Except that when pressure tested to failure, brazed systems blow first every time (not in the joint, but in the adjacent heat affected copper). Contaminant issue may be real, but “brazing is stronger” is an absolute myth.

I am getting mold on the cold side on the outside . on the outside of the ductwork the inside is very clean , i am in Florida so its used almost year-round,

I'm sure this is the correct way to do it. However, someone who hasn't got a recovery tank or a scale doesn't really have this option without shelling out hundreds of dollars. It's going to cost more than the compressor is worth for me to call a tech. So I fumble forward and add refrigerant.

Worked there it sucked modern day slavery. The managers are all idiots. The fumes in that place are hazardous. The ac doesn’t cool in a ac company make it make sense

Do a test on Yoor air filters

$12,000 is steep for a furnace I’d do $4500-5,000 but if it’s a furnace+evap then $7500 is more than reasonable. If cond + air handler(furnace) then $12,000 is more than reasonable If refr lines and ductwork were included as well then you’re looking at $20,000-35,000 depending on how your house is set up

My unit has a USA made AMRAD... Excellent!

Hope you paid for that $2.48 filter at Home Depot you destroyed. 😆

This guy is truly annoying, nothing but opinions. "I won't mention" blah-blah. Daikin is Japanese company and as Japanese company they are good. But most of the stuff is still made in China pretty much like everybody else. Your own personal experience doesn't count, that is what is called anecdotal. "They honored warranty when they did not have to"? Really, be more specific instead of pulling statements like this out of your behind. "some other company treated me ..." blah-blah "I won't mention it" blah-blah. This guy is in HVAC business only 3 years, do you really believe he has solid experience he can draw on? Most of his videos are useless blabber without specifics.

Where do you suggest we(homeowners) purchase hvac equipment?

Hello Joshua: good video. I had my system replaced just before Beryl hit our area and they put a media filter behind the airhandler and we have a cheap fiber filter at the R/A grille.-

Very informative video, thanks! I live in north Georgia and recently tested my basement for radon and the results came back at slightly above two. The house was built in 2004. I’m having a radon mitigation system installed next month because I rent the basement apartment out, and I expect the radon levels to go up in the winter. I have the AirThings home monitor.

I have a Carrier heat pump, registered with 10 yr warranty, still under. No problem for 5 years. A/C stopped cooling, called installer, very nasty, not the original ppl. Replaced part, reimbursed, under warranty. Less than 4 weeks later stopped cooling again. Called different nicer ppl company, outside unit, replaced part, charged me. When I called them back regarding reimbursement for part cst, they said they because they were not installers they would not honor warranty. Is that right?

why do i need a sparkless vaccum pump , but its ok to use open torch to solder the unit ???

Did i see any spark in his striker?😂😂

What about HVAC return vent at the end of a narrow hall? The prior owners placed it 52 feet away from the unit and there is static. Given the configuration of the house, the only alternative for the return vent would be next to the unit, but in a narrow hallway.

Hey I just got a new mini split put up and 2 days later I'm getting a toxic smell, any idea wats goin on ?

Some companies are over priced for sure ,but there is a point when you are in business to make money and people google everything today to look up cost of parts and fill they are getting rip off! A lot of hidden fees like liability insurance, maybe you want to retire one day.Gas for truck! Heath insurance ! Truck repairs! Disability insurance! Tools! and more! and the most important KNOWLEDGE!

Thank a Democrat for this.

Can I leave this fan on 24/7?

Got to size your A/C to the load factors also. My house is under-sized for the sun exposure it gets, the lack of insulation between the thermal mass of the brick walls, and window leaks. To right size you need to run the ASHRE calculations, and many HVAC people won't do them, because it's kinda complex and time-consuming to figure out how much cooling capacity you really need for a building.

Thanks, your comparison of Carrier and Bryant helped. I have had a service provider that I trust and have used for 20 years and they only install Bryant. I got a bid from a Carrier dealer as well. I will go with my trusted provider since the products are virtually the same.

I made 2 million dollars this year!!!😁 but this video is amazing 💪🏾💯💯

your dead wrong..was it 110 degrees outside 😎😎

Griff, I'm building a 1000 sq ft cabin with a 500 sq ft loft. My hvac man installs Gree & Mitzubisi mini-splits. Which brand would you choose for this cabin? Thank you, Cal

LOL - "junk and crap" from soldering. But not copper oxide. Anything to back up your assertion that "brazing is just a better joint"?

