I have been behind that company multiple times. They only wanna sell new systems. Always take advantage of the older customers who tend to trust the techs in their homes. Gives us all a bad name

Wait till you do this to a unit where the clogged water gets sprayed all over ceiling tiles and you’ll change your mind about your procedure

Unpopular opinion here. Huge ego to talk about another company just based on price, then perform a call for 1/3 of the other company cost and then have the customer breathing down your neck.... Then explain your diagnosis as you're doing it.... Hell no

The HVAC industry is trending neck and neck with car salesman

I am a tech. But if somebody tried to rip me off like that I would helicopter too.

I hate companies that rip off customers to make a buck or two. Then not do the work they are Suppose to do. If I was the customer I would file a complaint against his license and the BBB.

Locally we have new D-bag companies (not dirt bag_ that hire only Sales Techs, they show up in clean white shirts and go straight to condenser, Mam, you need a whole new system its over 8 years old w/o removing anything, just looking at data plate, they usually get run off but mad h/o doesn't want to give them their svc charge. Our facilities company hired one that had been fired and he wanted every unit he was sent to to be replaced by someone else, got canned real quick.

That's how you run a service call.Great job!

What's with the Carolinas? You & Ted both seem to encounter some real ethics problems. I hope you get her business now.

Excellent video all techs should watch to see good interaction with the customer. Well done!

👍👍🇺🇸👀

👍

Nice video man as always

Just what I need...An a/c that does regens.....

Expensive crap.

Absolutely right Charles the homeowner is not really saving but paying 50 dollars a month if something breaks thats 600 dollars a year they are spending when they would be better off paying thier local hvac contractor they trust the 100 to 150 a year for a maintanence service contract. And charles aftermarket consenser evap coils and compressors for old systems are still going to perform better than rebuilt remanufactured stuff heck I can work faster than those companies in finding parts for old systems. And then just pay the hvac company to put it in if it's, worth it. But you are absolutely right it comes down to find a competant hvac company you trust and can work with if those issues arise.

Yikes. I stick a vacuum on and 90% of the time it pulls anything and everything in there especially after I get the clog out I chase it with really hot water. For the times that doesn’t work, blow nitrogen inside out, then vacuum still to clean the damn thing. Oh and prime your drain lines…

Why do you hate mini splits? Once it’s reflared correctly it shouldn’t leak… right?

Nice work 😮😊

ARS , the RS stands for reaming service.

You got to take care of the guy with contacts for your retirement business

What merv filter rating for mobile home HVAC systems. 3.5 ton.

You could check the amps on herm and f,log it and next time you will know if the capacitor is ok.2 cents.nice work.

I love the Viper bag's of coil cleaner!!! They have a NO RINCE FORMULA, BUT ALLWAYS BEST TO RINCE IF POSSIBLE.

Lazy af your backflow Ing debris and dirty water onto your coil for it to clog up in the future

It’s like the city electric company blocking electricians from upgrading panels and doing half their job

I only install over complicated, overpriced krap like that on my own house. Customers get minimum SEER equipment from now on.

I got a Trane / American Standard too. Do not recommend. An HVAC tech that came out could not get a hold of tech support either. I'm going to replace it with a regular single speed unit.

Great tip!

MaYBE SOME REFRIGERANT ?????? I COULD SNITCH ON YOU AND GET 10K AND YOU COULD LOOSE YOUR LICENSE AND RECEIVE A FINE OF 45K 😁

YES IT IS COMMUNISM that is what this country is headed toward

Yeah, if I saw this out in the field I’d tell the customer good luck and have a nice day 😅

I remember being told that these hvac manufacturers were trying to emulate the high end car market years ago in a dealer meeting by some outside sales rep for a particular hvac brand. He warned the whole room back then with all of these constant SEER increases and refrigerant changes we were going to rapidly see change in the industry. Pack as much tech into machines as they can and make it all proprietary so that way only specialized dealers can work on and install a particular brand. This will raise up the cost of the equipment and demand premium prices for equipment. Then, people will need to finance the equipment because they can no longer afford to purchase the stuff outright. This will also drive up the want for customer's to purchase labor warranties to help protect them while they are paying for a system that they can't afford. 5 - 7 years ago, it was rare to see someone that needed financing to purchase a piece of HVAC equipment. Now 90% to 95% of people have to get financing in order to heat and cool their homes because they don't even have enough money in the bank to buy one. The only people making big money are hvac manufacturers, banks financing these systems, and third party insurance carriers on these labor warranties because their reimbursement rates to contractors are garbage. They are designed to be upgraded every 12-15 years now because to fix them outside the warranty period will cost an absolute fortune due to the rise in service related parts and the fact that refrigerants keep getting phased out every 15 years. It is a wild world and it is only going to get worse. Thanks for the video. Stay safe out there.

Lol cooled circuit board suction line goes through the board. That thing is a nightmare!!!!

hmmm i think that defies right to repair laws they passed lately

Maybe they should hang up the phone and take a drive to this residence and show you how its done.

buy basic none of this high tech poop

looks like trane 2024 is the new brown turd just like 2005 goodman

that looks like the(reactor) noise filter(torodal inductor) installed on the incoming Line power, before it goes into the inverter drive. Washers, refrigerators, minisplit, and even brushless tools use them. It needs to become a prerequisite before selling a customer an inverter driven system, if there are known power surge, brown out or excessive supply line noise. Don't install one of these! i wouldn't be surprised if special power filtering requirements come about as well as dedicated ground requirements for these unit. I would look into installing single phase load reactors on these.

Let’s thank the EPA and federal Government for this overpriced Junk !!!!!!!

It's crazy how manufactures put all these circuit boards in a unit that's outside. Place your laptop computer in that unit and you would be lucky to get a couple months before it fails. Things never have to be this complex. That system is plain garbage.

They will go the way of plasma TVs , and I’m a TV repair man .

They are not just sitting behind a desk and computer. They are also sitting in front of a spreadsheet. They know what every single item costs and they are doing whatever they can to maximize profit by refusing everything but the absolutely necessary replacements. As in no two ways about it, and it won't operate a day longer with an alternate repair.

I miss the days when I was young and stuff was made to last until you die. Today everything is made to fail and you have no real options. Then the same companies creating these dumpster products lecture me about driving or eating a hamburger saying I need to "fight climate change".. My local dump has so many new products just piled up because everything brakes and is made expensive to repair by these same dam companies. Sick of it.

Trane is hot garbage as a Florida AC contractor wouldn’t sell it to my worst enemy… have worked on a bunch of them though always annoying…

Just replaced 3 zone dampers with board and stats today. It sucked. The owner insisted on zone. Long day

More complicated garbage no offense Charles but at least I see what looks like thermal paste. There enough with the American companies and proprietary stuff while Charles I guess pretty soon hvac will have to go to computer school and take soldering class and flux class and computer programming just to work on these systems. Your right sounds like communism to me. Where trane only guys can touch these systems and I guess trane too only wants thier dealers to sell trane not more than one brand so not right hvac companies should be able to sell what brands and systems are best for thier customers.

Cant stop a Trane its all you work on . if it was not for a Trane problems you would have no channel

Trane has become another participant in preventing the right to repair.

The only things that belong between the thermostat and condenser should be high/low pressure switches and a float safety switch.
