I really thought it was going to be worse for 5 yrs since the last cleaning. Good job.

[@bdfm34]

I appreciate all of your oil & gas boiler/ furnace videos. You have helped me out a lot. I have been doing this for years

[@misspetite7632]

Best video I've seen, thank you for taping and posting your video. Now I feel more knowledgeable about what is done when they service my furnace. Hope your dogs tummy feels better too.

2019-12-12; Living way down in deep South USA/Texas, Snow @ Xmas I count -fingers 1 hand with left-overs, But I have a couple very hard working Nephews who wed Vermont Maids, They try not to tell me all their heating/ice/snow, problems, but I am interested to point of moveing more North. Your vidios are a fine learning site for me, & I Thank YOU. I also enjoy your Brouge as it reminsent of my Worchester, Mass. step dad. So thanks to YOU also for some memories too.

[@jakenALABAMA]

You're not cheap but you deliver quality service. I give you that.

[@synful_cynder]

We really need to do ours 😬 its from 1981. My husband cleaned last year. Someone came and adjusted the nozzle? But I don't know if the filters were ever changed 😳

[@dr.leonardhofstadter5866]

Definitely needs a new belt, with them large cracks in the old belt. It can break in two places. They get that way after several RPM's, that wears them out. I like the way you organize your truck, helps you out so to find things quickly. Nice work steve

[@Fireship1]

That nozzle was really coked up. Other than that, not bad for 5 years without maintenance. Good job Steve. Next level bud!

[@obesefeline]

Ohhh I know about the "nice" dogs, never trust the owners feelings. I've been bit more than once. Top notch work Steve, keep em coming.

[@remiel3315]

I always keep my dog put up in a room when I have anyone over that's not a close friend or family, and he is a very nice dog but I wont run the risk or put anyone else in that position.

[@aircooledtx]

Need a yearly maintenance. Good Job, Steven

[@Imwright720]

You my friend have a well stocked truck. And you know where stuff is. Amazing.

[@bbm8873417]

Nice Work Steve, a lot of stuff in that basement

[@Brad1237202]

Nice one Steven. "Saving money, don't have it cleaned until you have a problem."

[@shawnnelson6146]

Those nyloflex couplers can be a problem. Had them wear a little. When warm they lose grip and heater goes into lockout. Coupler works when heater is cool. They usually will last one cycle. I replace the couplers once a year here in arctic alaska. I watched uour video on force air furnace because I dont see many of them here. I was asked to look one over at local church that like this hadnt seen mx since installation. Furnace room was all soot. Soot everywhere. Nozzle, igniter, flu & filter all were jaw droppers. This area gets cold for a few months of -20's to -30's at night. So furnace runs from Late Sept to Early June.

[@BaFunGool]

People are clueless in storing combustibles in the boiler area. Seen chainsaws, lawnmowers, BBQ tanks, spray paint and basic household junk stored around boilers. All it takes is a puff back or flame roll-out and kiss the house good bye.

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Sh**ting on the floor. To funny. Hope baby's doing better. I'd be a pro by now with these oil burning furnaces if we had any down here in S FL. Thx Steve for another good vid.

[@iron60bitch62]

How can I balance a Beckett burner I just change electrodes that I’m not sure about the air mixture are there any tricks that you could help me with thank you love you videos

[@deanguando1335]

You caught that belt just in time.

[@dennis-sj6im]

nice work steve ... love the shit we come across in people's basements

[@greggaieck4808]

Steven lavimonier I like your utube videos are awesome

[@harrydickson4575]

Nice work Steve

[@giod7337]

Hi. Just found your videos. Great content. I noticed you used alligator clip to jump it in order to prime the line. Gauge went bad, tank emptied and I'm in that boat. Can this be done with honeywell R7284u control. Thanks

[@dburto13]

Wow, not bad for 5 years Steve, just in time for the belt! LOL Surprised the belt lasted that long.

[@65csx83]

The belt is 15.

[@michaelpadovani9566]

All in all not too bad considering the long service interval but glad you caught the belt!

[@99shadows66]

Nice work, come on over and service mine!

[@jeffkreft9872]

Need to go back and ask them how much is the mermaid, you should buy it Steve and put it on the front of the truck. Now that would be cool!

[@curtismuma1931]

What about the strainer filter at the pump ? Shouldn't it changed. 😕

[@heslind]

Great video, very interesting.

[@phillipgroom9187]

Nice job! Thanks for the video.

[@jefferyweigand1337]

good banter with the housewife...

[@don7406]

Did you leave the mermaid there or take it home? Nice catch on the belt. Hopefully the owner will let you service the unit next year.

[@georgesiatos9848]

great work steve!!!nasty oil filter...only with gloves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@larryitsalarryitsa4139]

Very good video. Do you have one for a Beckett? Also, why didn't you check/clean the CAD Cell? Also, do you ever check/clean the squirrel cage fan blades? Also, have you ever tried a LINK BELT replacement on the fan?

[@d.t.1470]

Nice Job!

[@frank-vy9xe]

Oil heat was 3000 a year. Converted to natural gas and pay a little less than 800 a year. I live in maine. Only propane is more expensive even electric heat is cheaper than oil but not by much

[@DOLRED]

Proves...if you want to be an expert, you have to have the right tools and know how to use them!!

[@rafaelguerrero2709]

not one video on changing THE Combustion Chamber on a miller furnace on a mobile home !

