Great HVAC Unit For The MONEY!! | RunTru By Trane

[@ericstrohl2952]

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I kzbin.infoUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

[@tyl8ter]

One thing I love what you said is " Lets read that manual"....

[@calebbertino4283]

yes finally a new install update sophomore in high school always excited to see a new video from you love the content my guy

[@MidgFarms]

i usually just kinda like skim through his videos and this dude is always talking tape....cracks me up, you are for surely a tape expert you know your tapes lol you should and need to be sponsored by them unless you already are. like the vids!

[@miniman9198]

Idk if he's fully sponsored but he has done a couple sponsored videos for Shurtape 😂 definitely knows his tape

[@LIBERTY0RDEATH]

@@miniman9198 butyl tape does look much cleaner than Mastic as long as it is installed correctly it will work the same. Why make a brand new unit all messy if you don’t have to right. I’m all for peel and seal

[@Bryan-Hensley]

@@miniman9198 that stuff will fall off in outside temperatures. Should use 3m cold weather tape..

He never use cheap tapes; only top brands; kudos!

[@garbo8962]

Nice install. Sounds very quiet. Years ago they would install a t or even a cross fitting to install 1 or 2 clean out spots for drain line but do not see it much anymore. Worked at a very cheap company that never would spend a dime to save a hundred dollars in maintenance. Drilled holes in at least 15 roof top unit drain lines to blow them out when the PVC line got blocked. Great ideal placing trap inside of unit. Trane makes nice stuff. They were owned by American Standard back in the 80's. Thanks for the great vid.

I remember ole Zach back when he was just a weed hopper. Great video brother glad to see you’re doing well

[@JumpingIntoHistory1944]

Happy to hear you say that you're going to read the manual. 90% of my factory warranty calls are in proper installation because they never read the IOM

Awesome job Zac! You're an amazing hvac guy bro. Hope all is well.

[@IslandbreezeMechanical]

Those package unit are a piece of cake. Nice

[@Bryan-Hensley]

Yelp Ameristar, proudly made in china. They let american standard assemble them in the USA to get around import taxes.. Those are made by Ingersoll Rand in china.

[@timbrock9616]

Nice clean install I like ur knowledge on different tapes a lot of people use same tape

[@97Napkins]

glad to see your using professional installers and not trying do all yourself. work smart not to hard

[@catbird1759]

I have an old split unit, and there is no way to get a new unit under the house because they built a garage over the crawl space and added 4 inches of concrete. This looks like a good unit to install. Great video!

[@BrandonGVM]

I have repaired so many leaks on evap coils for those units, hoping you don't have any issues with them.

[@richbatz139]

Would like to see you put cork pads under the units so they don't rust the bottoms out.

[@UltraHydrophobiccoat]

A contractor license question: a pad which at least 3 inches over the ground

[@Bryan-Hensley]

No kidding. He never does. I've been in this business since the 1980s

[@AkosiMRswabe]

I'm thinking the same thing. He drag the unit a bit, that would scratch the thin paint and start rusting.

[@robertlamey7612]

@@Bryan-Hensley yeah and I’m sure he could still out do you arm chair hvac super tech

[@delmarvaaireinc7742]

By the time it rusts what time is it again? But, I would use them for sound/vibration isolation.

[@JR-ch8rt]

I like to use splicing collars and pan do its. Over time tape comes lose and can cause a leak. It may have not been no DC-181 I can tell you that.

[@billmiller5075]

Your installs are always neat and thought out

[@angelhernanadez6422]

That sheet metal looks good 👍

[@coleyoufaka]

I work hvac in hawaii. First time seeing a package unit in a residential application pretty cool

[@Rozco99]

Question, did you put a coupling on that flex or just taped it.

[@keithjones197]

Love package units.no crawling on your hands and knees and no steps.

[@ThermalDynamicSevices]

Very clean install, looks great! The only thing I would have done differently is put a clean out T before the trap

[@andrewmckinlay2964]

Why?

[@googleuser846]

Unit won't drain if you do that

[@MichaelAnderson-py1ej]

Awesome video! Glad you didn’t add any of that music! I much rather hear the tools and you working, than some techno music playing!

[@hvac-rfreddy1275]

Tennessee must be great because California, and Nevada makes us tape and pookie after on flex duct, residential. You guys man I love it 🙌🏿

[@bstallings813]

Way cool that you guys covered up the flex.

