I’ve DIY installed multiple central A/C and heat pump units and split systems with zero issues. I’m really tired of all the anti-DIY HVAC trade people who think what they do is rocket science. By their way of seeing things they better not try to change the oil on their car if they’re not a schooled factory certified auto technician as they will no doubt destroy the car and suffer severe burns from the hot oil. They just want to protect their often incredibly overpriced trade. Charging $7000 for one person spending half a day to install $1500 worth of hardware is just obscene yet commonplace in their trade.

This guy is brilliant! He has taught me so much. I should be paying him tuition. We are all so lucky to have him doing this for us.

Just very tedious detailed work. But anybody that took Shop class in high school she know how to sodder.

I have been in the HVAC industry for three years now and I started out with residential . I remember one of my jobs was for 20, 000 .. They were getting two new heat pumps installed in their house right … So before we started working the lead came to us with two dirty filters in his hands and said “yo look at this they only needed new filters “… My other coworkers was like “Damn we should just tell them and go home this not right “ .. My our lead looked at both of us and said “Let’s get to work “ … Smh .. And that was just my first experience with how shady HVAC residential is, but wasn’t my last … Im am now a building engineer and love with I do and don’t feel bad going to work !

CrAzY you brazing water lines onto an high pressure AC OUTDOOR unit.😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[jtoddk]

You are a good, clean installer. But man, these are nowhere near a Trane system. These are the horrid “Ameristar” units made in China by Midea. Oxbox is the brand they sell to general distributors. If you want a Trane on a budget, get the newer Runtru brand. Those are made in the Trane factory in Texas. Literally a Trane XR14 in a cheaper cabinet, same spinfin coil and all. Anytime you see those tube and fin condenser Ameristars and Oxbox, know it’s just a generic Midea unit from China (P.S. seems like ameristar is also selling the Runtru XR14 based unit as their main product, while keeping the Midea 🗑️ on the low end.

As someone who works on the distribution side of the HVAC industry, just a heads up to all of the unlicensed DIY guys out there. Read the fine print of the warranty paperwork. They all pretty much state that if the unit is purchased through an online supplier, or installed by an unlicensed individual that the warranty is voided. I have received many calls in the past from homeowners who have a unit that failed, and tell me they need a warranty compressor, coil, TXV, ect... that want to cuss me out when I tell them they have no warranty because they didn't adhere to the manufacturer's specified guidelines. I'm not saying the DIY guys won't or can't do a good job, I'm just trying to let you know that when a problem arises, and eventually one will, that trying to save money in the beginning could cost you dearly in the end.

All Stores Please Lower the price of all Military and Local for all Brands of Central Heat & Air Products and Accessories and Production Cost Now That's too much $$ The Whole World Now 🙏🙏🙏

There are so many shady people in this industry ripping people off. Most of these so called professionals should be put out of business. Telling homeowners they need a whole new unit when a low cost replacement will do. Love the channel and educating us on how to do repairs on our own equipment. If these companies and the people that work for them were honest we would not need to try and learn it ourselves.

God bless young man for sharing your knowledge.

That’s not a Trane “rebranded” unit. It’s just made by the parent company that owns Trane. How do I know ? I work for Trane.

[konstantinlapin]

Great job! I installed 2 units (3 and 3.5 tons the same way, but with TXV) plus a 1 ton mini split (easier). I have Testo549 with Yellowjacket hoses, vacuum pump and CPS micron gauge, Appion valve core removal tools. Staybrite8 (high vibration, high pressure and refrigeration applications) was a great find for me for the second unit, sped up the process vs brazing with turbo torch.
The key is to invest in high quality professional tools/nitrogen tank (for me it was ~$400-500 overall) and then do it slowly. Warranty is not a concern, cause most of the time you will still need to pay for labor (90% of the cost) even if you’re under warranty, the equipment is cheap and available online anytime.

[Guillotines_For_Globalists]

For what reason did you upsize the indoor evaporator to a 2.5 ton while the outdoor condenser is a 2.0 ton?

[thomassprague]

First time EVER I saw someone remove a knockout with a pick axe! Great videos; keep-em coming!

[PorkGrinder]

I love what do. Sharing your knowledge in a way anyone interested in learning can follow you with ease! Again, thank you. I know it’s a lot more effort to complete a job like this and getting all on camera and it’s appreciated.

Hey, a great video with lots of good tips and a job well done. I'll offer a safety recommendation regarding high pressure cylinders. You should always turn your regulator back down to zero before opening the high pressure valve. If the low pressure diaphragm side fails, the high pressure can shoot that adjustment knob out at really high velocity. Just saying. 🙂

Hey men I’m new in the HVAC business and I want to thank you so much for everything that you have teaching us and again, I want to thank you for everything you have taught me.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL MY BROTHER

[gimaru]

That was golden:) thanks for showing the entire install!

[smith-mundtnews]

Don’t DIY brazing if you’ve never done it.

[mikeiver]

Well most of the HVAC system can be done by a tallanted DiY type. But there are parts better left to a proper HVAC contractor, those being the pressure test, vacuum down, and then charge the system properly.
