gas furnace will not heat house merch = teespring.com/... lavimoniere productions llc subscribe to my channel / @stevenlavimoniere web site lavimoniereplum...
That is what I call a Helicopter customer. Also hovering over. It's great that a customer wants to watch but be quiet for a few minutes. Great job Steve. Didn't lose your temper
That woman has to be Portuguese as she sounds just like my mother in law, never stops talking no matter the topic and always knows something about it( so she thinks!)
I have literally struggled for years taking apart furnace control boards with needle nose pliers to pop the pins but you sir do it with the blue pin you are my hero!!
Steve, there are guys I work with driving tractor trailers that are beyond old. I firmly believe that they don’t retire for this very reason.....their wives. Nice job Steve.
Great one !!! You did a great job dealing with that costumer. Love the phone calls. You could work 24/7 what a great business you have built up. Thanks Steve
Our house is really cold too but were all the way in Detroit MI but we'll look at and see what we can do ourselves. thank you so your videos are very helpful
Just be really, really careful (like call a professional heating tech) when dealing with gas devices and exhaust gasses. I have a bad heat exchanger and I jumped out a roll-out switch, ran the furnace for a few hours and 2 of my carbon monoxide alarms went off at 3:30 am. Daughter called the fire dept and the lead officer/volunteer made me promise I wouldn't turn the furnace back on until I get it fixed. 13 year old exchanger under warranty, $1,500 estimate for labor. Getting quotes now for a new furnace. Bummer how much everything has gone up recently. Hang in there.
I’ve changed over a thousand control boards as a tech and never not one single time have I left the bad board behind. Good service is picking up your trash and bad parts and leave the place cleaner than it was before you got there.
I had that problem before, ended up being the circuit board , wasn’t sensing the flame current back to the board. My flame signal was at specs. Tricky one . Great video .
At the 3:26 mark, it appears that they roll out switch that was hanging loose goes in the hole right in the middle in front of the blower assembly on the panel that separates the blower/burner compartment.
Corrosive atmosphere in the basement might be causing the air inlet screen and burner directly below to rust, also hard on the flame sensor. The switch hanging in the blower compartment is an auxiliary limit control used for downflow applications and is usually installed into the blower housing somewhere. Shouldn’t be an issue in this case. I always took a reading of the DC microamps just to be sure the flame signal was strong enough to meet the manufacturers spec.
Me and my husband a first time homeowner and you help us save a lot money fixing things on our on Thank you so much your good people my favorite saying of your is : Why would you wear gloves, Why would you wear gloves..... I love it
Damn lady will you be quiet for a minute and stop asking questions??....I like the patience this man has with his customers. He finally told her to calm down and put her in her place at 12:35....good job!
Wow, my brain hurts. She doesn't STOP... The last guy ran away and got his eardrums removed. We deserve a medal for managing to watch this. 😂 She was hard work. Well done Steve.
Heck! I don't care if the lady talks me to death as her money is green!! Remember guys why you would be there. Make her think your the best service guy in the world then charge her for the service and conversation. It's all about the money!! Ain't it???
Steve I had to try to recoup after watching that video it has been 10 minutes but I still hear that woman's voice in my head. Now I have to go drink some beer so I can get that voice out of my head . Talk about a headache .peace
The company I worked for was a subcontractor for local utility company appliances repair program. On those calls we always had to bring old parts back to the shop tagged with invoice number and approval number for replacement from utility program.
Steve....I think you should hire this lady as your helper!!!! She could talk and fill in between your verbal comments. "Let's take one step at a time Momma"!!!! She's a talker momma!!!! Very entertaining Steve. Like I said...hire this lady as your helper and you will have 2 million subs by the end of this year!!! "I'm already tired and I ain't doin' anyting"
you know steve plumbing is a great trade its just those damm customers that won't shut up great channel all the best from down under Tasmania Australia
A lot of wall hung boilers will not run on standard portable generators,sine wave of electricity isn’t clean enough!.You get a commendation for dealing with that talker,she could melt your ears!
Husband probably gives her no attention so she seeks it from you. You’re a good guy Steve
She doesn’t need heat, just her talking would heat the house
LOL THAT'S FOR SURE
Lonely. lol.
My god what a motor mouth
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
When they talk like that, I tell them to go upstairs and stare at the thermostat and watch it till it blinks. lol
lol
LOL
Lol
She sounds like my mother-in-law.
nice tip
That is what I call a Helicopter customer. Also hovering over.
