This week i had one of the tightest under house jobs ive ever had. It was just 5 drops with hard pipe but i wanted to cry. Gotta love New Orleans houses
I like the Bosch stuff as well. I install the Comfort Aire line. All made by the same parent company “Midea”. It sucks cause it’s Chinese, but it is a good product.
@@gadflyofhumanity_6847 that's a huge space compared to many I've been in. some a low profile car creeper is too high and your nose is hitting pipes and main beams, some times floor joists, have to lay flat and G.I. crawl. then climb overtop low pipes without breaking them. now you have to drag tools and materials in and out with. lol
That pad was definitely very nice. It's not often you see a nice setup like that that's easy to keep leaves, snow and other junk away from. That ground clip looks like something you'd see/use on a metal box, not a painted cabinet as you mentioned.
Mikey, I bought a similar one from Vevor, blue. I plugged in the power cord and the back of the chassis connector broke out. I opened the unit and wS able to plug it into the remainder of the connector to move on. My opinion is that even with the issue, it's still a good value. Watching the crawlspace video brings back bad memories. Very difficult conditions.
beautiful job again .. I'm would have had one of those boys shop vac that crawl space out before you had to lay down in there.. have a cold one you earned it
missed that, but yeah low loss fittings are bad all around, as well as going through gauges. probably wise to run a tee at the service port, hook gauge there and and plain hose to recovery machine then to tank. remove schrader valves too.
Where were you able to put the air filter, can’t believe they stuffed the unit in there like that, lol. Do you have to tilt the ahu like the Bosch furnace to drain the condensate? Like your videos.
Yeah, part one of this two day install was kind of ridiculous but tomorrow will be God willing much better and then we can finish out this project for the two Bosch systems for 2024 for this client
By the way, the EPA is planning too change that 5% factor on those cooling system, 100% leaks free, from the factory to the new install. again this will be good for business all around for every one.
Thanks for ruining my Sunday. Nice to see you in the trenches. So many shit installs this season. Have fun and be safe this season. Are you moving the second floor AHU to fit Bosch line set?
yeah, 10 minutes with a long hose shop vac and it's all nice and clean. who wants to crawl over debris, nails, staples, chunks of wood, dirt, probably glass and metal slivers from ducts.
That’s a good guess you know what I like this. I think you’re genuine in your answer and email me Mike at Mikey pipes.com and I will send you some free stickers.
I am very skeptical of Vevor. They’re literally making everything from landscape cloth, car lifts, now vacuum pumps 😂 vevor has been known as the cheap Chinese Amazon brand for several years.
You asked what we think, so don't get all but hurt....you charged the customer an arm and a leg, and you have a high-end system installed, but you're not going to change the entire line set when that old copper may be all corroded and ready to burst a leak in the next year or two....I don't know Mike. I think for the price, the customer deserves an entire complete system and that my friend includes a new line set.
Mikes grunts and groans sound like he’s giving birth. Rule number 1 Cover customers flooring and cardboard in the crawlspace lowest seniority has spider web clean out.
Hey Mikey, of Mikey Pipes Plumbing not easy being cheesy. I like your podcast/social media, looking thru some comments/reply?. When you were young, did you and your friends had eaten pizza at Chuck E Cheese. Or did you go out hunting with a man like Dick Chenney. Do you still have a back bone made of steel. If so, then you still might have some "Big Dick" Chenney qualities. Love you buddy, you be safe out there.

I would normally love to be a HVAC Tech, until I see videos like this.
Crawlspaces that size shouldn't be in code in my opinion.
I agree
@@gadflyofhumanity_6847walk in attics is the way to go! That should be the only way to go.

Wow hoarding all that refrigerant instead of giving back to the nature damn New Yorkers are a special breed.😂😂😂
lol
I commend you on getting into that crawl space most bosses would all sudden get a phone call and be heading the other way
Most that I have worked with
I’m always in the trenches with the team
Great work, Mike and team. Keep up the hustle
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement
Another fine job, well done by the 3 musketeers.
Mikey sounds like he's 9 months along and pushing out a baby in the crawlspace... 🤪🤪
Beautiful job! Tough one for sure! Mikey did a LOT of grunting! Ha
Tell me about it
That raised platform is magnificent.
I got a sweat I got I don’t want. I’d really start over OK?
That platform is tits.
Hi Mike been one year that we had are new air conditioner, heat pump kicks ass
nice, very nice install, great vid!
Thanks! 👍

