    Somebody can get a good deal on a used 3.5 ton condenser. lol, Glad you got that job. Some nice brazing as usual. Piece of cake. Nice job
  • @saveamerica24
    Imagine if every worker in the usa did a good job like curtis and took pride in their work and knew what they were doin.
  • @adamrspears1981
    Great job! Maybe a fire blanket over the grass to keep it from catching fire.
  • @TomLawson05
    Great effort Curtis getting the customer cooled down thanks I for the video
  • @garypoplin4599
    2:38 - I know HVAC techs don’t like shovels; but, sometimes we have to use one. Get under one corner with a shovel to make short work of that task. 2:53 - (or hand truck!)
  • Good job Curtis, the next time you do work there i hope they do a tidy up with the whipper Snipper before you arrive, some people are so untidy 😕 Au
  • Nice job Curtis if the square footage is under 1800 square feet a 3 ton is fine. But again whoever installed the old system should have checked for correct airflow. And made sure adaquete number of returns and supplies so heating and cooling is even. Anyway great job but honestly these mobile homes are more suited for the gree flex inverter type systems as they are more forgiving with tonege because they can ramp up and down. But for me personally I would rather have a, system be slightly oversized VS undersized. So my rule of thumb is for every 550 square feet or up to that means 1 ton anything up to 1200 square feet thats 2 ton anything up to 1750 square feet that's 3 ton vise versa none of that 2 and a half ton or 3.5 ton stuff because that leads to more complications and possibilities of mismatches. Anyway great work.

    That’s a lot to do and toss on your own. Take care of yourself. Thank you for sharing.
  • @MCRD115
    Some people just don't care about their Yard and the condition it looks dam shame.
  • Hey Curtis why didn’t you do it the other way around and change the evaporator?
  • Boa troca de condensadora e procedimentos de brasagem dos canos de cobre. Parabéns 🛠️🏠🇧🇷❄️
