FLAME ROD CLEANING SECRETS THEY DONT WANT YOU TO KNOW

See one of the main reasons why your furnace can be turning on and off. Many contractors dont want you to know that you can clean your flame rod and get your system back up and running.

I had a service manager tell me I should be replacing flame rods instead of cleaning them because he thought they had a special coating and told me the coating goes bad and cleaning them would cause call backs. I tried explaining that its not true. Its just a piece of metal rod. He didn't believe me. SMH. I didn't stay there long.

@JonEmbry Wow, you just dropped some jewels! Jon, I appreciate you being real and sharing that experience. You are one of the last of a dying breed.

Ted Cook likes to use a $100 bill to clean the sensor!

@jimcarpenter2623 Hey great for Ted. Legit uses a wire wheel. No offense I hope.

I don't know anything about HVAC repairs, but the dirt around these units, would drive me nuts 😂. I really enjoy your videos and you make me laugh. Thank you, GM

I call you great I just discovered your videos this morning and I like how to videos. I have a Coleman eb15b electric furnace and I am gonna try to rebuild it this summer. I like your honesty

[@Legitheatingandair]

@@daryelljeffries7861 let me know if I can assist. I charge $35 an hour for video calls.

Some people be always hating, like everything has to be done their way. I’ve been in service for 15 years and only had to replace 2 flame sensors because the porcelain was cracked. I use scotch-brite to clean them. Not one time have I ever had to replace a flame rod because the metal was wore down.

[@Legitheatingandair]

@@Kirt_Mondragon Real talk coming out for a change. Thanks Kirt. That's gold.

[@BlueT521]

Unless you put deep cuts in it or to get to the actual score of it, no you didn’t do any damage. I seen people do that before most of them just like replacing it though easier for them.

[@Legitheatingandair]

I appreciate the feed back and your contribution to clearing up this misconception.

[@thomaspeterson524]

I went to trade school HVAC/R school but 90% what I know is from the field after the first 2-3 years I could diagnose al/most any problem with any a/c or furnace and I got faster and faster and smarter and smarter because I learned what needed to be done and what didn’t I had senior tech asking me for help

[@bharjo6668]

I hit mine with some emory cloth. Fixes the issue.

[@5822huron]

I knew you didnt go to school.lol You finally said it

[@dinojimenez68]

I’ve been using the supco flame sensor cleaning tool for YEARS with no issues

[@Legitheatingandair]

@dinojimenez68 🤔 doesn't that have a wire wheel in it? Supco wouldn't be selling a tool that will damage the flame rod, would they? The real ones are standing in the paint tonight on this subject gentleman.

[@dinojimenez68]

@ nah I think it has a $100 bill in it 😂

[@Legitheatingandair]

@@dinojimenez68 😂 great one!

[@FatChixx]

2:00 hell no I didn’t learn that in school😂😂

[@azaztec3847]

Never speak about a natural gas furnace without cleaning the flame sensor🤠

[@wowdad3055]

There a difference between a mechanic and a part changer. You stay honest people will call you back.

[@timcat1004]

But why?

[@Legitheatingandair]

For many reason. I'll share 3. One is to uphold volition. Two is to show how we can be influenced by intellectuals to believe something that isn't true and 3 KZbin has made it possible for me to capitalize on the aforementioned.