It's great that a customer wants to watch but be quiet for a few minutes. Great job Steve. Didn't lose your temper
She wanted to hold it for you, I don't think she was talking about the flashlight Steve lol. Good Job
She is the reason that you should always have a role of duct tape in your tool box
That woman has to be Portuguese as she sounds just like my mother in law, never stops talking no matter the topic and always knows something about it( so she thinks!)
She is the reason Advil is made.
J.P. Fox
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ever see the movie "Arsenic and old lace"?..... Her voice makes me want to drink the da%& TEA!
More than advil. Pro zack for her, whiskey for me.
@@Tedybear315 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA
I knew it was coming..."let me do my job"...LOL. Man! Like Randy said...She's a talker Momma! LOL. Great job Steve!
I liked how when the inducer blower was running, you almost couldn't hear her....
Veto needs to make a tool bag with a special pocket to keep a bottle of bourbon in for customers like that!!! Her mouth is a leaker!!!
She is a talker but I think she enjoyed talking with Steve. I like her and she is on top of everything.
I have literally struggled for years taking apart furnace control boards with needle nose pliers to pop the pins but you sir do it with the blue pin you are my hero!!
You are a hero. Fixed it and stay calm while repairing it.
I could not deal with that woman cackling in my ear while I was trying to work wow!
GrifFungin OMG you are correct. Give her peanut butter.😇
Doesn’t bother me, I can shut them out.
Steve, there are guys I work with driving tractor trailers that are beyond old. I firmly believe that they don’t retire for this very reason.....their wives. Nice job Steve.
Don't you just love it when the customer bird dogs ya!! 😂 Next Level!!!
Someone close that lady's high limit switch! Her Blower Mouth keeps running 😂
The same applies to me LOL
A simple micro amp test could have made this much easier. I dont know how you tolerated that gabby lady.
The composure and patient this man displayed deserves an award wow.
Would someone put this old Bird out her misery
She's a talker momma
Great one !!! You did a great job dealing with that costumer. Love the phone calls. You could work 24/7 what a great business you have built up. Thanks Steve
Bad flapper on the OLLLLLD PORTUGUESE STANDARD YALL!
Great video Steve
Been watching you for 4 yrs and always enjoy your videos
If you want a million views take that lady out on a date and watch a scary movie. the banter between you too would be comedy gold.
You deserve combat pay on this one...
When a customer starts talking to me I'll stop working until they stop talking, if they want to talk I'll talk.
HAHAHAHAH!
Geez, if I had to listen to her the whole time, I'd double my rate!!
Steve, unbelievable what a motor mouth. You sure earned your money on that one. You do a good job on handling someone like that.
Maybe he thought you were hot Mam. You crack me up Steve that was funny stuff!
I could listen to you talk to customers all day long!!
At least she somewhat knows what she’s talking about by the sounds of it. Lol. What a talker.
So sorry to hear about the lack of birds in her area😂
Yeah , word has it they were rare birds who understood Portuguese...
Here's the thing. using a generator does fry circuit boards. You should have a surge protector tied into your furnace, better safe than sorry!
Oh those loveable "Five Star Helicopter Customers"! God Bless You Steve! :)
So great that you had a babysitter there with you the whole time.....great job with the furnace and the lady.
Steve you are a much nicer guy than I am. I would have told her to please go upstairs after 5 mins of that. Pure pain
Goodman rides again, you sir have a lot of patience.
That woman could talk the legs off of a table! That can test your patience...
Very Professional service call, Steve. Great job working through the problem.
Labor price just went up with her help $$$
Our house is really cold too but were all the way in Detroit MI but we'll look at and see what we can do ourselves. thank you so your videos are very helpful

She's a yapper but at least she's a nice lady.
This is how some customers are annoying as hell! It is exhausting! Not the work the people! Good job as always Steve! The ol Gundy!
I’ve changed over a thousand control boards as a tech and never not one single time have I left the bad board behind. Good service is picking up your trash and bad parts and leave the place cleaner than it was before you got there.
Same here. I always take the old stuff with me and throw it away at the shop.
Maybe it’s a regional thing? The old parts are useless👍🏾
This homeowner isn't dumb. She's trying to figure it out.
I think the ol lady wanted the gundy...
Luis Perez L😀L
Haha... Nice
Lmao. Your comment had me laughing hard.
