R22 GOODMAN AC UNIT NOT COOLING DOWN HOUSE

[@phononut]

The conversations with your customers are almost as enjoyable as the repairs.

[@WeatherNut27]

Yup.. The repairs keep us coming back, the interactions helps us stay.

[@Rayfanz1]

The way you care for your elderly clients is flippin’ heart-warming. Not a joke. You are the patron saint of HVAC/plumbing. Some church should have you and Ms. Molly standing beside your truck made into a stained glass window.

[@ForgetU]

1:42 Finally a thermostat that Steve likes...

[@carbo2950]

Never realized how large families were back in the 30's. Nice neighborhoods.

[@drakbar5957]

A gold Honeywell round t-stat. Yowza...mercury contact tube. Livin' good in Steve's neighborhood, Momma!

[@dfirth224]

The famous T87.

[@Garth2011]

Yes, they always work but if someone isn't careful with it in cool mode, could damage the compressor with no time delay etc.

[@TheFatesLieutenant]

The statue is Hebe, the Goddess of Youth (Greek) - great interactions with your customers!

[@sethtenrec]

Finally, an intelligent comment

[@pecockbass68]

"Just for shits and giggles" man you're killing me. Great videos, keep them coming!!!

[@lia-liz2012]

You're funny...glad you were so loving to these cute ole folks! Learned alot this video!

[@skidmarkman321]

Saying shits and giggles could land you in the dog house.

[@glennfranklin4523]

Love your observations on the property that tree is super cool on a hot summer afternoon with a nice glass of sweet tea

[@Garth2011]

Word is that Goodman and Amana has improved over the years and parts are always available from the manuf.

[@javiergalvan242]

Another awesome video Steve, and you gave some solid advise to the customer! Keep the video's coming ☝️ 💯👍

[@johnwalker890]

Good job Steve, I like how you interview your customers.

[@khx73]

Had a few good laughs at this one! Thanks Steve. Nice old people.

[@skidmarkman321]

With 2 story homes with 1 system, I tell them to run the fan the ON position, this way the fan circulates the air through the house in the off cycle, otherwise once the fan stops, thge hot air stays up and cold air falls down.

[@mikea1973]

If u left the fan on u would be blowing the humidity back into the house when compresser shuts off from the water condensate on the evaporator..it must stay on auto..however u can use fan on during the winter when using heat..fyi

[@skidmarkman321]

@@mikea1973Never heard of that one before, I have an MET , any links to your theory? Seeing as the coil is 40F and condensate drains away, the 1/4 cup left is nothing.. with a 2 story home the heat goes up and cold stays down unless you leave the fan on. The miniscule degree of humidity if any measurable is insignificant compared to being upstairs with 80F air while downstairs is n70F

[@sethtenrec]

I don’t know what kind of system they have in Boston or wherever he is but my second floor it cools fine coming through the vents. I just close a couple vents downstairs and get the upstairs nice and cool. Mine is an R 22 Goodman from 08

[@someguy9778]

That unit looks pretty good for being almost 20 years old.

[@jasondrollinger7314]

Your a funny Fulker. That statue thing was great and it was like u were talking to dyana thanks for the outlook laugh 😃

[@andreaechevarria6725]

Statue could be Hebe the Greek goddess of youth. Very popular in old gardens.

[@dyershvac5884]

Nothing like a used capacitor. But good enough for this neighborhood mama!

[@scott1243]

I needed a capacitor last summer, the tech asked me if I wanted a new one, that was made in China, or a used one, that was made in the U.S., I opted for the used one and its been working great.

[@dyershvac5884]

Ok...

[@Garth2011]

I think it was new and rolling around in his parts bin outside of a box. At least it was made in USA

[@sethtenrec]

I know, right, hard to believe he’s scamming people on video

[@tomcordio173]

You taught me something new again Steve. I thought a bad capacitor would stop the compressor fan from running. I learned that the capacitor also helps the compressor to turn on. Thanks for the info.

[@joeylawn36111]

Those A/C capacitors have two caps in one package - the higher value is for the compressor, the lower-valued one is for the fan.

[@Logaweed]

With a dual run capacitor like this you can have 3 different scenarios. Either codensor fan works and compressor does not, compressor works and condensor fan does not, or what seems to be the most common is both the fan and compressor do not work.

[@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259]

That's a cool tree! ;) Great day everyone!

[@agostinodibella9939]

They put that condenser unit right up against the house. Just enough room to work on it.

[@picklerix6162]

It wasn’t leaking until you took the gauges off.

[@MrTurboturbine]

That has to be the craziest tree I've ever seen, can't even imagine the root system on that sucker.

[@HeavyBeam]

Always the capacitors with the goodmans.

[@kylechapman4522]

thanks for the video's young fellow ..

[@greggaieck4808]

Steven lavimonier I like your utube videos

[@tednitta1785]

Good enough for this neighborhood.

[@danwittels5542]

Cap'n'go, Cha-ching! You can't stop a Goodman!😄

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍

[@iamnoone.]

That joke was the best 👌 👍 😍

[@iamnoone.]

Told my wife that joke she wasn't very happy

[@briancencelewski55]

Nice work Steve.. Love your channel!!!!!!!

[@John..556]

Could the installer put the unit any closer to the house

[@alaub1990]

Good video but I like seeing you bust drywall out looking for leaks.

[@samsquires2877]

Can’t stop a goodman

[@WeatherNut27]

@10:33 "might light up your life" 🤣

[@joshbaker2437]

I'll never retire, I'll just do less stuff every day I get older.

