  2. THANKS AGAIN , JAY , FOR THE WONDERFUL INFORMATION ….🌅🌅

  3. If install outdoor unit
    When open the service valves but compress is running and fan , indoor unit is not cooling

  4. And also I like that vent brand in the bathroom

  5. Guess what advice I’m getting my heat exchanger fixed soon

  6. So I have a question. My light on my thermostat that says "cool on" is blinking. I've trouble shot the outdoor part, I was able to manually press down the plungers. It works, and draws the air out,. I can't get the AC unit to kick on though. Right now, i have the fan on auto and the outside unit running as i stuck something to keep the plunger down
    What's preventing my ac from turning on normally?

  7. why does your house have a furnace and a condenser? i thought homes are only supposed to have an ac unit

  8. Awesome video!! Everyone should use this as an example of how to give instructions! So good!

  9. What cause ac unit to run for a min or 2 then turns off for up to 5 mins or so it does it thru out day and night and it does not reach temperature set at thermostat

  10. Really like yoour videos
    5 starts

  11. This was excellent but my thermostat isn’t showing any read out. We changed the batteries and nothing. Need help!

  12. Thank you for your great videos, very informative. Do you have a video on starters/relays?

  13. Mine don't power inside or outside. I checked the breaker nothing I switched ghe lever outside to on and off and nothing. I turned it on with the thermostat and nothing g happens

  14. Thank you Jay! 1yr old “new” outside unit has died today 98 degrees! Great info before I call installer! New sub! 64yr widow.I’m gonna try the spinning fan hack. As far as I can tell all systems are go inside. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🥰🇺🇸

  15. Fan out side not spinning till I give it a push Every time
    Love your videos you are the best Thank you

  16. What brand(s) capacitor should I buy?

  17. This channel is gold. Electrician here looking at getting into HVAC.

  18. This guy is awesome! Thanks for the great advice.

  19. Another Comment Mr. Jay. What to do when your Condenser Compressor is on a Rooftop? I had too many uneducated workers bang and drill my Unit, I don't know anymore what to do. Again, TY!

  20. 12:55 If I can start the fan with a screwdriver but need to do it every time. What is the issue? That disqualifies a bad capacitor right?

  21. Thanks for the amazing video! My AC doesn’t work when it’s around 95 degrees outside. Both compressor and fan don’t start. And if it’s cooling down outside, the ac start working fine. Do you have any clue on what’s causing the problem?