[@andytachibanalover9495]

New gasket without wiping the edge of the cartridge?? Man hot dog...

[@potatolew4495]

WTF are you talking about. Steve cleaned out the filter cup and installed the gasket. If the groove was filled with debris, he would have taken care of it. Lay down, take a nap son.

[@JisINSANE3]

wow I rent and my shit has not been serviced in 8 years. I can hardly see the site glass. And I am a building engineer yet this is the landlords shit. Should I do it myself? I already recaulked the bathroom with GE cause it was bad. Prehaps, I should clean it out for my safety and bottom fuel $$ line? YEAH

[@SuperDrummerJay]

I know this comment was a year ago, but how'd that work out for ya? Personally, I wouldn't touch any of it, even if you're 100% on what you are doing, unless it's an emergency. Been on both sides of that coin. Rented to people, who were sure they knew how to wire 120V, and almost burned the place down rather than telling us they had a problem. I've lived in rentals where the landlord balks at spending $10 on a front door knob that actually locks. I bought one, installed it, sent the receipt to her and deducted the cost from the rent. Furnace had issues that winter, blew soot everywhere. She kept putting off calling anyone. I cleaned the air filter, and cleaned out the blockages from the exhaust, but I wasn't touching anything else after seeing the 8 year old date on the last service ticket. When I moved the next year, she kept my deposit, and even tried billing me for cleanup services to repaint the walls by the register outlets and what it cost to service the furnace. Said I caused it by messing with the air filter... ugh. I gave up fighting over the deposit, but the tech was looking at the furnace on one of my last trips back, told me he was surprised it ever ran at all, lectured the landlord about regular maintenance, and told her what I did probably saved her money on repair costs instead of causing the problem. Lesson Learned! Even if you can fix something when you're renting from someone, don't! They will find a way to blame and charge you for it all when you go to move.

[@jtmm9283]

Did i miss you changing the pump screen?

[@kellyr95]

If there is good oil flow he usually doesn't worry too much about it..

[@thesuccessfulbarber]

Are you in New Hampshire or Mass?

[@njdevfan20]

When I had an oil fuel boiler we had a hard time finding someone to service it. We had to convert to natural gas. Anyone else encounter this problem?

[@erikj.2066]

Probably depends on what part of the country you're located. Here in the North East, Oil fired heat, and boilers are very common. You usually have tons of choices of people to call to work on that equipment. The rest of the country seems like it's more NG/LP furnaces.

[@KenKen-ui4ny]

Good point matter in fact oil furnaces and boilers back in their hey day used to be quite prevalent nationwide even in places more down south, But now since we now have more natural gas utility's available and more cheaper choices of home heating, Oil fired heat has practically gone the way of the dinosaur in most of the country with the exception of the north eastern states

[@billbell8165]

I use to do oil but enough gas work to keep me busy so o dropped his service it is way too dirty.exception if I installed it I will always repair it.

[@sirjohnahayfalcon]

my furnace shuts on then shuts off for 5 minites strait , then eventually it blows heat without interruption, is it a bad cad cell.? same becket rig

[@randykocian4738]

Wasn't too bad but it wasn't good either. Customer's pushing her luck. That belt was gone. Plugged filter. Nasty nozzle. Furnace path blocked with junk. Get real!

[@lexmarks567]

should get yourself a waste oil furnace for the garage and use all the oil you collect during your service calls.

[@snake_hole2886]

what kind of spray cleaner do you use Steve?

[@woodbine66]

Auto carb cleaner.

[@lklpalka]

know anyone in Fairfield CT/ Danbury you would recommend? I suspect mine hasnt been servived in at least three years but im moving next august and dont want to sign inyo a full contract. Carrier, 100K, but sounds happy and filter still looks good in clear bell case.

[@ThePlumber4511]

Master Mechanical, LLC. I had a friend who said they were reasonable and efficient.

[@towbinJosh]

No video of Baby!!??

[@waltradcliffe4482]

At first I thought he was digging the mermaid out

[@Jerbod2]

Mine may not have been cleaned since the 70's or 90's.

[@Bob.W.]

"it ain't too bad" lol.

[@65csx83]

See ya again in 6 years; no sense rushing it.

[@ryans413]

His dog likes to dance

[@backwoods3214]

if u know they don't maintain don't go back,

[@char0507]

wowi am surprised 5 years and a belt like that

[@kellyr95]

The belt was probably the original from when the unit was installed 15 years ago. The last time Steve was there was 5 years ago but he didn't replace the belt at that time just did typical service...

[@johnerway7255]

Yes too tight and motor overloads.

[@CCROSS5882]

spent a long time out of the picture with that mermaid! LOL

[@georgesiatos9848]

bad nozzle!!!!

[@DC5659245]

De.

[@TheBwacker]

Don’t be a tight ass and go buy new parts! Don’t put that garbage back in!

[@Obsidianiron]

Don't you check the combustion and smoke number? What about all the safety devices, burner lockout and overheat cut outs etc? After 5yrs you need to be thorough!! Air heating has got to be the most inefficient heating system available. You fellas in the States are in the dark ages. Have you heard of condensing boilers, optimisation and weather compensation heating controls?

[@potatolew4495]

We have them all!!! It comes down to what the homeowner has and what they want to spend guy.

[@andy.pach60gmail.comPACH]

that women is NOT needed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
