Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll., you do the best installs i have seen among the pro's here on youtube. Hello from up the coast (St. George, New Brunswick, Canada.) Your the first person i watch when i see a new video.
Thankyou steve I really appreciate the time you take into these vidioes they have help me to so so much I do hvac also thankyou buddy please keep posting !!!
Your right Steve. When I was in welding class about 40 years ago we had to learn the safe handling of cylinders. When you start a new one, quick crack open the valve to blow out dirt or grit, then put the regulator on and open the adjusting screw, and yeah stand to the side or behind and crack the valve, if nothing happens open all the way. It takes more time to describe than doing it. You don't even think about it, its like taking a dump.
Hey Steve, Been a longtime follower. For the bigger jobs find an apprentice. $3-400.00 daily fee will allow you to keep these videos for many more years. Your clients are loyal and the difference is pennies on the dolla. Thanks for all that you share.
I agree, when its time, its time to get someone to help and train. Problem is, you will go through a few helpers before you get one that is honestly interested in learning the trade. One thing for sure, you don't learn the tricks of the trade in a classroom so, anyone thinking about getting into the HVAC trade needs both if they plan on being successful and efficient. Steve has a lot of on the job knowledge that would be indispensable to anyone serious enough to move ahead with HVAC.
@@Garth2011 As someone who served as a steamfitter apprentice - classroom work is as essential as OTJT. Hand in hand together is what produces a craftsperson. USA trades apprenticeships are world-class.
@@rmac2592 Agreed, classroom is an obvious requirement but at the same time, its not everything you need to know once you are out in the field all by yourself. Likely anything else, you need a foundation to stand on, then you are ready for the real world. I have seen guys learn trades from "on the job" which is great but they have no sense past that which often makes them do crap work. Same in reverse. BOTH is needed.
Steve, I would like to purchase a torch and tank similar to the one that you utilize. Can you recommend the product and where it can be purchased thank you man I’m a long time follower.
Hey Steve, Long time follower. I love the videos. I have a question that me and a couple guys at work have for you. Why do you use soft solder vs silver solder? Do you not get any leaks? We were always taught to use silver solder and braze the lines in. Thanks Steve!
its stay brite 8 look it up it has a high silver count solder and stronger then brazing and no nitrogen purge needed .. its good for over 3,000 psi with vidration 3,800 psi no vidration before that the copper will blow apart
Excellent planning. From the attic plywood access plan down to the condenser "plumbing & electrical". Guys who leave the trash in the attic and other place are complete bums. I didn't see a name plate on the condenser, Ruud I presume. The Doc should be please with this one. I have seen some real crap installs, condensers not level to condensate lines with unstable pitch along the way down etc. which makes completely no sense at all. There are still some Stay Brite complainers out there claiming brazing is king.
Hi Steve always enjoy your movies.. I have a straight ac with gas furnace and a pad humidifier I ma looking to get a wifi stat that can control heat air and humidifier can you recommend one? I was leaning to ecobee premium
