I installed a fully variable speed 23 seer heat pump air handler system in my own home from Blueridge (built by ACIQ hence the mother brand). $4500 which included all extra gas, special bending tools, the correct brazing equipment, gasses (nitrogen and refrigerant) all added parts, all the sheet metal and vent components. I educated myself on the entire process from calculation to completion. I have zero heating or cooling performance issues, no moisture issues, or overrunning issues, no rusting of the metallic ventilation or anything else. I saved $20, 000 by easily educating myself, even got permits and still maintain the warranty. Common spare parts are already on hand. I even got certified for the gasses I am using in that price tag. 2 years, no issues, but I am good if there are problems., won't cost me much.

I have Lennox heating/AC system, going on 20 years, never have had a problem. Of course, like any other expensive home repair or upgrade, I absolutely dread the time my system will need replacing - not only will it be 10 times the cost of my current system, but also with longevity not even close to what my system has had up to now.

Learned so much from this free video alone. I can only imagine how good the HVAC training videos are. Thanks so much!

Was able to walk in off the street and buy Durastar (Furgeson Plumbing’s Reem rebrand). Small gas furnace only, no AC for $900. The lowest quote we got here in Seattle to do the job was $8500. Thanks to your videos, I replaced it myself last summer!

I helped my brother choose a replacement 4 ton heat pump to replace a 4 ton R-22 based AC + propane furnace in the Houston area. Propane has become extremely expensive; they are in a rural area without natural gas available. Heat pump is a great solution for them. We got the system online - then spent MONTHS trying to find a company in the Houston area that would install it. No takers. I had a friend in the DFW area (4 hour drive away) who is an independent HVAC contractor come down to do the install; had to pay for his gas, hotel, meals and travel expenses. Just be aware - it can be very difficult to find an installer.

Both of my AC units are Trane and I've very pleased with them. Yes, they were expensive, but they are quiet and very efficient. I live in central Florida, so they get a workout. Trane won't allow installers unless they approve them, which goes a long way to ensuring they are installed properly and reliably.

About 4 years ago, my small HVAC Contractor replaced my existing 2 Goodman units. 2 new Goodman units. We put a package unit downstairs and a split 96% gas furnace with 16 seer AC. We increased the upstairs unit by a ton. All for $11, 500. After it was installed, I decided to create a network with 3 zones. It was a fun project! I am saving tons with energy efficient units. We are empty nesters and it is great cranking up the AC. Our first set of Goodmans could have lasted another 3 years. I had them for 22 years. I had the money and decided to do under my terms. My son is in HVAC in another state and he talks about units lasting 10-12 years.

The best thing to do is purchase a case of each filter size you use and set your phone to remind you every 90 days to change the filters. Wash the coils at the compressor with some dawn and a pump sprayer let it soak and was it gently. Before washing vacuum the leaves inside the compressor.. I totally agree dust is a killer of HVAC units. I also agree a good installer makes a huge difference! Especially the line sets. We use the existing one because it never leaked. One last thing, if you get it repaired stand and watch the tech. Some of these guys are thieves. If the tech wants you to see the salesman run! It’s a scam!

I already have the basic knowledge for repairing car AC. Recently bought a Goodman (Daikin made) mini split for the shop. Got new gauges for R410, adapter, flare tool, bender, micron gauge. Got everything connected and pulled vac for an hour, and we were in business. The information is out there and it’s free, thanks to great guys like these and their content.

Great advice Dave 👍🧡 Congrats on the launch of learning center! We are one of the few premier HVAC contractors willing to help DIYer in Dallas, TX and surrounding cities.

A few yrs ago the house I bought had just installed a complete system, believe me EVERYTHING was replaced & contractor did a good turn-key job. It cost the owner totally $15, 000. Having background in real estate ownership and maintenance, I can tell you that I could have saved about $7000 simply doing what this video recommends. I wholeheartedly recommend ANYONE who sees a need for new air conditionin to subscribe to this channel & learn the HVAC basics and hopefully more. Just like automotive knowledge and maintenance, a majority of our nation’s population knows virtually nothing about HVAC stuff. Knowledge is a powerful thing!

[craighill]

100% agree! a contractor you can trust, that has installed systems leak free and remain leak free for minimum of 5 years. I am in Memphis Tn and 25% of the work I do is fix the leaks that other contractors either create, leave in place or ignore. Its disturbing.

HVAC/R Tech for 30+ yrs. When my Homes system needed upgrading, I searched different sites and found some equipment that had been installed, however improperly sized and was removed by the same Contractor. I went and inspected this equipment and it was properly pumped down and care taken with the line and low voltage removal. Made the guy an offer, took it Home and installed it myself with new stand, line set, drainline, etc. Has been operating perfectly for the past 4-years. The brand...Lennox!

Luckily I have a good HVAC guy who genuinely cares to help people. I can tell you are the type who likes to help people as well. Thank you

[danashby]

We installed Goodman units in a school, one section of it for temporary service, ended up being in there several years, those units worked superbly! No maintenance except for filter changes! Goodman is an excellent product!

[Krazy_Shorts]

I bought a house back in 2016 that has a Williamson unit installed in 1988. This unit is now 36 years old, and I've done nothing but clean it and change filters every few months! They don't make em like they used to.

[jstar]

My neighbor is an AC guy, worked for Johnson Controls for years, he put a Payne unit in my house about 7 or 8 years ago now, I put a soft start on it and so far its been awesome. Hope it last at least another 10 years.
