*Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom **Fastly.Cool** and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!*
Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ruclips.net/user/postUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!
This is the field I'm getting into. Just finished my first year of a two year program. Next fall I'll graduate with my Associates degree in applied science and certification in RAC. Most of the things they did in this video I understood what they were doing, but some of the things we haven't done yet. For instance we haven't covered central air or duct work at all. Pretty much we've only gone over the four basic components, how the system actually works\cools, electrical, charging, recovering, soldering, leak detection, and stuff like that. I feel like we haven't done enough hands on work though so hopefully once I graduate and start working I get a good mentor to show me the ropes.
hope less That's actually my goal. Both my parents own small businesses and will help me invest in myself when I'm ready. I plan to work under someone for a company to really learn what I need to know for a few years and then go out on my own.
College doesn't teach u hardly anything. I went to school, was a 2 year program. I went for 1 and got my certificate and 608 license. When out in the field it's a whole different beast. Been doing hvac since 2013. Best of luck bro. Either wanna do this trade or dont. Can't fake it
You guys are lucky installing in basements. I have to install theses in hot attics in the summer. Trane Comfort Specialist from Inland Empire and North County CA.
46 years in this business (And also a Trane dealer), and I can say it looks like you did a very good job. My two concerns would be that the service access at the heat pump should be away from the wall to make it easier to work on. The other is the mount to the wall. I would be ok with it if I knew the mounting bolts were attached to the walls studding and not just the brick- brick is not that strong. I may have provided two footholds on the lee side. I always install the 4-5" filter systems. When I return to do the yearly/annual maintenance, I bring the filter with me- the customer never has to mess with filters ever again.
Why some people leave the electric side facing to the wall? ... I always leave the electric side facing out for future repairs... More room make it easier
@@alyssatrujillocookingshow2853 ?.. taking out the fact that that flu looked like it did not have proper grade, the length looks fine, that is assuming it's a 100kbtu and altitude from 0-2000, taking all his 90s and 45s he has about 50' of length to work with. But that's assuming it's 100kbtu. If it's less then he has much for footage to work with.
but 100 screws makes me a better installer because i screw my ductwork on the bottom of all my jobs and then I pull my coil out and screw it down under there too ,, when im done with that I jump up and down on my 4 foot pipe wrench to make my gas pipe tight so no one can get it apart , then i do shit like pull the blower out of the air handler and screw it to the wall behind it with 3 inch screws so it doesn't fall over and last but not least I cut tabs in my furnace so when i put the coil on it I can crew those tabs into the coil box and i always make sure i do two in the back and cover it with tape and mastic then slide it into a closet and screw it to the wall and put the coil back in so it doesnt fall up , that makes me a good installer because when i install something it never needs to be replaced later on, because i used 100 screws !! LOl
Good job on installing the system that's how all business should be, prefesional and neat workmanship. Although I did see some issues no nitro flowing when brazing, when sleaving the suction line protect opening from powder entering copper. Also when touching any electrical circuits must bring up to code, like the disconnect I seen that you forgot to reidentify the line side of the disconnected to hot. Just giving my opinion. Other than that great job!
I somewhat enjoy commercial hvac because 90% of the time it's a packaged RTU on a roof out of the way of a customer. Looking good in this install guys, but may I recommend purging lines with nitrogen during brazing. Less call backs know what mean. Keep up the good work
There are a lot of things that I would have done differently but I will restrict my comments to the condenser install. First, I would have secured that slab to the bracket and then the unit to the slab. Second, I would have rotated it 90 degrees so that it would be serviceable. It looks clean all tight to the wall but someday, you'll need to change a contactor or capacitor.
