We lost power last week when it was 20. This video has motivated me to wire the furnace up to a outlet so I can plug it into the generator next time
This Chanel is a must for the average home owner, very thankful for the stuff you’ve shown for heat solutions from basic self repair to alt powering.
Two comments...
If you plug that jumper into two receptacles as is shown at the 3:00 point in the video and it's a split kitchen receptacle, you will definitely blow the breakers for those circuits.
I know a linesman who was very close to getting critically injured from someone back feeding their service. Please be aware of the risks of using these.
I would like to see more videos about installing mini split heat pumps, especially concealed duct indoor units.
Thanks for all the great and very informative videos.
I'm 77 and do all my HVAC minor repairs myself. Your vids help immensely.
Always looking for more ideas for emergency backups here in hurricane country.
Your channel has given me the confidence to investigate, diagnose and fix/prevent issues with these big mysterious hvac boxes. Thank you!
I’d love to see a DIY whole home humidifier install. 😃
I've been watching your vids for sometime. Your Tri fuel generator / Micro air soft start was the best ! Keep them coming my friend . Your InTouch with real information that is needed for real life needs in todays world.
I have learned so much from your channel and my son just bought a house and he had some problems with his furnace and we fixed it without having to call an hvac guy. I’m sure he saved a quite a bit of money especially right now when funds are limited for him. Thank you for all you share your knowledge is greatly appreciated!!!!
I found your channel last summer, and you have made it so easy for me, a 77 yr. old widow, to understand my furnace system. I look forward to each video. I need to save as much money as I can, so I especially like your diagnostic tips & repairs, and would like to see more.
Hi, I've been binge watching your videos for a while. I have a 37 year old Carrier furnace that still runs great! Learning to do things myself is very helpful. Working with electrical and gas has always made me nervous. Thank you for your honesty and expertise in all your videos.
I don't watch all the videos you post but you seem passionate about the things that matter. Keeping people safe and comfortable as well as offering DIY solutions and advice on how to deal with the pros. Thank you so much for all that you do. we need more channels like this.
Thanks for making this video, had a power outage two years ago and this video will be a big help.
Love the videos! As a current resident in California near the foothills we tend to lose power during the fire season and these videos help with alternatives to grid power. Lost power a week ago for 2 days due to a malfunction in the ground equipment and my wife finally said it’s time to look into alternatives and voila….. she’s hooked on your videos
I did that furnace hack so happy I did my power went out for five hours and it was 15 degrees out it got cold fast 💨 I like to see how you would hook up a power inverter permanently to your vehicle 🚗👍
This channel has been so educational and informative over the past year. I'd probably enjoy a tutorial on diy annual HVAC maintenance or how to easily make sure you don't overload your generator in an emergency. I know, it seems simple but very useful to those that didn't grow up learning anything in this category. Thanks again for the education you provide all of us.
Thanks for another great video. Very detailed and easy to understand. Can never have enough information on the importance of being prepared.
Love your content. I love when you come out with new videos. I don't consider myself a prepper but I like the idea of being prepared in emergency or survival situations. I really enjoyed how you showed how to change the furnace power to a plug so you can use external power if the power was out. I would like to see more content of items you recommend for home emergency situations.
Love your content and the variety you have. I find your videos to be very helpful and informative. Keep up the good work.
Love the content. Very basic must knows of being a homeowner. Your tutorials have saved people many of thousands of dollars I'm sure. Future content I would like to see is more about "prepping" for unforseen events. This is a crazy world we live in right now. Keep up the great content.
I love your work. I rewire my heater just like yours in case of emergency. Thanks for all the tips.
As a DIY guy seeing basic AC maintenance and repair videos always helps. Like drain cleaning and coil cleaning… trouble shooting videos are always good too!
As an older subscriber to your channel with limited electrical knowledge, I really appreciate videos like this one. You have give me the confidence to at the very least consider alternative power sources for heat in the case of emergencies such as winter storms. I used to have a 7500W gasoline generator-but that died and I bought a small Bluetti power station-would not mind seeing an episode about using an already installed (for gasoline generator) generator switch with 20W 4 prong plug (the switch has ABCDEF breakers-each with a 15amp fuse). Thanks again.
Thanks for the educational video! I have been watching your channel for some time now and learned a lot from you. Keep them coming!
I love how you explain each phase of your videos. So easy to understand! I would love to have you explain more about the differences between the many generators with and wattages.
