[@PipeDoctor]

God bless you.

[@FrankRizzzo]

Mike , Ya knocked it out of the Park !!! I know when things are getting tough , Mickey Pipes gets “Em Going “ !!! You’re a blessing to the field and are an awesome relief for those who are pent up with frustration in the field that you represent ! God Bless ! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks 👍

[@woodystokes1543]

Nice work man 👨🏼 and try field piece probes. Love mine

[@derekmc9580]

The rapid rail tech on the Fieldpiece temp probes is also amazing. It gives you instant temp readings and you don’t have to wait on a thermistor to get up to temp like you do with testo. Also the temp reading isn’t affected by ambient temp and sunlight.

[@derekmc9580]

You gotta get the Fieldpiece sman gauges. Trust me I’ve had testo and Fieldpiece and Fieldpiece is by far the better built tools. The Fieldpiece probes are unmatched when compared to testo also. The range is amazing. I can be in an attic adjusting airflow and get live reading all the time. Plus the customer service with Fieldpiece is amazing. I’ve had them send me brand new gauges just because a knob was leaking one time. Can’t beat em.

[@MindzEnt]

I have both too, Testo is OK but doesn't compare to Fieldpiece.

Living like a doctor 🤝😎

[@arielhernandez2911]

You might have to use some cleaner on the condenser to get the dirt to lift up and out of the coils I’ve noticed that even with mirochcannel coils you have to use cleaner but I use the orange hd nucal cleaner for mircochannel works amazing to get the dirt off the coil and for the regular coils I use the blue stuff but water downed unless it’s thick and very dirty coil

[@michaeltobias3524]

I would have checked the evaporator for ice before I added refrigerant. Just sayin😊oh, I forgot to mention. You ARE a marketing GENIUS!

[@tdadp]

Mike it breaks my heart. Do you have to explain this again to people when it comes down to the value of your time and skills and what you bring to the table for the customers

[@tdadp]

Nice today was a blessed day

[@PipeDoctor]

Yes indeed

[@brikaf6001]

you should ask testo if they can re-flash the software for you, great vid!

[@PipeDoctor]

Thanks for the tip!

[@MokenaBob]

Did very good in the electronics industry. Made a lot of money and I am far from broke.

[@unknownvalor9755]

Trane is usually pretty solid (because of the $$$), poor install/leak leading to compressor failure?

[@PipeDoctor]

Trane ain’t shit. I stopped paying to be a Trane dealer after the 1st year when their TOP tier TAM9’s had evap coil leaks 18-24 months into installs. Screw Trane.

[@TheRAMBO9191]

🥃 Glad you got a potential great worker, hope it works out💪🏻

[@swaterman08]

The Testo 557 model has been discontinued. Maybe that's why? The 570 has a battery life of up to 360 hours with rechargeable battery (USB-C) Would be cool to compare testo 552i wireless vacuum probe with the True Blue one

[@mikekolczynski5665]

Cumberland units had the removable protective screens.

[@PipeDoctor]

Really?

[@mikekolczynski5665]

Yep. A little clip on each one, and they come off for easy rinsing.

Hey Mike..! Shouldn't you trace that leak before you being adding so much refrigerant every two or three years...?

Do you do pools in Florida as well Mike .. I haven’t heard you say anything about it

[@PipeDoctor]

lol 😂

[@federiconiedenthal4180]

The Best!!!!!!!

[@markeckman3662]

Why did you use the left hand on the disconnect????

[@MindzEnt]

Time to ditch the Testies and buy some real tools like the Fieldpiece. I used Testies for a couple years, got introduced to real tools like the Fieldpiece SM480v and never looked back. FP makes the best HVACR in the world and it's American.

[@TheBdog2009]

Curiosity has got me, Mike.. what is this capacitor & contactor test you have potential employees do? Besides the MFD test on a capacitor using a meter? I'm curious to know to help me in the field as a tech. Thx

[@HVACOG]

I had the same exact condenser take a shit today.

[@PipeDoctor]

Damn, that sucks

[@cmayor5020]

Not Mike comparing the field piece kit to fisher price toys 😂😂

[@PipeDoctor]

Nope. Wasn’t me!

[@ThePappas33]

That check valve will not open..the filter is set to back wash and not normal so it cuts the flow to the output and starts sucking water from the basket and dump it through the filter and run it on the ground or pipe whatever..were the flap is was the output of the heater in the pool. The flap keeps the water in the pool from backwashing in the system ...until that lever is spinned around to filter then output would resume..

[@chuckq54]

You don’t need to explain how you operate your business or your pricing. You do you 🤷‍♂️. Location also dictates pricing simple as that. If an HVAC company wants to charge $200 for a service call including a capacitor, good for them. Hopefully they will still be in business next year…👍👍