We connsider the installation of air-to-air heat pumps in our home. Mitsubishi Hyper Heating (MFZ-KW?) with floor mounted consoles seems to be a good option. We want to install 2 multisplit units connected to 2 indoor consoles each, for reasons of redunancy, we would place one indoor unit of each heatpump in our living room. We would like to know if it is possible to control 2 indoor units that are connected to a different heatpump with one and the same wall mounted controller. If possible, we would prefer it over using a handheld remote control. Please let us know if (and how) this is possible and what the implied cost might be. We thank you for your time and expert advice! Willy Vd Wyngaert

Before you do anything make sure you have a clean air filter!

I'm concerned about the 410a phase out, which will be a ban on Jan 1 2025 I believe. Im in the market NOW for 2 mini split heat pumps. I pretty much decided on 2 that had the features and price I liked… Frontier Diamonte with inverter, 9k and 12k btu's. However, then I read about the phase out of 410a. Some online are saying its a big deal, that 410a will be hard to find and very expensive, while others including local HVAC techs and an online Frontier representative say it won't make much difference for 25 yrs! I've seen a few (very few) R32 units online (Daikin I think was a leader in R32 in US) but they cost way more than the Diamonte's I was so interested in. All else equal I'd definitely go with the R32, but do you think it will make much difference? I probably need two separate units and hope to find them for under $1200.00 each! i expect there will be many options in R32 very soon, so I am hesitant to buy right now even though I am in real need of new units.

You can't get anybody to come do a proper tune up. They just want to sell you a new a/c.

Love that this was said. You cannot guarantee mold spores are gone. If it were me I would leave the house and everything in it behind.

I have the New Daikin thermostat, looks good and no problems on dropping the Wi-Fi. Would highly recommend it.

Absolutely the future. Quiet, more efficient, easy to clean, and China will mass produce the shit out of these making them commodity priced.

DO NOT GO WITH ROV SUN. We had a mini split we bought off Amazon and got it installed a year after we purchased it. It said it came charged. NO CHARGE!!! Went to Amazon, they didn't do anything and ROV SUN certainly didn't either and told us to kick rocks because they only offered 1 year warranty! Though if you check reviews on their stuff, they try to ignore your complaints too! AVOID. Also got us to stop paying for Prime, not taking care of their customers and allowing cheap Chinese crap to flood their marketplace.

I'm a master electrician and it is a lot more difficult to become an electrician than an HVAC pro. And so you always have work but, If you are business person and want to grow, plumbing and HVAC is the way to go.

Thank you for saying R32 is difluoromethane

Make sure your home is smoke-free! Toxic tobacco smoke harms people, animals and property in SO many ways. It's poisonous and carcinogenic, of course. If toxic tobacco smoke was EVER present in your home, the HVAC system and all ductwork should be replaced.

I'll just go with Della 1200 BTU. I don't need anything fancy or expensive for Northern Wisconsin in the summer.

Excellent breakdown! we always make sure to discuss all thermostat settings with our customers before making any adjustments <3

Perfect

I’m 55, and I just pivoted my career from landscaping to get into HVAC in the Phoenix area. Just got a job starting in the high end new home installation apprentice next week , i thought this will be a great place to start from ground up to learn the business. I was able to get my EPA certification on my own, no schooling . I know I might be crazy but I welcome the challenge. I appreciate this video in helping me validate what I hope comes true. Wish me luck ! Kind of nervous but excited for the opportunities out there. As my kids say, YOLO!

They installed a unit at my home that doesnt even meet the minimum requirements for seer rating

I set the clock and the options required to operate the system and hand them the book. They can configure their own WiFi and Alexa and schedule. Most don’t want to pay me $180 an hour to stand there and push buttons.

The auto changeover/schedule combo is my favorite feature during those wild times of the year in Virginia.

Brother, love your videos and I'm not a A/C Technician! And after watching your videos for a couple of years, I'm in the market for a new A/C unit in my house, unexpectedly as usual, so much so that I'm using my window unit out of my garage! A/C compressor goes tit's up on the hottest day of year here in South Texas. I've takin several quotes and only one of them offered an Inversion system, the others said Inverter system go down because of boards dying, and nobody knows how to work on them?! I'm still going to go for the Inversion system because of your videos. Big Buy, and little anxious.

oh so they're scum trying to milk money. that sounds about right for contractors

Will a broken prong be a reason why my thermostat is blank

I need ti install 3/8 and a 3/4 for a 3 ton system . Its about 25 feet and gonna need about 3 ninty bends before out of the wall. Just wondering how do i do that? These lines are soft copper in a coil. I've seen some guys filling them with sand or water. Not sure if that is a good idea. Can you give me some tips. Its in new construction and I want to do it myself. Thanks

Where is this guy from

Just got a new 3 ton a/c unit return grill is 20x20 = 400 sq.inch in condo hallway can I put a 12×12 or 14×14 return grill in living room?