Keep up the good work I love the basics and practical advice! Thanks
Great videos they are very informative. Helped me a lot. I Went to ( HVAC ) school here in Kentucky and I have my 608 universal certification and my apprenticeship license working on my journeyman. I have noticed you’re main focus is gas furnace videos, but what I would like to see is some package units heat pumps. I know in my area, there is a bigger demand for those type of units. Any help on those would be great and again thank you so much for these videos. I’m looking forward to what’s next. 👍🏻
Your channel has helped me so much! I really enjoy watching the HVAC installation videos. More of those would be great! 👍
Your channel has been very helpful for those of us who know little to nothing about HVAC systems. I really appreciate the in-depth explanations and good visuals. I would like to see more videos on how to avoid being scammed into unnecessary repairs.
Thanks for all the good information and how to’s. Love info on how to take care of things around the house. Keep up the good work.
I’m absolutely loving this channel after doing some winter maintenance. I have a Goodmans that lasted initially 2 years before the coils rusted (Chinese), the HVAC company that installed it, repaired under warranty but still charged me $1600! I decided after that to get multiple quotes and do as much as I can. This channel is a treasure.
As an owner of a gas furnace, I appreciate all of the great tips that you post on your videos. Naturally, I would like to see as much material as possible regarding the gas furnace but, also realizing that would be limiting yourself, I can only suggest that you continue to present material as you determine to be necessary. Thanks for all the help.
Love your channel.. Very helpful in explaining how to doing these projects the safe correct way.. You do an excellent job of explaining 👍I would love to see a video of your favorite tools and maybe compare why you pick one brand over another for the job..And or a list of your must have tools for these home projects.. Im new to the channel but I’m loving it so far..Keep up the good work my friend 👍👊
Love this channal! It is So Much Fun learning new ways to service and install new equipment! I am looking forward to you reviewing new brands of heat pump water heaters, and dryers, and your recommendations on these appliances. I did the heater battery bypass and am ready for power outages. Thanks for this amazing video!
HVAC troubleshooting and diagnostics are always helpful. Anything solar or alternate energy sources (with new product/install) videos are always appreciated. I catch things I didn't consider previously. Thanks.
In Tennessee bout to get hit with a winter storm. Gonna watch a few more of your vids to try and prepare as best as I can...you have alot of great vids. I would like to see more energy saving tips vids in the future!
Good stuff! I learned so much watching your videos, especially these types! Keep doing more videos like this.
Love your videos and really appreciate the information. I would like to see your suggestions for the best things to include in a new build that would be more cost effective than adding or altering later. Have a great new year!
Your videos are very informative and helpful for me when doing repairs at my house.
Good safe information. Any videos that homeowners can use to keep themselves safe during a power outage are great,
I just found your UA-cam channel and was so glad I did. I was just talking to my 4 sisters about getting some type of generator as a backup to use for heat and or electric. We are all 5 senior citizens now and our income is limited but this is something we will all look more into. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge it's very much appreciated. Me and my sisters, (me) Rebecca, Teresa, Carol, Helen and Sheila. We all thank you!
We would like to see more on how you can use the generator if possible.
Appreciate all your videos. I've already linked your video on converting a furnace to a plug to several friends, converted my furnace, and just did 2 friends as well because they didnt have power. Now they have heat! keep it up man! Bluetti or not, i'm subscribed!
Very good content! I have learned a lot to make simple repairs and updates to my hvac. Thanks for sharing your knowhow.
Your content on DIY HVAC maintenance, repairs, and installs are what I want to see more of.
you're really good at explaining things, so i appreciate your videos. keep them coming... maybe do a comparison video with the UV lights - to show that they really work and which one is best...
There is so much good information on this site. It is a go to whenever I need info or have a question.
The things you show us are awesome. I'm getting ready to put an outlet on my furnace in just a few days . Thank you, and thank you for the respect you have for others.
Your channel was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so glad it was you have saved me so much time and money i couldn't thank you enough.
Excellent tutorials and info. Not much else left to improve except more videos.
This is the kind of 'practical' video we can all benefit from - THANKS
Great video, the mini split installation is what I enjoy
I’d been waiting for a video today, on a Sunday, but didn’t realize it was from Saturday’s video… As always, our home greatly appreciates all your hard work and dedication! Great job, keep it up!
Sorry about that. You are entered for the giveaway! Cheers
Did the winner get picked? I was going to buy one, or one of the Eco Flows, but wanted to wait and see if I’d won (our house is very frugal). Lol
Love all your videos! Being a "fix it" guy, watching your videos first gives a good heads up as to what to expect. Murphy!s Law has snagged me more than once over the years. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for all the useful info you provide on your channel!
Thank you for this information. It’s a life saver.