Did they really just set a pad on top of wobbly brackets with no support and then set a heavy A/C unit on top of that? Wow... that is asking for trouble later on... if any of those brackets rust, bye bye unit. It won't survive a bump test either. Is that really standard? Every unit I see is always on the ground on a concrete slab or heavily supported with material that won't rust. They could of added some additional support under the unit to make it more stable.
looks like a nice install, I'm trying to get my foot n the door as a tech helper etc... I know it takes time practice makes u better you will alway's be learning in this field thing's keep changing never boring I drive OTR it's tiring i'm trying to get enough under my belt to switch career's!!! thank's for sharing good video and customer relation's!!!
I had a Bryant central air. When it went out my HVAC contractor talked me into an Amana system. He told me it had a lifetime warranty. About 8 years later the compressor when out. He told me no problem and brought me a brand new one, no charge. I called Amana which is made by Goodman air conditioner company here in Houston and ask them if they still give lifetime warranty on their units. They said anything with a 16 SEER rating and above. They said in the future if it goes out just let the HVAC company know and they will replace the unit FREE ! You can't beat a deal like that.
Amana Bought goodman and yes it is a good deal but not the best system you can buy , they also now are with Daikin and they make the Daikin fit system and that is the best system made today no other can do what that one can , i am happy to hear you are happy with your Amana , They went all out on that system so you made a good choice
From every service repair tech who comes after this, "fuck you" Service access is facing in a place a service tech would have to struggle to just even look at, not to mention no nitrogen flow, microngauge is needed. Air is probably in the system, smh. If you ask me, half assed job, this isn't A+.
Nice job. I only had one issue. I didn't like the condenser access panel facing the wall. Looks nice, but a pain in the ass to service or replace components.
i really like how the service panel is in a corner that will be fun to access ,way to think about your service guys installers ! cool jump w1 and 2 instead of selling a better stat or running wire
A lot of negative comments,I think the Nitrogen Purge of line sets is about the only negative comment I agree with but overall a very good clean job.From Louisiana been in a/ c trade for 45 plus yes and I think you guys did an overall good job.Listen if I was to critique everything on a job it would never end,so give the guys a break overall good job
Had to be editing. But how do you pull a real vacuum without removing the schraders, using a 1/2" hose and a micron gauge so you know when you're done?
I’m hoping the outside was the full start to finish and then when they went back in they showed it’s complete install. Surly they didn’t vacuum without coil hooked up but who knows!
I never once saw a recovery machine or recovery tank maybe this system is empty who knows was it explained in the video also there once all nitrogen mean used brazing or never saw a micron gauge hook up to the system yeah not the way you do it
Let's assume that they recovered the refrigerant properly so we don't have to worry about that. I agree. How did he know that he had pulled a proper vacuum? I do like how they changed the line set though. I assume they were going from R-22 to R-410A. Whenever possible, I would recommend changing the lineset.
On an existing system, I have an HVAC system upstairs where the liquid/vapor (insulated & copper) lines run through the attic coming through the drywall (high on wall) from A coil extending about 35-40 feet, free hanging angling downward for about the first 13 feet before following the roof line across to the eave and finally "sorta" attached (loosely) to the attic wall structure until it exits the exterior, back wall as low to the floor line as possible. It extends the back of the house 2 stories (really one since it comes outside right above the ceiling of the first floor). So, here's my question...I'm getting ready to semi-finish the attic where it crosses - right thru the middle of the room at about head/eye level. Can I raise the lines higher than the A coil to above my 8 1/2' ceiling line (a rise of approx 1' or 2' from current level) for about 6' (lying on top on the new ceiling) then it will drop down behind the added wall and follow its existing path outside? Basically, is there any potential problem with the initial increase in rise of the line closest to the unit/A coil? Thanks for the video and any help or suggestions.
Why no Nitrogen purge during Brazing? Didnt see a vacuum guage to assure 500 micron vacuum. The intake pipe is below the average snow fall. A-Plus, I think Not
most people don't do a nitrogen purge... and I've found its not necessary if you put pressure on the line before you put the Schrader valve back in after brazing... it'll blow everything right out anyways... just a preference I suppose...
