When you go back to install the dual fuel please put a different disconnect on. That is absolutely horrible. Especially when it was just the breaker. I just can’t let stuff like that slide on my conscience. I’m a little OCD tho too 😂 Love you Mike ❤️
Love you too. No homo.
@@PipeDoctor swear, no homo 😂
@PipeDoctor I agree. That new disconnect looked like caca in that space. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original disconnect. You could have saved yourself the work and from making it look like dog doodie by just swapping out the breaker.
Have you ever thought about hiring a semi retired guy as a helper who could run around to the supply houses for you to pick up things like breakers, filters or other material to help support the crews you have on service calls? You could also use them as an extra body when needed when you are doing full replacements.
You could pay this person less than a full blown tech but having them support your 3 or 4 crews each day would help make those crews more productive.
Just a thought.
@@El_Diablo_LI one of the brothers does that now for hom
You replaced the box vs just the breaker (which would have been cheaper too) and made it look like CRAP!
It’s called instant gratification. Maybe you’ll learn that one day - it brings the end user instant comfort. Instead you troll comment on RUclips like a Tuesday morning quarterback
@@PipeDoctor Instant gratification looks like CRAP. Sorry the truth hurts. Take some pride next time.
That’s why you gotta hover over people. That way they do it to your specs aka leaving the disconnect chassis.
He said he did not have the breaker on the truck so to get them cooling git was cheaper to replace the disconnect VS having to drive to buy breaker and drive back and install it. His time cost more than the parts. I keep breakers on the truck but I've had to do exactly what he did and replace the disconnect before as well.
Good idea to keep some white PVC board on the truck that can be cut to size in this case as a backer board for the disconnect 👍
Great fucking idea 💡
yep, that and some silicone caulking will make it look all pretty and purposefully "pad/block mounted".
You should think about wrapping those line set with vinyl to protect them from sunlight
Why? UV rated
@@PipeDoctor yes they are helps them deteriorating and protects them from birds and sunlight
Regarding the filler for the disconnect box, stock some azek board, rip it down with your cordless circular saw, looks like money when done . Stuff is made for the outdoors
Another great idea
Not original idea. Just use house wrap and spray paint it white.
Pipe Doctor POV: create a problem by replacing a perfectly function disconnect box with an undersized one and they criticize the homeowner not to be cheap and spend extra money when doing siding.
Exactly. Appreciate the engagement. Helped this video rank #1 on my channel
really, the siding company either ripped them off or they were too cheap to have siding blocks/pads placed, which generally requires a licensed electrician to disconnect and reconnect everything, including the meter and meter box, which now may involve utility company doing a disconnect and reconnect(depending on the local code and utility company).
that could mean hours to days without power, a/c and whatever else is outside. technically if there phone/cable/fiber services, they should all be called to move their own equipment too, yeah rarely ever happens and the siding guys just butcher and hack job around everything.
Are you keeping the same condenser and just replacing the line set and inside equipment or is it all getting replaced
Same outdoor unit. New everything else.
Disconnects seem like a Failure point more often than Not. Do most Disconnects use a particular Breaker Brand ? If Not, then Replacing Disconnect is the Choice. 🤔👍
Rarely see disconnect breakers
❤❤ great trouble shooting!!! Hay Boss? Have you used any 454B R410a replacement yet? I’m curious as how good it’s gonna actually work.😊
No, we only use 410 and 22
What u gonna do with that existing Bosch condenser when u doing the change out. Or u just doing lienset and air handler
Keep it.
@@PipeDoctor a year old. Y not
Holy Crap 5? Maybe 3 on a good day. Im in SoCal and run up to 6 maybe 9 in the summer. Where do i sign up lol
Yeah, I would like to just do two or three service calls a day and I would like that to be my whole team as well but we need more people on our team
I love to work for you as a residential installer if I lived in New York, but I’m all the way in Seattle sorry but I love to meet you sometime. If you’re in the area I’ll take you out to dinner. At the best Chinese restaurant in town.😊
I wish too
@@PipeDoctor like I said if you ever in Seattle let me know somehow and I will take you out to dinner. It’s a promise.
@@PipeDoctor Wow. I'm thinking Tom might want to take you to the Chinese massage parlor afterwards as well.
@@joshuaseaton7002 I think Tom would skip the parlor and message him in back of the truck.
Is it uncommon for the Bosch, which is the Rolls Royce of units, to be a constant leaker? 7.5 lbs is a squirter not just a leaker.
the Bosch isn't the leaker here silly.
@@PipeDoctor woops, sorry pipes. I guess I’m just too ready for Shabbos..good Shabbos bro
Makes the New Yorkers cool again Mikey Pipes. Make the trades great again too. #LoveBosch Smash that Like and Subscribe folks.
Love you. #NoHomo
What year was that bosch again 7 lbs jeez leaking pretty bad huh
Last year
The Bosch furnace needs to have 1/2”-3/4” pitch to the front of the furnace fyi
Oh really now?
@@PipeDoctor ya got a error, and looked up in the paperwork and on condensing furnaces they say 1/2-3/4” pitch forward on vertical as well as horizontal install. Which sounds insane to me that’s one thing I hate about there furnaces they are good otherwise. I like the clear collector box that’s neat.
What the hell man..... Go get a freaking breaker.....
Are you paying for my time to get a breaker? Do I look like like a fucking Electrician to you?
Should have just replaced the breaker and sold them an evap coil with TXV.
thanks for sharing
I'm an old fan of yours. I watched your videos when I was in China. Now that I'm in New York, can I be your assistant? I work in maintenance in China, but I don't know how to repair air conditioners. I know how to install and repair many things. Otherwise, I wouldn't be your fan. I am Chinese. I think it would be very interesting if it could appear in your video.
That wood is going to rot out pretty quickly.
If you say so
@@PipeDoctor the wood is exposed to the elements. Water and wood , are not the best of bedfellows.
That’s legit hardwood
Facts
I thought the same
Blueridge?? What kind of chinasium crap is that ??
It's the magical land of chinasium! 😂
That’s why you should have just changed the circuit breaker. Rather than leaving that unsitely open around that little disconnect
Oh so I leave the property for I don’t know 20 minute drive to this big box store 1015 minutes and the big box door drive back 20 minutes to the location and then install the part and who’s paying for that the time yeah OK are you paying for it? No, I didn’t think so.
@@PipeDoctor it will cost more to repair that unsightly situation with the siding than your extra two hours labor.
I thought Bosch were good units.
They are
