gas furnace shaking bad when running

[@Thermionman]

Hello I am in Ontario Canada..I am really enjoying your videos!

[@Fireship1]

Reminds me of the commercial on TV for Farmers Insurance. “We know a thing or two, because we’ve seen a thing or two”. Never know what your going to see in the real world of HVAC service!

[@skyym3629]

I've always referred to that green wire mesh material that you get at the hardware store and cut to fit as "hog hair" filter materials. The kind you wash with a hose and it is pretty limp stuff without any frame or border. It does work better than nothing, that's for sure. Thanks for the vids, the info, and the entertainment. God bless bro.

[@skeedebug]

Your love for Miss Molly is immeasurable, Steve. Love it!

[@J-Colt]

Just in time for coffee, Thanks Steven!

[@robertbegley6858]

Steve and coffee good combination

[@summitm18hvac90]

Lol when u hit that light and said.. well that ain’t good. I laughed. I have done that sooooo many times! Thad for the video brother

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

I have literally jumped and banged my head on one of the new plastic LED bulbs we had in a fairly low-hanging light and it didn’t break. I’m glad cuz there was a CFL in there a few months before that.

[@Spector_NS5_RD]

You know how many basement bulbs i Kamikaze'd with my noggin? It happens.

[@jvkew]

Can you do a video about the overpressure incident in your area? I would appreciate the views of a local craftsman.

[@notajp]

One time I saw a plastic bag that had gotten into the squirrel cage on a furnace. Made one helluva racket! Sounded like the furnace was getting ready to launch itself into orbit....

[@joelsadowsky3436]

Hey Steve, we call that stuff the green washable “cut to size horsehair filters” I think you gave her the best advise on that one.

[@SierraOne]

Ya just never know what you gonna find! Great Video!

[@Eddy63]

They need to empty the dryer lint trap some where else ... Lol ... Good vid ...

[@ToxicityAssured]

I drive a car just like the blue one at 15:37. Subaru AWD and snow tires make winters easy. Another job compete Steve, that was an easy one!

[@georgesiatos9848]

great work!

[@hvacserviceinstall2892]

Looks light on return air Steve.

[@happyirishman4683]

At least it wasn't a bird Steve ;) . Great video fix . Like the new promos .

I was expecting a rat

God bless.Steven!

[@sknight0391]

You da' man checking that 2ndary heat exchanger like that 👍 Mama would be proud.

[@JoeCdaYT]

The smell of lowest bidder job during remodel. Then the smell of more money into yer pocket for service trips. Thanks for the Video.

[@mongoslade2325]

Good camera angle up into heat exchanger. It ain't easy momma.

[@troyleong7412]

Hey Steve....your videos are always soooooo informational. Our furnace sounds like it's shaking when it turns on. I put a new filter in it but I still hear the shaking. Do you think that our fan could have all that junk in it like this one????? Any ideas???????? Thanks my friend!!!!!!!

[@786otto]

Unbelievable that's right!

[@RastaHuis]

"there is probably some hair in there" i think it ate the dog/cat!

[@kylebass4635]

I busted a regular bulb like that and later on walked by a mirror and had a big peice of glass stuck out of the top of my hat 😂

[@kylebass4635]

@@throttlebottle5906 OUCH!

[@roobear5357]

There was a fashionable man named Bass, who decided to wear a glass hat, but when he caught his reflection during a routine inspection he nearly fell flat on his ass...😁

[@picklerix6162]

My 20 year old Goodman furnace started to make a noise that was similar to the noise in this video. It turned out that a factory label inside the furnace came loose and was sucked into the squirrel cage fan. Who installs a furnace without a filter rack?

[@VinylToVideo]

She's a shaker, mama!

[@chriscabral7995]

Do you think she will really go cut filter material and put it in the return grills

[@LeftsnRights88]

I can't hardly believe a contractor installed that furnace without a filter. Talk about incompetence. Retired SMWIA.

[@bg147]

I have never seen that type of install before without a filter.

[@stevenbrown5693]

I recently found a blower in a York furnace that had a dead rat in it. It was so unbalanced that it broke two of the motor mounts!

[@7islander]

No filter needed. Remove and vacuum annually.

[@kdmq]

LOL when you hit your head on the light. I will be honest it blew my mind how the light was still on when broken, shit happens.

