[@kennethmorgan2704]

ALways good to have someone that doesn't care to help someone diagnose a problem, and show how to fix it without having to call a technician...thanks!

[@Kaibil66]

always doing a great job....I always watch your videos very professional.!!!!

[@HuanNguyen-rj4xt]

Dave awesome presentation. I really learn from your videos. Can you do one video that will cover how to wire up the high voltage 240 V wires to the air handler. I dont think anyone has coveredt his.

[@rickanderson8088]

Molex Connector, you can't mess it up. Oh, what faith you have.... ....but yes, you have to foolish force the connector together to the point you're breaking it, dummies can do it....

[@marylamb6063]

Does the heat stip need a separate circuit with separate breaker? I've got a heat strip added to an air handler but is seems to have two power wires that must be connected to its own circuit separately. If so, do I have to reduce the wire size for my old Ruud (which had its built-in strip and 60 amp breaker)?

[@berlon-mtl]

Thank you , what size of wire goes to 10kwt heater? 6-2 gauge?

[@electromechanicalstuff2602]

Thermal disk are for overheat not for time delay. Time delay is coming from the sequencer.

[@diyguy2383]

How exactly does 240 single phase got "out of phase"?

[@geronimocastillo3968]

nice video thank you very much Sincerely.

[@mikgto68]

I have a question.. what of the air handler is 110v I have a seer 2 air handler.. will the heat kit be different? it doesn't have a moles plug on circuit board but a new proprietary plug...

[@ryanlujan8302]

Best instructor.... thanks for the video keep it simple and get to the point. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Thank you sir!

[@geronimocastillo3968]

thanks nice video

[@Brex806]

Great teacher

[@Ojeramup12]

Normally how many Kw for heat in 1 1/2 ton Bryant?payne ? My unit does not heat very well.

[@papoloco34]

Great video david!!!

You guys are amazing. Thank you for putting out this videos, they help more people than you realize. I follow your channel, and also do a/c at an apartment complex. If I ever run into a problem, I find one of your videos. Thanks from the swamps of Louisiana.

[@chadmangum4158]

I have 3 wires going to the furnace. I know the red goes to red and black goes to black. What do I do with the neutral wire?

[@anvibrimel41]

Thanks a lot for giving us some of your knowledge, what brand equipment was that? Can you please teach us how to troubleshoot a electric heat, I’m one year experience technician Thanks for your help Sir, God blessed you

[@tarawebster6797]

Rheem

[@derrontillery2699]

You just earned a sub, thank you.

[@amandamitchell4779]

Can you replace only the heating coil?

[@RM-pn4hl]

I am getting Ray to buy this: RHEEM RSNM-A024JK000 2 TON HORIZONTAL ROOFTOP AIR CONDITIONER 13 SEER R-410A it comes without heat strips can I use my Goodman self contained heat strips? The Goldman is about 4 years old. Thank you for the video

[@borndiy5490]

Thanks for this explanation. Bought my Carrier Package Unit in 2020 & Heat Strip turned on by itself at 4am on 10-27-23. Turned off Breaker & called for Svc. that morning. They Ordered a new Heat Kit Strip, you can't change out the Relay Switch so have to replace entire kit. Good I have 10yr Warranty. Cost to install I don't know but calling Monday. I sort of thought that this heat strip is what you just installed as a demo. Hope install is quick and not expensive to install. Thanks for this video.

[@SSMLivingPictures]

Anyone know why the furnace circuit board would come with that plug-in? Is this heat strip from the same company?

[@keithhoward8651]

Thanks for sharing

[@yodamanrulz176]

Take your time??? How about taking your time as a teacher and explain in a detailed fashion, without any” read my mindology.” As if you are teaching a new guy soup to nuts simple. Patience as a teacher is a virtue. You are obviously a smart tech however being a smart teacher is another thing.

[@Nickb6320]

Can these be installed on a gas unit, and how do they work in conjunction with the gas? Apologies if this is common knowledge to most.....

[@NickFarrow]

Open up your air handler and see if you have a plate. Some of them have what they call emergency heat.

[@PhillipCooperNCState]

Thanks...

[@popsmccartney435]

Thanks for sharing

[@danielmsignorini]

My unit is the same except I got a 17kw heat strip that comes with 2 double pole breakers each have 2 lugs for my hi voltage field wire. Do I put one of the 110 wires on each breaker or do I need a jumper? I’m only getting about half the voltage to everything on the board

[@scootin123]

Waite a minute I better watch that again

[@maverick19702000]

Thank you for the video!

[@BRExteriorPro]

Where does the main breaker mount to? I can't find anywhere. I have installed many units this one has stumped me.

