Dirty flame sensor on Super Bowl Sunday 🙃 Love that you’re installing some Rheem stuff for people who don’t go for Bosch. I think Rheem/Ruud might be the best bet for modern day basic equipment. We’ve been installing their new platform stuff since late 2015, only had a handful of warranty evaporator coils/Txv’s. Little to nothing on condensers/compressors.
Mikey I put Ruuds in almost everyday for the past 7 years at the company I work for since we’re a Ruud pro dealer. Have probably installed over 500 by now lol and we always put those metal sheet metal plates on the bottom of the furnace and then screw and tin tape it and then put a piece of “s” clete at the back edge since the manual wants 1/4”-1/2” slope for the heat exchanger to drain effectively. I do however like your foam tape idea I’ve never seen that and now I am going to try it since if we ever have to replace anything the silicone isn’t a nightmare to try and break free! Nice works boys
call before you dig. BAH! we did a large self supported roof over a deck and walkway to a car port. put in 13 posts and never hit anything, but tree roots and the top of a concrete sewage vault(lol) it was a mobile home park. the park maintenance guy stopped and talked ot us, saying he couldn't believe we didn't hit anything. 🤣 I looked at surrounding trailer and a few vacant sites to see how all the lines ran, so observancy and skill was key! it was for a veteran and made the news paper there. lol, I was sweating bullets a bit.
Hey Mike, I recommend you looking into getting yourself a solar generator to provide power to any of the power equipment that you need 120 V. I use an EcoFlow Delta 2 Max and I can get an entire day of operating my calibration validation equipment. I’ve even used it for my recovery machine and vacuum pump. I don’t need to use extension cords anymore. The best part of the solar generator it can charge in your work van just off of the 12 V cigarette outlet, charges by solar or by a wall outlet and it charges very quickly. I usually put it back in my work vehicle at the end of the day. On my travel time home it usually is able to top off the charge and it usually is ready to go the next day but sometimes it will take travel time to the first service call the next day to charge it to full. It’s one of the best investments that I’ve made.
Install looks great. The only thing I would do different is install the Knight IPG after the furnace in the supply plenum not in the return. Pretty sure the install instructions say to install it after the furnace or air handler. That goes for any air purifier system.
Mikeypipes. There is a tab on the case coil that you bend up so your sheet metal can rest against 3/8 inch tab you up 90°. And also just an FYI I always do your end piece further away piece first it’s easier to work with.
The best Rheem / Ruud is a broken one. Heck any brand that's broken works for me. *They all break* well except for Bosch so far since 2019 for me, knock on solid USA wood.
Love the grill on return drop because house don’t have enough return. That what we do when we need airflow due to high static pressure. 98 percent of houses ductwork undersized. Most guys just change equipment not fix duct problems
@@slip0n0fall I always fix ductwork and add returns needed. Was saying 99 percent of these companies only want to change equipment only. I own my own business. I do a lot of ductwork jobs install and fabricate
Mikey my utility company psnh suffered the same thing the debt they carried with delays and other long term costs associated with the seabrook nuclear station forced them into bankruptcy but the plant did and still is active
Mikey pipes. You should pick up a couple of Milwaukee 6.0AH Battery’s you will notice a massive difference especially for any type of cutting tool bandsaw, sawzall, grinder, multitool. If i had to guess 17 years ago four hour minimum. Labor only $485.00
Mikey, I normally put 2 elbows on the fresh air intake so it’s pulling from down so that mice or anything can drop into the Burner box. Also with the return air being literally right beside the air intake will that cause any issues of it pulling too close to the air intake?
Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. That Rheem Rudd makes some pretty good equipment, the service valves have about a 1% to 2% leak factor. But again, three way position service valves, cost,cost,cost.
Where my ingot you promised me? With the Mikey pipes stamp of approval I sent you an email last week. Nice job fellas!! Total amount $195+tax for that call! I cheated sorry
No, ECM is more tolerant to higher ESP (at the expensive of blower longevity), however ECM doesn't imply variable/multi-stage capacity, which is what would help in an oversized situation.
Mikey should you be on the Southern State? Lol Syosset is where we live, good stiff watching you. Should mention Brookhaven has a nuclear reactor and lot of people dont reqlize that.
Secret Rheem 92 and 95 are same unit with different model number. One got rated for 92 percent other 95 same everything. 200 cheaper for 92 for same unit
Hey Mike. Watch my video on how to make a field pittsburgh and you won't have to screw those pieces together. If you have a basic brake you can do it in the same amount of time!!
Grip the bottle top with the ring finger hook the bottom end and the bottle top with the bottom end of your ring finger then push up and top should come off. Don't do it with a gold band it will get destroyed
You talked about not installing many heat pumps, but you installed a bunch of Bosch units all the time and they are heat pumps. Why not use the snow legs to keep it above the snow level like you use on the Bosch units? Many heat pump split systems have two TXV's (Bosch uses EEV's) because they aren't bi-directional. The one on the indoor coil is for AC and the one in the outdoor unit is for heat pump mode. Dual-fuel systems are all my company sells here in the Denver Metro. The heat from the furnace and cost of NG is much better, but we do sell the Bosch SEER2 20 for the CCHP rebates making it a less expensive solution. They have a decent COP down pretty low, but people prefer the heat of the furnace when it is really cold, so 25-40 degrees is a decent setpoint for a unit like that. I am not sure what that area pays per therm vs kWh. Be interesting to see the COP on the Rheem/Ruud systems are. Did you do a combustion analysis on the furnace off camera to dial it in?
just a thought mr pipes why not take the bottom and the to and build out the bottom of unit so u can have little bit better air flow into the house of furnace looked like in that furnace room u had the room but u do u man looks good
@@PipeDoctor for example if the bottom of ur furnace is 27 inch depth and 17 1/2 left to right make a 6 inch tall box cut out the hole for the bottom of ur furnace on it and then u can cut out a bigger hole on the side of the furnace basically ur taking to side in that case u we’re right side and bottom and u would gain more of a opening for ur filter I hope I explained that good better with pics
Never saw someone use a grinder to cut return hole. Get some electric shears they , nice, smooth, fast and clean. If want cheaper option got the one that goes on drill . About $75 great investment . And Rudd heat pump dont need a lifted pad ?
Not meant to be a critic, but as a sheetmetal fabricator I would wrap it in bubble wrap too! If you are going to toot your own horn at least fab it properly. 45 year of fabricating and I see stuff like that and all I can say is hack job!
Mike I am looking for a Rheem or something else. I only want A/C. Can you put me in the right direction on what is good. More I read into different systems the I don’t know what to think. Thanks Jeff from pa.
Grinders are for guys who don’t use there offset. Hammer screw driver make hole then cut. Why have metal flying every way. Your second guy using grinder Steve the first with Molly. Lol
Hey Mikey,of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. You been hanging out with sleepy time Joe Biden and the montreal protoncol and non virgin R-22 at $1000 per 30 pounds, or Donald Trump with non virgin R-22 at $100 per 30 pounds?. But there is a lot of politics in this industry. Love you buddy, you be safe out there. Come on Mikey 3 10 to Yuma again,lol.

