It's crazy how much you get done before I've even had my 2nd cup of coffee. Nice job!

[@MrCmgl1]

Sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Handful of times over my career I have actually completely taken apart the air handler like that and folded the case in a triangle to get it into attics and crawl spaces. Keep up the great work.

[@BigPowerAL]

Really enjoyed watching the install. I just moved from my Pharmaceutical companies Boiler group into the HVAC / Electrical Group at 60 years old. Wished I’d did this years ago! Never stop learning and doing!

[@ronchambers9762]

Mikey Pipes, You win dude. That was the most real hvac video call I have ever seen. Unless you have done that, you have no idea how awful it is. You took it really well. I could not stop laughing. Love You Brother.

[@ronchambers9762]

LOL, I didn't think about that. No sir. Just an old guy with 3 grown kids and grandkids. I do refrigeration for a major company in Memphis, Tn. 44 years at the same place and still going. Enjoy the day.

Mikey Pipes and the Boys are doin' some copper fishing. Great Content Men!!!

[@doctorjohn-burgtekie]

I like it when the owner/boss gets dirty during an install, workers have more respect for that person and if they don't well no workie for them.

[@yomomma9070]

The 2-5 ton air handlers strip down pretty easy. The hardest I've had to do was a 7.5 ton Trane TWE air handler on a commercial installation. I had to completely disassemble it and carry it piece by piece above a floating ceiling and reassemble it. Even then the blower assembly barely fit. The 2 foot by 4 foot coil was pretty tricky too. Nice work and great job team.

[@josephguido7902]

Yikes!!!

[@adamsmalley8834]

Great job Mikey. You and the team bossed it! When a job doesn’t go to plan it’s all about putting ya big boy pants on and getting stuck in to get the job done on time and onto the next!

Good video of how you have to adapt to the situation at hand , also know a good drywall company. Once you get to use the pipe swiper you'll love it you won't need to run flush through there if you don't want to it's really cool how it operates

[@smeyers9284]

great job mikey pipes and crew would love to see a mike pipes box trailer added to the fleet for these type of jobs

[@jochemsluis8834]

Reminds me on a builder install. The heat pump ducted was heating the roof space as they used pvc tape on what I think is a high static pressure line and it blew off the pvc tape. I had to remove the roof to get to the indoor unit to re-tape the the duct back on.😒

[@El_Diablo_LI]

Nice job Mikey. That looked like a Woodsburgh job. My uncle was the police commissioner there years ago when they had their own police department. They shut that experiment down cause it cost them too much money. Looks like every part of that job fought you. Climbing in that attic hole looks like it sucked! Been there done that many times. I think I would have opted to use a stick or two of 3/4" pvc to guide that line set through there instead of climbing in the hole. Another possible method would of been fiberglass fish poles that electricians often use. They come in sets of 3, 6 foot sections that screw together to get you 18 feet through an attic or wall and they're pretty flexible. Thanks for feeding us today. One of these days I'm going to stop by your office in the morning to pick up some stickers and maybe purchase a few shirts. God bless...and FJB!

[@potentialhvac6074]

Yo I usually doube wrap it ,with a combo of tape(foil and or vinyl)and spray glue. Gotta let the glue get tacky before you press down for it to stick better. (Although apparently air space increases the R value). Nice install! Glad to see a team work together!

[@careydecker4427]

You are the reason, I am smiling today

[@JoeSmith-ov4go]

About time you actually do some work

[@tphvac87]

Excellent video btw, just absolutely gold Mikey!!! P.S I’ve had to do something like this before, coming up through a soffit…but not usually going up through a wall 😂 wonderful job fellas!! Best way to insulate is to add the spacers provided with it to make it R-8 insulation…

[@joebass5163]

Whoa, my 32yo 3 ton Rheem was replaced in January 2022. It looked just like this one and was a power hog at 17.9 amps R.L.A. Now I have a 3 ton Daikin Fit heat pump with gas backup.

[@codywiggins9387]

Few of the tape manufacturer's make a foil tape w/mastic sealant on the backing and it'll stick to literally anything without needing any spray adhesive and its rated for indoor/outdoor.

[@zacharypalczynski8450]

Best video, we appreciate this video!

[@ianicus123]

That's why you test your tools, also, hoses with ball valves are preferred for standing pressure test.

[@throttlebottle5906]

use pvc pipe as a temporary guide and protector to feed the line-set into the attic past the nails and sharp corners, once it's in place just slide the pvc off the outdoor end. the hole through soffit needs to be slightly larger so the pipe can fit and be at steep enough angle to clear everything and not jam up. you can use flexible pvc "pool/spa pipe" and even leave it in place as a protector.

