Carrier Gas Furnace failed simple repair

[@arlynsmith9196]

Video length was fine. I enjoy learning while watching you work, and I do not watch for "giveaways" I watch for enjoyment and interest. Thank you for taking the time to make these!

Always nice to see our soft spoken Southern gentleman doing his thing; solving those unique HVAC mysteries. 😎

[@jenko701]

Your customers always have the most beautiful homes .

[@daddygc5814]

I agree,and also beautiful landscaping at those homes

[@RayRay-nb7tn]

Have a warm evening!!! Thank you for your talented knowledge of the trade. Great video no matter how short or long, Always the Best.

[@Garth2011]

No worries on the length of the video, sometimes its worth keeping the reality of a service call documented to show some of the obstacles a tech has to deal with vs. simply film the R&R matter. It really is deceiving with some videos that are only 5 minutes but the tech was on site for 2 or 3 hours getting set up or preparing for servicing some jobs. I recall one channel where the tech had to do some gardener work just to get access to a line set and condenser at the fence line which included the neighbors bushes as well. Crazy it is sometimes. Nice blue flame...easy peasy.

[@DennisBuckley-yd6cl]

Enjoyed watching as always Ted!

[@lisaleeper9399]

Great video! Keep em coming. Even if it’s a simple fix it was very interesting. Would like to see more videos.

[@JakePorterHVAC]

Thanks for the video, Ted. Stay safe out there.

[@emoneyblue]

We enjoyed every moment of the video thank you for sharing with us

[@seadeas]

Another good video, Thanks

[@scottmaz4063]

Job well done Ted

[@gambitmac]

Have been missing your content.

[@Eddy63]

Nice job Ted ... Thx

[@jordanclay5688]

Thank you for the videos and knowledge. I’m gonna invest in some pipe wrenches

[@mtgwdefender]

I personally try to always back probe the terminals while they are connected to the valve or any other component. I have come across some situations when I get good voltage with the wires desconnected, but you lose it and don't get amperage when they are connected back to the valve

[@hrdworkin7633]

Ted, don't be critical of Carrier proprietary equipment design. I have the same issues with Trane.

[@watermanone7567]

NIce work, do the Carrier valves come preset to the proper pressures or do they need to be checked on the job? The engineer who designed that valve needs to get another job at a fast food restaurant or something. Thanks for another great video.

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

Yes! Replacing a gas valve? 1200 dollars or warranty? Labor and?

[@stevencossaboon3237]

Nice job Ted.

[@danobrien3109]

No need to apologize for the length of the video Theodore. That goofy gas valve was only one in a number of things Carrier did over the years. Lennox was the same way with their stuff too. Think it was their way of being unique, Trane does the same with equipment. That attic access is sweet, don’t come across that too often. Thanks for sharing , be well and stay safe.👍👍🇨🇦

[@comfortman87]

Will your wire strippers and nut driver not fit in your meter case? If so, seems like it would make life easier... IMO

[@checkpoint3441]

He can carry all those things in one hand either way

[@mmengyan]

Ted, no problem with the length. Do you usually " soap test " the black gas line?

[@gutterratjp]

Hello from Texas. Not sure when we’ll use our heat at this point lol.

[@sknight0391]

Flame On!!! 😎👍

[@jimcarpenter2623]

So the 410a units are goong away? Great video!

[@errolsherman7353]

Do you put a manometer on the new valve to check gas pressure

[@bills6946]

You must check gas pressure when replacing a valve. They are never set to furnace manufactures spec. Usually too high. Will either overheat the furnace causing nuisance lock out or shorten the life of the heat exchanger.

[@zekenzy6486]

Great video. Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, May I ask, What is purpose of using drip leg on gas pipe ?

[@timgranata3016]

Collects condensation, and also I think I've seen then full of like dust and crud that I guess very slowly builds up

[@mattb1967mb]

Traps any sediment in the gas line. Prevents it from getting in the gas valve.

[@daddygc5814]

So that any debris in the pipe drops in the drip leg ,before it can get in the gas valve

[@danwittels5542]

I blame the Trane thermostat for all the problems! 😉😄 Good job Ted!

[@bills6946]

Did you omit the leak test and manometer valve calibration or not preform them?

[@TedCookHVAC]

I try to keep these videos shorter to get better views. And not do the same redundant content on everyone if possible. Mainly just trying to show the common failures and repairs we see every day.

