A true New Yorker! Awesome ! June 11th, 2024 . I’m a student of HVAC in my city and almost half-way through with the program. In 3 days I’ll be taking the EPA Section 608 test. I will be buying Elitech manifold gauge along with a set of vacuum pump, scale, leak detector, and micron gauge. Thank you for your video. Best wishes to you and your family ! Cheers from Houston, Texas! It’s been hot here that ain’t fun. Hope one day to tour your beautiful state and the iconic Big Apple ! Take care .
Damn, i said couple years he'd have his own van a while back. The teacher has made him "look" and "feel" like a professional!!!! Thanks for taking him under your wing and giving him a go. We as adults, are so discouraged at the generations x and z we just shake our heads in shame and go on. You saw the fire in him because you had the same in your young days. Theres no way this kid will let you down. This vidio you could see him walking toward you with his head high, and chest stuck out!!!! Kudos my freind, you have my utmost respect on this one......
Good catch on replacing motor. You are teaching Daniel well on what to look for.
I'm sure you know this, but in/Hg refers to inches of Mercury. You were reading it fast and just giving us the basics. Nice unit.
Great video sir....i was about to post i would replace the fan to keep the system running until you replace it then you said...i already know what the customer wants to do...oh well...keep up the good work sir
I always say try to fix it first if it’s a fixable thing if it’s beyond fixable and it’s just going to feel completely then replace it but always give it the option to repair it first you also can get a customer in the future for being honest and let them know that when they had one little part that was broken they weren’t sold a new unit just because that makes it for a good customer in the future you might keep that in mind as well keep up the good work with the videos like what you’re doing.
Hi Mikey, love your way way of explaining. Very entertaining and straight to the point. I am a homeowner, went to school for Computer Science and Engineering so I know some concepts and can understand things, but I am no HVAC guy or have the time to learn. I had a BOSCH 1.0 installed a few years back, and I am afraid it is overcharged. So I was thinking of buying some digital gauges and measure SH and SC to figure it out. Yes the previous HVAC guy will come out and try to diagnose but I don't trust he was doing a good job, his hoses and gauges weren't working and i do remember at the time that the SH and SC were not to what the manual was saying, but we did charge by way of weigh in, and accounted for line length. Calling the original guy probably won't cost me much, but a new guy will charge me over 1200 just to take a look at it ! because they say they have to diagnose everything, redo the charge and so on.. Anyway I am looking for some gauges that don't break the bank but are also good enough to give an accurate reading. Again I am not a pro, and I won't use the gauges maybe but a handful of times, so what would you recommend for someone in my case? so far I was looking at Elitech EMG-10 ($189) or the Testo 550i ($247) or Elitech PT-500&PT-800 ($145) Plus I will have to by some $80 hoses to make sure i get a tight seal.
If you didn’t spend any money yet then my advice would be don’t waste money on digital gauges. Spend $70 for an analog manifold. They come with hoses as well. There’s apps you can download where you type the high side and low side and it does the math. On the outside unit there should be a graph that tells you what the pressures should be for the temperature. Unless you plan on getting into the trade or have money to waste , do it as cheaply as possible. Legally speaking you also need a tank to collect the refrigerant you take out as well. If it’s only over charged you shouldn’t have to pay over $250 imo
@@SpaceCadet327 Thank you
Good call! Just because a fan isnt pulling a bunch of amperage doesnt mean its good. This proves that your gut instinct from years of working on these systems is sometimes better than going by the numbers in a book.
wrong wire tested, if it's running proper speed/load/voltage and cap. value, the fan cap. lead will be approximately 1/2 of the total motor current draw ;)
he should have tested on other wire!
Mikey Pipes is a God fearing man, God bless you too brother!
only person or thing i fear is myself ;)
"hacks bring me stacks" love it
@@paulbibbee853 how can I get a sticker Mike?
Great video MP’s. Top shelf food. 😃👍
Keep it running!
You explain it to the customer and ultimately it's their decision. I'd recommend it to be replaced.
Awesome news Mike
Great job(s), nice shout out about God's blessings too. That is very refreshing in today's world. Thanks Mike!
great job mike
Keep training daniel he will be a great tech.
Nice job lads the winning team 👍
Good little vid ... Daniels doing good as well ... I'd would of replaced fan motor too ...
Great vide ! thank you!