[@boneyfreak9197]

Isn't it better to got 5kw and size up 6k on the HP? So the E hog elements aren't kicking on anymore than necessary? I'm in Region 3.

[@viola100able]

Thank you

[@rogeriosantos321]

Worked Great cooling a portion of our home after we lost the power during Hurricane Ida.We were able to run it off our generator and stay comfortable.

[@5papimami]

I have the heat pump nordyne í am ready installed,only problem í have is my furnace have two braker 60 i dont know if í need to put the same wire,and put two braker of 60 in the box

[@richbird21]

And what about the thermostat? will it work with my thermostat or will I have to put the element on its on swithch? I just brought a Rheem cooling system, its not a heatpump and there is no heating element in it.

I need all systems in my house can you give me the size o everything....my house has 900 feet......square

[@elviscontreras7957]

Thanks

[@davidthomas6875]

Great job! You would make a great instructor. ⭐⭐

[@brooklynattic]

Do I need to connect anything to my electrical panel if I install these?

[@adelmodasilva8164]

great instructor,thanks.

[@atkgrl]

There seems to be no place to connect the black and white wires that come off the other side of the fuse block.

[@DanO181919]

Great video.... do you have a video on recovery, vacuum and charging the unit? Thanks!

[@jonesacnaples]

yes, I do

[@pedrotorres915]

Beautifully explained. Thanks

[@atkgrl]

Does a heat strip get its own power ? What connects to L1 and L2 power points on the fuse strip?

[@rickramirez9274]

👍👍 you explain everything thoroughly very helpful. Thank you!

[@daddyyanser]

Great video, thank you David.

[@OBASTOS1]

Thanks David!!

[@ficratbasha271]

We need a video when a circuit breaker is attached to the strip.

[@xtremecomfort7799]

Thanks!!!!

[@teklesenbetgebreamlak7365]

Thankyou men appreciated

[@richbird21]

great video. Questions, will I need to add a new high voltage wires from the new heating coils to my breaker box? And at what gage does my high voltage wire have to be to power the new heating element coils,? and will I have to put a new breaker and a switch on the air handler for that new heating coil. my A/c unit is A/c only, its a Lennox. Help, lol I would like to see you do a full installation video on the electrical part of it> Thank you Richard

[@eltonq]

I’m doing my research too on replacing my system so I can try to help but I’m no professional. I don’t think normally anyone has to run additional wires to power the heater especially when a heat pump system is being used. That’s the huge difference between a HP system and regular. The HP air handler is designed to run the auxiliary heating coils. They are pre wired to take the heater from what I’ve seen so far. So basically you obviously have the wrong unit. The heating coils are controlled by the air handler and thermostat logic circuits. To run heating coils on a non heat pump system is going to be hard and will have to be manually turned on and off I think otherwise with no actual heat pump signals and operation, only the emergency heat feature might work from thermostat control and these coils aren’t designed to be used that way because they take a lot of electricity and won’t be strong enough to warm the whole house by itself. Hope this helps.

[@NickFarrow]

Wow I thought it would be way harder

[@Mr51Caveman]

We're selling our house and the Inspection said the Emergency heat strips weren't working. How do I fix this myself?

The inspector is trying to sell you blinker fluid. Give him a naked pic of a woman, tell him it's your wife. He will forget all about your heat strip, and pass your inspection. All inspectors are major perverts, they will screw a dog if you turn your head long enough. Inspectors want one thing, for you to act like they are God and you are shit. Fuck them, lie to them and they will pass your inspection. They want to feel needed. The last inspection I went through, the guy was so fat, he inspected the unit in the attic, by looking at the ceiling. He didn't want to sweat, that fat bastard passed all my stuff, and nothing was hooked up. Again, they are the biggest dumb asses of any field.

[@geronimocastillo3968]

new suscriptor.

[@MenInWoods]

Great information David. Question, on the white wire that is tied to the white/blue wire to heat strip, what is the ac voltage that the thermostat should provide on this wire after the heat is turned on?

[@burrowsandco]

Thank you so much

[@josephmclovin9763]

Thank you

[@jleesjerry]

Excellent, clear, concise. Thanks so much.

[@theunknowm16649]

Thanks

[@acrobat5472]

thank u great videos

[@randyjustice4561]

Awesome great advice thank you

[@richbird21]

ok what about the high voltage wires? does the heating element needs to be on its on breaker or does it just hook up to the air handler?

[@clivehedrick2763]

Did you ever find out? Seems nobody wants to show how to wire these

[@Gary-cq8zw]

What brand of strip is this. Thank you.

[@archer102356]

Being the plug was prewired for the Rheem air handler I'm guessing Rheem.