Craig Weisman hey Craig u seem like u have good wits in this field how much should it cost for a new air conditioning system if u have all ducts and vents in home already?
Drain Traps are only required when City Code calls for it on a Positive Pressure system, all Negative Pressure systems require it for draining no matter if it has a Code or not.
the journeymen did a great job but his apprentices need work. the vents were done very sloppy with no supports every 4 foot and very sloppy with the glue. The sheet metal work was very nice and clean
This install would fail in a heart beat in Oklahoma... no secondary drip pan under the coil... no fall on the flue or fresh air for furnace... and don't get me started on why they fired up the a.c. on a day it's snowing... and I assume they charged the system on start up, so they'll be back in the spring to recover some of it...these guys are back jobs... I do a furnace, coil, line set, a.c., run a flue, and transition by myself in about 8 hours... and I have passed every inspection this last year...
#1leave all boxes on equipment till as close to install location this will help for less scratches.. #2 get help..less damage to property of customer..#3 miter duct of return to center up better new equipment to supply duct. #4 learn how to make a hand make Pittsburg seam so less air loss on supply transition. #5 do job right and install new brackets for outdoor unit. #6 install outdoor to access electrical panel better. #7 dont let these guys install at your house. I could go on and on and on of just this install..wow these guys give the rest of us a bad name!!!!!
Tranes are typically quieter and are a better brand. Newer Rheems have been having much evaporator coil leak issues, I've replaced 4 already in just 6 months of working for a new company. Tranes last longer, are quieter depending on the model you get, I'd suggest a TEM6 (TEM4's have X-13 motors, those things die within 4 years). You'd have to ask the technician or sales person about the unit, some TEM6 come with plastic blowers for a quiet runtime. They're a good brand, just installed a Trane in my home replacing an old Trane from '94. I'd recommend it.
Didn't see any purple primer used while gluing the 636. Not sure why you wouldn't replace the hot water tank with a power vent type. Looks like a bit of a hack job, this seems to be one of the shadiest trades out there. Not sure how big the house is but that AC looks massive, 3.5 tons?
It's actually a good idea if you are working in a dirty or muddy area. The shoe coverings usually have a non stick surface, and prevents dirt from getting into the groves of your boots. I have done this many times, one pair for outside, and one pair for inside.
Im having an A/C installed tomorrow. 2 ton, $2600. Florida. 2020. You have to shop around and be careful with these "companies" with vans wrapped in "cute" designs. They are crooks!
I'm not here to criticize I'm here to learn from other people my suggestion is why not run copper line and electrical on other side to make more accessible for Servicing
*Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom **Fastly.Cool** and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!*

That will be fine.

Very professional. Great work gentleman.
Hi,can you pls. How can I find out the seers in Trane unit thank you
How not to install 101
By default, the blower speed for the AC is set to high... Did you have to lower the blower speed for Air Conditioning?

intake has to be 12in above grade for Toronto area

i wanna know what happened with the Asian lady
She was little...
Lol
Yeah, whoops.
am i missing something here? where is the trap for condensation line, and as you brace copper ,nitrogen has to run through
You do not install trap in a positive pressure coil
There should be a trap, I've put ez traps on my installs. No issues so not sure where got ur info
Drain Traps are only required when City Code calls for it on a Positive Pressure system, all Negative Pressure systems require it for draining no matter if it has a Code or not.
No trap required when coil on supply side. But in a basement, I always put ez trap.
the journeymen did a great job but his apprentices need work. the vents were done very sloppy with no supports every 4 foot and very sloppy with the glue. The sheet metal work was very nice and clean
Yeah, his sheet metal work on site was on point
Isn't the too low for a place whete it's going to snow
This install would fail in a heart beat in Oklahoma... no secondary drip pan under the coil... no fall on the flue or fresh air for furnace... and don't get me started on why they fired up the a.c. on a day it's snowing... and I assume they charged the system on start up, so they'll be back in the spring to recover some of it...these guys are back jobs...