There is a missing link to your option #2 setup that would make for a great video (and something that I haven’t seen on UA-cam)! Using an outdoor outlet on the exterior of the house, wired to an indoor inlet inside the house, you could keep the Bluetti power station indoors, use an extension cord to plug it into the indoor inlet, and then use the 50amp to 15amp adaptor plug to connect the 50amp inlet to the outdoor 15amp outlet. This allows folks in very cold areas with indoor electrical panels to have a standby system that just requires them to flip the interlock breaker, and will allow them to run critical circuits off of the Bluetti while they get the portable generator hooked up. Certain power stations that utilize swappable batteries would be able to be hot-swapped from the comfort of indoors. Also, you would be able to have lights, furnace, sump pump, and garage door opener available to get your larger portable generator out of the garage and in action. The alternative to this setup would be opening a door or window to run the extension cord from indoors to outdoors, however this is not ideal in an extreme temperature or hurricane scenario, and can be dangerous if the window is left open once the portable generator is turned on (due to exhaust entering the house through the window). The above method should be code compliant, whereas an adaptor made for RV shore power being passed through the wall of a house would not be code compliant (no extension cords through walls). Please make this video!
Thanks for the easy to understand and helpful content.
Thanks for sharing this information! Keep up the good work!
I just found your channel, and subscribed.✌️. I'm looking at doing your option three on my furnace. Seems like a great idea since it's been minus 50 here in Alberta, Canada. Thanks for teaching us all the valuable information. Cheers!.
Very informative videos you have there. I’m sure is helping lots of people. Thank you
I love all your tips and tricks, more Step by Step guides on maintenance would be a wonderful thing! Thank you for your great educational videos!
I found this channel while trying to troubleshoot my furnace. Thanks for all the great info.
Very helpful,Thanks for sharing that knowledge!
Had a neighbor trying to wire his home with battery backed inverter without a isolated power panel switch.😮 Sent him to your website and now we all are happy as everything is correct and running fine. You have a new subscriber!
I recently followed your advice to get my furnace running from an appliance cord and was able to use a car battery and an inverter to keep my furnace running during a 24-hour power outage! It was such a relief! It would be great to see more videos about preparing your home/HVAC equipment to use something like the bluetti power station to keep the heat (and other utilities!) running! Thanks for the great content!
Love the channel and all the detailed and informative content. Would like to see some more off grid stuff and mini split. Keep up all the great work!
Nice video. Love the different options for generator connections. Learn a lot from your other videos. Tried the stay bright 8 solder on a DYI install based on one of your videos and it worked great. Would like to see more on basic troubleshooting for DYI HVAC systems. Thanks
I'd like to see a video regarding making everything after the furnace more efficient. Meaning things like: how to set vents for seasons, insulating duct work, how to flow more air to specific parts of the house, etc.
I bought a DC to ac inverter this year to have a backup option to power my furnace. Thanks for all the tips over the years.
Thanks for the important information, it would be great to see more videos on battery backup systems. Have a great day!
I have been doing electrical/mechanical work for years in a chemical plant environment. But I have to say I have learned so many things from watching your channel. Thanks for all your efforts and educational videos.
I love your channel. I would like to see more troubleshooting videos like the "match" test to check for a broken heat exchanger. Very helpful. I feel like I can fix anything if I get a proper diagnosis. Having more videos to help troubleshoot would give me even more confidence to DIY.
Great video! Always good to stay prepared! In a future video I’d love to hear more about testing control boards and thermostats. How can I know if it’s an error on the thermostat or the control?
I’m a new homeowner and I did the pigtail method on one of your videos. Now I’m on to step two the generator!
You’ve done it again, another great video! This is valuable info especially with these cold fronts rolling through. You wanted to know what content we may want to see. Is it worth while increasing your fresh air intake on your ac / heat closet ? I have a 12 x 24 x 1 filter I use. Would it benefit me increasing the opening? If so, how is the best way to accomplish this ? Thanks and have a good day.
Your videos have taught me a lot, even about things I didn't know I wanted to learn about! I'd like to possibly see some tips and tricks on balancing the A/C vents throughout the house to get the best cooling where it's needed most. Thanks!
I just started watching your videos, they are very well explained and in a very simple way that we can all understand! Thanks so much for that! A future video showing how to replace a residential thermostat with electric heat, a heat pump, and A/C. I am struggling to not only get the proper thermostat, but then how to correctly wire it, thanks!
Thank you as always for the informative content.
I’m 79 years old and still learning much from your instructive videos. Thank you. My Rheem heat and air unit is outside and uses propane. A video on how to install a generator connection on an outdoor unit would be helpful. Mainly how to protect the connection from the weather.
