That was an easy remove and replace evaporator for sure ! Good design by the manuf. Also, very smart idea to use the 20% silver solder, eliminating extra time to flow nitrogen and braze. I guess it helps that the original installation was done in a good way too. Rather sad the copper joints failed on the old one and even more sad that the manufacturers don't supply new copper replacement evaporators as the aluminum tube tend to corrode and leak in a short 6 to 10 years. If you have the needed tools and equipment, it sure makes the job go smoother. I have seen guys beat their head against the wall by not having the proper gear to get a job done correctly and in a smooth fashion.

[@johnwalker890]

Great job Steve, it takes a lot of tools and equipment to do air conditioning installs.

[@Parkhill57]

Love the two part, glad the customer got right after it. Never saw skylights in rafters before.

[@gregspot]

Thanking for posting this promptly. When I saw part 1, I was hanging on the edge like a soap opera.

[@Skanzool]

Good job, Steve. You're well organized.

[@picklerix6162]

I love that StayBrite 8 solder for installing new equipment. It’s great stuff.

[@fanofoldfans9238]

Steve I wish it was mandatory for all licensed A/C techs to use all the fancy equipment you use. These young kids that work for a small outfit just slam refrigerant in without using any vacuum pump or gauges. Great job!

[@williamkennard6080]

Thats a nice set up. I was wondering where to keep my back up hose's - other than ziplock bags. Went and got another back pack to hang of the head rest.

Who taught you to pluralize a word with an apostrophe? Don't be making that mistake again if you know what is good for you.

[@Gsxforsale]

This whole time I’ve been hearing people say pump down I thought they just meant evacuate. I didn’t even know you could do that

[@dennisdonahue]

The detail of the video was great. Awesome job!

[@kytacomaguy]

It's a pleasure watching you work, Steve...

[@scottstabb1432]

Great video!!! I have seen all over the place NOT to pull down 410a. How do you know when you can or cannot pull down a 410a system? And if you decide not to pull it down to the condenser, how do you otherwise get the 410a out where you can use it? I am trying to relocate my condenser and requires disconnecting the line set.

[@javiergalvan2604]

Another kick ass video Steve, great craftsmanship, and the video was awesome al well! 👏 💥👌👍🫵☝️

[@william_mason]

We have to use locking caps in my town. Nice install by the way.

[@Adam_Poirier]

Man, this was really excellent. I learned a lot on this one. Someday could you explain the bulb upstairs? That's the only part I'm still not completely clear on. I will look back and see if you have some other videos about it.

[@scottk0623]

Nice save on that unit Steve, STAYBRITE #8 is actually only 6% silver & 94% tin. To bad that new coil was aluminum not copper.

[@w.miller7282]

Most Rheem/Ruud indoor coils are aluminum and have been for a long time .

[@daveblockabg]

Every manufacturer is using aluminum coils now. Suppose to leak less it they all leak anyways

[@zacharypalczynski8450]

And he had the manifold open 😬so it was pumping down possible air in that manifold from the 😅the hoses, just need the gauge part , manifold doesn’t need to be open , unless recovering. Right after compressor got pretty noisy , some scrolls can take it some can hold it and it will make noise and possible not pump down all the way

[@DavidAfriyie-ev8tp]

Hey man,you explained vividly. Good job done

[@lawrencesiemsen1083]

old school the right way , call backs cost a lot more time and $ good job!!!!!

[@Honestandtruth007]

Well explain as always 👍👍

[@trainmasterpat]

Good job Steve! That Staybrite stuff looks amazing. I think I’m gonna order some to try it out. They say it even works on stainless.

[@potatolew4495]

You will not be disappointed. I have been using it for the past 15 years and never had an issue. I do HVAC and refrigeration on yachts and commercial fishing vessels. Many times the line sets are in an area where you don't want to saturate it with excessive heat. Make sure your joints are clean and fairly tight. Also use the Harris stay clean paste, no other Flux works with the Saty Brite 8.

[@DavidBrown-lq2qp]

Good video Steve one of your best

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍

[@ClickinChicken]

I have that same dome type skylight window! Cranks out the same. Put it in myself. Dad had it hanging around in pole barn from the 80/early nineties' so I put it in few years back! It has a deep well on the inside to out (between joists). Exactly, lets heat out of A frame loft. She could, it may help shingles last longer, depending on attic ventilation. has bug screen. 😀

[@dangates3022]

smart to back off your gage i noticed you cranked it in. on you nitrogen tank, you were schooled well. i do it all the time it serves to purposes in my mind. safety from some one accidently hitting the valve on the tank and takes stress off the diaphragm. you should do it on all ages oxy acc. etc.. IMHO any thing with a spring tension when not in use back off the pressure. torque wrenches fire arms throw the bolt forward a good practice

[@gordonpotts753]

Tip: Teflon tape is subject to being dissolved by pag and algabenzene oils. Use leak lock sealant

[@deanguando1335]

A lot of work and know how went into that job.

[@shoosh9996]

Video reminded me to check my own micron gauge, I had left the battery in it!

Nice job... Watching a real pro.

[@aymanhanna3001]

great video what app are you using on the tablet and how to connect wirelessly to your gauges i a a DIY learn a lot from you

[@Dominick_Calvitto.]

i have Gauges for Sale Steve.. Great Fix Steve..

