We Added Air Conditioning To This Home In ONE DAY. | Full Installation From Start To Finish 

Thanks bro! 👊🏼

hello sir pls help i forgot to turn off my heat pump while renovating sanding the kitchen i have central air vents in the kitchen mu question is does the vents in the kitchen sucks the dust and can spread into the whole house?

@@fluxcapacitor8416 in my experience the supply air register in your house ONLY blow air. The only register that has the ability to "suck" air is the return air grille which is taking air from the house back to the air handler or furnace. Keeping your air filter (s) clean by replacing or washing them on a REGULAR basis will help a great deal in keeping your air and HVAC system clean and running efficiently.

thank you sir i found the grille on the attic beside the stairs iy has 20x20x1 filter size these could be the return.

@@fluxcapacitor8416 yes, that is your return air.

Isn't a low cost replacement and a whole new unit the same thing? Lol

@@eric3817 Overpaying for a service is not value.

Yep I was low on R22 on an 18 year old Bryant. r22 leaks over time just like all refrigerants. Even the EPA cert teaches you when you study that no system will be 100% leak proof and all systems eventually need a recharge. Instead of offering to leak down test and recharge with r22 which believe it or not is still affordable when you buy it yourself, he wanted to upsell me a $12,000 brand new unit installed. I know the AC is about $3500 alone brand new and takes about 4 hours to install if your good. So why should I pay you $8000 extra? That is why I got my EPA cert so I can just do my own damn maintenance and I have learned about Goodman. I dont need a whizbanging 4,000 Seer super inverter mega zone 3 Million Super X AC. I just need a damn ac to blow some cold air. I can fix it when it breaks oh whoopie do! That HVAC tech could have made up to $1000 if he would have done honest work for me but he tried to take advantage of me and I bought into his scheme at first but was hesitant to accept it so I slowed down and did my own research boy what I learned during this process.

@@tangoseal1 where are you at that R22 is still considered affordable? It's expensive as hell around where I live.

Ebay

It really is but I’m happy to do it because of comments like this one!! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

@@diyhvacguy, agreed! As a new subscriber, I've been watching so many of your videos now! It would have been nice if your material was around when I installed my unit. I did not know to do HALF what you've done, the tools you use etc., but I was never in HVAC. There was only central heat for the slab & the system blew the air underneath it. It kept your feet warm but that's what slippers are for! It was horribly inefficient by that time so I tore it out, filled everything in with concrete and installed a split central heat and air system. A friend told me his family member worked in HVAC & he had a sheet metal brake so I provided him with sheet metal and measurements so he was kind enough to form the pieces of my plenums. The spaces I had to work in were small so I had to take them in as "panels" and then assemble, seal & insulate everything. I cut/installed the collars, boots, flex etc., ran the lineset and brazed the connections. I utilized a 240V outlet from the living room intended for a large window AC unit and routed it to the outside with the "disconnect" box etc. I only needed to borrow a vacuum pump & the unit contained ~15' of lineset worth of refrigerant and I've been having ~20° difference at the register compared to ambient. That's been over 15 yrs ago and thankfully it's still going! As for maintenace I've simply kept the air filters changed, I've cleaned the inside/outside coils and I replaced the capacitor at the condenser. There was a hot day where it didn't start so I opened the panel and saw the capacitor was rusted and bulging... Anyway, I know there are more I haven't watched yet but keep the videos coming! ^_^

While you're at it, go ahead and grab you a stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, IR thermometer and start doing medical work. I'm sure you could save money on yourself or your hypocrites in church.

Hope you realize this is all a hack job...

@@rv10flyer84 An MD requires a medical degree, an HVAC service tech does not. BTW, why don;t you work on designing thousand ton high rise chiller based systems and other high profile HVAC projects. Oh wait, you need a Mechanical Engineering degree for that! LOL, an HVAC tech paralleling his education to that of an MD!

@@andydelle4509actually you have to have a epa license to legally work on anything with refrigerant

im that guy, its because we have seen homes and families destroyed by people that think they know what they are doing . knowing how to make proper gas connections and, venting , and knowing how to handle refrigerant, can save someones life. i get calls all the time to fix shitty diy jobs

I appreciate that! 🙏🏻

I have never heard about that Brand and you said that it's made by Trane.

Did you buy them used there is no way in hell you can get all that for 500$.

