Really appreciate your videos. Over the last year, thanks to you, I've pimped out my a/c unit with a soft start kit and run it under light water mist on really hot days and it has helped immensely. Now our family has grown and we're buying a new house and I want to go through the new furnace completely thanks to this video. You've saved me a fair bit of money and really appreciate your knowledge.

Thank you for these great tips on servicing a furnace. I will do this next week when the weather warms up a bit! Freezing weather has hit the Midwest over the last couple of days which is supposed to let up next week. I just implemented the "Keep Your Family Warm During A Power Outage By Installing This $5 Part" so my family is ready in the event of a power outage this winter". Thanks again Dave for all of these great tips.

Excellent video. Thanks to info I’ve learned from your channel, I’ve installed a MicroAir soft start kit on my AC compressor, and next I’m going to service my furnace based on this video. I had 3 HVAC contractors come out earlier this summer to check out our system. They each suggested we replace our entire system, which is 15 years old, but works fine, with estimates ranging from 16k all the way up to 28k!

@dukebeach1 10 месяцев назад

Same here. I purchased a house in 2019 that has a Munchkin natural gas boiler tied to a hydronic radiant floor system and indirect hot water tank. Installed in 2006. Of the 6 or so techs that have come out, only 1 has any idea what is going on and he is extremely expensive to do basic service. Now, Munchkin did go out of business so parts are a problem but I would think many are universal. All the techs, “This is a really old system. I’d replace it”. $17K-26K When I lived in New England most homes were radiant (old time radiators in each room) fueled by home heating oil. Those boilers were 50 plus years old and going strong. How can my boiler, which is 17 years old, need replacing? Anyway, I don’t have the $$$ even if I wanted to. I don’t understand the inherent dishonesty in the HVAC industry. Makes me lose faith in my fellow man. How can I live in an area of 750K people, hot housing market, and not be able to find a competent and honest HVAC company?

@portraitofman2063 9 месяцев назад

@@dukebeach1I work in residential for a large company. Company policy requires management to “encourage” techs to try and produce turnovers on jobs with older systems. Systems today will last about 10-15 years before getting replaced. It costs my company about 500 dollars just to send a tech out to the job. Just to SEND the tech to the house. Any turnovers to make up for that is desired. If we don’t at least plant the seed of a sale, and provide a record that we at least mention it to the homeowner, we can get penalized by the company. Most techs hate being told to sell things that don’t need replacing, and we’ve floated this to management, but it’s corporate policy. It’s not the techs fault, it’s the way the game is played these days, especially by larger companies.

@CrabtreeBob 8 месяцев назад

Those old boilers you are referring to were made of cast iron or heavy gauge steel. That's why they can last so long. Even new cast iron and steel boilers aren't as durable as the older ones. They are made using less material. On most newer HVAC equipment, some parts are not universal. Munchkin boilers were not designed to last long.>@@dukebeach1

@dukebeach1 8 месяцев назад

@@CrabtreeBob Well, I guess that is the case. I think I'm going to buy a bunch or parts now while I can to hopefully get as many years as possible out of my boiler. I found a supplier in CA that seems to have just about every part for my particular boiler. I'm sure they'er not OEM, but as long as they are an adequate substitute they should work. I can't imagine a spark ignitor or flame sensor is so different on my boiler than another make/model that aftermarket wont' do the trick. I suppose I'll find out.

@gmeister81 11 месяцев назад

@tonyvanwoezik9842 10 месяцев назад

Hi there , yes you can clean the flame sensor but only very lightly with very fine steel wool .I'm in Canada and its colder so I need to do this every second year .Please note after a few years the flame rod will need to be replaced.

@briand2614 10 месяцев назад

Thanks. I replaced mine at 13 years not knowing I could clean it. So it is possible it was actually bad. I've replaced the hot surface ignitor (keep a spare), and the draft inducer motor. 16 years of use.

I discovered a massive condensate leak. This was 3 days after a brand new Carrier installation. The guys did not connect the exhaust as per the manual. There were several other flaws.

The startup sequence just saved me a ton. I watched my inducer motor come on and shut off no fire. After calling a company who wanted 300 to show and 50 every 15 after I watched again. I realized no fire could mean pressure switch issue. Was able to blow air in it free it up and get it working. Got the part for 50 bucks and back in business. Thank you so much for the tips. And yes there were no obstructions just an old switch.

I actually have a new flame sensor in a ziplock bag duct taped to my furnace for that just in case day. Planning on buying a circuit board to also put in a freezer bag for standby. I priced it at about $150 and when I stupidly paid a company to clean my furnace they said a new installed board would run about $1400.

