@Susienews1 Just stay away from Chas Roberts!!

That filter looked like the air flow is not functioning properly. If they have issue with the dust collecting on half the filter, that tells me that the air is turbulent in the ducting and only flowing over one half of the area of the filter. Not good news for the air circulation or the fan motors, and your power bill. Yes, power bill you ignorant assholes, if the air flow is reduced by half, then you are forcing your machine to do more work to achieve the same result (temp).

@fothgt 1-circuit breaker 2- thermostat stopped working(temp control in the house).3- a/c compressor inside air handler broke .

one of these. start with breaker, then thermostat,a cheap one is $10.

@therohvac I agree, especially on the return drop! to many "technicians" don't know air, and don't know ductwork. I can see that you do. I like a RA drop big enough for me to stand in :) Media filters a standard with my installs too. Keep up the good work!

[fothgt]

my ac does not even come on. And I am trying to figure out why.

What the fuck... Hos is this REPAIR? This is clearly maintenance.

[therohvac]

This was not informative at all. As a matter of fact it should be a "Don't let this happen to you video.".

The air flow over the filter is uneven and return air trunk is under sized.

Do you guys ever consult a true pro or do you just open up an HVAC book and misuse and misinterpret the information?

The stat was set for 60 when it switched off. You have to take the top panel off before you can take the bottom door off of that York furnace, and visa versa putting them back on. The moron in the video didnt get it on all the way. GEEEZ..just leave to the pros...we all paid good money to learn this trade.
