I am loving learning from this channel. I'm getting to see different failure modes and hackery in quantity on a wide variety of boiler systems. I'm an electrician and automation mechanic by original trade, but a job change has me starting on my HVAC journey. I am glad to have channels like yours that explain it well and still keep it fun. I know you'll keep up the boiler work, so keep making the videos! I'd also like to commend you as you are an excellent mentor.

[@claudenewman3440]

Mark up is usually 100 to 300%. People need to understand that not only are you installing the part but you are warranting it for 2 years parts and labor. I’m sure the parts manufacturers aren’t doing the same so that money comes out of your pocket. Great job as always. I wish you had an office in the SF Bay Area in California, I would buy a maintenance plan from you the next day!

I like the comments. I like the comments about business practices. Business maybe done a little different than in other countries. I live in the same region as the video creator (producer). For real, and for real the product changes, discontinuing the part from manufacturers and service industry pricing. Without giving details Mikey gives great advice for prices adjustments as in the parts sold for Mikey Pipes' rolling warehouse replacement parts.

Yo Dre keep in this trade you’ll go far! Knowledge is power my brother and you’re learning from one of the greats Mikey f@cking pipes! Almost 70 degrees in CT today replaced a Weil McLain 299 ultra heat exchanger today, was a difficult but fun experience!! Got her done no leaks!

[@OverKillPlusOne]

Just fyi you’re reading your thermal imager wrong. Scale on the right is the full scale. Your center temp (cross hair fixed) is the third number on the upper left. That second floor pipe was reading like maybe 110, at least as far as I saw, it’s probably hotter than that since we can see the white/orange color showing. It’s getting a little confused by reflected vs emissive reading. It’s most accurate on that black pipe, since it’s going to be only emissive or almost only emissive, and the shiny brass and copper it’s going to be pretty off (emissivity, which yours discloses in the numbers on the bottom,mid have to dig up what it should be for copper or brass). Boilers definitely only getting to 130-140 though so the tridicator is probably right.

[@timb6879]

[@thtdudenamdbilly]

I was hoping someone in the comments section could help me out with something I've been noticing with my Goodman gas furnace. The furnace ignites and heats the house for what seems like the correct duration. I've noticed after the flame goes out and the blower continues to run and not to long goes by and the furnace reignites and completes another heating cycle. I find it weird that it is reattempting to heat the house before the fan turns off. The thermostat shoes the ambient temperature is the same as the desired temperature. I've changed the flame sensor as well but the issue still remains.

[@thtdudenamdbilly]

@@PipeDoctor thank you for replying. The filters are brand new. Cheap ez flow filters too. The air ways appear to be clear too.