@@denverbraughler3948 the AC needs 220 but I’m not to concerned about powering the AC, just the heater. The heater and blower motor are 120 V.
@@denverbraughler3948 presently I have a gas powered generator with only 120 volt outlets.
Thank you for all the great and life saving videos. We have learned to be self sufficient and do not rely on costly contractors. We would like to see more on energy-efficient ideas.
Thank you for your videos! Thanks to the information you have provided, I had a power inlet box installed on my house so that, using our portable generator, my family won't have to worry about keeping warm if we lose grid power.
Could you consider doing more videos about heat pumps? I have an ac unit that is running well right now, bit I'm interested in learning more about conventional ac vs heat pumps for when the time comes to consider replacement. Thanks!
As a single 60 year old female living by myself .I would love to continue to see more do it yourself videos on maintenance around the house . On a low income, these videos are tremendously helpful for me to save money.
I live in a mobile home, and your videos on this homes furnace are a blessing.
I now do all the maintenance by following your videos .
Thank God Bless
Thanks for all the good info. We shouldn't grab the phone on every little hiccup to call a repair man. These tips are great. Never know what the next home repair might be. The next video will always have that little bit of information that someone needs.
Great channel and content. Suggest more on off grid/self-reliance (power and heating options). Another suggestion: more information and product review on home heat pumps. Keep up the great work!
Great channel. Here’s a few ideas as a homeowner who just needs to be pointed in the right direction sometimes;
- managing & troubleshooting humidity control
- diagnosis of sounds ac, furnaces and ducts make that can be worrisome
- how to check sections without removing ceiling
- maintenace of exhaust ports, dirt, icicles
- products that could use your same approach such as tanless water heater, pool water heater
So glad I found your channel! Literally just got done with the outlet/power cord installation on my furnace. Hoping I don't have to use it in the next couple of days but glad I can hook it up to my vehicle if needed.
Not sure how much experience you have with it, but I would love to know your opinion on "radiant barrier" attic foil insulation, and maybe see a compare/contrast video of different options.
Great job he did a good job of explaining everything I could really use a solar generator out in the country with the woodburning stove. Thank you again.
Keep up the great content! Perfect for basic diy installs, will wire my furnace up to a plug here soon!
Your channel is the best, I have learned so much from it. I have an oil furnace and wish you could do a video on filter replacement with air bleeding and other general tune up items.
Thank you, your videos have helped me with issues on both my air conditioning and my gas furnace, I am considering how to supply enough backup power to keep my gas furnace and refrigerator running for days with a solar add on.
Thanks for all that you post. As a "newbe," I have found tremendous value in your content. I have used your knowledge to troubleshoot my gas furnace issue. I have also decided to make the changes to my furnace so I can heat Mt house in the event of a power outage. Similar content that equip home owners not to be intimated by simple repairs would be great content. Thanks again.
All your videos are great, I’ve learned a lot on how to maintain my heat and AC systems. Please do more install videos.
Your videos on safely keeping the heat on during blackouts are great and could be lifesavers in more ways than one. I’d love to also see maintenance tips for oil boiler heating systems.
I’ve gotten some useful tips from your videos. Had a power outage a few weeks ago and because I watched your videos on how to hook up the furnace to a generator, my house was kept warm. I also picked up a power station as another source of electricity. How about a video on power station safety such as what to do in case of an emergency, storage, over charging and such. Thanks for all you do!
I like all your tips for DIYers. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Each video is an education that we should have learned in our youth, long before we were home owners. I'd like to see more ideas on how to insulate your home to improve the efficiency and lower overall bills. Also, enjoy seeing more videos on identifying the correct projects of outside AC fan units. Thank you Dave.
Let me know if you need any volunteers with HVACs that you can make videos off of in the SLC area. I have two. :)
Thank you for providing helpful information. Would like to see more troubleshooting videos and if you have a certain thought process or flowchart when it comes to repairing things
Very helpful video , especially with hurricane season here thanks
I really like your videos. They are simple and easy to understand for a DIYer. I would love if you could keep talking about what to do if we loose power. The use of the solar generator was great. I use Bluetti products as well. Please add any videos that what help people if the power goes out. Maybe something for an electric A/C unit 4-5 Ton. Thanks.
You make great videos and I have learned a lot more on doing simple repairs. Thanks
Thank you for another great video explanation of using the Bluetti Power Station to keep the gas furnace running during a power outage.
This channel is great! Have bought some of the tools you recommend. Have also swapped out a condenser unit using knowledge gained here. I wonder if you have serviced oil fired heating units as well. If so, would like to see how you service them and how you adjust the air shutter to make it most efficient.