Good video Mike👏
I would give them a quote on a new system. Like u said they want to replace so they’ll probably go with that option. To buy time I would let it run seems like it is cooling !
those square D "disconnects" are just that, a simple disconnect in a breaker style case, they are not a current limiting device. there's a tab to prevent a regular breaker being installed into them.
those disconnect housings are not meant for a current limiting breaker, because the physical housing size is too small and the breakers thermal output is too high, so it would overheat.
that said, those are known to be junk and they rarely work once turned off and and back on, bets bet is replace every one of them you have to service!
big yellow sticker on the side tells you, "no overcurrent protection". they rust/corrode inside from moisture and water and once flipped off, game over.
if I've replaced one, I've replaced a zillion ;)
I would change it as well Make the customer happy. We don’t know how long the near future is. Might be 2 more seasons before they changed it. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Like I always tell the customer how much money are you willing to invest into something you have to replace ! Plain simple to the point
Haaaaaaa…….”Hacks Bring Me Stacks”………Love it ! To the f’in Moon, Mikey!
Hey Mike,
That is a Square D disconnect. That device in the disconnect is not a breaker, it is strictly a disconnect/switch.
PJH
exactly and they're known to be junk and once turned off game is over, replace the whole disconnect.
in fact, as soon as you see one of them automatically assume it's bad and price replacing it, ALSO assume it's had one or both legs bypassed and test for power across Line-1/2 and both to neutral/ground!.
out in the field you'll find gobs of hackwork with one or maybe both disconnect legs bypassed and you assume it's powered off jumping in hand first can land you multiple feet away or DEAD.
When you have a bad part like that fan motor you always replace it so the customers unit will perform properly regardless of when it's going to be replaced! If that unit had failed an hour after you left that would make Mikey pipes look bad and you might not be called back next time !
Where the f are the kneeling pads I sent that kid! Let's kneel on the stones!

14:30 OMG the electrical 😳
Nice looking Rolls Royce at the beginning.
can you read these in direct sunlight? and if you leave them in direct sunlight while turned on do they overheat? ie like if you leave an ipad layimng the sun running MeasureQuick it overheats and dies after a few minutes on a hot day.. cant always find a shady place to hang the manifold.. I really like my FieldPiece sMAN but am always interested in other tools .
Yes replace . I have left a job thinking about changing about the motor . And 2 weeks latter I had to go back and replace it .
Hello from the great state of Michigan........ St Mike yes replace condenser fan motor put new life in that older unit
I would love to use Elitech Digital products in my business.
Change out for sure
Your a good guy Mikey way to teach em. Salute . -HVAC tech Chicago
Do you do much plumbing this time of year or just take on HVAC jobs ?
I'd change the CFM. Low(ish) cost to replace, will make the system run more efficiently and maybe get them through another few cooling seasons.
@@PipeDoctor you're the best!! it's faacinating to see you work on these different systems. I'm in SE Michigan and never have worked in an attached here. where I work now I just have to service magic pak thru the wall packaged units so it's boring, unless I do work on the side. keep up the comtent brother.
Yes Michael, God is Good and will always bring you what you need. I have never went without, as long as I do my part and keep it real with what God will have me do. I've always spoke to God and ask what he will have me do in everything, the answer doesn't always come immediately but it always comes.
God will provide !!!
Mike! Is Daniel still working out of a clc bag?
Depending on the cost of the fan I'd probably let it buck until they replaced the system. If its a $50 fan then might as well throw a new one in.
SPONSORSHIP BABY !😎🤑
Age refrigerant type coil conditions and repair costs best investment is replacement
I still prefer calling Miss Molly over Mikey Pipes ! hahahaa joking
The short bussssss man we miss hom
Replace fan. Easy Peasy. Keep em to next year replace it all
i would wait on the motor since they want to replace the system soon. keep homeowner's cost down
Maybe try another set of gauges . Wasn’t their vac pump off ? Maybe just cheap fancy gauges .
Are those gauges worth it do they last a while
why was the pressure jumping at the end? was it the hoses or gages? also why is your "go to" testo? does that mean you don't trust the elitech?
Teach him well: Diagnose, diagnose, diagnose! $$$$$
Mikey pipes great videos. You got to pay attention to “Sparky” he was checking amperage on the wrong (brown) wire.
Yes
The hoses I use I can remove the Schrader cores so I can adjust them so that they won't leak any refrigerant
When I just started using them refrigerant always use to spray out now they don't
I started watching your videos last week, but I didn't understand some things. On first I though that was your son next to you, but watching some older videos it seems every month you have different young helper next to you. Are they part of your 1 month school or what? Why is that? Greetings from Croatia, EU
So how are those Elitech gauges holding up?
What's a 2 ton IDS system cost?
I would let the homeowner know what I found and tell them it needs to be replaced. Here it tends to be a little hard to get people to change a motor that is running and we also find a bad disconnect. but it is what it is, you can lead a horse to water but cant make it drink.
Is that the house that had those rheems, On the new Bosch 2.0’s new installs. Think you guys were talking about some watch? And I would replace the fan motor and advise to look towards replacement on the whole unit with it being old and R-22 and having issues, puts foot in door and also is the right thing to do.
