Did You Know You Can Replace Your Own Air Conditioner? -SAVE THOUSANDS-

You reused the old lineset, R22 oil is not compatible with R410a oil. You should have replaced the lineset or at minimum used a RX11 flush kit to clean the old lineset before reuse... you'll probably be needing a new compressor in a few years, good luck!

Excellent training. Need to take test now so I can get licensed. Love the way you set things up.

I am a DIYer Vehicle Mechanic and enjoy watching DIY mechanic how-to's. Watching your videos feels like watching a mechanic work on a car and it's like therapy for me. You have a new subscriber, Thanks!

This video brings back memories of one summer between college semesters I got a job at my wife’s uncles plumbing heating and cooling company being a helper installing HVAC systems. This was when everyone had to get “EPA certified “, so I read a book that they gave us and took the test and aced it. I got the highest score and didn’t know a thing about how to recover refrigerant. One of the things that really sticks out to me is I didn’t know that an attic could be hotter than hades in summer and that there was something called a crawl space underneath houses where all the spiders are.

OMG you just helped thousands of low-income people like me

I used to work for a Rheem dealer Ruud is their other brand only difference used to be one was green the other tan. Always found them to be good units.

Great video. Informative and detailed without being boring. Well done

I'm not even a HVAC person, but I loved the video. Learned some things. Super interesting dude. Be safe out there.

I learn a lot brother, You are awesome and thank you so much for all great videos. May God bless you and your family.

Thanks for posting the procedure/. I doubt that I will change out my condenser and evaporator coil since I had a new AC unit 410 refrigerant installed at the beginning of this year. But one is never to old to learn how to do stuff.

Awesome job...I like how you involve the kids in the process

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and knowledge. I appreciate it.

I do a lot of stuff on my own..not sure I would do this though. Nevertheless I like seeing how things ARE done.

you are amazing I thank you so much and for your sharing , no one give you any trouble because this is you sharing your experiences . I wish you always thrive on your career path Sincerely

Here, like I imagine in many places, permits are required to replace an HVAC residential system (Vero Beach, FL). I have a package unit that replacement would only involve reconnecting the return and supply flex hoses up to the back of the unit, the electrical and reusing or fabricating a sheet metal "cover" between the unit and the house stucco wall (stucco over concrete block). When I need a new unit, I'd sure like to be able to do the install myself. As to the warranty, it's 5 yrs. unless installed by a licensed HVAC tech/company - then it doubles to 10 yrs. Which I think sucks. Also, it's impossible to get replacement parts from local distributers as they'll only sell to licensed companies. This also sucks.

I’m always excited seeing new videos from your channel.

Thanks! Do you have any videos that show your initial evaluation of the old systems and how to select the best replacement? That would be great info.

I'm an HVAC Professional with 20+ years of industry experience and after watching HVAC DYI videos all I'm going to say is this. Beware of DIY HVAC repairs/change outs especially when you open up the system. HVAC is a very meticulous process and if you don't know what you are doing you can seriously hurt or you will be replacing compressor every 2-3 years. FYI. When doing R22 equipment change out but using the existing copper lineset, you MUST flush the lines using a solution like RX11 to rid of all R22 oils and contaminants. If you fail to do this task you will be replacing your compressor very very soon.

Would have liked to see more of ductwork transition to coil cabinet

Well done. Detailed enough for me and I learn a little bit more every video. Can you tell me where you get the white tube insulation? I've looked high and low for it with no luck.
