Central Air Conditioning System will not cool house part 1

[@philliipjones4889]

There you go again Steve fixing it so people can stay cool. Nice job

[@skyym3629]

They Live, They Live, the Best advice I have heard on your vids. Thx. for the info and vids. God bless bro.

[@robertrdz1392]

I already knows this stuff but I like and love to watch your videos and comments...

[@NestorHVAC]

Nice job, I always enjoy watching your videos and learn from them.

[@ManicMechanic007]

The boots are a great idea. Next level mama.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

easy to slip on and off keeps my feet dry and clean so i can go into house with out a problem .i do believe its a good idea

[@jemhvacvaii8136]

dirty dirty condenser! most likely cut off on high head pressure and that contactor was pretty charred . great job steve! as always

[@dklucas1]

Excellent and professional job Sreve

[@michaelpadovani9566]

Detective work! I'm lucky my condenser is under my deck on the north side with no trees. Best case scenario.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

under the deck ..not good

[@michaelpadovani9566]

deck is 10-12 feet above the unit, don't see that being a prob (?) plenty of space for air flow

[@stevenlavimoniere]

Michael Padovani well you will be fine then

[@LexVance]

Great job Steve! 200 from 20,000 subs. woo hoo! I started watching when you had about 6,000. Incredible!

[@WeatherNut27]

And now 2yrs later 83,000+ subs. Wow! I hope he doesn't change a thing about his video routines.

[@khangle8417]

hard working man knows howto fix the aircondictioner

[@theamerican7131]

Good job, Steve. Enjoy your videos a lot. Thanks.

[@rwbillings]

Nice service call, Steve. That unit was really dirty. I couldn't believe how the mulch was piled up against the condenser. Not good, mama.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

always best to maintain the units no one does though

[@gagepruett4602]

did I just see you putt a 2 ploe in a single pole contactor.

[@gagepruett4602]

[@dburto13]

Great Job Steve! Next level Ya'll! Just got back from Pigeon Forge Tennessee, does my heart good to go back to the mother land :)

[@stevenlavimoniere]

cool trip i bet

[@dburto13]

Was awesome Steve, beautiful area, too much good food, LOL

[@1988MowerMan]

Good work Steve.

[@obesefeline]

Baby dog deserves some fillet mignon on the new grill to celebrate another excellent video....

[@roycesnow2356]

I really love Rudd/Rheem great product.

[@efman2k3]

Great video Steve. Thanks for posting!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

thanks man

[@dennis-sj6im]

nice work Steve

[@hllywd964]

Nice work Steve!

[@phillipgroom9187]

Very interesting, I like to trouble shoot Electrial problems. Thanks for that video.

[@stevenmoomey2115]

I got a call on that exact same unit, as the CRAC Unit was down. I made the mistake of taking the cover off without pulling the disconnect. The controls box was full of water to the brim. You Never saw someone move as fast as I did to the disconnect, and no it hadn’t blown the fuses. You should get some “ Insulated Pin Terminals, from McMaster-Carr, they are helpful when going from a screw terminal to a lug terminal. BTW I told them the we’re playing a dangerous game by using a residential unit to cool a computer room.

[@nicaman96]

Great job

[@paulschmidt7473]

I'm wondering if a start on cleaning one of these, would be to take the air compressor hose to the INSIDE of the condenser coil.... Since stuff gets sucked in the side, with the fan blowing out, this would be the reverse and might blow a lot of the stuff off and out.....

[@danielchappell9355]

Where did you buy your boots? I went to few stores but they don't carry them.

[@rubberman2006]

I have the same Ruud unit. So it’s ok to go from a single pole contact or to a double pole?

[@Brad1237202]

Another quality job Steven!!!

[@danielsteele7544]

You and baby make my day.

