That poor lady didn't have a word to say.😂❤👍😁
All I can say is “bless her little heart” 😂
let the lady guys, sometimes people dont have anyone to talk, shes a good heart
Kind of what I was thinking too wanted somebody to talk to
There's plenty of places on this planet, that could use more women like her. Carefree, warm, enjoy's sharing and laughing etc. We need less nasty and hate.
That lady needs to breath in between all her words lol she never stops 😅
That drives me nuts. I get distracted when the customer hovers around and talks nonstop. I try to listen to them but then I find myself forgetting to do something or missing a step. You're a good man Curtis. I used my coil gun yesterday and sure do like it. I'd better for what that thing cost!
Curtis you get dogs barking, snakes hissing and old ladies yacking. LOL
Some of my favorite videos from Curtis have nature sounds - mostly bird calls, in his morning calls. The constantly barking dogs and beeping smoke detectors? Eh, not so much.
February 17, 2088…she’s still at the fence talking 🤣🤣🤣
That lady Is Tripping me out 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Lady herself is Tripping. 😬👍
Better than a annoying barking dog
she's old school deep south...good people.
I live in the Carolinas and alot of my customers are the same.
be sure and service the blower motor and check the blower wheel. scroll compressors can handle liquid slugging, or it would already be dead. it does reduce cooling capacity.
@@catwrangler1613 I'm in Mississippi, I can relate 😅
420 That is high! Cracked me up.
I've had customers like this that just talk and talk and talk, but they're funny so it kept me entertained.
And the best part is when they distract you for a bit and you make sparks with high voltage
That's a real Helicopter right there lol 😊
She lonely 😂
At least she didn't have 4 or 5 curtain climbers out there hoopin' and a hollerin' at the same time! 😅
The woman reminds me of my dearly departed momma. She never knew a stranger and could carry on a conversation with anyone.
Awe...you made a new friend Curtis. Your customer relations and calm demeanor are probably appreciated. Properly removing and cleaning that evap coil should be a breeze. Good job as always!
That evaporator coil definitely needs a cleaning. Great job Curtis! 👍
Thanks 👍
She just chatting away 😂
Great handling of the tenant, Curtis! You come across as friendly, efficient, and effective in your work while she shares all her stories.
It’s like Jerry Springer up in there! CURTIS!!! CURTIS!!! CURTIS!!! 😂😂 😂
I’d say the evaporator coil was more than a little dirty
Nice cleaning job Curtis, you sure had a Chatter Box there to keep you company 😉 😊 Au
Great job as always curtis chatty Kathy and all thanks for the video
Glad you enjoyed it
I do like that they raise those units up out of the dirt. Thx.
And out of dogs pee! LOL
Very nice lady. She's definitely a talker.
Oh man, that lady is a trip! 🤣
You have a lot of patience Curtis. regards from UK.
Uk is blessed with mini splits
Good Ol southern vibe customers haha
That little lady is lonely bless her heart.
There is a better style of brush for cleaning the A-Coil. It’s called a chipping hammer brush. It has only enough handle to hold the bristles. They can be purchased at a welding supply store in carbon steel and stainless. 4-7 bucks each. With that long handle in the way it’s hard to reach the center section of the coil.
Your helicopter seems very friendly. And hardly anything to say.
😂😂
I have a 24000 BTU inverter Split unit in Greece. Super quiet and efficient. My guy comes once a year and washes every thing, both inside and out. I can't believe how dirty they let them get.
I miss them southern lady talkers now that I'm in California 😂
This was one of the best videos. Your thought process was clear and very articulate. The best part was there is no dogs and no beeping smoke alarms but even better was the lady she was very entertaining I didn't understand a word she said but oh boy he needs some milk 🥛
Thank you for an extra special video, she sure can talk up a storm, well done on all your work (from UK)
Well, at least your visit gave one of her friends relief from a phone call they might not have answered. 😆 Forty-four? Girl, I hope you got quite a few more years to go before you gotta worry about hot flashes.
This lady is cracking me up
Curtis, I admire your positive attitude and persistent to do the right thing.
Dirty coils creats a restriction and high/ weird pressures on the liquid guage.
Very vocal client 😅. Another good job.
Barbecue brush with handle would be great
Had one like that recently, ended up being an oversized piston.
That’s what I’m thinking too. It’s got ok to high suction pressure so can’t be airflow. I’m aiming for oversized office.
The top part of the evaporator coil didn't have any condensation on it where it attached to the suction line.
You might have considered increasing the blower speed, at least temporarily to increase superheat.
I use the same wire brush to clean evap coils sometimes… Cut the handle off though. So much easier to use. 🤙🏻
Good tip!
She needs a friend!😊
Great job !
Thanks
Curtis, I can see raising the unit off the ground, but why do they attach a strap to the side of the house. The frame in a mobile home is not very structurally sound. If you are going to use the wire brush to clean coils, why not cut off the handle. It would be easier to get up into the coil.
That was Disgusting so Thanks for doing what you did Carefully to Clean it the Best you could. Hope they have you back out to Clean it properly. 👍
It was cleaned properly; needs to be done yearly! Save electricity too.
