Just used your video. It's 35° here and my furnace kept kicking on and off after 4 seconds. Flame sensor was dirty. Cleaned it like you said and now we have heat again. My children will stay warm tonight. Thank you so much for these videos.

[davidscott]

As an H.V.A.C Tech with 18 years experience your explanation is clear and precise you're spot on with your troubleshooting excellent video keep up the good

[tonyflores]

I'm a retired a/c tech. I follow your videos. They are the best clear and understanding. Straight to the point the way a teaching video should be.

[zachmaxwell]

Man, you rock. Saved me hundreds of dollars over the past couple years with troubleshooting videos and how to fix them. No nonsense, just straight info, love it. Thanks for all the work you put into these videos!

[eliseharrison]

Another big THANKS!! We woke up this morning, Christmas morning no less, to a freezing cold house. My husband had been out trying to decipher the installation manual, but me being a genius went straight to YouTube and found you. Your #1 reason was indeed the answer! We scrubbed it off and are now nice and warm. So thanks again! Getting someone out here on Christmas Day would have been either impossible or cost us an arm/leg for something that took 5 minutes. You are wonderful for putting good out in the world like this, our own Christmas miracle. Hope you and yours are enjoying the day.

I’m a general contractor and YouTube has become a great tool for me. When you’re against the clock on a job you could get frustrated browsing useless videos but eventually you’ll find a gem like this one. Definitely subscribing so I could stay on top of your hvac videos. Thanks

The safety switch was clutch for me! I spent 1k$ on the control board after the ac person said it was no good. It turns out the control board was OK; the safety switch was not engaging when the panels were closed in which the ac repair person either ignored or did not know to check. Thank you for saving me money! You're the man!

I hope someone else will get used to this very detailed video!

Cheers!

[FoodieMel]

I found your video after coming home to no heat and it was too late to call a repair man. I cleaned the flame sensor and it worked! Not only did you save this single mom a good amount of money, but my kids sleep warm tonight because of your advice. Thank you!!

[MarcoPerez-wsxs]

Thank you! Did everything you said to do, furnace was up and running in 10 minutes.
You are helping families that are on a budget. Simple fix that saved me money.
Bless you for helping other.

[mattsnider]

I had the same problem maybe 2 years ago and just now. This same video solved the problem. Saved me 100 dollars plus from a repairman. 2 thumbs up!!! Easy fix!!!

[kenquade]

Wish I had found your video sooner. $192 service call to diagnose and clean my flame sensor yesterday. You have now given me the knowledge and courage to try and fix it myself next time I have an issue. Excellent tutorial. Thank you for creating this video.

[kennethmarsh]

This guy is great for the way he went step-by-step throughout the heating process, my man

[joaquinphilippe]

Thank you so so much! Got home and our house was freezing cold (56F), saw your youtube and I tell you, you were my answered prayer! May God continue to bless you and your family!🙏🏽

[onemanarmyish]

We have a new born baby and our furnace went out and it was freezing and this video saved us. Seriously; thank you so much.

Recently, I have begun viewing YouTube videos for help on a variety of subjects but this is the first video that encouraged me to make a comment as well as subscribe to its channel because it saved my family time and money. This video explains typical furnace issues with relatable details all within 20 minutes. I did not have to fast-forward through the video and in fact, found it entertaining. After changing the filter with no results, my husband called out a service provider 2 days before Christmas and they were going to charge $265 just to come out, not including what they would have charged to repair and we could imagine the exploitative costs. The temperature in the house dropped to 53 degrees. I canceled the call and found this video. The furnace featured here is just like our furnace and step by step, I learned a lot and we may never have to call for service again after getting heat in the home again just in time to prepare for Christmas cooking, cleaning, and entertaining of planned as well as surprise guests! This guy is a genius who deserves an award and or television show. I will check out his other videos while I am on my 2-week winter break.

I just discovered your channel and just subscribed. I'm a retired contractor / handyman for 40 years, but never really got into HVAC. I always did maintenance on my own furnace for many years, but after I watched few of your videos, I've learned a couple of things from you. Keep up the good work

[Jim-Wade]

Being a lifelong learner who know little about these modern systems, I'm about to start watching everything you've posted to get an education on these furnaces. Glad to have found you.

[misodinamosa]

I can’t thank you enough for help with your videos. I’m a single mom but pretty handy. My Dad passed & he always helped me troubleshoot my house issues. This is helping me save money I simply don’t have. God bless you, your family & friends and for taking the time to help others 💜🙏🏻

[KNg-ptwf]

I’m not a tech and wish I had found this channel earlier. Over two winters I had to learn quickly how the furnace works. If anyone is a DIYer, the best way to fix your furnace is to learn the sequence of the furnace’s operation. Then you can troubleshoot the issues quickly. And be familiar with the furnace model to get parts. Great video! Thank you.