Today, $2500

You'll be on the certifiably spectrum in a month!

Glad it was helpful!

Great tip - Safety First!

It saved my butt on a job recently, when 1 of my technicians called in sick, and I had to do the installation.

Seriously. Just had a guy out here for a checkup on a 2018 unit & now the unit isn’t working. It was fine before he came I just wanted to keep it in warranty. He said I have a line leak so will need to replace it. I will replace it myself if it comes to it because I am not paying $10-$15k He says oh you’ll get a new furnace and all I said I just got a new furnace in 2018. There is nothing wrong with it why would I replace it? Ridiculous.

Thanks for this. Good information for people to know. Generally, if a diyer can have a contractor come and get a replacement part they can have it replaced. But I’ve tried to tell people that Goodman’s only have a 5 year warranty out of the box. Unless registered by a licensed contractor, in which case it would be the full 10 year warranty. Cheers man

When it's time to replace, it would cost less to buy a new whole unit every couple of years ( if necessary) than pay the prices some professionals charge. Warranty be dammed in that case.

That’s great info. While I’m a pilot, I’ve always been fascinated by the trades and do lots of DIY.. Your comments are great. There are some Internet dealers who are telling me that I’d still have a 5 year, even for a self install, because they are an authorized dealer.. Any thoughts on this? Thanks for any help

@@boeing757pilotI’m a dentist and I enjoy installing mini splits and servicing my units.

@@abelaguilar8137 That's great to hear! It is fun.

Yeah, that's what everyone thought about that serial cheating preacher I busted in 2017. Gullible people with no integrity in the good ole USA.

LOL... What does the Lord's work have to do with air conditioning?

Same thing just different cabinets sometimes

Soft solder on R-410A 😅😅😅😅 crazy.

I don’t. I hate ductwork 🤣 sorry man. I will be redoing the supply ducting in my home soon. So stay tuned for that :)

Also It will NOT RUST OUT like it would outside !

​@@pablogaviria9265You both are wrong

Yesir. As long as it’s within 6ft from the unit. 👍🏼

🙏🏻

I just replaced my old furnace and AC system after I installed it the new system is working fine,.. It was a little bit harder than how it looks in the videos but I was able to do it, thanks so much for your videos I saved a lot of $$$$

I offer that service at Patreon.com/diyhvacguy we can register your equipment for a flat rate of $100 Then it will be covered for the full 10 years 👍🏼

Thanks man. It was all Terry 🤪

Every job we do is bid for one day besides three zone or more mini-splits, sometimes those are a day too though. Only job more than a day is adding a lot of return ductwork, but that's often the one long ass day too.

Sometimes the supply house doesn't have an exact size in stock so you can get a different size and then install the optional "pistons" to make it work.

​@@anonymousbaros4424as long as it's no greater or less than half a ton difference.

If you dont know then dont try...!! not trying to be offensive but this is a trade people go to school for and have to pass to be certified to do such a job... this job is not a diy job and he should tell you only professionally trained and qualified people should be doing this trade.... some of these videos give off an i can do this job view but im telling you by someone that does this every day that it is not, these are just slightly informative videos with alot left out and alot more to learn....

@@esbonwordenjr6069 I agree it's super complicated for the average joe, and prob most people who think they can do it actually can't. But there is a few trained in other fields that could do this fine. But even if they could handle it, they don't do it enough and have the experience to prob be as proficient as you or those in your trade.

Thank you for the responses. I think my question was more simple. Can a condenser unit, say a 2 ton, use either a 2 ton evap with an expansion valve or evaporator with fixed orifice. In other words, Can a condensor unit accommodate both coil types depending on the application. Thank you

Yes all a fixed orfice or txv does is create the pressure drop and make the liquid to start the phase change.... all they do is make the liquid turn into a vapor like when u put your thumb over the end of a hose and you get the mist from it.... a vapor/ mist state is the best form to pull heat out that is why over charged system dont work cuz not only do u flood your compressor but u flood your evap coil with liquid instead of vapor and in liquid form you cant extract heat..... but yes you need a pressure drop of somesort weather it be an orfice or txv.... you can take a txv out and replace with an orfice or vise versa unless u have an exv which is controlled by a circuit board and sensors because you may have a modulating unit so the superheat will always be modulating according to temp and pressure