You talk about the compressor surging, what might cause that. Excellent video. Thank You...
Being overcharged
I think that lady is overcharged
A very good video with all the details - thank you sir.
Glad it was helpful!
With evaporator coils, I just brush and vacuum the dirty side, and blow it out using nitrogen or compressed air from the other.
I spray them down with that foam cleaner, usually works, but then again that's a bad one there.
Nice work Curtis. That evap coil was nasty.
Clean the evap to bring up SH, (assuming its piston), Overcharged with non condensables. Thanks for the video curtis
I aint telling you nothing you dont already know lol
You was good company for the lady and helped with her A/C great for a Saturday
A friends house has a similar problem. Or a compund of problems. Under sized return overall. Lack of returns, lack of size of the return. 20"x20" for a 3 ton. I think it needs a good bit of work. The previous owners blocked off one of the 4 returns even. Trying to get it to push up to the upstairs vaulted ceiling open office space.
Wow, I can't get a word in, lol. That thing was some dirty. You fixed that. I bet it cools like a new one now. Cleaning the evaporator will do it for sure. Nice job. My old unit is still limping along, try to get through another summer. The stop leak, knock on wood, worked. I was putting 3 to 4 lbs a year in it, and it has been over a year and I haven't had to add any. I know it's just a band - aid, but for now I'm still rocking. 19 year old Goodman 4 ton unit. I know I will have to embrace the inevitable.
That's impressive for a Goodman.
Lordy Lordy. She sho is friendly. Loved the video Curtis.
Thanks
Spray the evaporator with water use a bottle brush it rolls off in sheets, should have checked the evap after cleaning the condenser static pressure would have told you., Feildpeoce digital instruments looks like tech school equipped. 1/2 ton bigger coil is not a big deal your condenser fan might be slowing down your service information is incomplete like you know? , but what do I know! keep learning always more info.
Great video like always, my friend. Stay safe out there and keep up the great work appreciate all your content.🫡
Thanks
If i heard you correct, you said 2.5 ton condensor and a 3 ton evap coil. Even dirty you should get some super heat.
That lady was funny. 😂🤣
May need to drop you’re temp clamps in some ice water and test them for accuracy
yup indoor cool clogged. spray green cleaner on it and let self rinse
someone is getting lucky tonight.. she has an offer you can't refuse..
😂😂😂
maybe it has a oversized piston.
I love her accent. She seems like a sweet lady.
Thanks again
She’s a talker mama!
lack of filter maintenance with that dirty coil or it doesn't making a good enough seal.
she's a helicopter mamma
You should saw the handle off your wire brush. More convenient.
clean it and throw a TXV on it. swap out drier.
Curtis, Always a Great video! That lady... way too much talking! she gave me a headache! That evap. coil... I gave me a stomach ache! People must leave the windows open when the A/C is on. Never change the filter too. Thats going to cost them!
I no HVAC guy but have learned a lot from you one thing I don’t understand is what are normal readings when you hook up the Bluetooth devices to the system ? What is the correct range ? Does it depend on the Different brands ?
Depends on the type of refrigerant
Our 30+ year HVAC Contractor found a Crack in the Flue Pipe 3 years ago. We had the Furnace and Outdoor AC Replaced the Next Day. Carbon Monoxide Kills👍🙏
Love a friendly customer but man can she talk
She was alright though. She was fun to talk to I bet 😂
"She's a yapper, mama" --Steve Lav
A talkative lady!
She's right it is double dipp'n. She do like to talk lol
I wonder if that 3 ton evaporator coil had a piston/orifice/metering device for 2.5 tons.
She doesn't stop talking wttffff!!! :D
It looks like non condesibles for the head pressure fluctuating. Probably best to recover and start fresh.
how do you recover refrigerant?
Could the piston be to big? Great video
Lady Let the people work.. omg😅
“I can’t hear you”…is that to tell her I don’t want to hear you, am making a video?😎
Looks like somebody overcharged with wrong gas
Bye Felicia!
Curtis; Who did the ac maintenance in this house?
Client: that would be my nephew thomas!
Curtis; what year did his ac stop working?
Client; about 2 yea..howd you know that?
Woah Vicky
Lady is high as a kite
i wonder if several of the supply registers are closed off
You had a talker
Wow that lady just don't know when to quit. Stuff like that you gotta tell her to go check the tstat if it's on or somthing
Expansion valve is surging.
Prime example of someone either in a hurry or just not knowing what they are doing…you should ALWAYS check the condensing coil BEFORE adding any refrigerant
As well as the evaporator and the filter!
Maybe a horse grooming comb might work on that evaporator?
Did you charge her extra for the therapy session? That may be the reason the unit was in such disrepair. The last guy couldn't put up with the chattering so did a half ass job..
OMG That lady... She must be lonely to have sooo much to say lol. I'm a computer technician, and when I get a service call and the client won't stop talking.. Man I get trouble concentrating.
Hey, was wondering what model gopro you have and is that clip thing on your bag handle for the camera? If so what brand is it?
GoPro, and yes that’s a clamp mount
malfunctioning txv or piston?
The numbers are not visible we cannot see
im only 4 min in tell her to go away lol
