You pay more for a full system when using a full service company because there is overhead. Do some charge more than others, sure. But when 100 people in the area call, they'll most likely get an appointment sooner rather than later. If ten people call the handyman on a 100° day when their AC stops working only one will get theirs serviced. I always put it like this: people have no problem spending 50-100k on a new truck that will last them probably a few years before they trade it. Your HVAC system, if installed properly, for 20k should last you 20 years easy.

I've made a lot of money fixing/replacing poorly installed systems from both HVAC companies and handymen/DIYers alike. End of the day it comes down to quality and honesty of the people you're working with. We frequently lost business to "the cheaper guy" then got a call 6 months -2 years later to redo or fix the job. With the current bottle neck in skilled tradesmen I imagine this problem will continue to worsen in the coming years. That said, as stated in the vid, CHANGE YOUR FILTER.

Now, if manufacturers would stop intentionally building air conditioners that fall apart after a few years! Used to be a whole home air conditioner would last 50 years. I've got a 2 year old whole home air conditioner that is already failing and falling apart. And it was far from being a cheap one. Effing corporations!!!!

Funniest part of my comment, having worked in a HVAC factory for 7 years, is your pronunciation of HVAC, is said like a name, (Ach-Vak) there are no periods to break it up... other than that, you are right, very glad you do these videos.

What's with the lower siding board @ 8:46? Only half a run...Is that due to the way the house is built. It looks "off". Not terrible bad just out of place. I did find the video helpful. I have a bunch of rot going on the bottom of my shop, with T111 [I think] siding. Currently a good way in or out for mice, snakes and all the uninvited .

I took an HVAC class. The instructor said that techs can haul out fancy-schmancy, specialized, seldom--used tools simply to impress gullible customers. "Well," the customer thinks, "if the tech needs all those tools, devices, and hardware to get the job done, the outrageous cost is justified." Handyman, you mentioned somebody charging $4,500 to replace a blower motor or blower fan. That's almost criminal.

That’s a sales tactic used by unskilled techs. A good tech knows how to use these tools to fix problems customers had no idea could be fixed. When I started working at the company I’m at now nobody used these “fancy-schmancy tools” because they were unnecessary. Using these tools I fixed things customers have complained about for years that everyone said couldn’t be fixed. It’s just issues with house is built or “some houses just have a hard time cooling when it gets really hot” or “you cant cool every room”. I’ve been consistently fixing systems like this for two years now and they’ve made me operations manager and I train every tech and installer how to use these “fancy-schmansy tools. The result has been a dramatic reduction in call-backs and our good reviews have shot through the roof. People with your views on these tools either can’t understand how to apply the data to figure out what’s going on, which is usually the case because it takes a lot of practice and knowledge of other things to use these effectively, or they’re old school and use outdated rules of thumb (many of which I heard in this video) that worked with old school R-22 refrigerant but just don’t cut it with the new refrigerants that are much more finicky. A good tech can tell you why your system died after 12 years, usually duct related and fix that while installing a system that will actually last 20 years and keep your whole house more comfortable at the same time. You don’t need a dr to tell you you’re sick and need medicine. But without paying him to diagnose you and prescribe the correct medicine you could just be taking something that eases the symptoms without fixing the problem. That’s what you’re doing when you hire a handyman replace your hvac system.

The fact that people (probably HVAC techs.) were assuming that there was no filter drier shows the lack of experience. Its not uncommon for the drier to be inside the condenser.

We have a ton of 30-40+ year old systems but a lot of the motherboards are hard to find and are not made anymore. I replaced a couple of the 40+ years furnaces at our properties. But yes knowledge and experience is a game changer for fixing these systems. If you get to know a solid HVAC person like I do and we still use him to install and fix some of the furnace if I can’t get them or stumped by my experience he’s a great renounce and mentor.

I had an HVAC company come do a "maintenance check" and they said my blower motor capacitor was bad and needed to be replaced. They wanted to charge me $500! I said no of course. After a little research I found that I could buy a new capacitor for under $20 and it's easily replaceable.

Unfortunately, ALL industries do the same thing- auto, appliance, trades, insurance, medical etc.. Proprietary parts, "subject matter experts and so on. All for the purpose of driving larger profits. They could care less about the purchaser/client or victim. Cost constantly goes up while quality decreases intentionally. Planned obsolescence...

Shoulda, coulda, woulda used a canvas connector between the unit and the main trunk and return. Add iso blocks under the unit, supported the gas line a wee bit better. Otherwise, very nice install and much better than a lot of "pro's" out there. Mr. Cool makes very good units, despite what HVAC techs tell you. Keep up the great work!
