After all those flight delays and having to drive back with his kid, he was so lucky good ole' Steve Lav just happened to have the right part in his truck! And on a Sunday! Great work and such caring service :)

It's people like Steve that won WW2 for us. Now we are free to criticize his plumbing work :-)

$385 is an absolute steal for a Sunday service call including a new valve. Great job!

Im new to hvac but i found this video extremely relatable…. I love when the homeowner watches me as i do my maintenance….. i can explain every step and they see the value in my service, plus I enjoy taking care of peoples comfort

You know I think the most impressive part of your videos is that you can carry on a ridiculous conversation with almost any type of customer and still not get distracted. I’m 9 years in and working on it!

Steve saves the day again! Not bad $$ for a Sunday gas valve replacement. Definitely worth the call for both you and him.

"Helicoptering?" My workbench and all my tools+ more are 20 ft from our boiler. We had the boiler replaced last winter. I helicopter all the time as a carpenter "tech" once was making off with my push broom. When I stopped him short, he stated "Oh I thought it was mine--mine looks just like yours!" OK, yeah sure!!

Dude is right though. Nothing like sleeping in your own bed. Almost as good as having heat.

Glad that guy had a change of luck, he called you on a Sunday and you showed up and had the part! Awesome! You're the man!

You were the best part of his vacation, master class Steve.

That sound of the furnace firing up is beautiful.

$385 on a Sunday. Holy Mack that’s cheap

That was his lucky day. The odds that you had the exact gas valve he needed. Lucky he called you for service as well!

The way you explained in great detail, it really put the customer at ease and probably made him feel like he was one of the crew. Great job!

The banter between you and him was as enjoyable as the vid ... Great price by the way ... Your a good guy Steve ...

Pretty awesome that you had that valve in your truck! Nice! Well done Steve!

Honestly gets the win , good people still out there. I wish you were closer to Merrimack Vally in Mass to install a new gas boiler.

Extremely reasonable pricing and thorough diagnosis.

Well done Steve. you've given that man the break he needed.

Man Steve , i'll tip my hat to you . It use to bother the hell out of me when a a customer wouldn't leave me alone to just get to the work at hand by asking a million questions!

Yup, and I learned from Steve that we cant always "unfocus" to interact with them. Ignoring a customer is ok at times, they should realize that we're doing our job and need to focus

I love your videos Steve!! And I apprrciate how you give out the knowledge to your customers.. the ones that are interested in how their units operate. We never stop learning. Knowledge is power. Love your vids, mama!!!

I was very interested to see how he pulled the gas valve. I do this work everyday and always like watching other guys to see their hand skills. Thanks Steve!

Good job Steven, I liked the troubleshooting process and pin point the problem.

Great Sunday save Steven. Nice of you to keep the cost reasonable. Good you keep a lot of stuff in the truck and it paid off again. Homeowner sounded like a nice fella, I think he enjoyed the conversation with you. Now what in the living he- was his wife doing ? 🤣

This is a great channel with great REAL content. I appreciate you man ✊.

Steve, you should keep at least one universal 1 stage gas valve on the truck. They do almost all valves. Thanks for the clip.

Just wow! Great job - love to Miss Molly

Learned so much from the video! Thanks !!

Great video, thanks for posting

That`s the first time I saw Steve use that manometer. Good thing to have! As far as the guy`s multiple headaches go, it seems like everything is pretty screwed-up in general at present...domino effect. Even the weather is a roller coaster ride. I know that temperature extremes effect people, animals and equipment in a negative way.

Hey Steve! Love your videos and learn a lot from them. Just a heads up though, you don’t have to take those plugs all the way out of the gas valve to check gas pressure, just crack them open. Saves you a little time.

Just the fix I needed tonight. Making wings and watching Stevo.

Steve is the man!! What a pro! What I don't understand is how can any lady not love this guy he's the man!

Boy, did you luck out. Where are the guys on You Tube who bashed me for saying that ya have to adjust the pressure on a new valve. Good job Steve.

I told her, `For you, if I didn't always do things wrong, I wouldn't be able to do anything at all.'

The armchair gas valve experts are out in force today

You gotta get a box added to your bills to check mark if they’re a cnn watcher lol. 10 percent added to the bill for the big guy ha.

Way to go Steve. I work for myself as a pool equipment repair technician down here in Central Florida. I enjoy your videos. If you ever want to move to a warmer climate I'd hire you with no questions asked. You'd be great on gas heaters and heat pumps. We get cold down here in the winter. Not like where you are, but we do get into the 40s at night for a few months out of the year and high 60s during the day. We have a couple nights a year that will dip into the 30s.