Those mature Portuguese women can be really foxy.
Steve ..."LET HER HOLD IT"......it may Shut her the hell up...She wants to help you...lol...
I had that problem before, ended up being the circuit board , wasn’t sensing the flame current back to the board. My flame signal was at specs. Tricky one . Great video .
Thought you meant the yakking woman problem hahah
I like that pen trick for removing the main board. Thanks Steve. She's a talker Momma.
I tell em, "Labor is $70 an hour, $75 if you watch, $100 if you help.
" Get the Hell back lady and let me do my job". I love NW USA brogan. Steve must have the patience of God!
I wonder if this lady will engineer some fault next week to get Steve round again? :)
That’s not an easy fix, but you worked your magic as always. I need some Advil just listening to her through your video.
she is lonely... nice one Steve on women's day :)
After about 10 minutes I fully understand why the first guy was done so fast.
Man! That lady would drive me nuts!! The anti do it yourself HVAC CZcams guy calls em helicopters

I think a lot of your customers are lonely. :)
Just friendly... a good thing
She is a talker … Wow she wants you to be her serviceman Steve 🤣🤣👊🏼
Man you're patient. She's all yakkity sax while you're trying to work.
Steve she sure likes to talk
Heck! I don't care if the lady talks me to death as her money is green!! Remember guys why you would be there. Make her think your the best service guy in the world then charge her for the service and conversation. It's all about the money!! Ain't it???
Steve is like. No I'm not answering your calls anymore. Lol
I had a newly installed Rheem that was doing that. Line and neutral were flipped on the board, fixed that and it worked like a champ.
Nice diagnose. WOW! Keep talking lady the price keeps going up.
"Im so used to the little one" Haha 16:41
Steve , your a saint
Great vídeo Steve..!!! Thanks 🙏 for sharing.
I love listening to y'all's accent!
ROFL
OMG she's a talker gezzes
another job well done. thanks for all the great videos
Steve I had to try to recoup after watching that video it has been 10 minutes but I still hear that woman's voice in my head. Now I have to go drink some beer so I can get that voice out of my head . Talk about a headache .peace
The company I worked for was a subcontractor for local utility company appliances repair program. On those calls we always had to bring old parts back to the shop tagged with invoice number and approval number for replacement from utility program.
I had the same problem , with a power surge, now I plugged my furnace onto a extension with a breaker on it , no problems.
This lady would drive me crazy. Takes so much longer to work when people never shut up
Ha new one one for t shirt . She's a talker momma !!!
You folks in Boston crack me up!!! Gotta love Goodie to fail
Patience of Jove....commendable.
Steve....I think you should hire this lady as your helper!!!! She could talk and fill in between your verbal comments. "Let's take one step at a time Momma"!!!! She's a talker momma!!!! Very entertaining Steve. Like I said...hire this lady as your helper and you will have 2 million subs by the end of this year!!! "I'm already tired and I ain't doin' anyting"
She shoulda checked you for polyps while she was up there, Steven. Lol.
You should have asked her to make you a chourico grinder just for listening!
Steven, your hourly rate should be x, but it should be x+10 if they want to “Hover”!
you know steve plumbing is a great trade its just those damm customers that won't shut up great channel all the best from down under Tasmania Australia
I would do a flame rectification test before and after the cleaning of the flamesenor. If u get more then 2dcma it should be good
Most people are unable to properly diagnose and test. Guessing is their only option.
@@onemorething100 gets him more money in the end haha. Charging by the hour to try this and that.
Also clean it with a small set of grips as i find emiry cloth just doesn’t get rid of the fur.
She's a talker Momma! No drip leg on gas pipe momma.
A lot of wall hung boilers will not run on standard portable generators,sine wave of electricity isn’t clean enough!.You get a commendation for dealing with that talker,she could melt your ears!
She's choochin more than the furnace!
WOW Steve, you found a new apprentice. LOL
You should have measured the ohms on the probe, and checked the ohms on the cable to the pcb. You can also clean the flame probe.
If you get a ladies heater going like this .. maybe you'll get good word of Mouth advertising..
Next level brother! Keep em coming!
I’m surprised it will even run with that screen on the exhaust. The newer furnaces are getting more and more sensitive to restrictions like that.
Looks like you were driving around Fall River
I haven't finished the video yet but my mother's Goodman furnace did the same thing. Turned out the gasket around the inducer motor was gone
