Very straight foward and smooth call! I don't know if its just me, but cleaning the flame sensor is very satisfying. Also that inducer motor sounds like a blown civic engine idling.
You should try cleaning the sensors with emery cloth or a dollar bill. The sand paper and wire brush ones actually cause the sensor to get dirty faster and more issues with the rod.
Great video ! Like u say testing is Allways best. NOT TESTING = GUESSING. Also - like u say - it’s awesome to see actual results from a Test. Bad reading before. Good reading when new part is installed / cleaned etc.
Hell yeah. I do the same thing. If a customer decides to invest in an expensive repair I like to give them a little more value by checking gas pressure and cleaning up a few things for them.
id bet money the flame sensor wasnt the problem. most boards especially goodman will operate down to .7 micro amps without fault. inducer motor maybe, but id pull the control board off the mount and inspect the solder joints of the pcb relays. i find lots of faults there with intermittent problems. a quick dab of new solder with a hot soldering iron has saved my clients alot and saved me from call backs and waiting for a board replacement.
Supco flame rod cleaner. I keep one on each of my bags,I hang it off the zippers though to keep them clean. If you don't have that use a scotchbrite pad or fine steel wool. A dollar? Not cleaning much using a dollar bill. You can use the brown sandcloth with the holes in it as well just don't use blue monster sandcloth or actual sand paper since it has silica
@@hvacgoat9451 it looks like a duct was added because it wasn't tapped into the return plenum. Probably realized there wasn't enough return after the rough was done.
If the manifold gas pressure was not adjusted to manufacture specifications that will happen and also cause buildup on the burners and flame sensor. There should have been a lp sticker placed on the unit door for lp gas manifold pressure. The newer efficiency furnaces should be 2.3 iwc in low and 9.3 iwc in high fire.
Oh yeah I looked back on the video it’s wrong . Not being mean , you know a lot more about hvac than me . BUT that debris can get into a small orifices like txv or pistons . And mess up the whole system .
@@daygoingward918 oh gotcha, yeah, that makes sense. It would be better for sure if it was changed, but not too big of a deal. I'll keep an eye on the way gas hits the leg during its path of travel. Thanks
It’s between you and Curtis “HVAC GUY” for the residential Goat on YT.

Inducer sounds like its ready to give up the ghost.

4/0 steel wool works great also

This video saved me some real money. Thank you!

Good job , if I was in that area and needed my system repaired or replaced you would be the one that I would call. 👍
Why don't you use Hundred Dollar bills like Ted Cook?
Why use that cheap thing that scratches the flame sensor up.?

Good vid there, name of the angle bit driver attached to ur drill, if you can send an amazon link plz and thanks
Burner flames were nice and blue so I don’t think they’ll give you an issue. 👍
Great Video. Thank you for sharing
Great video once again. What brand is that angle adapter for the drill? Keep up the awesome work
Is there a reason you don’t put your company name on your van
This dude is HVAC famous. Probably doesn't want the attention. When you are HVAC famous, it's difficult to keep the ladies away. Lol!
Thank you Zac, a good easy job,a nice video 👍 Au
@QuaIityHVACR. Sure any time Zac
Hey what’s that red tool you use for the flame sensor
What was the tool you used to clean the flame sensor? I usually just use like a dollar

Nice vid man, nice company shirt too! We run those at the company I work for as well.
Do you know what brand is the shirt?

80,000 btu furnace with 12” return. Furnace needs more return.
It looks like there is a return duct on the left as well. I guess there are 2 filters in the blower compartment. Or maybe some filter grilles.
12" would be too small, but I saw 2 return ducts going to it

I could be wrong but i dont think thats a proper drip leg on the gas line ?
@quality hvacr….have you ever ran into a problem were a new system install was burning to much propane

everything can be done with knowledge, life is easier and more money
What is a good milli amp reading and a low milli amp reading on that rectification reading?
I prefer to use fine sandpaper
What was the name of that cleaning tool? Thank you
That inducer is missing a cooling wheel
If not a secret, what are you using to record? An iPhone or something else?
The inducer failed right after you left. Goodman quality
Lolll
did it trip on no flame off camera?
if you listen closely on the first fire it goes out immediately and starts the ignition cycle over
#1 issue with goodman is the guy installing is usually a hack.
The drip leg is wrong . For sure seen that on a couple of your videos
What's wrong with the drip leg?
@@hvacgoat9451 I could be wrong but doesn’t the incoming gas have to shoot straight into the drip leg . Hence catching the debris .

@@hvacgoat9451 keep up the great work/content ! Thanks for taking the time to read my comments!
How do you get away with filming in people's homes ?
if it fails on a no heat, replace it. if its dirty during a maintenance clean it.