@@PipeDoctor danggg. Install looks great though !!
right before i leave work i had to check for a new one , I'm hungry!!
It's me Mikey pipes
Always depends on the cost
Might have to extend those drain pipes a bunch of water yoooo I neeed stickers
No matter what brand A/C you have, keeping it at 68 will wear it out quick. I keep mine at 77. I know that seems warm, but especially with the new systems, the more you use it the quicker you lose it...
@@PipeDoctor Wow that is cold; I keep my heat at 66.
@@PipeDoctor And you eventually want to move to Florida?
Provide a replacement proposal and tell the customers that time is limited and they have an opportunity to plan ahead about what their next move should be.
Ey mike saludos desde honduras
Jajaja ellas están bien Jajaja wee have a lot chicas latinas
I always give them there options and let them decide.
Who knows,I had a motor seized up,I asked the roofers for some air tool oil,broke it free,lubed it up and that was like 7 years ago,blows my mind! I figured she had someone replace it!
they likely changed it themselves or someone they knew(handyman)
@@throttlebottle5906,no ,she called me to see about a new system,and it was the same one,with the same old motor,with the orange paint pen marks I put on it! I marked the shaft ,before I took the fan blade off!
@@petersmart1999 surprising, but maybe it was ants inside it or it made the hard grease fluid again. lol
Agreed on recommending the motor replacement recommendation and that God is good 👍
👍
Let it run..if they are gonna replace the unit
The user manual still states that it will NOT connect to a scale - but will sometime in the Future...
👍🏼
ARE PARTS AVAILABLE? WHY ? I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH 2 TESTO'S AND FIELDPIECE LEAKING AND THESE 2 ARE ALOT MORE EXPENSIVE THEN THIS ELITECH BRAND. I WOULD USE THEM FOR ATLEAST A FULL SEASON BEFORE DOING A REVIEW CUZ EVERY PRODUCT LOOKS AND WORKS GREAT WHEN ITS BRAND NEW. MY $600. FIELDPIECE DIDNT LAST A SEASON BEFORE IT STARTED LEAKING REFRIGERANT THROUGH OR BEHIND THE SIGHT GLASS. REAL DISAPPOINTING.
THEY WORKED BEAUTIFUL WHEN NEW. LOL. MY TESTO'S LEAKED THROUGH SIGHT GLASS BUT ATLEAST THEY ARE FIXABLE. AND EASY TO GET REPAIR KITS.
Why did mine come with no book to give references or something that weird
Never mind hidden in the top left of case lol
@@PipeDoctor yes we found it , bro The thing that makes it a little different as you know sometimes we have to be very time oriented, but to close them up in the case every time after use is somewhat time consuming, although I like the idea of it because it protects them, I don’t not sure if I want to hang them in the van or put them back in the case every single time. What do you do?
Imagine if every tech that came out there unnecessarily put there gauges on that system , how long till that little purge adds up to a low charge ? Gauges one of the last things you should put on a system , too many new techs blow off a pound just checking a charge during yearly maintenance checks ,ONLY if everything else points to it should those gauges go on a system , just my 2 cents
at least its not value testers
Replace fan motor
The Bosch systems I have installed here put out a ton of water
That display is going to be a bitch to read in direct sunlight 😎😎😎
Is Daniel for rent ? I could really use a young guy like him. I,ve been thru 3-helpers this year.
Daniel will be available for full-time work--no Sundays--after he views the rude, insulting, demeaning tirade he gets from Mike's video. (And Daniel did nothing wrong, by the way, with the addition that he should have recommended a follow-up appt to fix dangling wire and bad power box.
@@brendandrury2177 Are you saying Mike was insulting ? How ?
Trust in God in Pennsylvania
Try to sell them a new unit. If it is r22
That disconnect should be moved,too close to the hose bib!
Replace the fan motor.
Keep
Always check line to ground
Please get Daniel some safety gear when messing with electrical issues.
Should change navien name on sticker to naive
What's with the Navi next to the pipe doc on the new sticker, the divorce is called off🤣😂🤔
🥃🍺🥃🍺🍺🍿🏌🏻♀️
Stay safe.
Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.
R22 is butter than 410 unit
Offer 2 opptions repair and or replace and mabey give a small discount on a new system if they chose the new system make it seem appling to get a new system sicne u said your self there thinking of gettign a new system
i would in that case leave well enough alone
Replace unit
Nope , don’t replace ,change out unit when it’s time
youre going to need to room the brand name off the stickers from navien. thats not gonna end well if they try to go after you for it. dumb laws.
Trademarks, shoulda spelled it differently
Change system not worth changing condensing fan motor