[@silvioatejedor]

Hi where did you buy the dolly to carry the package unit never seen it before

[@darylbrookins4273]

Absolutely clean job......Looks fabulous

[@jeffreyrogers8151]

You don't have much experience, do you

Great looking install, y'all guys make it look easy. Wish they were all this straight forward. I have installed Runtru split systems. I really do like them .

[@randypaul5427]

Where did the thermostat line, under the whip, snake through? Is it traveling through the flashing (dog house) into the house?

[@Janiceaka-jlo0620]

You guys did a great job thanks for sharing 😊

[@Philadelphia19147]

Great channel, great editing, great content.

[@AvocatDude]

Looks pretty clean. Question; does the unit sit right on the ground or is it elevated up by some type of feet to keep the metal from corroding?

[@Bryan-Hensley]

The acid in the concrete will kill the sheet metal in just a few years. I don't know why he's not listening to people who have decades of more experience. I'll be honest, if he deletes anymore of my comments I might have to send those home owners a letter. They should know about this..

[@RoyalBoyle78]

You didn't show the thermostat wiring hook up?

[@BESTYEARSYET]

can a package unit like this one be used if my ducts are coming in from the ceiling?

[@benkuxhouse787]

I don’t know how you always know what size flex it is and you always bring the right materials. I think that unit should’ve been installed on some pads at least 2 inches high. I don’t trust those preformed P traps and you might end up with some condensate leak on that unit. I can’t tell you how many times over the years I’ve been doing this for 36 of them, I’ve had to cut those preformed P traps out because they are not deep enough. I never use them on any of my installs are use elbows to get a good trap. In the future if you want to use these you should raise that unit a few inches with some pads

[@rodhoutx]

I have one of those P traps on my split system. It was added when I had a new system installed. The builder didn't put one on the original system because it drains to the bathroom sink, but there was always the sound of air in the sink drain, so I liked having a trap. BUT... the coil manual (yep, I'm the weird person that likes to read a/c manuals) says to have a much deeper trap, and now I see why because my trap gets blown out all-the-time! If I fill up the bathroom sink and then drain it, the trap gets sucked out and it gurgles loud. If the heat has been on a few days, the trap starts to dry out and the loud gurgle is back again. Funny thing -- when the installers added the trap, they had also shortened the drain line and the trap was in a 45 degree run and keeping up all kind of gurgling noise! Had them re-do the plumbing and put it back down the way it was... should have asked for a deeper trap, but there was all kinds of things they had to be called back for.

[@stephenpeele3309]

Where did you get the dolly

[@disabledvet5124]

What is a heat pump ? In my house I got the inside evap coil , fan , and electric heater coils and outside is the main compressor unit.

[@robertgarcia6385]

Nice job sir ! Very impressed.

[@devinpaddock2569]

Another quality hvac install!

[@robertwood9628]

I would have removed as much flex as i could. Then install square to round boots on the unit and use hard duct to go into the under portion of the house.

[@robertwood9628]

But overall you did a nice job

Are package units more common in Tennessee? Mainly the only time I see them in north Louisiana is commercial applications or on trailers..

They are fairly common in East Tennessee.

There everywhere in North Carolina

Idk anything about ACs, but im getting one of these installed i just don't like how the copper lines were wired. Is that a cause for concern ??

[@JustGriff98]

What type of Cart was that you were using to move the pallet?

[@bill944]

The coil on the old unit looked like it played the part of penata at a child's birthday party.

[@brentaudi9354]

That is a very nice unit! Nice install. Thanks for the video. Do you ever come across a package unit that had metal vents all the way to the outside unit? Seems like every video I see on package units it is the type of vents (non metal) like the one in your video.

[@johngatsby1473]

Man i just got one of these and went to install it and found nothing but a transformer and minimal wiring inside the box.... I was looking for a fuse and a computer board for sure but ...nothing! Is this normal?

Clean Install!! why would you not put it on pads though?

It will rust out in a few short years sitting metal to concrete. Minimum 1” rubber pads underneath it for more height from the elements and also protects the steel case

soooooooooooo does TN NOT require 3ft metal run off from the unit? NC requires 3ft of metal on the feed side, no metal on this install flex hooked right too the unit. Also you enclosed the system completely , no break for inspection? Not permitted? We have to have an inspection before the hood enclosure is installed. Then a final after its installed here in NC

Hello this is Mike from Amsterdam Holland why is and the machine above the ground what happens when you get a lot in of snow

Mike, lots of homes in tn have crawlspaces. Unless a dedicated mechanical closet was incorporated into the design, package equipment is the least expensive way to install. We don't get much snow except for this season. Usually gone by the pm.
