You sir are amazing. Until I found your videos I thought I would be stuck paying 6 grand on a new system. As if this past weekend we have a new Goodman system in place and running great all for under 2k. And I did it all myself.
I can’t thank you enough. You rock!

[matej.m.rejsek]

Thanks for doing this. I can imagine you've had commenters say no one but a professional should attempt this, but there have to be tons of people like me who are detail-oriented, competent and comfortable w/AC and various types of instrumentation who just need someone to lay out the map for them, as you've done here.

I'm an AC tech and a DIY'er. I tell people all the time there is so much they can do to keep their system running so they don't have to call me out. People pay hundreds of dollars for a maintenance contract. Easy maintenance. Keep your filters clean. Flush the condensate drain out every few months before every summer disconnect power to the condenser and use low pressure water and rinse the coils. You'd be surprised how much just that will do. Just those few things will prevent a ton of problems. Like blow capacitors, systems tripping off high head pressure in the middle of summer on the hottest day. It also helps with the longevity of your unit. Keep DIYing to the safest of your abilities. Also, as my mentor told me. If it's already broke. You can't break it anymore. All you can do is fix it.

I watched your videos all 3 of them as I'm changing my unit myself. I have some knowledge on hvac but you gave me the rest of what I needed. I told one of my brothers in the congregation about you and he said he had worked at LDC with you. Small world. Thanks.

[kellythompson]

Thanks to your teaching I am saving almost $30, 000 by buying and installing both of my systems. THANKS TO YOU!!!

[snakeeyes]

Just received a $7, 000 estimate to install the condenser and furnace. I will more than likely do it myself. Thanks for sharing..

[m.montgomery]

This was the best installation video I have ever watched on youtube. There is no noisy music etc in background and clear hands-on explanation.
Thank you so much! Wish you were in my city.

[Shidpiz]

I’m a new installer and I’m realizing how cutthroat it can be working for a company that expects you to remember every single step the first time you’re shown, when you’re completely green. I’m glad there are videos like yours out here for me.

[Foxtrot]

Great job young man! Knowledge is power and it also saves consumers from overpaying. Keep up the great work.

[pabloayala]

i applaud you for making a simple step by step video for this, but as an hvac tech, it's always good to shut off the breaker that turns the ac off so you have a less chance of being shocked. just because you take out the disconnect doesn't mean the unit still won't have power because the thermostat could still be sending voltage to the contactor. it's good to check with a metere for voltage before touching any electrical

Bro, I have an existing standard HVAC unit that I am replacing with a 5-zone mini split system. I just followed your instruction in this video to remove the evaporator & it worked like a charm. I am not a trained HVAC tech nor have I done this before, but I can follow instructions & have some common sense. LOL Thank you!! I'll post a video of my HVAC adventure & reference your video.

[rafaelaguilar]

Man! You have no idea how much I appreciate you putting up this video. Thanks-a-lot!

[OlafLuetkehoelter]

Great how-to! I was going call someone to have the condenser disconnected, but from your video I learned how to use the compressor and that worked well. No discharge when I cut the lines.

[saddleman]

Your videos inspire me to replace my new system, worked like a charm. you're videos are an invaluable resource, thanks for helping us homeowners save money!

[gods]

Wow 🤯 you actually give away so much knowledge that's honest and helpful.
I can't express my gratitude for sharing your knowledge. God bless you young man 🙏❤️👍

[AK-ozew]

4:18 that man lol. This video deserves more likes, great info

[marcelodeveza]

Thank you for your channel. We live in south FL, and AC companies are plentiful, but with what I have seen, I can do all of what you are showing in this series of videos. Thank you for being one of the good guys. All the best from South Florida

[robertcarullo]

I learned a lot of ac, I own property for over 37 years, and have to tell you, I needed to learn, because A lot of HVAC are not good. I am getting my 608 EPA so this way I can get my own gas.

[TomLand-ql]

Worked as electrician and did commercial and residential HVAC in the mid 70s to early 80s. Then entered into the field of Law Enforcement. Now that I am retired and having a heat and air giving me problems. After checking replacement cost I am considering doing this myself. This I really enjoyed and was a great refresher . Thanks

[KieferMDonovan]

Man people like you I appreciate, taking the time to teach people and help people. I hate reading through comments and the pros just degrade people who diy stuff.
