This is why I always try to salvage parts off of changeouts and any parts I feel can be used on another system. For how long it can take to get a part in, having a backup until the actual part comes in can really help a customer with the stress of no heat. Especially if there’s kids in the house or elderly. My co workers say it’s not a good idea to reuse parts and always try to get oem but to be able to get them temporary heat until you can actually fix it is a huge relief
Sometimes you have got to go that extra mile, excellent service is rewarded with extra work. I find your work ethic and ability quite remarkable. Salutations from the UK.
Good job Ted, ethically handled and made sure it was safe before anything else. Went the extra mile on this one going through as many tests you had to just to make sir they have heat; but safely and ethically. Darn RPMs of the old one holding you up haha!
Interestingly enough, Ted professes himself as an hvac pro, which is very far from the truth. He's a philosopher, a song from an Era long gone, an ASMR wonder and an island of peace and normalcy in these crazy times. Stay awesome Ted
There are a lot of technicians that would've thrown up their hands and said its to dilapidated even for a temporary repair its good to see there are still a few good technicians who will do what needs to be done to help keep people worm.
A question to all, I replaced the control board and the 2 roll out switches and the main thermal switch on my 20 year old furnace "International Comfort" 80% but now the fans start and stop for about a second even when the thermostat is off, did I cross a wire somewhere?
So, there are actually two variants of those transitions that Trane used for those furnaces, both of which should be available from your Trane or American standard supply house. I personally stock about two of each on my truck, might be worth stocking on your truck in case you ever run into a broken one again. Probably going to be more common as these systems get older in age.
I am going to replace the unit, but I saw no reason to leave the people freezing cold for several days until I can get to it. The homeowner asked me to determine the age of the unit…. Then it was decided by him to have us install a new one.
@@TedCookHVACEveryone is different. If that were my heater, I'd keep using it because it seems to be in very clean condition etc. Those inducer blowers need to be made with higher quality motors/bearings...often they fail much too soon.

You have one of the few decent HVAC channels left.
Thanks RJ !! You are one of the few who makes intelligent suggestions and comments.
You're a good person to worry over that old unit so the people can have heat. We need more like you!
that old unit will probably last another 10 years, while the replacement might make it 5 years without issues or leaks

You are a positive force for the HVAC industry Ted.
Solid commitment to the customer Ted, great detective work! Looking forward to seeing the new install.

MacGyver would be proud of you giving the client heat. Thxs for the vids!

Why a new furnace? you got it repaired :)

Nice Job Ted! It’s always best to keep a adjustable pressure switch!
Good job Ted your the best!!!
That’s the difference between a tech and a mechanic/tech 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Going 110% for the customer guarantees getting the change out in the end! 💰💰💰
Thanks for the tutioral. I learn more every video. Good Job
I'd like to know where can you find this gentleman, we need more guys like him
Nice job. Those customers are lucky to have found you
Even though you may not like the adjustable pressure switches it looks like it would be a good idea to have one on your truck.
That’s a good catch! I would have been looking at a blockage in the flue pipe. Lol
Ted and Steve Lav don’t do it for the money. It’s passion
We had a dead bird in one of our induced draft motors. The motor was fine once the bird was removed
Wow Ted I wish everyone repaired things with your mindset
Thanks for putting a bandaid on that unit so they can have some heat until the replacement is installed. Good customer service.
Good job ... Got them heat & you got the replacement ... thx
That was a great fix
A interesting temporary repair Ted, i always look foward to that squeeky van door on arriving at your next job 👍 Au

Tenacious Ted! 👍
Your right about other service men you have gone beyond that most have done
Have you ever considered an LED headlamp & and a small magnetic tool.tray. I've lost a lot of hex screws working on my home unit as has my ac friend.
Well, at least that jungle didn't have a casket in it; do you all remember that one?
A question to all, I replaced the control board and the 2 roll out switches and the main thermal switch on my 20 year old furnace "International Comfort" 80% but now the fans start and stop for about a second even when the thermostat is off, did I cross a wire somewhere?
Why didn't you have a jimmy wiggler in your pocket to jump the circuit?😄
Why not put the original inducer motor back on? Puting that NOS mounting piece on may have fixed everything.
Did you check vent pipe for obstruction

Way too stay with it 😊
Do something temporarily until you get new unit. Nothing wrong with that good job Ted
Hello , Mr.Ted ,could you tell us the inducer how much cost for part,if don’t mind
That furnace looks like a 2002 year model looking at the serial number.
The flsmes rolled out so i knee the inducer was weak
Great job. Just like me I try to help out customers when I can also. A learning curve.
Awesome job
You're wayyyy better than Mr. Replace the unit Mikey pipes

This shouldn't take but a few minutes, That's what Napoleon Said.
I’ve had the pressure tubing become blocked with dirt.
Time for some 3D printing ;-)
The guy in New York would of pushed a Bosch Install lol
That’s a finished good job. Indulge yourself. Go have some Sushi 🍣 😎🤣
Yes 😅
👍🏻👍🏻
For the sake of your knees, you should move to the land of basements
So , I guess you bested the first tech on price ?
It'll be 10 for a new inducer motor, but we'll throw in a new unit for free.
Last
Could have tried mounting the original switch in the horizontal position so gravity would help the pull down. Maybe that would be enough???
*Proving
Sounds like it might need a New induced draft Blower.
Put some oil on the bears
