*Great with keeping my 1st floor **Fastly.Cool** . Had a little struggle getting it to sit properly in my small window but once I got it situated it works perfectly.*
I’ve had 9 service vehicles over 33 years. Only one was a pickup truck. If you’re an installer or contractor, nothing beats a van for efficiency and security.
Greetings from Mexico. I'd like to know how to start in the HVAC world. I install, repair and give mantainance to air conditioning, but I want to learn More, sadly we are far from USA in this field. Thanks for showing us this videos, they encourage people like me to learn even more about HVAC. Excuse my english.
brother im 21 and have been doing hvac a little over a year now, started as a helper in residential and just never left haha. but your videos help so much! thank you for taking the time out of your day to make these. stay cool!
nice job. i totally diassagree with wrapping the lineset around the original way was equal opposite with badges on each corner but thats a personal preference.
The way he did it allowed both units look identical. Which is more pleasing to the eye. The only criticism i would have is if the unit was extremely close to the wall but from the video the outdoor unit is more than service-ability.
@@not.enoughto.go.around6176 yeah definitely didnt look like 18". but as for the install thats why i said personal preference. most of my customers in my area would usually prefer it my way because it just looks symmetrical. that and in socal especially homeowners was to see as little line set as possible.
Been at it for 48 years- 31 years with my own company. This was a great install and done properly. I would hire you to install for me on the spot! Keep up the great work!!
I wish more HVAC companies were like yours. So tired of all the sleezy salesmen and techs robbing people of money. This gives me hope for the trade still. Keep it up
The reason for the W to W-Out from the defrost board is it allows the defrost board to disable electric heat when the ambient is high, usually configured as the balance point at 35f or 40f. Manually initiated Emergency heat is a W call without a Y call which the defrost board defines as a W-Out regardless of ambient. Some York defrost boards will also stage electric heat if available and will allow a PipeFreeze protection timer after 4 hours of heat pump failure when ambient is below 40f.
I don’t like that about York, if the outdoor board fails they have no back up heat, can’t get the customer to put in emergency heat, you have to go and re-wire it
There is nothing better than having two quality techs coming together to complete a job. A buddy of mine whom I used to work with landed side job to do a furnace and a.c. swap out. It's so nice working with someone who isn't just a helper. There was zero stress involved on both of our ends and the job came out fantastic. I did my thing and he did his ... we both worked as if we were reading each other's mind, if that makes sense then you guys know what I'm talking about. Nice job Zach, I too work out of a pickup and am looking for a tonneau cover but I have a toolbox and can't live without it. I also have a regular cab so no room in the backseat for tools
Broski, you need a van. I have 7 techs in 7 vans. When I first started out I was working out of my truck too. Was unsure of making the commitment to a van. Best decision I ever made. 2 and half years after the first one, I now have 7 with 3 more on order. The van frees you up beyond anything I ever imagined. It has allowed me to grow my business more than anything else. Your work and skills are clean for sure boss. Noice.
I love the pride you take in your work. passing along your personal desire for clean and attractive Visual presentation and organization to your customer is inspiring. You do things for your client the way you would want them done for your own home. Bravo. Don’t ever change bro.
I don’t know but he knows how to manage it, make a nice looking install and also have the time to make a video out of it. Really nice!! I’ll love to work with him. I’m a self-employee doing Hvac for 3 years now by myself and I always take this channel as a reference for my future jobs.
Nah.. These large split units suck. They are pretty inefficient, but that might be due mostly to the ducting. I like nice compact mini splits. Much more quite, only downside is they are poor at air filtration .
Not flushing it, WILL contaminate the 410a. They don't play well with each other. It may not show immediately, but over time and depending if you used the existing coil or not, will start to cause havoc and break down the equipment. The reason that I mentioned the coil, is that the oils from the old r-22 will stay in it, low areas. New coil: the line opened at both ends will eventually drain a majority of it out, but there will be residual amounts left on the lineset walls.