[@johnnyr19026]

Staying tuned 👍👍

[@donnierobertson3088]

Good job

haha glad to see its not just my truck that becomes a yard sale by weeks end :)

gotta love inhaling mercury vapor in an enclosed space

@@daveschroers4222 Steve broke a florescent bulb

[@alonewcompany]

@@daveschroers4222 If you read the MSDS sheets on the bulbs you should evacuate the area for 15 min and begin venting procedures. Glad the Gub'ment stepped in and gave us safer products to use!

[@franman9027]

Sounds like return air supply is a little undersized...

[@SilverCymbal]

Good eatin' there!

[@AMStationEngineer]

I've never, ever commented that I'd made a purchase 'because of an endorsement'; well, that changed last week. I purchased a digital manifold from Steve's sponsor, for one reason, and one reason only; they've stuck by him for quite some time now, and if they've stood with him for this long, I'm certain they'll treat me well should problems arise. Sorry Johnstone....

[@ravit6223]

Wear mask mama 😷 ...flippin fur coat ...great job no wonder why fan is dancing 😁

[@potbelliedolman8939]

What kind of hack installer would not include a place for a filter!! Home inspector didn't catch it either!!

[@jblyon2]

Friends of mine bought a house and the home inspector completely missed that the supply duct for the far end of the house had a 20' long split up in the attic (also that the return from there had been plugged up for some ungodly reason). They had over 1300 CFM loss found during an energy audit.

[@jblyon2]

@@bigc8300 Since the air handler was in the crawl space it would have been the cheapest and easiest option. Seeing as they didn't even put in a normal filter housing it seems to fit the general MO of whoever installed it

[@robertsitch1415]

In northern regions where most houses have a basement housing the hvac system floor returns are generally what you will find. My uncle bought a house in 2002 which the previous owners did not have a furnace filter installed. He said the blower wheel was covered in cat hair, so he took it to his friends mechanic shop and pressure washed it.

[@hugheshomeimprovementssp4055]

Home depot install!

[@alexbatson864]

Steve Lav's usin' is head!!!

[@chuckquinn8026]

Is it worthwhile to keep a few trim to fit filters in the truck for an easy sale while working on a furnace call? A lot of your videos show filthy air filters, so I’m thinking it’s an easy way to make a few more $$ per service call....

[@phillipjennings8935]

Well I guess they found the hamster

[@williamdyckman9704]

What a hack job on that furnace, surprised that building inspector didn't pick that up, but maybe installer never got permit, so homeowner gets screwed.

[@tomking1890]

Many furnaces, in Mass, seem to be jacked up on blocks. Why is that? Thanks

[@aircooledtx]

Piss poor design returns, No filter || hack. Glad got wheel cleaned. Can get filter for those floor grills. Collins & Walker here use to carry them.

[@chaplint70]

I was just looking at my furnace fan the other day and thinking it looked a little dusty maybe a paintbrush taped to a stick would get in there and clean it. Now I'm thinking, nevermind, it looks brand new.

[@rickjarvis5954]

Down from Mac's soda bar. My ole stompin grounds as a kid.

[@colonelradec5956]

thats my house is. ghetto lol. like i had to insall a filter spot and clean it all out and it wasnt even old.

looks like molly is ready for work. Idaho

[@lee-johnson]

I’ve broke a few lights myself with my head!

[@dpeagles]

Is that a drain in the flue on the right side of the furnace? Wouldn't that release combustion products

[@richardhall7983]

Did you check static pressure. It sounds over sized

[@dpeagles]

Did you see the drain in the flue? To the right of the furnace?

[@hvacrcole]

That green hairy stuff is called Duralast, Home Depot has it out hear. I have old man brain and I can't think of things either.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i do believe your a bit older then me larry ,,,, just saying

[@hvacrcole]

@@stevenlavimoniere I do believe you're right was 7 or 8 years

[@imaginekarma8582]

The air returns might need a professional duct cleaning. There’s probably a lot more dust and debris gathered inside the trunk lines that would eventually make its way to the furnace again.

[@InkedUpHonda]

Everyone edits putting the housing and motor back. Like he did it in one shot. 🤣

[@robertbegley6858]

If KZbin has a video of that unit being installed it would be called the shit show

Does the dog sit out In the cold while you work? Looks like he was shivering there at the end.

For the life of me I don't get why the installer didn't put in a filter. I guess he did a turn and burn.
