Out standing comment at the end "its not mine, its the customers. And his money". All you can do is tell him. If he doesn't want to fix it right. Then all you can do is get him running. Good job man.
Run into that alot doing retrofit jobs in HVAC controls. Put controls on equipment that's just limping along and notify the customer of issues and potential issues. Alot of times they just ignore it. But hey it's not our decision to make , we just make sure we fullfil our contract obligation.
Problem with that is that when it stops working again in a few months they tell everyone you did a bad job. Might be best to show how you are actually saving money in the long run, give them an actual financial breakdown.
Perfect summary Steve: It’s not your house or your money! You do what is asked of you plain and simple…all you can do is tell them what they need, and then it’s up to them to make a decision right or wrong…
Hey Steve your in business close to 30 yrs probably a multi millionaire , your fully licensed and insured , your hourly rate is VERY competitive, your phone rings off the hook, yet some will still criticize you lol Dont worry most old school real jobber/grunts that live in the real world respect you
Plus, he cares about animals - he’ll help a turtle make it across the road and wait for a gaggle of Canada Geese to cross too. And, Susie, Baby Dog and now Miss Molly. Good ❤️
Steve, your an “old school” mechanic with a great work ethic. You treat your customer base fairly and deliver positive results on every job. Your affection for Miss Molly is always the highlight of your videos. It’s amazing how she waits for your return to the work truck.
The keyboard warriors trying to spend everyone else's money. Their own systems are probably shit, but they are all "You know what I would do". YOU Sir, are one hell of a PROFESSIONAL TRADESMAN. You care about your customers and do what ever you can to get your customers cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Keep up the good fight Mr. Lav. Steve Lav is working again Y'all!
My favorite videos to watch, Steve speaking his mind and doing the right thing. Do what the customer asks you to do and get them running. Then maybe explain what should be done, or just let it go. Sometimes people buy a house and they have no idea what they are getting into. Other people just don't care or they are cheap. Thank you Steve for another great video!
That's the same guy that has the old boilers that Steve keeps saying need to be replaced and an oil tank that's ready to go. Like Steve says, tighter than two coats of paint.
I am super impressed with the variety of parts in your service truck. I was doing service in the Cape Cod/Plymouth area and we were lucky if we had a fuse with us let alone a capacitor or relay. I imagine you keep it stocked well because you hate chasing parts as much as I did. Part of my job was to "invoice" the customer and after multiple times of chasing parts with a helper in the truck and charging time and travel, I told my boss that I was no longer handing 80 year old customers 800$ invoices for 75$ in parts and 20 minutes of labor when we should have the parts on hand. I was once sent to replace a gas valve on a 5 yo HW tank when all it was was a plugged burner orifice that the OTHER tech did not see, it could have been fixed in 15 minutes. IMO that was OUR fault and we had no business doing service, for those reasons I refused to write up any invoices again...
@@adamedwards2435 Windshield time not free. IMO not having a disciplined parts list and system for constant replenishment sends me to next employer. It is miserable to drive a van in traffic.
My friend is a framer, we ripped apart my garage he said "wow none of this is framed right but it was built in 1950 shit has been here longer than anything I built"
Steve screw the ones saying you should have done this or that. It is blantly obvious they are NOT in the service busniess, they are homeowners that watch videos like yours and shoot out comments like they have been in the busniess for 100 years, only thing they prove is their total lack of knowledge they actually possess. You are a straight up honest guy, oh could I tell you stories on what I have experienced over the past 25 years as a hvac/refrigeration tech in the marine industry (a one man show like you). I would have done the same thing you did, at the end of the day we repair to the best of our ability the units we are faced with and would only decommission if a dangerous situation could arise. WE DONT DO THIS AS CHARITY, NOT GOING TO BANKROLL OTHERS, WE DO THIS TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES!!
I would like to add that I wish I could be one of your customers haha. You are honest, you troubleshoot so well. You’re funny, tell it like it is and you help where you can and that’s what customers want. I bet most people would love that man. Take care
Yesterday, I decided to clean my 3 ton TRANE condenser since it was long overdue. I did notice the discharge air temperature was higher than normal and the HP was a bit high. Following a complete coil wash with NuBrite and a visual inspection of the control section I reassembled the cabinet and let it dry for an hour or so. It started up and ran perfectly. Thanks for all of your “tech tips”.
I love your videos and comments. I used to be in service back in the day for TV house-calls. Dealing with the public was just as fun in the late 70's, 80's...
F’in Einstein ha ha ha ha ha! Nice work Steve. It runs, customer is happy and has cooling. On to the next one, don’t look back and ignore all the armchair Einsteins 😆
howdy steve! Love your videos, Ive learned so much for you. Around the 7 min mark you kept telling the guy the motor was cooking. Perhaps next time tell him voltage was running though the motor and without the fan running the motor over heats. sometimes you have to spell it out for folks who know nothing about how things work/
Mismatched evaporator and blower (furnace) and condenser ... customer ain't gettin no where with that, but no one can stop him from trying. Good job Steven!