[@trevormangus7832]

Why not spray from inside out when you already had the fan motor out of your way missed opportunity to back flush the coil

[@ddcws1]

I have a question? Is this a TXV or a piston type metering device? Say it was a piston metering device what would happen to the Low side of the system and the Superheat if the condenser was blocked up like that? Thanks

[@donnierobertson3088]

Nice job and video

[@TheChipmunk2008]

Steve, sorry if you've mentioned this somewhere else, but what meter is that you're using (the clamp meter that does capacitance too)... it looks handy and I'm in the market for a new one

[@Fireship1]

Three thumbs down from the cellar. It's hard to know how a real working man does it when you can't leave the comfort of the cellar! Good video Steve.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

the old dweller in the celler, fella poor looser ,at lease he is watching ,,maybe he wil learn come thing like how to work out in the real work ,,not only on mama unit in the back yard ,he is still milking off mama,, he calls her the cash cow ...moooooooo

[@jeffm2787]

Pleated filers can allow more air IF the material used is not very restrictive. Problem is almost all the pleated filters go overboard on the filter material. Nothing like trying to force air past a coffee filter.

[@genemyers834]

Steve do i connect wires from condenser to furnace board ?

[@sammacnab3514]

I really like your videos

[@allhoursmaintenance3022]

Good work, I love them old Ruuds, bullet proof. I just by pass the delays and let the thermostat take care of it. No sense in having multiple delays in my opinion. But then again you have to weigh the ins and outs of a new t-stat vs delay board. Some people dont like the new t-stats.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

high /low pressure with time delay is there to save the compressor in case of a problem .i guess it did its job

[@MrPajamaman40]

lol your crazy Steven , I like it, and Great Job on that a/c unit MA MA

[@karenhorsekeeper1309]

What is your opinion on (home warranties) Appliance break down coverage? lets say to cover the cost of reclaiming my R22 refrigerant?

[@Jeepjones85]

Mine when out last weekend and it was making the contactor buzz so loud I thought my compressor was going out, I've heard them make noise before but this was the most ungodly racket, you could actually hear it driving up the drive, I just bypassed the pice of shit because my digital tstat had one built in.

[@Randylazz]

What should your ohms readings be on the contractor coil?

[@jonhexom8310]

Nice job Steve. Baby has been working too hard, lol.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

she loves to go to work

[@harrydickson4575]

Next level Steve

[@Ingmaringmar]

you dont use the foaming cleaner any more steve?

[@ashtreejr]

Steven, so how has that porter cable drill worked out for you? I used the big bulky dewalt stuff initially then moved on to the small craftsman 12v lits, but been eye balling those smaller impact drill/driver Makita combos. Appreciate the videos, have a cool one.

[@charlespate6674]

Do you just replace a single pole with a double?

[@user-hu4hx6bm6m]

spray from inside out when you already had the fan motor out

[@phillipjoy8191]

How do you like your field piece meter? I sure do love mine.Enjoyed the video

[@gort400]

I heard you mention pleated filters. i am running a 24x24x1 Filtreat 1900 Maximun Allergen. 90 Day Airflow. ( Cats and Dog in house) There is only one large intake in the livingroom. The AC unit is 2.5years old. Air flows in from the bottom up through the A-coil looking thing, then through the ductwork as cooled air. QUESTION: Am I running the wrong filter?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

you need 900 sq inches per ton to run them 24 x 24 =1056 for 1 ton how big is your unit??? i bet its bigger then 1 ton. run the cheap filters is what you need to run

[@gort400]

I think he said it was a 3.5 ton

[@stevenlavimoniere]

run the cheap filters and it will run better you need the air flow how big is the return flex ??? 3.5 ton need 2 16" returns i beat you have one

[@gort400]

Just went outside and checked. 3.0 ton. Only one return inside. It's where the filter is. On the Living Room wall there is a intake with a louvered metal grate. All the return air flows into this big opening. When you take the grate and filter out you are looking into a big box opening created by the walls. The copper pipes come up from the concrete floor. Then if you put your head in and look up you see the A-coil thing. Single story 1500 sq ft 26 yr old house, 2nd heat pump A/C (inside and out) since house was built. Deep South Alabama..HOT!!! I will get the cheaper filters...thanks for all you do. Watch all the time tell everyone about your skills!