[@frankavery568]

I agree 100% when you leave place clean better than when you got their

[@pipepro3131]

Mike nice job but instead of zoom lock 90. use internal easy bender works great. Just use internal reamer before using.

[@jeffmonroe2365]

Armaflex glue works pretty good for duct insulation. Never used it on the bubble wrap but it works good on other stuff. Could also use mastic.

[@robertlamey7612]

We have to do that all the time here. I’m in he south where 90% of units are in the attic with small scuttle holes. Then to make it worse the unit will be on the other end of the attic with no walk way. Have to walk joist

[@joshtheld]

Mikey Pipes, I used the same clear condensate trap you use, and unfortunately, water condenses on it. To be fair, the instructions do say to insulate it if you have a non-conditioned attic.

[@ericschwarz9718]

3m spray glue works realy good

[@Chris_In_Texas]

20:20 I think you need so flexible fiberglass rods to fish a rope to that hole to then attach to the line set to then pull through that area without you getting in there! All the network cables I have run in attics and walls, I am lets just say big boned and at 6'5" as well I wouldn't fit in that little tiny hole! 😁 I have a whole section of fish tapes, rod, poles, wires etc. That would come in handy here for sure, and save your back. 👍

i lived in a tudor in detroit in the 50s and there was a tiny door like that leading into the next bedroom. only a lot smaller 3x1. framed out like a door. never found out the official reason, but thought it was to hear a baby. i was scared of it, as a baby, thought that killer clown would come out.

[@michaelchase9249]

Watching you go into the crawl space thinking that you should have used pvc pipe to help run the line set so you don't have to get into the tight space.

[@Chris_In_Texas]

10:41 Look at all those user serviceable parts inside! Operation Carrier Collapse! 👍

[@dr.comforthvacr8889]

Well boss a bubble wrap insualtion requires an air gap 2 inch to become R8 thats why it doesnt want to stick to the metal LOVE U SAINt MIKEY

[@michaelpersonale8486]

Tranes TAM air handlers are awesome

[@Tim_Takacs]

Be sure to install a liquid line solenoid that's quite a drop for liquid to go into the outdoor units on shut down equalization. Run the risk of slugging and burn out. Seen it many times here in San Antonio TX. Yes I saw how the line set was installed but the solenoid would add protection.

[@Tim_Takacs]

@@PipeDoctor was a very good install !

Mikey why no strap on aquastat? Going to blow cold air until hot water reaches the fan coil.

3M high strength spray adhesive spray to the cabinet and to the bubble insulation let it get tacky and align and stick together also you can use 2 sided carpet hi tach tape

[@northernliving2387]

Did you minch that to the home owner about the door way when you where there the first time

[@matthewsinex3053]

Do you have a reason you break the condenser wire with the float switch we have always broke 24 Volt to the stat to shut the whole system down just wondering

[@fuzion430journey3]

You couldn’t get the unit through the return hole?

[@Gutter-Snipe]

tack spray works. you still have to tape it. but it comes out looking excellent. Dont you have to use a higher R value in attics in NY?

[@Gutter-Snipe]

just like 4 piece duct cut to fit spray both duct and insulation let dry a minute time to get tacky and stick, rub vigorously, tape the joints.

[@jimmyp5487]

I think with bubble wrap ur suppose to double wrap the metal and install spacers between them to gain the proper R value of the insulation. Shit looks good bro. Way to over come those f-ing f-ed up obstacles ✌️✌️🇺🇸🇺🇸🤘🤘

[@JHACbiz]

Yeah I think an Air Gap is what gives it the R factor

[@swaterman08]

Danny did not test his solder joint with the bubbles?

if those linesets are 30+ years old, why not offer to replace both of them?

[@shahsmerdis]

How do you like the Bosch level ?

[@dc6233]

I usually break the green wire with the micro switch or moisture detector, that way the fan shuts down on a water issue because people otherwise don't have the brains to turn the air handler off...

[@Jimbobo162]

When you do an oil to gas conversion will customers save a good amount? Of course house size and insulation comes into play.

[@Clamjammer]

Good amount? Great amount!! Oil is way more expensive!

[@chrisconnolly9973]

okay uh, when you found the lineset there, cut it, and cap both and then pressure test each line individually and keep half of it!!!!

[@michaelkuprian01]

Always "R" because I want to get the call asap. If the blower is running they always wait till after 5. Just my thinking.

[@MookieMan1]

At the same time, if you get some failure during the winter, they now lose heat because of a AC or pan issue. Couple that while the owner is on VACAY and you got a ice cube house and pipes.

I've taken many air handlers apart. So fun, not. LOL. With that bubble duct wrap it's better to have an air gap between it and the duct. With the air gap it makes the R value go up.