#1leave all boxes on equipment till as close to install location this will help for less scratches.. #2 get help..less damage to property of customer..#3 miter duct of return to center up better new equipment to supply duct. #4 learn how to make a hand make Pittsburg seam so less air loss on supply transition. #5 do job right and install new brackets for outdoor unit. #6 install outdoor to access electrical panel better. #7 dont let these guys install at your house. I could go on and on and on of just this install..wow these guys give the rest of us a bad name!!!!!
how much does it cost? I would like to do it to my new house?
almost that time of year again
Nice job..
Why paint caulk instead of silicome on sealing the intake and exhaust? That wont last long.
no nitrogen trickle during brazing,would not want this install in my house
How many systems can you understand per day?
only thing missing was the service outlet next to the A/C
hello friend do you know how to tell us something about working with the VRF system, how it works, companies, values etc, there in your region
lol, what a cake install. Have you guys in Canada ever do a install in Arizona! haha you would quit the biz!
wtf these hacks are from Canada. Well im embarrassed as shit. These dicks are not a representation of the trades in Canada lol at all
Phillip Donohue Arizona lol Try a install in jersey
It really was a cake install. 6 hours or less
Do you think they pulled the permit???
Nothing like taking 24 measurements to ensure you have a 16x25 filter rack... lol
What size AC unit is that its rather big. is it a 3.5 ton
a lot of the new higher SEER ones are larger because of the condenser
Lucky u not in an attic in the summer time with them hot ass shirts lol.
Where is your micron gauge?
Me and my partner would do that entire changeoutnin about 4-5 hours. Just the 2 of us. Perfect quality install.
I’m in Fort Lauderdale. Takes me 4 hours to change out system solo.
I'm thinking about getting a Trane. I have old Rheem r22 3 ton. Will Trane cool the house much better? Is it quieter?
Tranes are typically quieter and are a better brand. Newer Rheems have been having much evaporator coil leak issues, I've replaced 4 already in just 6 months of working for a new company. Tranes last longer, are quieter depending on the model you get, I'd suggest a TEM6 (TEM4's have X-13 motors, those things die within 4 years). You'd have to ask the technician or sales person about the unit, some TEM6 come with plastic blowers for a quiet runtime. They're a good brand, just installed a Trane in my home replacing an old Trane from '94. I'd recommend it.
Lennox is another good brand. I install this brand. Both are expensive
Rheem is such a joke. My company almost went out of business due to so many warranty calls.
The old furnace was better than the one that they replaced it with.
I really like to see the energy savings.
They did a good job
@ 9:11, nice "kayak."
👀
Didn't see any purple primer used while gluing the 636. Not sure why you wouldn't replace the hot water tank with a power vent type. Looks like a bit of a hack job, this seems to be one of the shadiest trades out there. Not sure how big the house is but that AC looks massive, 3.5 tons?
AC guy wearing his blue shoe covers outside,Duh
Its like those fast food idiots who wear their sandwhich gloves while handling money.
It's actually a good idea if you are working in a dirty or muddy area. The shoe coverings usually have a non stick surface, and prevents dirt from getting into the groves of your boots. I have done this many times, one pair for outside, and one pair for inside.
😆
AT&T guy did that and tracked a bunch of mud on my bedroom carpet. He would have been better off not wearing the covers at all.
Most cashiers wear gloves when handling money. Money is absolutely filthy. Think about what a bill goes through in a year.
Im having an A/C installed tomorrow. 2 ton, $2600. Florida. 2020. You have to shop around and be careful with these "companies" with vans wrapped in "cute" designs. They are crooks!
I'm not here to criticize I'm here to learn from other people my suggestion is why not run copper line and electrical on other side to make more accessible for Servicing
rough cost?
Great work. Thanks for sharing!
No one mentioned the fact that no Clean out tee, or trap was put on the drain. Hey, looks good from their house.
