  • @joebuslife9275
    I Love the fact that a channel like this can even exist :) We live in great times
  • @paulbrown1079
    Been a HVAC engineer for over 30 years was in hospital brushing up watching your video's you never stop learning and also you forget a lot of basics over the years brilliant videos . Are you putting together a book ?
  • @JohnFekoloid
    I live in the tropics. Never heard of heat pumps. But imagined it to be a 'reverse' AC unit. Very helpful explanation. Thanks
  • These are by far the best and most clear videos that I have found. I use them in my Adult HVAC classes and they benefit my students greatly. Thanks for clear, concise, accurate, and sometimes amusing videos!
  • @jhaveman
    I've been looking for a simple explanation like this. The only way this could be better is if you showed an example of the physical devices for the indoor and outdoor units or parts. And thanks for the great video!
  • @fattony123082
    I’m 36 and have been an HVACR tech for 17 years now. Heat pumps have come a long way. I don’t care who says what they are very practical and efficient. Check out the Mitsubishi Hi-2 versions. They give you 100% heat capacity at 5 degrees Fahrenheit and 95% heat capacity at -15 degrees Fahrenheit!!! That’s insane.
  • @Bolshevik337
    I’ve been checking out your videos for a while now as a student in the HVAC program at Kennedy-King College here in Chicago IL. HOW WONDERFUL !!! 😊👍🏾
  • @MatthewSuffidy
    Great 'happy hour' text at the top. A bit confused but it seems to do with different modes of the heat/compression relationship.
  • @chrisclarke1458
    That’s a great video, I really like that you stop to point us in the direction of other videos that explain the various stages in more detail. Really brilliant stuff, thanks.
  • @Dan-qt7kq
    I’ve been fascinated by this process because it’s in a closed loop, I know a high pressure side and low pressure side, but flipping them is brilliant.
  • @Mmoooossee
    I wish you did a video with graphics. Such as within the pipes. Show each process in detail as it passes each component. Essentially combining all your videos in one. No complaints here. Love your work. I’m just asking as I learn better with pictures and visualizations. One of the reasons I’m attracted to your channel. Thank you
  • @rgruenhaus
    I have a Carrier PURON heat pump system installed in 2007 and it is still working wonderful here in Pensacola FL with only a few breakdowns from minor parts from time to time!
  • Hello Paul, I just discovered you YouTube channel. I think it is absolutely amazing. I'm on a quest to engineer the most sustainable home. I'm wondering if this is a topic you might make some videos on.
  • @warn3535
    This is the best explanation on YouTube of how an air conditioner works. Kudos to you.
  • @KaiserXionTV
    Those animations help so much. About to start our chapter on heat pumps in class today. This helps so so much!
  • @lesliechow6003
    This is by far the best video explaining and illustrating how heat pump works. Some other ones on here seem to assume you already have a master's degree in HVAC to understand them.
  • @scotthill4742
    I’ll be honest that is much more complicated than I thought it was gonna be. Great explanation!! It’s crazy to think the amount of knowledge you need to have just to be a red seal tradesman!! Kudos
  • Best explaination of the air to air system I have ever seen. I have 40 years in the HVAC system and I'm so tired of the "advertising" of the heat pump takes "heat" out of the ambient air outside and transfers it to heat in the house. When it's 10F degrees outside there is no heat there but when I try to explain the heat comes from the compression of the refridgerant out of the compressor I'm told I'm always wrong and even by some of the current crop of HVAC mechanics. I definitely subscribed and liked and will refer doubting Thomas's to your video!
