Doing a proper vacuum and pressure test is one of the biggest install issues. Lots of installers do not do them properly if at all. The company I worked for hired an installer the manager loved because he would install units is 2 hours. They would pay him for a full day no matter how long he worked for the day. Got lots of call backs from units that he installed.

@jmead6121 5 дней назад

Ill bet 2 hrs is time to unload the truck & clean up after lol I dont use sub crews that can & do 2 / 3 complete change outs per day ..always call backs ..1 per day is plenty .dont drag the job out of course but do it all right the 1 st time & hardly ever an call back ..Right ??

👍👍👍 Every topic mentioned is bang on point. I'm a novice at this. I very much like to educate myself regarding the "mechanical" systems within my home. This video is the first one online that covers everything that is required for a quality install/repair. Regarding the "air handling" point here, wow! How many in this trade don't use a manometer? It's baffling. The absolute most important "spec" on your furnace = TESP! - How do you know if your HVAC was ever tested for static pressure? - look at your furnace. If you have small plastic/rubber plugs (1/4"-3/8") on each side of your blower, your unit was tested! Note: TESP for your furnace is measured on the unit itself. Basically, after filter (in blower compartment) and the top of your unit where the furnace transitions to your ducting. If your #'s are out of range of the spec'd rating of your unit, good luck trying to get the correct #'s re: heat rise/cooling drop temp you should have. (and the snowball effect re: gas pressure/coolant pressure for your system to work efficiently the way it was designed to) Found this to be very informative!

@drewsbenmad 20 дней назад

The problem is the customer expects miracles from the technician giving them one day to install a whole system regardless of whether there was existing issues with the old system. The line set and ductwork are often reused because it’s expensive to replace them and time consuming. But these two items are also some of the biggest problems so your new system will suffer if they don’t replace them. I would at least flush the line set and check the ductwork for proper sizing and leaks.

@NewHVACGuide 20 дней назад

All good points. Fast may not always be right.

@Garth2011 19 дней назад

Contractors are just as guilty if they allow a customer to tell them how to do the work. As long as it is all explained as to the risks involved in cutting corners and as long as the contractor isn't exposing themselves to liability and writes down what they suggest but customer declines, in writing, then you can always go back and point of the facts, "customer declined this or that". In many cases, its probably best to not take the job if a customer is cutting a bunch of corners and the performance is sacrificed giving the HVAC contractor a bad reputation. I'd say those jobs are not worth it if you are in business for the long run. Large HVAC companies who send out "salesmen" to do replacement quotes are also guilty of the same when it comes to allowing a customer to dictate a job. All they want to do is get a sale which in the long run turns sour plus, so much for all of the benefits we are supposed to be getting with the "new efficient" equipment. I've been there...I've walked away from folks who won't take the minimum professional advice and I have no regrets. There's a limit. Most 1 day replacements aren't done that well anyway...likely those have lots of issues.

Exactly! That’s why I bought and installed my own system. So far it’s been working like a charm. HVAC is overrated! Between $9,000 and $15,000 for a system. It’s ridiculous! And then it works for 7 months like your case and you are hosed. You need an HVAC Tech to tell you something you can research on your own. I did all the calculations including a load calculation, come to find out that my system was undersized. So I upgraded from a 3 to 4 ton and it solved my upstairs room issue where the rooms were always warm and my old unit would run constantly. I installed new line set, Trane furnace, coil, and AC for under $6,100 including a couple of tools. It ain’t rocket science, just do some research and go for it!

In the manual: very important to put drip tray and air deflectors in correct position or take it out, depending on orientation of the air handler. Seems like most the units I take out missed that page in the instruction manual.

@GuitarPlayer42 19 дней назад

Exactly this. On my third round of cleaning an absolutely filthy evaporator coil I noticed that an interior baffle wasn't removed during installation. Thus there was even more crud trapped behind that panel. After a quick check of the manual I was able to remove that panel, which not only increased airflow to the coil (which was the original purpose), but finally allowed me to clean that area and make some significant progress in air quality.