Hey Mikey Pipes...probably the last to c9mment ima paraplegic wanted the thermal but not sure to late..love ur channel..keep it up

We used the air scrubber you ever hear of that thing? It’s a UV light that also kills airborne viruses. Pretty cool stuff
I have to say not using slip and drive on the plenum came out nice. I was taught using slip and drive
Thanks for sharing

Knock on it baby
Hey Im a fan of the Rheem/Rudd.
I think that service call was $475
Nice tutorial
Air night needs to be in the supply, so that anything as far as particles or anything get picked up by that media filter you installed
Mikey pipes, you need to hire a tinner lmao. But I like the foam tape!
Lots of TXV's in the ODU's here in the South. Especially in York, and Trane.
Love the grill on return drop because house don’t have enough return. That what we do when we need airflow due to high static pressure. 98 percent of houses ductwork undersized. Most guys just change equipment not fix duct problems
Apparently you aren't fixing the duct problems either.

Services call 17 years ago super bowl Sunday. $150 plus repairs maybe about $265 if was something easy. 350 if needed ignitor
Why so "high" of a temp on the change over for the HP? Also, no HP stand? Did a fire up test on furnace/combustion test?
165 my guess . 🤙🏼 watching from the 808 state !

The world is upside down. Steve installing Bosch and Mikey with the theme/ruud.

