How to Install DIY HVAC Plenums (and Save $$$)
In this video, produced by Steve Nagy and Chris Cherry, viewers will learn how to construct supply and return plenums using a plenum kit. Opting for a kit simplifies the process compared to purchasing sheet duct board and assembling it, which often requires specialized tools and experience. These kits include all necessary components for assembly, and we recommend using 1.5” plenums for enhanced efficiency. An increasing number of companies offer custom options, requiring only the dimensions of the air handler.
It is important to understand the distinction between supply and return plenums, as they may vary in size. The supply plenum connects to the top of the air handler, allowing heated ...

    You need to be aware that both R32 or R290 are and can be INTERNALY be EXPLOSIVE (ignition temperature of lubricating oil at the compression cycle) in the presence of air or water. This will not happen if A1 class (like R410A or R513A, R134a etc) . By the way did you know the only reason A1 class (CFC 22, 12, HFC22, HFC410A etc) was SAFETY and since 1928.

  • @neilafram663
    @neilafram663 6 дней назад

    Why use either if flammable/explosive when there are over 90 A1 class NON-FLAMMABLE, NON-EXPLOSIVE? and they are more efficient no extra safety...... Also there are no laws or regulations will ban A1 class. You test is a testament to its dangers!!!

    I live in Florida. I built my home in 2005 with 2 Lennox systems. They have been very reliable although we had to have it maintained. Well 19 years later, we are calling HVAC repairman and all are saying they no longer can get the "Freon". Some say its not worth paying $500 for Freon, as it is an older system and that we should replace it. We have had 3 estimates but they are all run somewhere about $17,000 for the two units. I have a two story house. I can not afford, the higher end Lennox, Traine, Carrier but one company is bidding $14,000 if we pay cash and they only offer Goodman. Do you recommend Goodman. Thank you.

      Buy the budget brands (the machines are more or less the same, all major HVAC equipment factories are in China anyway) like Mr Cool, Senville, Gree or Midea if you can find them in the states. Find a HVAC technician who will work with you to install a self purchased machine. I went that route after getting insane quotes or north of $20K for traditionally all inclusive package HVAC installs. And I end up spending only $7k for a top of line 3Ton hyper heat heat pump with variable air handler and inverter condenser that can generate proper heat down to 0F. The mainstream HVAC contractors in the US are a scam IMO.

    • @NotTubeIm
      @NotTubeIm Месяц назад

      BTW Goodman is fine for a traditional single stage or 2-stage AC, which is ancient technology at this point. The whole Asian has moved on to more efficient variable speed inverter based AC systems for over a decade but apparently it's a "new" thing in America.

    My Parents had a 1976 Carrier round one Heat pump installed and never had one problem with it save for it needed cleaning on the outside. We replaced in 2008 with a American standard 20 seer 5 ton heat pump with twin reciprocating compressors in it. A 5 ton compressor and a 2.5 ton I think. The carrier was more reliable but the American standard has been very good. The inside coils had to be replaced in 2014 but they paid for it all and after that no problems. It runs always just about very rarely using the 5 ton compressor. I don't trust Trane/American standard anymore. They used to make there own compressors and there reciprocating compressors were bullet proof that why there prices were higher. Well I had to replace a Trane 14 seer compressor not long ago on my rental unit I own. It was a L.G. that was pulled out of it. I was mad as hell cause I was told that's why are prices are higher cause we make our own. Which was a lie . I confronted him about it and produced my recording of him telling me that, which I always do with contractors. My three year old Gibson heat pump fried itself and not worth repairing. I installed a Ruud 15 seer heat pump in my house(8900$). Well it sucks bad. They don't have a accumulator for a heat pump and no compressor belly band heater . Its very weak on heat and LOUD as hell.. I bought me a dirt cheap 18,000 btu Mini split heat pump for 700 bucks and installed it myself. My house has a open floor plan this mini split cools and heats my whole place just fine. It got 2 below zero here last winter this mini split keep the house at 69 F no problem.My power bill dropped 40 bucks a month this system is a 23 seer and is silent. NO more large systems that are loud and break and even if this mini only last three year at 800 bucks to replace the whole thing is a no brainier. I did it myself and took me about 7 hours . The heating and air guy wanted 5000 bucks to do it. Which I laughed at him , I understand making a profit but that was a ripoff .

    The whole flammability concern is absurd. Many houses have a natural gas meter near the compressor, but I guess the EPA never noticed those. I installed a 1.5 ton Della mini-split SEER 22 last Spring which came charged with R32. Made by Medea, like most Chinese brands. I bought to better use my solar energy, just heating and cooling the living areas, but the little guy cooled my whole 2200 ft2 house this summer, even on 110 F days. Good since my central AC died right after I got it running.

  • @BleedingEdgeHVACR
    @BleedingEdgeHVACR 2 месяца назад

    The HVAC industry wasn’t ready for A2Ls when it launched outside the US, and it still isn’t ready today, the only circumstance when the refrigerants flammability is an issue is when techs aren’t using key best practices when brazing including; recovering into a vacuum, purging with nitrogen after recovering, CUTTING OUT ALL COMPONENTS NOT SWEATING OUT and flowing nitrogen when actively brazing. The problem is 99% of Techs aren’t doing these practices, which is going to result in igniting the refrigerant when brazing under some circumstances. Otherwise A2L refrigerants like R32 and R454B are fine.

    • @Hoppa12345
      @Hoppa12345 Месяц назад

      You should always use nitrogen when brazing to make sure you are having a clean atmosphere inside the pipes... Secondly oil also can be burned. Everyone forgets that. Its not very flammable but when brazing you will have this issue too. Always vacuum before working on these machines. break vacuum with nitrogen and then open the machine.