Awesome video and as for your truck look into a roll out bed you will never have to roll up your cover and it locks into place and rolls all the way out to get all your tools and you can use it as a work surface
Now that’s the style of video that made me really like your channel in the beginning. Just clean by the book installation work and best of all none of those garbage RLS press fittings. It doesn’t take much extra time to remove the cores, which should be done before brazing anyway, hook up a bottle of nitrogen and purge while brazing. And when done right, a braze joint is going to last pretty much forever. Those gaskets in those press fittings I’m not so sure. Hell maybe they last just as long but I’m not going to find out. Brazing has been around a whole lot longer and it’s fun. Not to mention, the manufacturer is not sending out no systems with a bunch of press fittings. Actually, I’ve never seen a press fitting on any of the new systems I install and service. That tells me all I need to know. I will NEVER use that crap. Also I’m not paying for or charging my customers for the outrageous prices of the tool or the fittings. Don’t get me wrong I have some high end tools pretty much everything you have and I don’t mind spending money on tools but that’s one tool I’m not gonna buy. The only time I could see it being even remotely necessary is if you have a bunch of brazing to do in a hospital or something like that where you have to get a hot work permit and alert the fire department to do the work. Even still, I’m getting the permits and using my torch.
Quality HVACR. The name says it all! I am in the Construction trade and I'm always in awe of your knowledge and expertise when I watch your videos. Well done and great job!
This looks good 👍🏾 looks like I am going to step up to Hvac and find a Union to pay for the school currently I do maintenance service for a garden style property we have a lot of these hvac out side I need to be certified
Great install. The only problem I have is that you changed the orientation of the condenser. Would have looked the exact same and would be easier for service if both the units service ports were in the same location. Better and more efficient for maintenance.
Very nice install and bends👍🏻 well done! Scott brown channel has paddo (not sure of spelling) did a truck bed slide out sled for his packout and think May like it, if give it a check. Vid from before he moved thinking around November- December (sorry don’t have link). Anyway, congrats in new wheels, as I’m sure your loving it ✌🏻
I love how organized you are and the quality of your work and work ethic! I have two questions related to this job. Was the old unit R410A existing? I noticed you didn’t flush out the line set. Second do you guys not need heat pump stands for outdoor units in Tennessee? Here in Connecticut if we don’t use them and the outdoor coil freezes up and breaks it voids the warranty. Looking forward to more of your videos, you definitely have great ideas for tools and cleanliness all of us hvac guys can learn from
Hello Zack: Can you install an alarm to protect all your tools and equipment in cargo area? I looks like some bad apple can use a knife and cut it wide open!
You need to get a van - looks super annoying having all the stuff in the ute tray like that! Vans are so much better. Not only is it all secure, you get a rain shelter under the open tailgate. Just get a trailer for your dirt bike.
Really feeling these install videos, Would love more! It helps getting the brain juices flowing to elevate the game with new tips and tricks👌. Have you ever seen or tried "K-Flex 6RSR048068 - Titan Insul-Tube 1/2" Wall x 3/4" ID x 6' Long" exclusively for the outdoor unit? It last much longer in the sun and look very nice on the suction line verses standard K-flex. Check it out sometime (:
How you like the new york stuff? That's all I install. The 95 plus furnaces are the easiest to install imo. I'm still debating quitting my day job and go full time my self. Or to go work for a college by me doing maintenance since they have great pay and benefits. Then I can still do installs on the weekends. I also teach night class 2 nights a week at a trade school that I'm alumni at lol. I dont know what to do!
Hey not knocking you for testing that high but by the book test limit for the scroll compressor is much lower. Something about the plugs blowing out of them at high test pressures.
Hey not trying to nit pick, but more of a question - When you cut the suction line coming out of the house you did not debur it before attaching your new chunk of pipe. does this really matter?
Not a big fan of how you turned the unit the other way and had extra time and material just to make it look like the other one. Would of been fine if ya left the other way to easy service and what not but I like your vids and you do great work. Keep it up
Have you noticed any contamination from refrigerant has messed up your vacuum gauge? I have the older field piece one and it always seems to read differently once it has had refrigerant on its sensor.