[@joshb124]

Sounds like I also got the wrong filter. Same situation, cats, dog, dust and was going to see if it was better than the cheap ones. its 16x25 1500 microns but its a 30,000 btu Rheem and I was already concerned about low airflow before this filter.

[@andrewchavez4055]

@stevenlavimoniere I have a question bout my rheem ac unit

[@paulgugger8987]

Love the videos keep them coming!

[@phillipjoy8191]

You sound like one of us southern boy's from South Carolina .

[@stebro2738]

Why are all these units..In new England & down here in North Carolina.. ALL placed at ground level?? Cheap ??? Why are they not placed 1/2 block above the ground to keep the leaves and other debris out??? Baffles me!!!

[@howardblasingame7961]

The dog is a star

[@stephenaustin6551]

How many pairs of gloves per day ?

[@Taluvian]

Delay on make to prevent short cycling?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

low /high pressure controls with time delay will save the compressor if there is a problem . if any pressure control goes out there is a 5 minite delay between start up hence the time delay .

[@jimbola77]

cute doggie steve I have one just like it mans best friend!!!!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

yes mans best friend ,dogs are the best

[@hvacrjunky6119]

Good fix.

[@jevinbrown7402]

What gauges are you using?

[@yellowdeer7163]

The little Mama is on the job! I hate pleated filters too! But people gotta have 'em. It's like those damn companies that sell those flushable DIAPERS!

[@poppypiesdad1]

you bark at them baby the dog . Protect Steve

[@ismailahmed8031]

Niec job

[@charleskinney869]

Why did you go back with a 2 pole

[@jemhvacvaii8136]

those landscaping guys can be a pain sometimes with the mulch and grass!

[@samthemanrodriguez9747]

yea awesome video

[@cruz8458]

My fan won't blow in my house and the ac unit outside tuns on but the line freezes plus the thermostat won't click on my ac with out me pressing that little bottom on the air conditioner connector

[@jimbola77]

she is like am I on payroll daddy????

[@user-hu4hx6bm6m]

Where is your coil cleaning liquid

[@mikeponte]

why do you wear boots and gloves?

[@stevenlavimoniere]

lol mama told me to

[@builderman912]

because people are gross, and if you go through the thought process, you will realize that all the dust all over everything in the furnace cabinet is actually dead human cells.......gross

[@joekatynski8171]

+Builderman912 lol I call it people dust

[@sincityhvacr]

the dog is the greatest thing in this video lol

[@shutupandsquat1]

spray coil inside out champ works much better

[@stevenlavimoniere]

always good to do a full proper cleaning i just did not have the time that day so what i did was better then nothing .. i did tell the owner about yearly cleanings /maintance ..

[@shutupandsquat1]

true

[@jrovalinoful]

Great videos. Thanks so much for sharing

[@ryans413]

That's different for a sec I was almost like its missing a compressor but then I saw it in the back

[@rtoweprojects]

I'd definitely change that capacitor.

[@MrCruzinio]

good info man.! hate dogs tho.:)

[@user-hu4hx6bm6m]

Cleaning coils is from inside out

[@nermal26]

9:50 cleaning ac 150$ at least by my ac guys prices

[@dragonfly1414]

steven light me up 20:33 where do I read for 3 ton...911 steven. She just like a cup of joe keep you awake.

[@locutz]

I hate these systems that be up in attics ,they're annoying AF to service and repair

[@keyroncampbell]

only in the summer

[@fabulousfabrications1985]

That thing is a dinosaur man they need to replace it with new AC unit!

[@slowjamcdub]

Phoenix Marzrover no way! That's just what a tech will tell ya! They can run for 40 years!!

[@thearbiter8568]

Chris Company's would be out of work if they followed your policies, and the power companies would be stretched to their limits because the units would have no efficiency.

[@keyroncampbell]

he part changing now... changing stuff that don't need to be change... check all the volts for all the parts first.

[@paulgugger8987]

Old cheap part save them a service call, just replace it while you're there