Great idea
Your reaction to the tiny piece of cardboard you waited half a day for 😂
I know!!
Yo Dchvac, we are hungry!! I saw daniel yesterday while i was driving to my next service call. cant miss that fancy billboard driving around
I keep reminding him to post.
Way to go Mr. Mikey, getting all down and dirty with your employees.
Absolutely! I lead by example
Good job Mike and crew, It's like the Blair Witches Project in that crawl space, or Salem's Lot in the dungeon, Vampires and bats..........
Nice job on the install, looks like those panels on the condenser are the same size all around, you should swap them around so the logo is facing out.
Can't imagine why anyone would build a crawl space that low
It makes no sense. I totally agree.
Mike, the yellow hose with the low loss fitting you are using on the discharge of the reclaim machine, is slowing the recovery process.
Okay. Ty
Mike, I love your videos. Keep up the great work you and your crew do.
missed that, but yeah low loss fittings are bad all around, as well as going through gauges.
probably wise to run a tee at the service port, hook gauge there and and plain hose to recovery machine then to tank. remove schrader valves too.
Make the trades great again Mikey Pipes. #LoveBosch Smash that Like Button folks. Smash it for Daniel.
Mikey can you do a video on how to troubleshoot the Bosh condenser board please 🙏
Fight for the big money Mike
Did you use the same line set?
Great install. U should swap the panels on the condenser so the Bosch label is in the front.
No, I thought of that we’re gonna keep it factory
Mike is stalling by the van so he catch his breath
lol 😆
In houston attic had ac and heater, no access large enough gotta open ceiling.
What''s upwith the the furnace exhast going across the house?
Where were you able to put the air filter, can’t believe they stuffed the unit in there like that, lol. Do you have to tilt the ahu like the Bosch furnace to drain the condensate? Like your videos.
There’s a filter grill on the ceiling for the zone
Just waiting for the new cold climate units. I'm guessing spring of 2025. Meantime I've been installing 2 or 3 M20 and M18's a week. Life is good.
100% a yellow jacket knock off..but seems nice for the buck.but does it pay off to have in field or just sick with the better Field piece or NAVAC
😂😂😂 never question the boss 🤪🤪 toooo many years of experience ❤❤ and?? Copper clamps always look more sexy 👍
I never get a overheated issue with my phone
Yea I don't miss messing around in crawl spaces and attics. Lol
Yeah, tomorrow is the attic part two
Stay hydrated today fellas!
The original contractor that placed that unit must have said let's get it as far from the entry point as possible
Yup
I thought I had it had it bad just running network cable and water lines in a tight crawl space like that.
That is ridiculous.
Yeah, part one of this two day install was kind of ridiculous but tomorrow will be God willing much better and then we can finish out this project for the two Bosch systems for 2024 for this client
I wanna guess 88 micron. There is no way it’s under that.
Rule #1. NEVER bet the boss.😂
Oh, that’s a good rule, but we did not disconnect the water filter and it slid right in there
@@PipeDoctor I watch you daily Mikey, love the content and your way of thinking. God bless and good day sir 👍
42:43 , Noticed he is weighing the charge in with the Fieldpiece scales. Why not the Vevor scales? LMAO They suck.
Surely you can get those guys bluetooth mics so we can hear conversations and not just you Mike?
Hey Peter and Danilel of Mikey Pipes Plumbing, we back on VOX again or Baby VOX.
66 Microns was my guess. Not cheating. I use the JB mega Flow kit though. So that would probably be the measure for those hoses.
60 is my guess
not hating, but you guys covered the window, the origonal 3 had a gap for the window.
Who gives a flying fuck do you see the difference between the unit and the house? We have 2 1/2 feet there it’s good.
@@PipeDoctor I just mean if you are in the house looking out you don't see the AC unit
Not bad
I would say 140 Microns.
Good guess but not too close
Heck yess😎😎
Hi
That install was TITS!!!
That’s!!!

No
Now knock the bucket over so you can get all wet like I did today 😊, and was wondering why my legs were feeling wet!. Ugh is all I can say! Rrrr!
Damn, is the water there so bad and hard that you need 2 of those monsters of filters...
One’s a pre-filter
Vevor sent me that crap, Recovery machine is a good back up at best. The scales are the same as Elitech, same scale different sticker.
Vevor can work for DIY, but I would fire a pro using one. Some things okay, but not for a high priced pro.
The audio is like a ‘70’s porn flick in a filthy theater (so I’m told🤷♂️🤣)
Wow, you’re the only one who seems to complain about porn flicks in the 1970s
@@PipeDoctor 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nothing better that a nasty theater at night 👍👍
It's not a leak until you leave 😂
Ouch
I just noticed your watch cover. It’s pretty ironic that you use red and blue for heating and cooling.
Thanks for watching
Actually I think it looks pretty cool!
Is this your apprentice who is always late🤔
Get some new drop cloths. You bring a rug to wipe your feet, then whip out those stained drop cloths.
Relax, the drop cloths are clean. They go to the cleaners once a week that they wash machine place they’re clean.
Looks bad. Chuck in a truck quality. Not a high-end quality company justifying the $400 contactor type of calls,as you stated, the other day.
@@mikekolczynski5665 have you priced those drops? he could use new drops per job, charge the customer for them and leave them, if they want them. LOL
Savage. 😂😂
Mike I’m surprised you didn’t clean all the shit off the floor so you wouldn’t have to crawl through it
What do I look like a housekeeper?
@@PipeDoctor I am not being a troll it was just a suggestion.

Daniel doesn't look happy
Wehhh
Looked liked Mikey was going caving in that crawl space.
It wasn’t fun
Best Variable speed system is Trane XV, BOSCH BLOWS ASS.
It’s not cement, it’s concrete. Cement is an ingredient in concrete.
Thanks for the clarification. I always wanted to know the difference.
I hope that didn’t come off as rude, I was just saying… I love the content and have learned ALOT from watching yous guys!!!
