That electric meter is spinning so fast, it’s louder than all the units combined! 😂😂😂
Sounds like an airplane spooling up for take off 🤣
Wow - its an antique A/C Museum!
My wife heard you say shit show. She goes, that's what you say. I said I learned it from him. She told me I need classier friends, lol. It is a shit show! Thanks Steven!
not easy being cheesy .. you need to run with a better class of people i believe
@@stevenlavimoniere HAHAHAHHAAAAAA!!!!
Show her Molly in the video, she’ll change her mind….
I work at shit show next level
Tell her its good enough for this neighborhood
Been watching you for a few years, I retired 6 years ago, dont miss it...I loved the one where you were in the attic, checking voltages, homeowner removed face to t-stat without you asking...jacked you around, you went off...Public is a trip. Hitting subscribe button, thumbs up...I like the way you diagnose.
I see the Grinch rides with you too !!
Awesome find Steve. I'll bet she just calls you back to sort everything out. You saved her a bundle.
SEVEN R-22 UNITS?!
Looks like 'ol Steve finally found the Taj Mahal! 🤩💰💰🤩
Crusty units=job security 👍
Steve , you hit 150K ....finally !
had a customer i used to service 2 times a year who had 16 trane units in the house. took me and another guy all day to do the maintenance.
Holy cow
What was the Square footage of that house 😂
looked it up on zillow, its a 1.2 million dollar home with 6200 sq ft.
It must cost a fortune to run all those AC units
Easily 1000 a month and with them being old those compressors are probably running between 10-20 amps. Absolutely insane lol
7 AC's is insane! Wow!
@@repro7780 way better than the leaking 410 shit!!!
Really! Maybe the owner is collecting a fortune in rent.
Well there zoned so as long you are not cooling the entire home but just one room won’t cost much. But maintenance can be pricy on all those units
@12:29, you blew a rubber. Always use protection Steven.
Fauci would say "It`s even bettah to wear 2 or 3 pairs of gloves!" (Or rubbers)...
Circle the wagons man the house is surrounded by dinosaurs.
Yeah, a regular Jurassic Park!
Last time I told a lady “put your hand right here’s and feel”, I got arrested.
LMFAO! Did you say: "See how hot it is? That`s GOOD!"
That's the true "how ya doing"
lmao - good one
I got married
@@petero2693 LOL!
Well done, Steve! God bless!!!
I love this one! It's like a detective story. I hope these homeowners appreciate that instead of a new unit, all they needed was a couple of pounds of Freon and a $25 hard-start kit. You saved them a fortune, Steve. And I hope the homeowner's Dad especially appreciates how your expertise and willingness to do your best on every job is unusual these days in the business.
When I lived in Taunton I had one just like those. It kept leaking. Finally we found that the schrader valve had failed but when a gauge was on it it wouldn't leak. Took some time to find the leak.
Steve just saved that family lots on utility bill. Huge saving. That musta have been a really big old house to have so many units. I can't imagine how many tons total! Maybe 21 tons?
There zoned to 7 different rooms so you don’t have to cool the whole home if you don’t want too
@@ryans413 Pre- mini split system setup. It's very interesting.
9:35 "somebody get a garbage bag",. :crickets, lmao
Love your videos Steve. Informative and a touch of humor. Good stuff.
House that huge needs little air cooled chiller pump chilled water to AHUs . More cost efficient for her
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. All the units need a hi ya doin’ mama!
Sounds just like a job I did on the heating side it ended up being a bad zone valve keeping the heat running, stuck wide open on the end switch.
Keep up the good work Steve 💪.
Near 1 hour commercial came on but I was able to watch a good part of it. Thanks Steve!
Well done Steve you did the job, 👍😀 and it will be very interesting to see the follow up on the multiple thermostat loops - if you ever get the call back. That homeowner has got significant investment to make pretty soon when those condenser units finally turn their toes up.😳
Keep it up Steve, I learned a lot from watching your video. I am studying HVAC right now. Thank you for sharing the video.
Nice job and video like always ( Steven )
Gotta love when you come and fight all day to fix one thing and then another fucking problem starts
Nice work
Your a good guy steve!
