Happy Father's day to you Mikey! I truly enjoy your videos - I feel like I always learn something - and most of all what that is- is this ---that there is still one person out their who cares about the quality of work he does and that his client/customers receive excellent service and solution to problems. I wish that was a universal standard of all those people we call and relay on to help us in time of need. We can't do it all ourselves that's ahy we count on you. I hope you not only continue being who you are but that you also instill in others, doing this work, to have the ethics you live and work by as a professional. Thank you because you allow people to be able to rest peacefully once you provide your service. Respect, Joy & Peace to you always.

Happy Father’s Day brother thank you for the videos

Nice for the Informational videos, love watching them from Reardan, Washington. I have a similar problem on a compfortotal mini split. The compressor won't come on, it tries then the overload kicks it off and it will try again in about 3-4 minutes. Its pulling 20 amp on each hot wire, 1p 220volt. LRA is 24. I also tried the hard start kit still wouldn't start it. the ohms on the compressor winding are 4.3 3.5 and 7.4 all I can figure out is the compressor seized up. only 1.5 years old

Happy fathers day mikey

HAPPY FATHER'S AS WELL MIKEY.......

6:37 that's where a non-contact tester is a helper, wave it near the condenser/s and disconnect/s before touching anything. in case the ground is bad and whole unit or disconnect housing is live. when in doubt always shut off the breakers first, then go touching and testing.

I didn't explain that one yet. I explained that I tried everything possible to get the compressor to start and I will check warranty status on Monday (tomorrow)

Get a megohmeter to determine if compressor is indeed bad.

Happy father's day to you, Mikey Pikes. Quick question. on the second one, when you service the units and then went back to check it out. and told them that their pump was bad. How do you deal with them crying? And they don't say you just serviced it a couple of days, and we spent all this money? Do they complain like there's no tomorrow? And what do you do? Thank you.

Those maintenance techs need to learn the load calculations so they dont have to check the capacitor unplugging it. 2652 x amps ÷ volts = MFD Great job on that first call, glad you didn't get zipped too bad.

yeah, it was only 110 volts - remember ladies, its not the volts but the amperage that can get you. I teach testing dynamically - not disconnecting the cap risking an issue.

Happy Fathers Day Mike, You should buy a lottery ticket, you can run 1000 no ac calls before you get zapped by line voltage from the condenser low voltage wire like that. Also fuck installers labeling anything, I HATE working on the wrong unit. I bet that 8 system house was labeled. Thx for filming a good call.

Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social, looking thru some comments/reply? I guess some of your customers,family and friends still checking in on you again. Looks like a another act of God.again. You know the national electrical code book requires a three clearance space on the electrical service side of the equipment.

I'm not sure that was anyone's fault, other than a failed capacitor/corroded terminal connection. granted the HV/LV wiring should have been separated better, with the LV wires farther away from high current areas, like capacitor and HV wiring to/from contactor to capacitor/compressor. granted, they're allowed to build and ship them as such, as long as it's all the proper rated wiring, as that shows burn throughs and cross-connected voltages can happen!
