How to replace the heat exchanger in the American Standard gas package unit?

[@tonydelgrego2906]

I’m 70 and will fix old equipment if the parts available. Nothing beats old equipment in quality. Great video

[@TaddyDigest]

Very true!

[@emoneyblue]

I 100% agree with you if you can repair an older unit and keep it running do it!

[@J-Colt]

I was just thinking how much easier this one was compared to the Rheem video when you mentioned it, lol. For some reason I have been enamoured with package unit videos this year. Thanks, very entertaining!

I enjoyed the video. I own my own hvac service and repair in central nc. Im service and repair only. I work on many systems older than 15 years old. And your correct the older systems were built to last. Some companies around here wont even mess with a system 16+ year old system. I get alot of second opinion calls and ive fixed a few that other companies have condemned. I mostly work on oil furnaces, heat pumps and some gas systems.

[@davidc6648]

I have one for you… 02/87, a Lennox split system. Works better than any other unit I’ve came across

[@andrewveres3965]

Love the videos tad you are a great and honest technician

[@juanarboleda]

Amazing work 👏👏👏👏

[@PhillipFrischman-vo8gm]

Love fixing them always. And your right about, ( do u fix or just replace.) Bring the work on...😊

[@nigelhosein7822]

Have to agree if it's worth repairing u can do it have a blessed day ahead

[@Infowarrior-1776]

[@elliottnewell3518]

big job tadd has it covered nice work

[@tedbell4416]

Good video heck yeah keep them old ones going

[@AaronPowellvox]

In large commercial environments they always want to repair the units. The smaller units are a lot harder than the larger ones. A friend of mine and I had a race changing two of the same style Trane heat exchangers side by side. I won but we did it in about fifteen minutes. They were very large units. I don’t remember what size.

[@TaddyDigest]

That's pretty cool man I love the friendship and competitiveness it makes work fun.

[@chriswiley9557]

Another amazing video. Love how you got that one down like the back of your hand! Man wish I could share some boiler burner pics and some of these on demand boilers it's been a doosey of a month here in MI but can't complain about the money. Keep up the good work :)

Good work Tad!

[@TaddyDigest]

Thank you brother

[@cashonlyj3469]

Good video Mr.Tad watching from Paris

[@raulbenignofloresvillanuev8252]

[@zekenzy6486]

Great video. Thank you for sharing

[@TaddyDigest]

Thanks for watching!

[@danpresson]

Lennox is the best to replace great video

I've got a aunt that has a 2002 model American standard 2.5 ton gas pack just like it she has never even had to top raised or nothing and it's STILL going like the energizer bunny she's never even serviced anything no coil cleaning at all . SO YES KEEP THE OLD STUFF RUNNING IF ALL POSSIBLE.

[@donrummerfield2903]

that's a big job and if you like to do it go for it me maybe not it depends on how much work I got ❤

[@mortimersnead5821]

Don't make em like they used to. I could get a 2 ton Goodman for about a grand, but I don't think it would last 27 years. Replacing a furnace is no small job either. Are outdoor units easier to replace the exchanger?

[@Curtis-s7e]

Good job well done like it very much tad❤

[@tedbell4416]

Wow that a/c is gonna run 10 times better with all that dirt gone

[@TaddyDigest]

I agree

[@j.r.branch1681]

The last heat-exchanger I replaced on that same unit u could smell a strong combustion smell out side around the unit I fire caulked around the heat-exchanger and combustion exhaust elbow put new gaskets on flue box and combustion assembly checked gas pressure new burners and could still smell a combustion gas smell around the unit can’t figure out way do u have any comments about it..

[@TaddyDigest]

I would be curious as to what the gas pressure was Also what was the fuel choice propane or natural gas?

[@sfl6306]

I hope that dog is ok!

[@j.r.branch1681]

The company I worked for we were told to fixed them change out if need but to fix the old unit cause they are better built and more dependable I have been a service tech for 26 yrs the new stuff isn’t as good as the old ones

[@gmcxm211]

Hey, you're restricted to what the customer wants.. My question is do heat exchangers last loner on units that are inside the structure vs the ones that are on these outside packaged units?

[@TaddyDigest]

good question I think furnaces last longer

[@jeffreycash1572]

Kind of wished I'd replaced mine on my duel fuel American Standard unit that was 18 years old. 6 years after replacing unit 1300 dollars of work to replace coil on new unit. 😢 Oh well Thanks for the video

[@lakeithwashum6497]

I have the same type of unit. Repair man couldn't find parts anywhere he said. I installed a new flame sensor and it still won't light. I wish you was in Tennessee.

[@TaddyDigest]

I am in tennessee

[@lakeithwashum6497]

@@TaddyDigest where in Tennessee may I ask?

[@TaddyDigest]

I am two hours from nashville One hour from jackson About 2 and a 1/2 hours from Memphis.

[@josepalacios9505]

That is good when you are not lazy you love to dig dust like they. I can break it and I can fix it

[@michaelcrossman805]

How can a regular person get parts they won't sell them to us

[@TaddyDigest]

You can visit websites like h v a c direct dot com.

[@sfl6306]

Yes!!!

[@sfl6306]

Makes you wonder when a manufacturer will stop making parts. I rather have parts replaced in stead of just trashing equipment that’s still very usable.

[@TaddyDigest]

I have been wondering that

[@HD-pc4id]

Damn hounds 😅

[@stevebennett1563]

Just sell them a new one
