I love this one! It's like a detective story. I hope these homeowners appreciate that instead of a new unit, all they needed was a couple of pounds of Freon and a $25 hard-start kit. You saved them a fortune, Steve. And I hope the homeowner's Dad especially appreciates how your expertise and willingness to do your best on every job is unusual these days in the business.

They need a leaf blower.

Love your videos Steve. Informative and a touch of humor. Good stuff.

Sounds just like a job I did on the heating side it ended up being a bad zone valve keeping the heat running, stuck wide open on the end switch. Keep up the good work Steve 💪.

Just me, but i would have pulled all the thermostats off the wall and then checked the heat zone pumps. If it turned off, reconnect each one until i found the bad one. 😊

Well done Steve you did the job, 👍😀 and it will be very interesting to see the follow up on the multiple thermostat loops - if you ever get the call back. That homeowner has got significant investment to make pretty soon when those condenser units finally turn their toes up.😳

Hopefully all those air filters and indoor coils were clean prior to charging units.

You’re absolutely correct. Specially with 20-year-old units. You have to check that evaporator coil. I believe Steve is a much better plumber than he has AC technician but I understand in his part of the world they only use air conditioning a couple months out of the year so a big part of his business is just gas and go and will deal with it next year is the customers attitude

Nice save, it may be the dry contacts in the Air Handler causing it to run for heat. What leaves out there holy smokes.

I usually offer to fix it as well as a estimate of replacing. It’s the customer’s decision. I will not dumb refrigerant into a empty unit though. That’s a waste of gas and harmful.

Gotta love when you come and fight all day to fix one thing and then another fucking problem starts

Well you did a hell of a lot better than the other two guys. 👍👍👍👍. It's all to easy to say the units are no good without even having a good look 😯😯

Heat & cold at the same time, I've traced it to a 'bad' thermostat in the past. Pull the thermostat off problem not there, checked wires ok, thermostat in oil mode connects cool & heat together!!! Switch it to electric -- A ok. I've seen it more than once!

Wow 😳 that is A lot of a/c units. ✌️

About a minute into the video it sounded like someone hopped in the shower. lol

Congrats on the 150k subs.

I am just a ham and egger but a renter was complaining about the AC not cooling. The AC compressor was running, the AC was blowing, so, I didn't know what was going on. The AC guy, who may have had a drug problem, said it was fine. The property manager wanted to buy some sort of portable AC unit. I told him he was crazy because he had an operational system and told him to have someone who knows what he is doing look at it. Sure enough, the guy said the heat and AC were running at the same time but I don't know how he fixed it. It was a hot air system, I don't know. The AC and gas were all firing at the same time. It did have one of those fancy wifi thermostats

@26:28 is why you have a following of over 150,000 subscribers and a ton of call back customers. Nice work Steve. Thanks for the upload!

Holy hell how have they managed to have all units and not had to replace any of them?!

Friendly FYI …. If condenser is dirty with high sub cooling it will cause it superheat to also run high. Those turds need to be carted off to the dumpster ASAP!!

Blowing the leaves from hell around those units would be so satisfying!

Our hvac on air side died a few weeks ago guy said we need a new unit, the board is bad and he cant get one they dont make them any more. This was a 20 min. visit(just trying to figure out how he could have tried to find one that fast) I found new board 30 mins later. And it didnt cost me $7000 for a new unit.

had the same problem with a oil fired boiler the summer time circulaters start running rad. are banging called oil co. THEMOSTATT had some solder connections that should not have changed the therm all was fine.

I wonder if you pulled all of the thermostats off than try to connect that red wire again and see if Zone 2 turns back on, if it doesn't then start putting the thermostats back one at a time until zone 2 turns back on?

Do you ever locate and repair the refrigerant leaks???

Spending the price of a new unit on repairing a 20 year old unit isn’t worth it. Anything can be fixed, sometimes it just makes no sense. Put that money into new equipment. Usually I’d get it by until it needs major leak repairs, coils or a compressor. Hard start kits aren’t expensive

That must be a big place to have all those units.

wow if you can afford 7 air conditioners you could afford a yard cleanup person to get rid of the leaves LOL I feel good about how clean mine is after seeing these I wash coil couple times every year and clean up all the leaves in and around unit

7 AC units. Insane.

Easy $700 in Freon. R22 is gold

With all those leaves, mice and chipmunk s would hang around and causes problems when they chew on wires !!

Just wondering how much did you charge for all the units?

I'm sincerely hoping that those systems aren't all on the same electric bill. If they are, I think I'd have to take out a 2nd job, just to run them. Then there's the oil bill, for the boiler that could have been running for months...

Gotta put cheese on those 'shit sandwiches' to keep 'em together!

The thermostat switch was on oil or gas. I think it should be switched over to heat pump. Check the back of the thermostat again.

My AC and furnace was replaced in 2019 after 31 years. Those looked like shit, mine still looked good. Glad I went HE as my bills are half what they were.