I am just a ham and egger but a renter was complaining about the AC not cooling. The AC compressor was running, the AC was blowing, so, I didn't know what was going on. The AC guy, who may have had a drug problem, said it was fine. The property manager wanted to buy some sort of portable AC unit. I told him he was crazy because he had an operational system and told him to have someone who knows what he is doing look at it. Sure enough, the guy said the heat and AC were running at the same time but I don't know how he fixed it. It was a hot air system, I don't know. The AC and gas were all firing at the same time. It did have one of those fancy wifi thermostats
Hopefully all those air filters and indoor coils were clean prior to charging units.
You’re absolutely correct. Specially with 20-year-old units. You have to check that evaporator coil. I believe Steve is a much better plumber than he has AC technician but I understand in his part of the world they only use air conditioning a couple months out of the year so a big part of his business is just gas and go and will deal with it next year is the customers attitude
Nobody wants to clean evaporators..sins of the industry
That must be a huge house. Good job getting her squared away.
Just me, but i would have pulled all the thermostats off the wall and then checked the heat zone pumps. If it turned off, reconnect each one until i found the bad one. 😊
About a minute into the video it sounded like someone hopped in the shower. lol
I love you telling her to get a garbage bag a pick up the leaves. Lmao
U the man! Love ur videos n ur dog 🐕
They need a leaf blower.
Friendly FYI …. If condenser is dirty with high sub cooling it will cause it superheat to also run high.
Those turds need to be carted off to the dumpster ASAP!!
Well you did a hell of a lot better than the other two guys. 👍👍👍👍. It's all to easy to say the units are no good without even having a good look 😯😯
The landscaping plumber.Good job.
A service call with 7 units. That's an all day job and maybe a second day.
Wow 😳 that is A lot of a/c units. ✌️
Great work as usual Steve. Makes you wonder about the motivation of other HVAC techies who rather than problem solve, just recommend replacement.
I usually offer to fix it as well as a estimate of replacing. It’s the customer’s decision. I will not dumb refrigerant into a empty unit though. That’s a waste of gas and harmful.
Congrats on the 150k subs.
Nice save, it may be the dry contacts in the Air Handler causing it to run for heat. What leaves out there holy smokes.
@26:28 is why you have a following of over 150,000 subscribers and a ton of call back customers. Nice work Steve. Thanks for the upload!
Congratulations! 150 Subs* Very Entertainment Video! 5*****!
Thank you very much!
Heat & cold at the same time, I've traced it to a 'bad' thermostat in the past. Pull the thermostat off problem not there, checked wires ok, thermostat in oil mode connects cool & heat together!!! Switch it to electric -- A ok. I've seen it more than once!
Holy hell how have they managed to have all units and not had to replace any of them?!
Blowing the leaves from hell around those units would be so satisfying!
That must be a big place to have all those units.
Steve is sweet on the nanny.
The guy didn’t want to mess with it. So he said it needed to be changed out. Oldest trick in the book. Seen you say this as well Steve.
Spending the price of a new unit on repairing a 20 year old unit isn’t worth it. Anything can be fixed, sometimes it just makes no sense. Put that money into new equipment. Usually I’d get it by until it needs major leak repairs, coils or a compressor. Hard start kits aren’t expensive
Our hvac on air side died a few weeks ago guy said we need a new unit, the board is bad and he cant get one they dont make them any more. This was a 20 min. visit(just trying to figure out how he could have tried to find one that fast) I found new board 30 mins later. And it didnt cost me $7000 for a new unit.
All them Ac units, Man that Electric Meter must sure be a runnin", High bills i would bet, That a Mansion or a house?
At first I figured you were talking to the homeowner, but then realized it was some sort of staff
Got to see Miss Molly twice.
Another great video!!
When do you have time to edit these videos?
wow if you can afford 7 air conditioners you could afford a yard cleanup person to get rid of the leaves LOL
I feel good about how clean mine is after seeing these I wash coil couple times every year and clean up all the leaves in and around unit
Wonder how long the heat has been going non stop. Looks like masssave gives you a lot of business!
before & after work i watch your vids, invaluable learning tool...that working mans turkey vid was awesome!! One of the greatest assets to the trades in the US!!
Ran a red light? I figure Mass has cameras.
The yellow only was yellow for 2 seconds. It's messed up for sure.
7 AC units. Insane.
Image if that guy who comes out and starts cutting and disables units, saying they all need to be replaced came out to that place... Good job, hope they call you back to trouble shoot thermostat wiring, would like to see the issue
With all those leaves, mice and chipmunk s would hang around and causes problems when they chew on wires !!
