Good video charles with dealing with another overengineered American company hvac system. And I did enjoy Charles yours and Ted cooks Curtis hvac guy type videos last week with the Goodman package unit. From you now when are you going to give us a ridiculuos video where you have to go up 30 ft in the air video to do a compressor on a trane because the tenant house is on a theft area plus a flood zone. And rather than just use a platform mounted 10 feet up on The wall of the house just put it loose on the ground 30 ft up then mount the condenser to it at roof level. But great video Charles.
This is why Trane units are expensive to buy and repair. Parts are overpriced and proprietary, so you are stuck. Dealers love them because the distributors give them truck wraps to advertise Trane. We use Goodman to give customers what they need at a fair price. When they need service, every truck has most or all the parts on them. If someone insists on Trane, we cant buy them cheaper because we don’t sell enough. We then quote Daiken or Amana. Still less than Trane
I don't understand the thought process on putting cheap foreign made safety switches, sensors, and thermistors in a machine that relies on those things to actually do its job for the homeowner. Homeowners and business owners just want their system to work. These cheaply built safety switches, sensors, and thermistors become the Achilles heel of the machine and cause service related issues over the years of ownership. I understand that manufacturers are wanting to maximize profits in order to show profits that shouldn't really be there in the first place in order to show constant growth for investors on publicly traded companies and to make the owners rich on privately owned companies out there as well. $30 billion a year in profit isn't enough profit, I guess. These types of issues look bad on the manufacturer, looks bad on the contractor installing the stuff, and looks bad on the industry. Seems like manufacturers that used to make quality equipment and built a good reputation over the years are still riding that reputation that they built, yet they aren't delivering on their past name and quality reputation anymore. Oh, its a Trane, its a Lennox, its a Carrier, its a Rheem, its a Bosch, its a York and so on, none of them last anymore and all of them are built as cheap as possible. Across the board this seems to be the issue. Profit over all else and homeowners and business owners are being bled dry in the process. There is a transfer of wealth going on and the American public is flipping the bill. They are paying more for equipment than ever before for machines that are not built well. I believe that all HVAC machines are designed and engineered to fail, not last. No record profits year after year in building a system that is durable and reliable. These manufacturers don't care that they have failures under warranty when they are paying pennies on the dollar for the parts by manufacturing out of the country & exploiting cheap labor pools. When the system is out of warranty they will easily start to recoup any money lost on units that failed during the warranty period by charging exorbitant prices for service related parts. The commercial markets with their short warranty periods really help them recoup that money even quicker, so business owners take a massive hit there. I guess my thought is, how do they keep getting away with this stuff? Why aren't more homeowners and business owners holding them accountable for obvious false advertising? They are blatantly lying to everyone's faces, they are getting away with it, all while making record profits pilfering money from the American public. Maybe it's because they have us all by the short hairs and they know it? If all them are doing the same stuff, what options does anyone have? People want or need heat and air for their homes and businesses. For someone who actually wanted to compete against them in the market, ie. start a new brand and make quality built machines that would actually last, it would cost a fortune to get involved due to all of the different government entities that you would have to get stamps from to start making equipment to sell to the public, not to mention the high cost of setting up manufacturing. Kind of a weird deal. These types of issues are across all markets now. Just take your pick. Look at the quality drop and price increases with vehicles, appliances, computers, power tools, HVAC tools, etc. Thanks for the video and stay safe out there.
Nothing stops like a Trane.
You got that right!

Thats why bypass humidifiers are a bad idea with these furnaces. Especially in a counterflow application.

These companies have come to realize that quality is not profitable. If they sell units that last 20 years, they are losing money.
What’s the eps meaning???
Why didn't you put the board with that bundle of wires off to your right?
Because the left was better
I don't understand why you changed the board. It's not bad. Just because you told the customer it was bad and needed replacing?
Why does Trane have to over engineer? I was so lost the first time I came across these sensors
They look just like standard limit switches
@ but they aren’t
Thanks for the video👍👍🇺🇸
Carrier does the same crap. They need a TV set full of electronics to run an 80% furnace
You should see the crap in the new commercial systems now. Gotta be a dam computer programmer