Good vid Stevy Lav. I enjoy the work and that guy’s story. Nervous Nelly he was.

I love watching you fix difficult ones like this furnace, Steve. With all your knowledge and experience you are a gifted trouble shooter!

To me, it appeared the troubleshooting part was easy. The actual repair work was a tough one.

Every aspect of this video was right on the money, especially the conversation.

Hi Steve, Love your content this Monday Eve. Your GOOD NICE HAVING GAS VALVE BROTHER NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN!

When Steve says he doesn't think he has it on the truck, the truck comes through sometimes in the end.

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍. Great job Steve!

"You're the Man"...txs for sharing

Dayshaview you might not believe this but I watch you every single day faithfully. Was at my daughter's house last night. Midnight same excat heater same problem......

Nice job, I learned something today. I do mostly oil, but also go to know more! Women, they r all wired the same! 40+ yrs. Same old shit. Good job Steve.

Great job . Loved the Flippin purge Valve shit lol died laughing.

Good job Steve.

My Mom is like that!!! She knows everything!!!

Good video. On the tower ports, you only need to back the screw out 1 full turn. Don't want to lose that tiny screw.

Another good working job video

Nice work

I always check the amp draw on the igniter. Then check the switch on the gas valve..

I Carry the Honeywell or should I say resideo VR824m does hot surface and spark ignition.. love you Steve. Crack me up everyday

If a man speaks in the woods...and there is no woman around to hear him...is he still wrong?

"That CNN shit?" You got THAT right, Steve!

That’d be bout $1000 on a Sunday where I work… I hate collecting with the prices we have

....heart of gold....Nerves of Steel. You deserve a giant break! Keeping my fingers crossed 4 U!

Great job Steve!! Enjoy watching you trouble shoot...

Steve saved the day! Plus Tax and Freight!

Haha always entertaining Steve. Lol

Hello from the great state of Michigan

That was really lucky you had the right part in the truck Steve!

I can understand driving 15 hours to sleep at home. Ive done similar.

Steve just grab the small body Honeywell Gas valves. Part number VR8215S1214. Those replace almost every single stage gas valve from what I've seen.

Hi Steve, I am wondering whether you tested the gas leak or not. Thanks.

How you doin Steve hope you had a good week

That clear condensate pan behind inducer motor and is recalled.

should have told her to shut off that dam vac,,but she was probably just trying to stay warm...LOL

Talk about lucky. What are the odds of you having, not just a valve that will work, but the exact valve for that furnace? He should run out and get a lottery ticket. It's his lucky day. Good job Steve.

Get some valves that have two stage heating for the new hot air units that are out now, good work

Thanks Steve for the video Enjoyed it much.Hey Steven is giving the gas valve a couple of taps like a stuck thermostat on your car a bad idea,can't get the part on a Sunday,Lol I know it's not professional but may run it till the next day.Great video Enjoyed.

the only problem with using that method for a gas valve is that if it got “stuck” closed, it could very well get “stuck” open, and no hvac guy with any sense would take that liability on. Better to just stock a few common gas valves on the truck and hope you’ll have what they need or have them wait until the supply house is open, it’s not perfect, but it’s better than having the house explode.

After having that apart I didn't see you check all fittings for gas leaks. You must have did it off cam.😂

I live in Chicago but have a second house in Tampa. Drove there 3 times when the flights were high. The worst drive, just way too far. 17 hours! Never again.

Ohhh Steve this video is gold. 36:36....... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Tap on that valve well it’s trying to open, happens to whiterogers valves in York . Then replace the valve

Afternoon Steve.

Hello Steve!

Sounds like You need a Supply Truck or Trailer to go around with You.

Sometimes your the bat sometimes your the ball.

Changed that inducer on Tuesday. Showed up at 1:45 and pulled out at 2:30✌️

Nice. Ice cream truck to the rescue!

Learned a long time ago never say (what else can go wrong) LOL

Don’t poke the bear 🐻 ladies … ya might end up in a suitcase down by the rivahhh

Question from a new guy to the field: if you dont have a direct replacement. Can you replace w/ any gas valve as long as the coil voltage is the same and the threads line up? Obviously youd have to adjust the gas pressure in this situation.

The customer is very logical with women, cool heads prevail. Steve unfortunately a lot of women are damaged from prior relationships so don’t always think it’s you, usually it’s the guy that beat her up in the past. Insecure woman is a poison