Can you oversize the new units now that they have ecm?
No, ECM is more tolerant to higher ESP (at the expensive of blower longevity), however ECM doesn't imply variable/multi-stage capacity, which is what would help in an oversized situation.
Do those rheem/ruud zone well?
Mikey should you be on the Southern State? Lol
Syosset is where we live, good stiff watching you.
Should mention Brookhaven has a nuclear reactor and lot of people dont reqlize that.
Recovery complete as you hear hissing in the back ground because the recovery tank is too full so lets just dump the charge.
They are now talking about re-commissioning 3 mile island
No cap on 4 inch b vent. No tee on drain on furnace. Read the installation book. Lol
Secret Rheem 92 and 95 are same unit with different model number. One got rated for 92 percent other 95 same everything. 200 cheaper for 92 for same unit
Hey Mike. Watch my video on how to make a field pittsburgh and you won't have to screw those pieces together. If you have a basic brake you can do it in the same amount of time!!
Is the TXV on the outdoor unit required because it’s not a variable speed compressor?
Maybe?
@@PipeDoctor TXV outdoor, because of heat pump mode.
A dual fuel heat pump is the way to go. Saves a of electricity
You can pop open any bottle with a wedding ring also. Best to have a tunston ring😂😂
Grip the bottle top with the ring finger hook the bottom end and the bottle top with the bottom end of your ring finger then push up and top should come off. Don't do it with a gold band it will get destroyed
I don’t know what it is but when I pop any bottle with a metal cap 1 it makes a loud Pop sound and then sky rocket 🚀 up wards 🍻
75.00 for the call. Ran a hvac business for38 yrs. I like looking at ur company work.
Gg Tom!! Enjoyed it bruh

When your guys finish installs early do they get to go home with the full days pay??
Shit I wish , naw you got a service call for waiting if finished early 😅
just a thought mr pipes why not take the bottom and the to and build out the bottom of unit so u can have little bit better air flow into the house of furnace looked like in that furnace room u had the room but u do u man looks good
Build out the bottom and bring in more air? After the filter rack? I’m confused. Sorry. Please explain
@@PipeDoctor for example if the bottom of ur furnace is 27 inch depth and 17 1/2 left to right make a 6 inch tall box cut out the hole for the bottom of ur furnace on it and then u can cut out a bigger hole on the side of the furnace basically ur taking to side in that case u we’re right side and bottom and u would gain more of a opening for ur filter I hope I explained that good better with pics
Get on the Reme Halo No Ozone LEDs Mikey.
Oh yeah?

Why would it need an elevated pad for the heat pump condenser when we have a gas fired furnace with a change over temp of 40 degrees
The return grill within 10’ of the draft hood water heater is screaming at me to be removed
Thermal coupler $885. Its a New York special
The dryer vent exhaust blows direct on the condensing unit...
Nope. It don’t. We measured. Not a concern.
Not meant to be a critic, but as a sheetmetal fabricator I would wrap it in bubble wrap too! If you are going to toot your own horn at least fab it properly. 45 year of fabricating and I see stuff like that and all I can say is hack job!
Thank god for bubble wrap so the customer does not see the hackery
Superbowl Sunday probably had an extra special fee. 745
no clean outs on drains??? thats wild
you think?
Mike I am looking for a Rheem or something else. I only want A/C. Can you put me in the right direction on what is good. More I read into different systems the I don’t know what to think. Thanks Jeff from pa.
Rheem is great equipment for the money. All I put in is Rheem
So you have airhandler and straight ac or gas or oil with coil and ac
That’s a weathering with Rheem badge. Was not classic series ac
Straight A/C
@@kennethbubser9601 straight ac
And am also know the plumbing work
Superbowl Sunday,.im saying 450
Lets go with 375
Hello sir. I am from India. But now i am in Dubai as a ac technician. I want to work with you. It is possible
Mikey pipes you're an awesome boss.....
585$. Super Bowl Sunday and 1hour drive.
grinder with cutoff wheel, OK but not great. I prefer a cordless metal circular saw(carbide toothed blade), just plunge cut for the starts.
Grinders are for guys who don’t use there offset. Hammer screw driver make hole then cut. Why have metal flying every way. Your second guy using grinder Steve the first with Molly. Lol
No kidding, all that metal dust down into the ECM 🙄
149.95 is my guess. Inflation got me fucked up! 😂
Battery's in the thermostat
Yeah?
Thermocouple?
$400
I would say $69.95 was the service call
Nope
I think that service call was $650
Maybe whatever the score of the game was at the time😂😂
I would say $250
Dirty flame sensor
$235 for the win
heh, bending hard gas line is not allowed by code in many places.
Yeah, I’m not familiar with the code on that. How to have to look it up, but it’s just dumb.
No pump up legs
Condensate trap
160 us
Back then, $195
Thermocouple, $469
Super Bowl Sunday Emergency Visit $400 + $210 Diagnose = around $610
125 dollars
17 years ago... maybe 500
$250 on Super Bowl Sunday
Nope, it was $195
That’s a weathering unit with Rheem badge not a classic series that’s there builder grade ac
Isn't that unit a RP15AZ Endeavor Line Classic Plus Series iM Heat Pump?
