Severely Neglected Air Conditioner Stopped Cooling! #hvacguy #hvaclife #hvactrainingvideos

Black Widow is Not so Common but most folks don’t realize that most homes have Brown Recluse. 🤔

It looks like a previous tech left an old cap just lying in the tray?

You got her going again. Man that thing was filthy. Good job

You really go to the next level. I'll tell you that for nothing. You should keep a couple pieces of 2X10 in van for places like that where you can span the dangerous opening in the attic. And one good thing the goddamn smoke detector WASNT chirping the whole time you there anyways

It seems that it’s all rentals owned by slumlords 😢😢😢🤬🤬🤬

Wish you included the price per job in these videos.

I like the longer videos. No insulation in that attic. It’s not going to help them out at all. She’s going to be like you fixed it too good now our electric bill is 600 bucks a month. Lol.

It makes baby jesus cry thinking about what jack leg put that system in originally. TXV bulb in the wrong spot, jigsaw puzzle of a trap for the evap coil, and they also pinched down that 3/8 evap coil line down to what? is that 3/16" or 1/4"?

Nice work Curtis. Did i say that is 422B? Mixed with R22? I have never use that, wonder if its cheaper than 407C/427A that I’ve been using. Please and thanks 🙏

Hey Curtis, amazes me how folks neglect system maintenance, which would go a long way to keep their A/C cooling. It's not that hard but guess when you have uneducated folks, they just don't understand. It keeps you in business for sure. Great video, love your content and Git-R-Done attitude brother! God bless you sir, stay safe in your travels! Wishing you a wonderful 4th July holiday!

That Hvac was bad 😮. I had called a couple companies to add 2lb of 410A freon to my unit, they both charging $120/lb ☹. Is that the going rate for 410A ?

Did you say there was raw sewage around the condenser? That's vile; I might have had the landlord deal with that first. There was a lot to that one; nice fixes.

carry some spider spray an spray the area

Dadgum if I would have cleaned it before any work was done

Maybe use a better marker so it does not fade.
Also mark it in multiple places.

if that is raw sewage being alowed to run the codes an epa would be all over that owner for that to get fixed

Black widows are very common in CA. Usually don't see them in daytime, just the egg sacs and webs. But at night they come out to feed. if they are hungry they will wait by the spider web until something comes along.

Dam hahaha yall not gonna short me are you hahahaha dam haah that’s messed up

Nope fuck striders I’m done!!!!

you walked in on a train wreck that all from poor maintenace great of taking care of it i enjoy all your videos

Good Lord. That was terrible. Good work sir.

Glad you weren't shot!

Respect voor je werk top 🎉

I loved the start of the video. Had me sitting here a tad before 5am laughing like a fool as you caution us about select spiders, and what may provoke them... then proceed to shove your hands right into everything. hehehe probably just me, but after watching the entire video I'm still laughing about that. Great job as usual, keep them coming.

That thing really was Ruud!

The condenser coil was filthy. and the furnace filter was plugged solid. Why would you check anything out before you cleaned the coil and replace the filter? Nice job cleaning that A coil. Airflow should be the first thing to check, no?

i’ve found door mats always work better than air filters .

A lot of people don't know that they have to maintain a system let alone change a filter. I take five minutes to explain what they need to do.

I recall I went out to a no cool resi call because the cu coil was impacted and falling apart. His dog also found his favorite spot on the coil. So I explained after the coil is replaced, he wash it every month and he put up a small fence to keep the dog away from it. Dog will be sad I'm sure.

Thank God I do commercial.

That's one nasty AC unit

Curtis, you should wear the gloves like Steve Lav. This post makes me glad to be retired.

Great job Curtis. Another system brought back from the bone yard.

Down came the rain and washed the spiders out, ...

Great job guy

Some people, they think they can run the unit in the ground and think it be an easy fix when they call you. I bet they neglect their cars too.

Some home owners used blue filter came with the evap coil or recommended by the installers I found the dust on evap coil like blanket blocked air flow . I recommended to uses better quality a/f 7-8 micron plus like filtret brand

at least there isnt a liquid line restriction, sheesh is that 1/4 to 1/8" on the LL?

to totally put in all the gas into a system from a tank, use your reclaimer (reverse flow) so u dont lose any refrigerant. FYI works fanastic!

No picking your nose or biting your finger nails after this repair job. :~)

Who was supposed to be maintaining that HVAC system? Looks like it hasn’t been touched in 20 years.

So what would have been the bill on something like this? What would a new coil have been? Just wondering...Must be renters... or just stupidly lazy.

New vacuum pump? Nice

Shame that other technicians can not remove the old parts they replaced. Old capacitors?

great cleaning tech

If you are married or have a gf, if they watch these videos, I'm sure they would have a newfound appreciation for what you do to bring home the bacon. I have had ac issues I know I could fix, but I ain't going in that attic. Awesome vids.

I used dollar store Awesome for coils and blowers, beat Calgon chem...

How the hell do people live like that sheesh

Great job, might suggest when you change refrigerants you mark it with a paint marker ,new refrigerant & date so it doesn't fade out on outside of cabinet! Or mark it inside too with regular marker . Just a cya tip.keeps you from guessing on return call's because as many as you do you can't remember everything .