[@johnsutherland6322]

Quality again Steve good professional work

[@Josh-px6xb]

I’m kinda not a big fan of pumping it down. Ik it’s faster, I just feel like it stresses the compressor too much and a lot of the oil will stay in the old evap which takes away from the lubrication

[@danwittels5542]

Nicely done Steve!

Hey Steve, great video job well done. Just curious what is a job like that run roughly

[@stephenbullock-yn3vh]

Excellent fix steve 👍

[@iamnoone.]

Howdy Steve and Molly. Steve, you're the man

[@cndream1]

Curious, whats the approximate job time for this A coil job. It looked to be pretty straight forward for that job condition. I am sure some can be rather tough. Easy peezy, wham bam - done. In my area they quote 4 hours for this job.

[@mlanderson7731]

Curious to know too, $1595 - that is with covered parts

[@acrservicesmathewr7565]

Wow if the attics here in pa had those windows I'd be in paradise. Lay back and take my time. Maybe get lucky and find an attic vent or fan

[@repro7780]

Steve's workin again, y'all!

[@MikeMcCue849]

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO STEVE, LOVE IT.

[@cpluver812]

Is it an universal evaporator coil fit most brand ?

[@eddiekilby]

I think remember you installing this one.

[@DAS-Videos]

Nice. A lot of companies would have said "The whole unit needs replacing".

[@richvanorden7026]

What did you replace the 410a with

[@Mxbarry]

Excellent video, Steve!

[@argee99]

Maybe its not rocket science, but pretty damn close in my book. Thanks, Steve...

[@fernienava1]

Man is that a copper evaporator coil? I would have tried to fix it because them new aluminum evaporator coil are straight garbage!

[@mattl643]

Nice job

[@Ander5806]

Steve How do you fix a small hole, leak in this type of coil with no copper just aluminum tubing ?

[@potatolew4495]

You replace the coil. If you repair a tube on the outside bend, you most likely will be chasing more leaks in the very near future. No worth the risk of your integrity

[@erics9213]

Steve, did you remove the old drier or leave it in? Thanks for this video.

[@jesusmeda7382]

[@potatolew4495]

Did you not see him put in a new filter drier?

Did you warranty the coil?

[@tombeilman5579]

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@fernienava1]

I can already see the leak in 12 months!

[@johnready630]

Glad you checked for leaks.......twice !! 😅

[@zackmax7184]

My Parents have a 30" Chicken House Fan in their Attic. I guess it still works. I don't walk very Good now, so I don't go over there very much.

[@bruceorourke5432]

You never took the dryer out of the old unit when you installed a new dryer

[@DEW409]

Just installed a new Rheem unit. Hope the aluminum coil does not rot out right away like so many seem to do.

[@tonym6920]

I have an American Standard 2.5 ton, and after 4 years the coil blew. Lost all the refrigerant. Cost me a fortune to replace it, plus the labor to install a new A coil. American Standard replaced the coil, still under warranty. I have my unit serviced twice a year, can you lose all the 410A in that period of time? Do all the HVAC manufacturers use aluminum coils now? I had a RUDD before that which lasted 14 years, probably had a copper coil.

[@thomaskaraindros28]

@@tonym6920 unfortunately yes a lot of the big manufacturers are using copper coils now like Trane/AS, Carrier/Bryant and Rheem/Ruud. My company installs Bryant but when I quote a job I always always quote an ADP coil because they are still making them out of copper. Saves me and the customer a headache!

[@zacharypalczynski8450]

Where was the drier ?

[@zacharypalczynski8450]

Never mind

[@bigman55434]

The equipment being made today is pure garbage. Just found out my Ruud evap coil is pissing refrigerant. Zero charge in the system. Entire system is less than 7 years old. Now I'm on the hook for at least the labor, assuming it's still under the 10 year parts warranty. Absolutely pisses me off.

[@gordonpotts753]

I see the new one is al. The old one is copper

[@JD-fo6gs]

Used to love your videos but completely fell out on this one using stay bright # 8 in place of 15% silfoss on a 410a system and not even running nitrogen while brazing even using stay bright #8 you should still be running nitrogen I've seen it ash of many times on the inside.

[@stevenlavimoniere]

ya guy you don't need nitrogen when using staybrite 8 it melts at lower temps so there is no ash inside piping ,, Einstein ,and its stronger then bracing .. do your research i was not brazing i was soldering

[@potatolew4495]

​​@@shadowman3320hat is exactly what Steve wrote. Read his comment again boy!! He did spell brazing wrong.

[@potatolew4495]

​@@shadowman3320ok there kid.

[@michaellee695]

Nice

[@bobbywanger8123]

👍🔥🔥

[@daveblockabg]

Reason you don’t have to purge with stay bright is cuz not high enough heat is needed like braze. But h still got it red hot. Defeats the purpose

[@bruceorourke5432]

You get a 10 year warranty with that with the old one

[@joeburner7120]

You get the unused portion of your initial warranty. If you have a coil with a 10 year warranty and it leaks in 9 years, your new coil will only have one year warranty. Common practice in HVAC and water heaters.
