[@jameskeahey7153]

Might be older videos but I have already learned so much, thank you for doing these HVAC and homeowner-focused videos!

Thanks David Jones!, The Drain Pan Float switch was something I never new existed and saved me waiting 2 weeks waiting for a $200 service call. Appreciate your help.

Wish builder had put drain line in drip pan before woke to flash flood in my bed.

[@4chiron]

Thank you David for posting this. My problem proved to be the batteries inside the thermostat - they were completely drained and this in the middle of July! Replaced the batteries and my system is back on line. Again, thank you for taking the time to upload this video.

Thank god. And you, sir, have helped us save from the heat of the weather in FL

[@paulmiller3000]

Thank you, David. This helped us fix the problem and get our a/c back up and running quickly in the Florida heat!

[@keithhoward8651]

Great info David. Thanks and keep them coming.

[@bluecollarmillionaire4life]

thank you

[@PBS-nm1uu]

Do you have any on circuit board troubleshooting ??

[@TheCycledude37]

Thank you I had no idea about the safety switch, as soon as I removed it the a/c came back on and water came pouring out

[@soniaalvarez10]

Blastmattspast247 how did you get the water out?

[@ivymar4085]

[@gurinderpalsingh9119]

David I text to you first time my not cooling and also short cycle now just running 2 or 3 minutes and shut down again start please let me know what I can do?

[@angelomacareno5392]

Mr jones, what's your take on dye packs to find a leak? Do you see a effect in the future with the mixture of refrigerant and dye such as crystallization or anything like that?

[@bluecollarmillionaire4life]

I am not a fan, if it is a small leak I use leak stop, I have a video on how it works

[@josebenedico7379]

My a.c. in summer works for a while later it stops and the temperature of the house raise over the 77 that I set it on, I flush the drain pipe and works for a while and later continues with the same problem. Anybody can suggest what's the problem?

[@JayG_Tha_Don]

Mr. Jones is a real nigga. Every video he keeps it 💯

[@mrdeyabu0077]

Thank you.

[@sjnichani]

good videos david

[@speedwayperformance1]

hi, why does the thermostat need batteries?

[@bluecollarmillionaire4life]

most do change every year

[@UUBrahman]

on a programmable thermostat batteries save the pre-set temperature settings during a power outage. Not programmable? no batteries needed.

[@richardbryan6134]

A/C doesn't run. When I pull my safe-t switch out, the a/c runs. So I know I need to get my lines unclogged. But how long can I run it with the Safe-t plug unpplugged? Also, though it runs it seems to be less efficient. Does that make sense? Hurricane Irma is about here and I can't get anyone out here for a few days. What is the best way for me to proceed? It may be academic when when city electricity goes out, but meanwhile.... Thanks.

[@samquinn6427]

Why not just remove the float like I did. If line does clog you will see a little water dripping from it so know it is time to unclog the line

[@OBASTOS1]

Good Video Thanks David!

Facts!

[@a3agnello]

We tell our customers to leave their stats to fan in in order to circulate air and balance temp throughout the house

[@DanO181919]

Anthony Agnello leaving the fan on without the cooling mode on will bring your humidity levels up.

[@bluecollarmillionaire4life]

we have had several motor to burn up after 3-4 weeks they for get to put them back to auto

[@bluecollarmillionaire4life]

correct

[@pcross84]

There's a small amount of water in my safety switch pipe but when I soak it up, a little more comes in. It's it supposed to be bone dry or can there be a little bit of water in there? My AC is working, just wondering about that water.

[@amerphartriple7320]

Mine has a little water BUT I have a completely saturate carpet and massive puddles on the other side of the wall on the bathroom floor, and the cubby that holds the a/c filter is saturated and FILLED with water, evidenced by me pressing down on the floor of it and seeing the water pooling! It's got mold in there now. I HAVE A SAFE-T SWITCH, I pulled it out, it moves up and down, so I can't figure out why the switch did not come to my rescue and shut the a/c system down so I would KNOW I HAD A PROBLEM!! It has been about 2 months since we changed out the 3-month filter, so it happened sometime between then and now, and I'm flooded despite a Safe-t switch. I now have to figure out how to take the bottom panel off with all those pipes coming out of it (same as this video) and how on earth I'm supposed to work to see if the pan hole is clogged if removing the panel won't even let me put it down somewhere else so I can see what I'm doing!

[@emilfalck5690]
