Potential Relay must be installed with proper orientation, they will show an arrow or designated to top. If installed incorrectly they will fail to disconnect the starting capacitor from the compressor causing potential failure.

If you buy this you deserve the results. Even the smallest amount of research says this is a bad idea from almost every expert that sees it.

Thanks so much for this video. it was so helpful.

Awesome Job.. Thank you very much for teaching this Electric Newbie a thing or 2…🙏🏻🙏🏻

The mysterious number on the wago connecteurs is 11 …. millimetres

FYI - pulling out that power clip, some are designed to be flipped either way so YMMV.

I use that exact filter because the static pressure of the 3m basic and many of the cheaper filters was higher and they barely filter properly. The cheaper filters have much less filter material and less pleats, so less surface area for the air to move through. AC companies could do everyone a favor and install grills that can take a 2- or 4-inch filter instead of the crappy 1-inch filters.

Never worked for me ,voodoo

Wow! Thanks so much!

I did this but using a 9v battery.

Where did the red wire go? It was on the upper left, and than it disappeared.

Very cool idea! My wife and I love it! We’re definitely going to do something similar to this!

Love the pool noodle best!! Use them for all kinds of things.

So, buy a higher MERV filter and put extra stress on your furnace motor - definately a bad idea

I’ve been building a smokeless pit this weekend based off of your first video, the things I did differently from yours is dug down 8” and did two tiers of blocks in ground and then at ground level started my my spaced blocks, just waiting on the concrete big to come in from Amazon so I can install that. My last step will be to put cap blocks all the way around the top of the pit to dress it up. All in I spent about $500 but that’s also including crushed stone for a 14’ diameter stone patio going wrong the fire pit.

Thank you and God Bless😊🙏

Absolute truth. I used to get the real expensive filters and they burned out my motor which was expensive. I do merv 7 now…. Can’t find the 6 anymore

I don’t know if he did this for illustration purposes, but he never fully plugged in the “dead” one. I heard the click on the second one, but not the first. He even used his thumb on the second one to make sure it was plugged in.

Thanks it was the sensors aw !! now I can go out on my motorcycle and just press control remote and keep going thanks man

I'm just starting out repairing my house your video was AWSOME Thank you for explaining things in great detail however quickly without all the BS Here I go 5 outlets to change...

Not sure if you're a certified Journeyman electrician but I thought that I would offer another way that I find much safer to ensure you have the correct conductor wire on the correct switch location on your double switch. With the power off and all your wires unconnected hanging loose. Take one of your wires either red or black and have it make contact with the ground conductor at the ceiling fan and then at the switch location take that same color wire and using the ohms resistance toner on every electrical meter you could simply tone out that wire. For the sake of KZbin videos and showing other people I thought I would mention this because when it comes to electricity you can never be too safe especially when showing other people what to do. I mean no disrespect I've just been at it for a long time and maybe you have to and already know what I'm talking about

Thank you this helped a lot.

Helped my family and I out as well. Was just about ready to call a plumber but you generously sharing your knowledge saved me a lot of time and money today. Thank you, thank you!

I actually use a bit of dishwasher liquid with water in a lawn sprayer and spray from the inside and outside. I follow up with a good rinse. First wash was two years ago when the unit was five years old. It actually looked pretty clean but decided to do it after watching several videos.

I have a home that I built in 1992 is about 2000 SQF and has a whole house heating and cooling system on the roof (California type install). I have been all over KZbin and the advise by installers and people who service is the same as yours. I have a little bit of a problem that appears difficult to deal with. My air return is a rather large size being 20X30X1 what I noticed upon serving the system is that much of the service area is not used all that much. It is very clear that about 2 to 3 inches on each side is not used and remains clean and the middle is where the dust and dirt accumulates. I was thinking about using a 20X30X1 electrostatic filter as a base and getting the merv8 8 filter material to use on the outside of that as I need a base. Though It is probably way cheaper to just use a merv 8 is easier, if I can find them in the size I need. That is not all that easy, perhaps online.

All those words an nothing about which connection is the most solid and most surface area. Just garbage comparison

Sooo, what do you recommend for people who cannot afford a stand-alone filter, the people who don’t need to watch after 5:50. ? Filtrete (anyway), or Fiberglass Air Filter MERV 1. I truly do not snark! While I can, and do, afford (for the time being) that which is best suited, I have a friend who cannot. Help!

great instructions, thank you!

I used the Wago inline connectors while installing, and confirming trailer light connections. Cut my install time by at least half. Great tool!

Mine does not have 1/2 or 3/4 on the side. Instead it has the letter L and the numeral 5 like this L5. What is the replacement part I need?

You missed one very critical step. Make sure the box is installed to code. You'd be surprised at the number of boxes that are just side screwed to a roof truss or floor joist! They may have held a light fixture for years but a fan is different. Not only is it heavy but it has torque. I've seen this a lot!

Thanx dude!

Thanks man. Good stuff. Easy learning.

When our HVAC guy did our house he sized the system for 20”x25”x5” MERV 11. Our house doesn’t get dusty and it has helped with mild seasonal allergies. We also installed an air sanitizing UV system. No regrets.

but i only have one battery

1st, don't go above a mirv 8. 2nd get your system to accept a 2" thick air filter. A 1" filter, no matter the mirv level, is too restrictive. A 2" filter actually filters better and allows better air flow. Also, in most cases you can go 4 months in between filter changes.

Man I was at this issue alllll morning…. You just solved it in seconds. Thank you a lot

Scissors wtf.

Noticed how you jumped right in without making sure power is off.

How about power washing your siding?

When the batteries have been used all the time and stop holding the charge or getting very little charge those batteries are no good anymore, you need to replace them, this trick works when the battery is good but it has lost all the charge , you set it on the charger and because it has no charge at all the charger doesn’t know that it has a battery that it needs to be charged, so you jumpe start the bad battery for about 10 seconds, you set it on the charger then the charger know that it is a battery that needs to be charge because with the little power that the battery has send a message to the charger, so old worn out batteries need to be replaced

35 year elevator mechanic here. I’ve used wirenuts for every wire 14 gauge and larger, both stranded and solid wire. Used to be the only approved connectors for >14 ga. were Kearny’s and wirenuts. You have to properly tighten them, and if you’re dealing with vibration, I was taught to wrap the finished connection tightly with electrical tape. Never had one come loose, including ones I had done decades ago that I needed to cut off because they were too tight to undo manually.

Can you talk about electrostatic air cleaners, pre-filters, and maintenance?

Wow this got my wife's vibrator really going like brand new again..

Great to know the difference in the crimp tool, I was using it on the wrong sided. Can always trust advice from scarred hands
