good content as always Mike! Reset the breaker multiple times if you want a big fireworks show 😂

[@PipeDoctor]

Absolutely and as long as you got good homeowners insurance

Textbook electrical troubleshooting, Nice job Mike , replacing just the compressor would be foolish but that's a customer choice , you can only advise

[@PipeDoctor]

thanks!

[@spaceboy7192]

Bristol compressor and a micro channel coil....best of both worlds.

[@PipeDoctor]

Couldn't agree more!

[@bobnewyorkusa3642]

If the system is old, replace everything if the client will go for the money. If not change compressor and do thourough check of the rest of the existing system good luck, Love all your videos. Would love you and your crew to replace my furnace for me, a 25 year old counterflow but I am in the northern burbs of the city and I use oil which for some unknown reason you stay away from them. Steve Lav does oil but too far away. Guess I will have my oil supplier do it for me then. I wast a top of the line Thermo Pride counterflow with a beckett AFG burner. Day hi to your mascots Stoley and GiGi. I am the one who sent them the Biscuits a while ago. Thanks for the hat, sticers and pen. Keep posting your great videos. Very informative, educational and entertaining !

Thanks so much for your feedback constructive that is customer approved new outdoor condensing unit by Rheem and a new case of evaporator coil getting it done

Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. Hmm, "burn out" oh yes, replace outdoor unit, replace a coil and flush out line set. bad compressor? cause maybe bad low - pressure cut off switch or some one pass the switch. Again hot oil burned the winding on the electric motor, why called "burn out" system has been contaminated. Come on Mikey, you still driving around central park, working out some more of your problems,lol. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

[@PipeDoctor]

It ain’t easy being cheesy, but it’s quite easy being a professional and giving professional advice

[@neutrodyne]

Whoever originally installed the system may have brazed the lines without first running nitrogen in the lines. This could have contaminated the oil causing the compressor to go south. Also if you replace the system without replacing the lines you could be leaving the comatament oil in the lines to damage the new system.

[@coastalcarolinarocks]

I usually find capacitors and liquid restrictions kill compressorsnthe most in southeast

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for sharing your perspective at your location

[@scottmaz4063]

Hope you took care of that NOISEY bosh 😂

[@PipeDoctor]

yes, slapped her

[@PipeDoctor]

sure did!

[@Samlol23_drrich]

I would think the electrician would have said " It might not be the breaker. You might have a short in the outdoor unit"

[@PipeDoctor]

yup

[@kens.3729]

Missed hearing the Age of the Outdoor Unit to determine if Replacing Compressor makes any sense. 🤔

[@PipeDoctor]

10 years

[@RVail623]

Suggestion: for completeness, you might want to add an extra minute of video footage, to show the condition of the inside of dwelling air filters, since that could have been a factor in the compressor failing.

[@PipeDoctor]

Great suggestion! For the record and for full transparency, the homeowner is quite anal about monthly even during the winter months changing the filters now granted your air conditioning your HVAC filters should be kept clean at all times however it is even more important that they remain clean during the season to prevent a restriction of airflow in the heating season, a filter can result in a high limit Plenum sensor going on safety

[@acmm50]

Mikey P I agree with your assessment and if it were me I would just replace outdoor unit but question, in the presence of no history of leaks, why replace the A coil?? Also would that require a new line set??

[@PipeDoctor]

not unless necessary

[@tphvac87]

You can tell that thing was cooking the top of that compressor was crispy

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah it was

[@SalvadorHVAC]

She's DEAAAAAAD

[@PipeDoctor]

Sure is.

I know I know I'm late sorry pipes

Poor Bosch is going to get the cooties being so close to the Luxaire,

[@markcotter2355]

poor bosch didnt' sound so great. what was going on there? Nothing but drain problems here lately. Had one compressor dead this summer. The terminals were blown right off the compressor and plug blew off it.

[@PipeDoctor]

Once I kind of shifted that and bang that unit, I gave her a slap on the back a few times she got quite quiet

[@user-zi9ww5mt5s]

It is an easy decision if unit is under warranty! Harder from a $ perspective if owner has to pay for a new system.

[@PipeDoctor]

No warranty

Watch out for the airplane stowaway bodies that fall out when they drop the landing gear. Usually fall in Reynolds Channel.

not yet

replace the unit unless the compressor is still under warranty.

Unit and coil. Approved

lol, yea watch out for falling parts! @ 3:09

okay

[@justincummings4775]

Duct work, return size

[@PipeDoctor]

its good

[@kat2641]

You asked my opinion so…. I wouldn’t replace just the compressor… no way the unit already had problems a due to its age? Nope now if it was a 5~6 year old unit?? That’s another thing but it would honestly a waste of time a customer money to replace the compressor…🤷🏻‍♂️

[@PipeDoctor]

everything being changed

Hey, you are not telling us all the juicy shit going on in your life = and that's what I watch for - not the boring shit like this video. Truth speaks that you want - no disrepect

That bosh needs to be replaced. Get Frankie to show up n change it

[@PipeDoctor]

lol....no

[@everettstevenson2111]

Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments/reply?? I guess some of your customers,family and friends still checking on you. When you were young, did you and your friends went to Chuck E Cheese to eat pizza. Or did you go out hunting with a man like Dick Chenney. Do you still have a back bone made of steel. If so, then you still might have some "Big Dick" Chenney qualities. You are a little better than Joel Osteen today. May God keep you and watch over you.

[@PipeDoctor]

Yeah?