Hey Steve, love the videos and love your attitude towards your customers. I always see you driving a truck but would love to see a video on your truck (does it have A/C?) and how you have it set up. Do you repair and do maintenance on the truck yourself? Also do you advertise your services? If so, how? GREAT VIDEOS!
What’s so crazy is these people that get these hack jobs call you to fix there mess! Then he was complaining how it’s still not cooling. Well what do you expect? A two in half ton condenser hook up to a 4 ton air handler. It ain’t going work like that. So like you said Steve you do the best you can and keep it moving! Great work as always Steve!
You would think if your ready to retire you would buy all new equipment so you dont have to buy it when you retire. Guy probably puts his pants on before his underwear too.
Hes probably planing on selling the house before there is another issue. Buyers typical just want to know that the a/c cools the house, not knowing if it will break after an night of use.
A lot of contractors piece together systems. They use what they have in their warehouse. I have a system like that in my house. It has a piston and should have a txv. Once I fixed all the leaks and recovered and replaced the R-22 it actually cools well. I will eventually install a nice 3 ton R-410a system, but I will keep my Bryant 90 Plus furnace. I just rebuilt it and beefed up the control board with better relays. I'm an electronics technician/service technician. I wouldn't suggest doing all this if you can't fix it yourself.
I love this one! SO RIGHT, Steve! "If it were me..." "Well, it's not you!" "This isn't right..." "NO SHIT IT'S NOT RIGHT, F----ing Einstein." That was a great commentary, Steve. 100 percent.
It’ll cool. Let her eat. I wish I could talk to customers like that. I get in trouble for cursing in attics on installs/duct work. Or inside drop ceilings. My favorite.
You can tell the difference between guys who do service for a living, and a arm chair “technician”. You can only make your recommendations, present the evidence to back up your quote and leave it up to the customer to decide. Period. It’s not your money till they sign on the dotted line and pay the deposit. Even then your not entitled to full payment, till the job is complete and the customer is satisfied. Just try making a living demanding every customer do everything you think ought to be done. You’ll soon find your starving to death from lack of income. I’ll get off my soapbox now. Good video’s Steve. Keep up the good work brother. There’s not as many of us out here as there used to be.
I'm in Vegas, we have tons of hack jobs. Companies pop up out of nowhere and shut down as soon as summer ends. People argue with me that I should honor someone else's warranty because that company either disappeared or refuse to come out.

@@petersmart1999 Absolutely unbelievable. Paying for heating and cooling at the same time, and never noticing. And no one was the wiser until you figured it out.
I specialize in the Jimmy Rig hack-job. There's a phonebook full of people to call if you just want something replaced for top dollar, very few people left now that can get something going "good enough" to keep the person going down the road. Not everyone is rich. I see it on the car mechanic side a lot, people with $2k cars for back and forth to work, get a leaky fuel line or a hole in the exhaust and the body shops only want to replace the ENTIRE exhaust or the entire fuel line instead of a patch. Can't even get someone to patch a tire on the clock anymore.
Hey Steve I agree with your comment it's not your equipment. Sometimes the correct answer in service is just make it run. You couldn't piece meal that system back to correct. Even if you installed the correct coil and air handler you would probably cause the compressor in the condenser to blow. When something is 10 years old like that just dont mess around with anything like the charge or airflow.
Steve, so you are saying you can put in a piston for a 2.5 ton unit upstairs and then the 4.5 ton evap will work more OK or more effectively than now? You rock. I wonder what his best intake and out register temp diff was? Think he is getting 18 degrees to 22 degrees difference with his current setup? I am getting about 18 degrees best at my house in California with a little 2.5 ton. I am trying to learn about A/C systems and you are one good teacher. Thank you.
Hey Steve, your videos are outstanding both in quality and content. Just curious to know what brand video camera you’re currently using and what’s it’s memory capacity in GB?
Whoever did the job must had a reason to downsize to 2.5 ton. Perhaps more dehumidification purpose than cooling... because cooling is not the main focus in your area where it's relatively cool temperature. If so, then probably same a lot on electric bill. Oversized or not and also depends if home air leakage is improved. Price of 4 ton and 2.5 ton is not a whole lot of difference... like a couple hundred dollars difference wholesale. Installation is same no matter what size condenser but customer cost is bigger of course. Guardian is York/JCI product.
I liked qnd subscribed just because you said it's not my money I don't get to make the decisions and you had to do the best you could to make it work how it was. I know that's not easy and it just adds to your character to be that way. Wish I had you working on my moms unit a few years ago when they told her they couldn't get parts for it anynore.
