This was MUCH harder than I expected... DIY Air Conditioning Pt 1

Home air conditioning installations are EXPENSIVE. So I'm doing mine myself...

[Kupacolypse]

Linus: How much do I pay you for this?
Brian: $1000
Linus: How much if I help?
Brian:$1500

[danieljensen]

Riley's theme song for Brian may be my favorite thing to ever come out of Linus Media Group

[TheDAITrickster]

i need a Brian the electrician show o-o

[ijunejo]

A petition to hire the “Brian the Electrician” full time..

[dragonmaster]

Brian the Electrician is my favorite reoccurring character on the show.

[ScytheNoire]

Glad to see Linus had adult supervision.

[PCarDriver]

Brian is what a man sounds like when he is competent, enjoys his life, and has a clean conscience.

[dustinripley]

Linus: "So you can put the caulk in there."
Brian: yes Linus"
Actually Brian: *I'm charging more if he keeps this up.*

[kaapporaivio]

Brian The Electrician is my favorite character in the Linus Cinematic Universe.

[mateogrundseth]

At this point Brian is no longer just the electrician, he’s more like Brian the whatever Linus needs handyman

[LaskyLabs]

Someone just needs to follow Brian around with a camera crew and we can just watch him do his day to day stuff.
I'd watch a show with him doing refrigeration and electrician stuff.

[zeromega]

Brian is one of my favorite people. He’s a great electrician, a huge old-school PC nerd, really nice and is so good at babysitting Linus

[gamesandstuff]

Linus didn’t want to pay an electrician for his air conditioning so he decided to pay an electrician for his air conditioning.

[fuse.]

I remember when Brian was the first time in a LTT video just to do sum electrical work and now hes a reoccurring character in the LTT universe

[UserName-ykom]

PLEASE! Do more projects!
These are always the funniest and interesting projects, while Brian adds his special sauce to the wild ride, which it always is!
Maybe some DIY smart home would be great 😏

[AKhan-]

I love how as the viewers of LTT gets older with changing needs, such as taking care of a home, the videos still stay relevant.



But Linus' puns never change or get old haha.

[zaiikgo]

Linus is like the 8 year old holding the screws for his dad

As an HVAC installer it's always interesting to watch these types of video's. I know Brian is venturing into HVAC but just two things from the video.

1: This is something you should really fix! You do not, under any circumstances, want copper and galvanized metals touching. You get electrolysis! (which is rusting copper, and yes copper can rust) And on that note you really shouldn't have any part of your mini-split line set non insulated. This will not only lead to condensation anytime the unit it running (heat or cool mode), but will also negatively effect the efficiency of the unit. They are very sensitive!
2: The different sized ports on the condensing unit are for hooks ups to larger capacity head units (measured in btu)You may want to make sure each port ( A, B, C, D) can supply each head unit; and that there is a total btu the condenser is capable of handling, and attaching more than it's designed capacities (too many or too large of a head unit(s) can lead to many issues.)

And a tip for part two, make sure you do a good pressure test on the system (over 500 psi for at least 30 min) and pull a vacuum below 300 microns before you release your refrigerant! With that many orbital flares ones bound to flare improperly!

[TheBdogup]

Linus: “$20k for an AC unit??? Too much!”
Also Linus: “We put FOUR Quadros in this tower for the low, low price of just $20k!!”

[epkostaring]

I think most of Linus's success is because of his personality. Love the tech tips, but he comes across as such a nice guy, that it is just fun to keep watching him. Big fan.
