    If the system is old, replace everything if the client will go for the money. If not change compressor and do thourough check of the rest of the existing system good luck, Love all your videos. Would love you and your crew to replace my furnace for me, a 25 year old counterflow but I am in the northern burbs of the city and I use oil which for some unknown reason you stay away from them. Steve Lav does oil but too far away. Guess I will have my oil supplier do it for me then. I wast a top of the line Thermo Pride counterflow with a beckett AFG burner. Day hi to your mascots Stoley and GiGi. I am the one who sent them the Biscuits a while ago. Thanks for the hat, sticers and pen. Keep posting your great videos. Very informative, educational and entertaining !

    Whoever originally installed the system may have brazed the lines without first running nitrogen in the lines. This could have contaminated the oil causing the compressor to go south. Also if you replace the system without replacing the lines you could be leaving the comatament oil in the lines to damage the new system.

    Suggestion: for completeness, you might want to add an extra minute of video footage, to show the condition of the inside of dwelling air filters, since that could have been a factor in the compressor failing.

  • @PipeDoctor

    Great suggestion! For the record and for full transparency, the homeowner is quite anal about monthly even during the winter months changing the filters now granted your air conditioning your HVAC filters should be kept clean at all times however it is even more important that they remain clean during the season to prevent a restriction of airflow in the heating season, a filter can result in a high limit Plenum sensor going on safety

    Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. Hmm, "burn out" oh yes, replace outdoor unit, replace a coil and flush out line set. bad compressor? cause maybe bad low - pressure cut off switch or some one pass the switch. Again hot oil burned the winding on the electric motor, why called "burn out" system has been contaminated. Come on Mikey, you still driving around central park, working out some more of your problems,lol. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

    Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments/reply?? I guess some of your customers,family and friends still checking on you. When you were young, did you and your friends went to Chuck E Cheese to eat pizza. Or did you go out hunting with a man like Dick Chenney. Do you still have a back bone made of steel. If so, then you still might have some "Big Dick" Chenney qualities. You are a little better than Joel Osteen today. May God keep you and watch over you.
