That was a slick door and filter track setup. Looks like they paid attention to detail when they designed that kit. Kinda makes your day when your customers give you a nice present after ya get done with the job ya did for them. When I was delivering mail a few of the people left cookies or something small in the box with my name on it as a gift for doing my job. I always remembered and appreciated those little things I got from people in appreciation for my hard work.
@F P i got mine subsidized by the state, $100 off. i like it at that price! I do still have my old non-smart thermostat, though, in case I ever need to swap it out.
Really liked you showing us that filter panel and slot. We might have a couple of commercial accounts that we might be able to use that on. Really loved your "test" of the hammer 😂
All manufacturer's should supply a filter rack like that on their residential package units...but none do. This kit appeared to have ample size for the proper size filter to promote proper filter performance. Instead, to save a few bucks, they leave it up to the goofy assed installer to put in some undersized 16x20x1 filter on a 4 ton unit.
I very much enjoy your videos, opinions and all. There’s something about the way you speak which I could listen to all day. I sure would like you to discuss why you feel the way you do about Nest stats. Right now this video is running about 3% thumbs down. Does that make it a bad video? Nope! My experience with Nests- now on the third generation I think- has been very good. There’s nothing as simple and reliable as the old bimetallic spring type stats anymore.
Nest are great. I've installed hundreds, maybe 2 or 3 went bad. I had more failure rates with honeywell t4s. Let's accept the new age. Nest is a miracle.
Calling them a miracle is a little extreme. I've seen quite a few failures just this summer. From what I've seen, they do fine in heating, but not so well for cooling. I'd recommend an ecobee over nest.
I’ve only had a single call back out of many and it was just a customer being a stickler. I’ve had T4’s with bad relays right out the box. Stopped using them long ago. Your right though, some just gotta accept the new age. Glad it’s not just me. Some of these folks making me feel like a criminal!
Think that filter rack and door are a great idea. Your comment on the condensate line being sloped toward the unit may have been correct but more importantly you and I both know that these package units need to be trapped or they just hold water. Should have seen if that free hammer did as well on the Ecobee stats. Enjoy your clips, keep safe.
Those Nest t stats are great! If you want somebody watching you on the web, the new ones have cameras in them. If I want somebody watching me dance around naked, I'll sign up for it. Great hammer! I hope you get to use it thousands of times!
When buying replacement parts there should be a tick box for Nest Thermostat Equipped. When everything arrives there's just a nice new hammer... When you know, you know...
Good job, Ted. Looks like an engineering snafu. Trane should actually pick up the tab for a fix such this. I am at odds with Amana on so things in their heat pumps, seems the factory doesn't want to owe up.
Good god i wish my evaporator coil was that easy to get to. I had to clean mine a couple days ago. Required taking off the whole top like most . great video 😎
You haven't had a channel on you tube until you use a claw hammer where it's not appropriate ,but you have graduated to the next level with nice lumpy Hammer😬☺☺☺
How did you rinse off the sprayed on evap cleaner, just with a hose? I didn't see any water in there, when you talked about it and then went into installing the filter housing. I want to clean mine also. I have the same unit. I bought a used house, and the air smells, I was told there was a filter in the unit I could clean out, apparently not, after finding this video. I might and try and install this.
Great repair thanks for the knowledge on that package unit best thing to do to those Nest thermostats are a service repair guy nightmare so things should should be recalled what's a hammer
Chisels and claw hammers are both hardened steel and shouldn't be used together. Your "new" Estwing is softer and meant for striking chisels. Good vid, as usual. Thx for posting!
Love your channel. I recommend you buy a go pro camera along with a chest or head holster. That way, you'll get great shots of what you are doing, PLUS you will always have 2 hands.
I have the 2017 2.5 ton version of this unit, product number 4WCC4030A1000AB. Is a filter actually needed here? I have a filter on my ceiling air return that I thought was the only filter in my system. I cleaned my coils a couple days ago and had a service tech out in August 22 and didn't see a filter in the condenser section either time. If so would I use a 2 inch or 1 inch thick filter? Trane doesn't provide any useful documentation here.
Negative pressure unit correct? A P trap would definitely help that water issue staying in that pan IMO. Surprised the home inspector didn’t hit that. They Always hit that in NC even on positive pressure units that don’t require the trap.
Hey I was wondering if U ever had this issue or anyone else . We put in a new American standard unit everything was good for about the first couple weeks to a month . Than the customers complained that a couple times of day out of no where for about 10 min periods the unit would get very noisy like something wrong is going on. After several times to catch the sound I heard it and sounds like the compressor acting up. I called text support and they couldn’t figure out what’s wrong . It’s got an LG trans/American standard compressor
Speaking of filters: ever shoot a video of a Honeywell electronic air filter? And what are your thoughts on them? My unit seems to work good, and I clean them a few times a year in my laundry tub. I wash the primary filters every month and replace the secondary electrostatic filters every 6 months...
G’day, I’ve seen a few people installing MrCool split systems on a few channels, those DIY quick connect units. We don’t have them in Australia, mainly Daiken, Mitsubishi heavy industry and Fujitsu are the top three, but they are normal ones that need to be professionally installed. I was wondering what you thought of those mrcool units. They sound kinda dodgy. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
I lost my multimeter anyways I have a trane package unite I was gave it a maintenance I wash it down and the next day it didn't Wana turn on once I press the contactor its starts I'm guessing it's the disconnect so I'm change it out have a extra one so hopefully that's it all post if it was or not thx
Screw those nest thermostats 100 percent . Had a radio station I worked on their units and 7 of the 8 units at nest thermostats all of them not working giving me different issues
I died laughing when you started smashing that ridiculous piece of crap. I don't know why anyone would need a computer for a thermostat. I don't call changing the temperature on your thermostat when you're away from home a necessity.