[@rickdiego5]

Get a set of magnetic sockets on Amazon and you won't drop your hex screws.

[@realSamAndrew]

Steve must have a business card that says No Customers under 70 years of age.😁

[@NoorRefrigerationsystem]

Hello sir How are You I love your channel

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Hey, thanks

[@onetip3759]

I've tried this too and I've tried everything I can KZbin but still not cooling the house.

[@mmartinm]

the run capacitor provides phase shift for auxiliary winding

[@bigdill53]

Hey Steve!! Any updates on that old lady with memory lost she kept forgetting to pay for the work done? Did she ever pay or what came about of the situation?

[@tombeilman5579]

I think they could have put the unit an inch or two closer to the house

[@davidparizek6741]

Steven, where did the word Mama come from 🤔

[@stevenlavimoniere]

a big troll from my channel use to watch my videos with his mama lol there you go

[@orfeous]

I love the jokes, the mamas.. and the troll voice :)

[@RustyShacklefordPocketSand]

The basement dweller in his Momma's basement. Steve's workin' again, y'all.

[@reese8752]

Miss Molly has a good life

[@lancelawrence3259]

Nice work

[@marshmower]

Grandmas Goodman seemed fine. Unit worked fine until a crackhead did the yearly inspection. She ended up buying a new heat pump. They used the same plumbing.

[@WeatherNut27]

Nice job Steve, Looking and Sounding good. I should try the Keto to give me your energy

[@stevenlavimoniere]

You should! .....high carbs and sugar is slowly killing you

[@fincherelli73]

What's the best brand in your opinion for furnace and ac. I'm close to 18 years old. If you were in Minnesota I would call you anytime. Honest work is hard to find now days. Thanks for the shitshow lol

[@dcrog69]

She sounds pretty good for 96.

[@anthonylosego]

Why 3" from the house????

[@frankrizzo3915]

good fix

[@leiferickson713]

Thank God for people like you willing to go take on all these shit shows

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey yes if it was closer it be in the house. HaHa nice video

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@mcroley591]

I don’t like those electrical disconnects at all.

[@fredrictown]

What you guys think about the misters to put on condenser my neighbors thinking about paying a guy that comes around selling them to put it on saying save 30 percent on electric I experimented years ago with homemade one it lowered head pressure and seemed to cool faster but don't think it would be worth it

[@waynespringer501]

I just put a cheap $20 7 mister amazon kit on mine. No way it saves even close to 30 percent. It does increase my delta T temp (meaning it blows cooler) about an extra degree on hot days

[@skidmarkman321]

Air cooled condensers will condense at 30 degrees F above the outdoor temperature, it has to bring the refrigerant gas above the outdoor temperature so the air even if it is 120 F will be "cooler" in comparison, the refrigerant gas can reject the heat outside and condense the gas to liquid, and once liquid , sub cool the liquid refrigerant about 15 degrees F. So for an R 22 system on a 95F day you expect a condensing temperature of 125 F because 95F plus 30F = 125F, R 22 at 125F = 279 psi. So on a 95F day you mist water and reduce the head pressure and amp draw , however the evaporator coil requires 279 psi yet gets 220 psi , this simulates a much cooler day than reality, which is great for the compressor however terrible for the units performance. Regardless of the metering device used there must be a minimum of 100 psi differential between the high side and low side to operate correctly

[@fredrictown]

@@waynespringer501 thanks

[@fredrictown]

@@skidmarkman321 thanks

[@skidmarkman321]

@@waynespringer501 By simulating a cooler day than reality the head pressure drops which sends less refrigerant to the evaporator coil. No AC unit works better by simulating a cooler day than is reality. In fact if you restricted air flow on the condensing unit by placing a newspaper around the unit , blocking air flow, the head pressure will increase which pushes more refrigerant to the indoor coil. The outdoor temp is what determines how much refrigerant you get indoors regardless of metering device used. Rheem made water cooled condensers in the 60's called "Coral Air " Water cooled condensers are great when the head pressure is controlled so to not drop below what you need, by placing a mister there is no controlling the head pressure drop. Imagine the house is 80F and it is 95F outdoors but the condenser is tricked into thinking its 80 outside too!

[@joshbaker2437]

That's a cool looking tree if you can let me know what kind it is. If you find out

[@skidmarkman321]

Japanese something? Maple? they did say in the video.

[@skidmarkman321]

Condensing units are to be at least a foot away from the wall preferably more, having the panel next to the wall would not pass inspection as for code.

[@davidnixon5832]

it's hard to stop a goodman...

Why are you replacing with used parts? Show that to customer tell em its new….lol

In Sacramento there are complexes that PG&E requires a cop to come with them, I was fixing stuff so was not hated like them, I did have a stray round come through the window in a drive by! Little kids throw rocks at the truck leaving sometimes in bad spots.

[@williegillie5712]

I don’t think she understood the joke. At least she knows a Frenchman when she sees one.

[@skidmarkman321]

No, she probably never hears rough language.

[@reese8752]

Maybe it’s one of those Chinese Crapacitors…

[@someguy9778]

Oriental.

[@ragazzo8134]

Don’t call them “orientals”, it is sort of an insult, Steven. They are “Asians”

[@realSamAndrew]

I've always had a problem with the "Asian" descriptor bc Asia is a big place and there are lots of different races and ethnicities there. Elon Musk is an African American also.