@trentslayton6300 7 месяцев назад

It is very very rare to replace a flame sensor. I have replaced 1 in the last 3 heating seasons. Just clean it once a year and you will be good. If I was you I would just get a capacitor for blower and outdoor unit. Probably a contactor for outside. Other than that save your money on the board and get a multi meter. Chances of correctly diagnosing a bad board with no meter or any other parts is slim

Thanks a lot for the video. I saw this when you released it but never got around to actually doing it. Well I noticed we've been randomly getting times where the thermostat was calling for heat but the temperature was still dropping. We'd still get heat eventually so I didn't pay it too much attention. Well I checked today and it was erroring out trying to ignite, because only the first burner would activate not the others. I took it apart as you showed here and took out the burners. The backs and wings were caked in rust. Cleaned them all with a brush and it lit first try! Saved me a service call. Thanks for putting this info out there for DIYers to find.

Your video is very informative that would greatly assist HVAC technicians that are new to the trade but having said that, I would never recommend a homeowner to mess around on the gas side of any gas fired appliance, recipe for disaster and in fact may nullify one's home insurance in the event of fire or damage. The only other point i would like to make is that you will never get a proper amp draw on a blower motor without the blower compartment door in place.

I have a contractor who have maintained my furnace and ac for years without finding anything wrong. They occasionally replace the flame sensor, once or twice over 11 years. They were the ones to replace the AC and furnace, but they did so only after I specifically asked for it. The only issue with them doing maintenance is that their maintenance appointments are backlogged by 2-3 weeks into the future.

@Milosz_Ostrow 10 месяцев назад

(8:10) If cleaning the flame sensor electrode makes any difference, it may mean that the intermittent pilot controller is on its last legs and should be replaced. I was cleaning the electrode on mine several years ago because the furnace wasn't lighting reliably or staying lit and it let the furnace limp along for a few months, only to stop working completely in late winter. I spent several months in a cold house until I could find a replacement controller on eBay for a reasonable price, not something I wish to repeat.

Rermember, to check for a cracked heat exchanger, you can use a manometer on the rubber line from the heat exchanger to the pressure switch and only turn on the fan, if the manometer senses change in pressure, you have a crack.

This is a good video for a new service tech. Although I'm not a fan of checking gas pressure while the burners are lit right by the set screw. Homeowners.. don't touch anything. Change ur filter..clean ur flame senser if u want n check blower bearings and capacitor if u want but thats all I'd touch on this furnace. N service techs just blow out burner dust w CO2 tank. Removing manifold is more difficult with black iron gas pipe going into unit as opposed to flex pipe.

My coaches ceiling mounted heater randomly stopped working one morning. He called a guy to come check it out. Tech shows up, take a small panel off. Cleans some dust off a relay switch then turned it back on. It was just dusty around the switch. Heater has been working fine for 5 years now. That call cost cost him $275 for the tech just to show up and basically flick a switch.

15 years ago I had a new furnace put in. the installer wanted me to set up a $100/year maintenance plan. I said no. For the last 15 years I have maintained it myself and it's been working great. I never had to replace a part, just clean it. I found checklists online to help me determine the points of concern. I also got the furnace service manual. No problem! Saved me $1500-2000 doing it myself. Plus I learned a lot and can likely troubleshoot a problem and even do a repair if I can get parts.

I got that maintenance call fee refunded and said I wasn’t going to give them a bad yelp review but also suggested they get their shit together.

@BilalKhan-uc2ek 10 месяцев назад

Correct. Maintenance calls are " loss leaders". For most companies it's a step to get into your home and sell you a new furnace now or years down the road when you truly need a replacement. All depends on the companies ethics I guess.

Here's a HVAC Advice: if you are not sure if you have a crack Heat Exchanger by looking, you can check by using a stove lighter with one simple trick. Allow power back to the unit and on the thermostat, switch the fan switch to on. The fan will run, blowing across the Heat Exchanger. If the Heat Exchanger has a crack, air will be forced into it. You ignite the stove lighter and carefully put it inside the heat exchanger, if you see the flame flicker a lot or lose it flame then yes, the Heat Exchanger is crack or rusted out.

@cynic5581 7 месяцев назад

Carbon monoxide virtually never exits the “crack” it comes from the burners inlet ports. The pressure the blower puts into the heat exchanger reduces the draft in the heat exchanger prior to the crack. Generally long before the draft is reduced to the point of the flame rolling out the exhaust fumes (along with CO) will proceed the that flame. A lot of the time you’ll see discoloration / soot around the burner box area when this is happening even though you never actually see the flame touch those areas but soot from the fumes are still present. Personally if you see anything that’s “odd” I’d call a professional. Call around to friends to find a company you trust. Then have the tech explain the oddity, if he can’t call someone else.

He told me to use a fine sandpaper to get it really clean.

Illegal to ever use a cord to supply power to a fixed in place appliance or furnace. One way of satisfying the NEC would to install a 15 or better yet a 20 amp double pole double throw switch with center position off.

I do some of those on my furnace but not every year. What he did is 200% - 300% what maintenance companies actually DO. Have HVAC license - what he is showing is 100% on the money.
