Glad you brought up the filters. The filter industry really convinced people their AC system is a whole house air purifier. They took a $1 filter and sold you a $20 filter while costing you higher monthly $..

I am sooooo lovin’ this guy! I have questioned every a/c maintenance man forever and never get this information! I really think they are inadequately trained. Thank you!

Thank you. My pipe insulation was literally falling apart and falling off. A trip to Home Depot tomorrow will take care of that. Thanks again!

Thank you. I’m 71 years old, I was taught this when I was helping a HVAC guy part time. I was told by another HVAC guy that I was smothering my unit with those filters that you were showing, causing my unit not to work efficiently, so when I stopped using them I could tell the difference.

Watching your videos inspired me to cover my ac during winter time. In northern Nevada we get snow ice rain and lots of wind. So I cover it in the winter just to keep all the debris out of the inside of the unit saved me alot of time.

Thank you for this! I follow these steps I’ve learned from you. One more thing I’d like to add, is if you have your AC repair company come regularly to do maintenance (I do mine spring and winter) and general check overs. They will be more responsive when you have an AC emergency. I live in Florida annd rely on my AC. When I call they know me by name and get someone out to me immediately. I’ve been using them since 2000 and have used them faithfully for maintenance and the two new units I’ve had to replace over the years. Loyalty to a good company pays!
