh, come on man that’s like white trash
Greeting from Arlington, Va!. We've been in a tiny brick house for 30 years with nothing but window air conditioners. The house was built in 1939 and has hot water radiator heat. Window units are the ultimate zone cooling that drown out the neighborhood racket when your sleeping! We have a vertical casement window air conditioner in the basement from the 80's that is still workin', just like Mikey Pipes. The great thing about window units is they never all die at the same time. When we lost power due to a storm several years back, we plugged our bedroom window a/c into the neighbors house that still had power and lived with our kid for 5 days in a tiny room. When we build an addition, its going to have central and be done right! Thanks Mikey Pipes! Being a pro is making the most of what you have...
Customer makes the decision 😂
I’ve had nothing but positive outcomes using easy seal. No call backs, no more leaks. That stuff is great.
Oh, I guess you are an exemption because it doesn’t work 100% of the time but something is better than nothing
Does it work on split systems or are they too small?
What a god dam mess that entire setup is from he outside units to the indoor units.
Holy shit that equipment is a mess. Too many ‘handy’ men.
Nah man youre no hack. No one would leak search that unit in those conditions , that was horrendous!
Jeez, what a mess. Just throw another system in.
Mike. Please don’t film yourself climbing a ladder with one arm. That’s extremely unsafe and dumb. We don’t need to see ever part of your service call pal 😮
0:23 Anyone who intentionally passes a stopped school bus with its red flashers and stop arms out needs to he handed a hefty fine at minimum! That's someone whose recklessly endangering the safety of children. I have to disagree with you on that being just another "tax", that is something completely different than the usual "taxes", at the very least it's not a tax in the same sense of sales tax, income tax, property tax, etc.
Is that osha approved duct tape on that ladder? Or painters tape? 😂
That sucks having to work on a house. It’s been hacked up like that.
FUBAR!
LOL YUP
I purchased extra refrigerant when it was cheaper just for these situations, money is money
Was there a time when it was cheaper?
Say what you will, i love the gritty real life situations you find yourself in on the daily! Just gotta do what you gotta do, not everything can be “by the book”.
What a abortion of an installation in that attic…
its only going to get worst,,.master plumber & licenced hvac contractor in pittsburgh,,
Do you ever hook up your condenser wire at furnace board to the Y/Y2 terminal? I thought y1 was low stage fan
So you opened both valves on the gauges to charge it without turning the unit on, that's ok? No need to have the unit on?
Correct. No. The unit does not need to be running to fast dump a charge like I did. Afterwards, let pressures stabilize- then fire it up
@PipeDoctor got it...thanks for replying. I appreciate what you do and all your videos... MIKEY FUCKING PIPES!!!
Is that a house? Why all the A/C units? Place is a pig pen.
Get that money
A homeless encampment is cleaner than this place.
Wow...i dont know how big the house is, but central air didmt seem like a good choice for a space that tight
No, they need to just give me a blank check or the platinum card and have go at it
127.50 / lb or 87.50 /lb for some lightly used recovered 410 juice.
Unfortunately it was a contractor that had the mindset of , IM NOT THE ONE THAT WILL BE SERVICING THIS UNIT SO WHO GIVES A FK ABOUT EXTRA EXPENSE TO PROPERLY INSTALL!!
It’s like getting chemo when you know you have no future but maybe you’ll get a tiny bit of time out of it 🤷♂️
If you blow through a stopped school bus with the red flashers i think 250 is way too small of a fine.
Even though other people's work looks like sh_t, you should always make your work look professional and nice.
And that is the reason why I took a few extra moments and zip tied the new thermostat wire
That inspector must of been a DEI hire.
"Filter, been here 5 years never knew there was a filter to change..." oh okay
Man you did great, with the garbage your given. No hacks here making garbage work isnt easy.
How did it freeze if the condenser isn't on.
They wired systems to wrong air handler probably during a bad repair
@@PipeDoctor 😂 gosh how did I miss u sayn that but thanks for the up.
TRUMP 2024
Amen 🙏
I don't understand why people spend that much money to get a system installed and then fail to do easy routine maintenance i.e. keeping it clean.
Forget about routine maintenance there’s no way to perform maintenance on these systems
What happened to the Unit you started video with frozen coil? Video started on unit with frozen Suction line to condenser with wrong access panel attached. But then serviced unit behind it. Was it a 2 for 1 scenario?
That service call scheduled for tomorrow
The outside area looks like a dump, I can't believe that other companies just leave their sh_t on the ground like that.
You have to understand that hacks in their true form and fashion. Don’t give two shits.
A bill is a hundred and a stack is a thousand
Charged this guy 2 stacks lol
Hey man we see this hackery stuff all the time as REAL professionals but professional work costs a lot of money and it sucks but the customer is usually at fault, they need to do at least a little bit of research and inspect the system after installation and before final payment. its unfortunate, but its a reality
This is as real as it gets
10 lbs of shit in a 5 lb bag there!!

Hi 👋
Gefilte fish
Hacks bring me stacks
I see you stopped by the Butcher Shop today
Woodrows still there/ ? At Pen shopping strip? Grab me a potato kanish. lol
I love how people here are trashing the people's property, most of you probably live at home w mom and dad. In HVAC you never criticize others work even if it's bad that shows a lack of professionalism. However it was a terrible install and worthy of a replacement. I love when people do a bad install it cost more for me to fix it than for me to do it correctly the first time.
I totally agree and there are keyboard trolls, and that is their primary job because they live in their parents basement and they wear their sisters panties
I'm more interested in why there are so many units. poor mans zone control. LOL
That was a house ??? I thought it was a junk yard
lol
What a mess. Looks like a fire hazard to me. I would turn around and run. Or tell him to let you clean up this mess and make it right.
An absolute disaster
Place looks like a junk yard.
It is
my old boss was like that, his yard looked like a dump, so much old equipment rusting and breaking down like a scrap yard