Do you ever locate and repair the refrigerant leaks???
had the same problem with a oil fired boiler the summer time circulaters start running rad. are banging called oil co. THEMOSTATT had some solder connections that should not have changed the therm all was fine.
Hard start like a old buick in the cold
I'm noticing that sone of your AC customers need to call the gardener before they call you. What s the electric bill for a house with 7 AC systems?
Yeah that's exactly what I was going to say I don't think they ever covered them condensers. Rust buckets.
$1600 per month has to be
Imagine the oil bill with zone calling 24x7
Imagine the cost to upkeep that house. Tax bill in MA is prob what my house payment is.
Easy $700 in Freon. R22 is gold
That house is big with 7 units
I wonder if you pulled all of the thermostats off than try to connect that red wire again and see if Zone 2 turns back on, if it doesn't then start putting the thermostats back one at a time until zone 2 turns back on?
Hello all.
I'm sincerely hoping that those systems aren't all on the same electric bill. If they are, I think I'd have to take out a 2nd job, just to run them. Then there's the oil bill, for the boiler that could have been running for months...
Are they storing dead bodies in that building. 7 units.. they have one for each room. Amazing how much that must have cost to install.
MASS SAVE again? They will come in and get you heat in the summer and cooling in the winter. Next, we will be adding HVAC and air conditioning the Arctic Circle with wind turbines!
How'd ya like to get that contract, Steve? Replace 7 AC's? wow. Piper is gonna come calling for those beasts soon enough.
Steve replacing 7 split systems! Whew that's 60/70gs what he'd say :)
My AC and furnace was replaced in 2019 after 31 years. Those looked like shit, mine still looked good. Glad I went HE as my bills are half what they were.
Is that house not insulated at all??
If each unit is 3 tons or 36,000 btu times 7 , that is 21 tons of ac in that house OMG.
They got to be going broke just paying the electric bill !!!
There has to be a much more efficient way to do it than this.
You should bring a leave blower along with you for these types of jobs.
Gotta put cheese on those 'shit sandwiches' to keep 'em together!
The thermostat switch was on oil or gas. I think it should be switched over to heat pump. Check the back of the thermostat again.
Mass Save is gonna save the planet Mr. Grinch!
Just wondering how much did you charge for all the units?
I wonder if they have their own transformer. I could see where a 2 phase might be a little more efficient delivery instead of placing all those amps on a single phase leg. I'd sure hate to swap energy bills with those people !
How much more efficient are modern AC units compared to those old ones?
Most of the units here look to be 10 seer units. The standard “modern” ac is usually 14 seer but, you can get units where the seer rating is in the 20s. 10 seer units cost just under a dollar per hour while the 14 seer units cost about 0.65 $ to run a hour
Must get some salt air in that area judging by all the rust on those units.
I think Steve said that there is.
Coulda hung a pitcure on the wall and Bam! hit the wire.
if steve cant fix it its deffo beeped
What's a hod stot ?? I love Boston.
My electric bill $1500 need more AC units
Was that a day care center, or just an old big house?
Surprised she didn't have a backup unit for each of the seven . (what was the story on this place ? )
man she must have a very big house for 7 AC units ?
Give her a little douche of the dinosaur juice MA MA MA. That be a good one for your next T-shirt
What brand of hoses are you using with your Sporlan's, I've been looking for some short hoses like those?
i found them on ebay
@@stevenlavimoniere Found them, much appreciated.
Did you know that cleaning leaves is good for the planet? Planet saver.
Wow welcome to the shit show nice job Steve is a real working man mama
Why does it seem to be a common thing up north to have to or more a/c units? Just curious.🤷🏻♂️
Good question...My guess is that they are so acclimated to cold winters that when a heat wave hits (anything above 80 degrees) it must feel like Death Valley to them.
Is it better to have expansion tank vertical, horizontal or either way?
Been in the trade 20 years. They can technically go in any direction, but I try to keep it vertical for the weight, in case they fill up (and they do when they fail). The weight can break off the pipe if installed horizontal and flood the place.
Just support it and you're good to go whichever way.
@@purplegoose7907 thank u 4 the info
The thermostat had a sliding switch and was set to oil/gas not to electric/heat pump
