Installing an Ameristar Heat Pump Package Unit | ONE MAN OPERATION!

Поделиться
HTML-код
  • Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2024
  • In this video I'll be showing how I replaced an old HVAC Heil heat pump with a new 14 SEER Ameristar heat pump package unit. I reused the existing concrete pad. I decided to replace the existing high voltage flexible sealtite with new EMT conduit (I think it turned out great!). Utilizing the three wheel dolly allows for easy transportation of equipment, making it possible for one person to complete the change out. Hope you enjoy the video!

    I’m truly inspired seeing you do this on you’re own. Been doing this for about 8 years now (24years old) and debating doing my own thing. That seems to be where the real money is at. Keep up the good work your installs are great.

      its been 5 years for me , ive tried climbing up the ladder from being a tech and installer and its truly better. it is a lot like he said , just by looking how to start it up is already hard enough but you will make a hella lot more and be glad you have come a long way

      It just depends on the drive. It takes alot of patience and working by yourself. I love it. I very seldom hire a helper. Really depends on the job.

    This install made me realize that there's definitely more to HVACR than there is to Electrical. (Which is obvious but seeing it all put together helps out so much!). I'm transitioning from the Electrical field to HVACR, and I can't wait!! This looks like more of a similarity to installing computers and stuff vs just running wires and making splices. Can't wait to learn it all!!!

    Beautiful job as always Zach. I would stay away from Ameristar. Your gonna have a hard time finding parts. Hey man I know it’s a package unit but still put you a SS1 float switch in the drain line. That’s the bad thing about package units if that drain stops up no one will ever know and it will soak the inside of that unit for god knows how long.

    Man that was a quality install. Duct cover looked great and I really like the metal conduit on the electrical. Honestly, I would have probably ran liquid-tight the whole way from the panel and strapped it to the wall but it looks so much better with that metal conduit. The attention to detail on your jobs is impressive and moving around heavy package units by yourself is also impressive. Keep up the good work. You earned a subscriber for sure.