[@bills6946]

@ Thanks for the response, Ted. I hoped you weren’t taking short cuts. From a fellow South Carolinian and subscriber.

[@thereve]

That looks like an epic game of The Floor is Lava

[@cliffyb5896]

I don't know what you did to your hand but that looks like it hurt. Take care of yourself, thanks for the video

[@jhatfield2755]

Id check gas pressure before id codemn it but good video

[@renj6531]

Those regulators at the equipment must be a carolina thing Ive lived in Georgia Texas Arizona and California and never seen those, they just have 1 regulator outside at the meter

[@dporrasxtremeLS3]

And check pressure at the gas valve...

[@richc3437]

Did you burn your hand recently? I have watched most of your videos and I feel like I would have noticed it before. I hope it heals fast; burns are nasty.

[@mrgreen9086]

In a pinch I smack the valve when it's putting out 24 volts just to get the customer going until I replace it.

[@ThatKoukiZ31]

Ah yeah flex the crap out of the burner box. 2020-2024 carriers with that style box have misaligned burners so often because of exactly that. Also bad manufacturing tolerance. Especially 2021 and 2022's, I saw one the other day that had 350 or 450 ppm CO in the exhaust. I torqued it back and got it sub 300, then put a spacer under one screw to get it sub 250ppm while we ordered him some new parts. Well got it warrantied. Its usually the left most burner but some times all or the right side. Easy to see the real bad ones.

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

Was there a reason for the foil tape on your shirt or was it just a fashion statement?

[@daddygc5814]

All carhartt clothing or workwear has that patch

[@daddygc5814]

Oh,wrong patch ,I see it now

[@daveoswald5375]

I was thinking the same thing. It must be a new style trend. Haute Couture meets HVAC= HVAC Couture...lol..

[@barryriem3216]

Go Tigers!

[@darrinswanson]

Dude! How the heck did you burn your hand so badly?!

[@nomusicrc]

We don't mind the long videos. Size doesn't matter lol

[@srercrcr]

Ask the kids where the Frog room is................

[@RogerGregory-vl4kb]

Nice Pen.

[@johnwalker890]

Wiggle it, just a little bit, high end companies always have to make everything complicated.........

[@daddygc5814]

I dont know why none of you hvac guys dont carry a rag with you on jobs ,i did and used it all the time

[@kevinlawson8124]

Carrier parts are too expensive!

[@northwoodsguy1538]

All about money 💰?

[@CarreraTrackOntheFloor]

That looks like a newer furnace.

[@realSamAndrew]

I did a double take on the title. At first it sounded like the simple repair "failed". As in the repair didn't work 😋

[@majorpayne5289]

👍

[@alberthodge631]

the problem is the trane thermo on a carrier 🤭🤭

[@OPDrags]

I absolutely hate those trane stats

[@susandavis5833]

Simple repair? Seems like you had to take the world apart to get to the bad guy. I guess it could be a lot worse.

[@gerardomireles122]

No helicopter 🚁

[@philmccracken2012]

So you sold them this furnace a while back and now you're there working on it. The part that needs to be replaced you have to order only from the manufacturer? If that's correct maybe we shouldn't be using this style furnace.

[@TedCookHVAC]

I did not sell it to them.

[@filthyphil8208]

Carry a permanent marker for marking junk/warranty parts and a rag. Wiping the pipe dope off on the insulation is a douche move.

[@eric_seguin]

I just watched your video on how to do it yourself clean your outside coils. Now I'm going to tell your people what I know as a property manager. The new younger a/c techs are lazy and crooked. I watched a guy clean coils without cleaner and through the fan. When I called his boss on him he was fired immediately. If a young fat tech comes out to do your service watch him. And watch this man. He is no BS. If the job is not done right you are throwing your money away and ruining your unit. Have a licensed HVAC man do your service and watch them like a hawk.

[@_n8787]

Dependes on who you hire, a lot of property managers are cheap asses that hire a guy that charges 60 for a PM. Hire a company that gives you a list of what has been checked. Most of the cheap companies want to be in and out as soon as possible or use a low cost PM to get in the door and upsell you. I’ve gone behind cheap techs that have blatantly missed or not even looked at blower motor compartments FULL of mold. They just sprayed the outdoor coil and left.
