My wife the dermatologist says you shouldn't have that arm burn out in the sun. She wanted to make sure I let you know. :) I don't do everything she asks either. :)

[@swaterman08]

why is that? damaged skin is more vulnerable to the sun? like missing a layer of protection? Like when Mikey Pipes Sista lets me hit it Raw?

[@scotts4125]

@@swaterman08 I will ask her tomorrow. Not sure why. His sista told me I was the only one!

Mike, how about a nip slip when your In the pool? Give the people what they want!

just like she said they put in 500 pounds of refrigerant lol.

it's Mikey P. in the pool. 🤪🤪

I always like the equipment to match. I’m OCD

and people say mikey scams people... LMAO mikey saved people from being robbed

I would had got those answers correct

No Mayo And Alway Be Honest And Fair

[@rickpoole1274]

And that's why we always get detailed estimates in writing. If a company refuses to put their estimate in writing or provide no details we assume they are not trustworthy and show them the door and never call them again.

[@joshsansone5113]

At 4:50 the lovely homeowner did mention the other guy added liquid to make 500lbs in each. Very possible it was a misunderstanding.

[@PipeDoctor]

You can’t confuse money.

[@joshsansone5113]

@@PipeDoctor I like your style! It would be interesting to see a follow up if the estimate was actually legit. Or where the communication breakdown occurred. IF any legitimate business is trying to take advantage of our seniors it is distasteful.

[@scotts4125]

That sounds exactly like 95% of my Indeed interviews. They are in other trades and think my trade is easier so you don't have to know anything so how hard can it be. Those guys actually piss me off the most. Horrible attitudes and all broke losers. I would never hire any of them.

[@PipeDoctor]

And it sucks because I really would like to add one person to the team and just the right person‘s not coming around you know they lie or fabricate their experience on paper but in person they fail miserably. It has nothing to do about you being embarrassed you know on social media on one of my KZbin channels. You know if you you know the content, you have yourself a great job and an awesome career for a lifetime.

[@JimmydaGooch]

I wish I needed a job, I actually enjoy doing this work for fun so much I do it for free for my family and friends lol. Today is my day off and I was so excited to change the T&P thats been dripping on my 6 yr old Rheem water heater. Even went to Ferguson to get my T&P, was so satisfying. Felt like a kid in a candy store lol 🤣

[@UnderUrs69]

FOOD ❤

[@PipeDoctor]

Dinner is served

[@Wolfhound.]

just so its clear .... to work on the air handler part of the system your expected to pretty much be laying on top of the system looking down to do repairs

[@tedbell4416]

Wow they really tried to take advantage of them. Then leaving the drain apart too, shameful.

[@TheMrBrandonlewis]

lol Mickey I’m not an hvac tech and I could probably pass your interview

[@EduardoBurgosRecess]

I’m in Boston looking to move to NY, been on the Trade since 2006 and work mainly on commercial buildings. Where do I apply ?

[@nicolasmuniz9452]

Not even a common courteous whispering sweet nothings in your ear or a complimentary reach around, ANIMALS!

[@HonchHeado]

People should ask for written quotes for when they get a 2nd opinion ive seen them quote huge amounts for replacement for a loose wire.

[@willardpinson1197]

Hi Mikey I have a Question for you ? why is my R22 Quiter when its hot out side since its been like 97 degrees its no where as load as when its like 76.............. Does the hot Make the oils R 22 thinner ? and when its not so hot its thicker ? Just Wondering Thanks

[@kennymayo4578]

You loose 20 to 30% of your cooling capacity when mismatching equipment, good catch Mikey

[@ThumperKJFK]

✌

[@giorgosktoridis903]

And what is the hourly rate for the one that recognises the capacitor and contactor?

[@PipeDoctor]

A buck 2 fifty

[@Mapdotgolf]

Add this to the list of training. If they pass the training for Components next make them answer a simple question that question is what is the voltage between our and any wire that you test?

[@Mapdotgolf]

You would be surprised how many people don’t know this

[@SonnyCrackBeats]

I know I could identify the dual capacitors just from watching your videos bruh with zero experience lol.. I doubt I could bullshit my way through and I'm a great bullshitter but you're a New Yorker...

[@JesseDoesHVAC]

I agree it is not good to pay out on other companies/contractors, doesnt make you look professional at all. Probably one of the more difficult things to bear in mind because GOD DO I WANT TO

[@Steve-bm2zm]

How much less is your quote

[@PipeDoctor]

A lot

[@throttlebottle5906]

sounds like the other company didn't want the job, so thy bid it moon high. then again, she say 15 or 50 lbs when talking about refrigerant, maybe getting some batts in the belfry and deafness.

[@timothygingras6939]

Well, you did a lot of talking there Mikey, but you didn’t tell us squat

[@jasongeo2]

How can this bozo not know this? Cmon man. Dual capacitor has 3 terminals. Common has 4 tins herm has 3 and the fan has 2...cmon mannn.

[@stevenslaymaker8017]

Not always

[@PipeDoctor]

Some don’t really have experience they think they do

[@jasongeo2]

@@PipeDoctor Maybe , but once in awhile one comes around with the ability to pickup information like a sponge to water, the talent to diagnose an issue with very little formal training, the ability to sell a Bosch 18 Seer System IDS Plus like a Pro Porsche sales floor associate at the dealer. There diamonds in the rough out there Mikey. Hopefully you will stumble on one. 😉

[@swaterman08]

maybe they quoted high to avoid getting the job?

[@PipeDoctor]

really? why? whats up with the broken 3/4" PVC in the attic?? hummmm....

[@everettstevenson2111]

Hey Mikey,of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I elderly money too. Come on Mikey, you don't sodomize them about the seer / seasonal energy efficiency ratio? You know a 14 seer system to a maybe 20 seer system and how most their will save on their electric bill in the long run. Come on Mikey, you dealing Top Gum School. Again as if people are seating thinking about their heating and cooling system. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for sharing.

[@MokenaBob]

Keep trying

[@tdadp]

If this interview was smart, he would’ve watched the channel and he would’ve learned what a contactor is how it works a capacitor .. you teach the basic and more on channel

[@michaelyoung394]

I hate to say there a lot of rip offs in this profession!

HVAC salesman charging by the price of the house instead of price of equipment and labor. Shameful.