Still okay but feel like I need a small portable in master bed. Thank you Josh

@silvertbird1 19 дней назад

Good info. The AC tech I finally hired seemed very competent and has good reviews (selected in part because he's local, and I thought he would be more involved, but he met his crew and then left during the install), but he only recently started his company and may be overwhelmed with all the new work and trying to do so much himself. He wanted to install a 4 ton but a larger company quoted for a 3 ton. In the end, I had him put back a 3.5 ton and it is short cycling all the time. He installed a hard start kit on the new compressor, but now I'm wondering if that may cause problems in the long run. It's so frustrating to try and make the best decisions when spending $9000 for a new system, yet not convinced the system was installed correctly. And how can I really know at this point?

POE oil is hygroscopic which basically a moisture sponge. As long as the line set is properly sized and leak-free, a good RX-11 Flush can clean out the residual mineral oil sufficiently. Moisture & heat = acid formation in a refrigeration system regardless of lubricant.

I just had a new 5 ton system installed, cost $13,500. After they were done, I asked for the manual. The installer said there wasn't one. I went outside and rummaged through all the boxes and debris and found the manual still in its plastic wrap thrown out with the garbage. The installer also mounted the new thermostat to the wall crooked.

I wish i could have found a tech/company like yours. I got a lot of quotes, many just had no clue. Some afraid of the project ( wanted a quick payout). I had to get moving with hvac install so i ended up with what was the best at the time. Annoying for me was them sending out a sales guy, just for them to have to send out a tech for me to re-ask questions. Removed all old duct and unit. Within a year the evap coil got a pin leak in it. I had unf steped out, so i missed the vac and charge process. As a homeowner you trust that the pro will do the job acurately and with quality. I had the load calc done prior to estimates. Many would never ask, many more would take a copy just out of courtesy. Or look at it and tell me it was to small still.

It's pretty bad when 3 out of 4 AC companies don't even do a Manual J let alone a load calc. That was my recent experience. And the one that did the Manual J was a bit half-hearted about it. They all ended up saying 4 ton, so I went with the lowest bidder with the longest track record and the best reviews. Overall happy with my Carrier heat pump package unit, plus got the $2k tax credit.

I could add line routing. Once they're in, there's no relocating without pumping down the system and all that jazz which is going to be costly. So if it's in the way of future renovations, too bad. You'll just have to drop that ceiling or raise that floor or put that new wall elsewhere or cut around the deck board, etc etc. These things should be put in to be out of the way and not become a future inconvenience. The installer needs some sense but also should talk to the homeowner and maybe an architect. I can't tell you how many stupid routings I've seen that looked like installer convenience was at the top of the priority list.

Hiw long should a unit last? Well out TK units run for a good 20 years until the on road equipment they are mounted to go out of service due to age. Changing parts as needed. These are subject to severe road vibrations, temperature swings, and harsh invironments. But they run for 20 years. Yes the new equipment cools quicker and better. Thats technology. And there are bad versions. Currently fighting compresor burnouts from the newest design; factory sealed. Properly maintained and repaired, HVAC should last a long time.

It never happened and he became the flakiest person I've ever known. If I don't get paid from his bond, I'm 100% suing his ass. There's more but, I'll end there.

I'll be looking at past videos and looking forward to future ones because I'm in a similar situation as you it sounds like where I was royally screwed. My HVAC guy mistakenly took my kindness for weakness and I will have recourse, somehow someway. Thank you HVAC Guide For Homeowners👍👍

@@GG-iu8ut I got so fed up & annoyed with HVAC techs from the home-warranty company that I went to the community college to take a HVAC class. I got my EPA 608 certification, bought a recovery machine, vacuum pump, refrigerant, nitrogen tank, manometer, etc. to maintain my own system. At the very least I can now observe an installation & point out what is being done improperly, or not done at all. To me the investment was well worth it.
