HVAC Ride Along | Trane Install

[@alejandrachavez3476]

*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*

[@chaddegolyer81]

Been in the industry for 17 years working as a technician, manager, and director. I have to say your videos, workmanship, and the way you go about establishing customers in the right way to do business. Very impressed with you knowledge and quality of service your providing. Keep it up sir! This industry needs more technicians, installer, owner like yourself.

[@Ronnocbot]

The HVAC logo really reminds me of RVCA

[@ericmcdaniel4029]

I wish I lived in Tennessee. Just started HVAC school and would love to be able to just ride with you on your jobs to observe how you work. Love how you show pride in this field. It’s what I hope to accomplish. My own business. Btw love the way your filming lately too. The drone shots are sick

[@JoseRamos-cp5ll]

We all should learn from you. Your quality of work is Excellent.

[@Chris-ru3ri]

I love how the low voltage goes in threw the flue intake.

[@josephsantos7047]

Start school in 2 weeks and I’m beyond excited. Can’t wait to fully understand and learn with you!

[@baggedhemi8705]

Wish you luck brother . Got into the field 6 Years ago and I love it . 4 Years school and 2 years In the field !

[@josephsantos7047]

Matthew Byam school is 2 semesters for residential , but 5 days a week all day. Thanks man, I’m excited

[@baggedhemi8705]

By the look of it you’ll do good . Keep watching videos to get a head start just stay focus a lot of money to be made . I’m only 19

[@Sctronic209]

Good idea on the brazing leaving, the condenser hookup 👍

[@jtalonrider4769]

I didn't get that, in what way help?

[@jesuscard.1675]

@@jtalonrider4769because is easier to flow nitrogen.

[@zhaofang6132]

Since last night, I have watched 1/3 of all your videos. I really like your working manner - clean work, organized truck, fancy and handy tools.

[@michaelmead5880]

As a self employed single man operation, I respect everything you do and appreciate the videos you put out. I’m based out of Ontario Canada. Keep up the good work!

[@nicesmack9309]

How long does it take to be self employed? What are the pros and cons?

[@michaelmead5880]

All comes down to how much you want to work. Being self employed is stressful but it comes with advantages and disadvantages. There are days where I can’t enjoy my time with my new born son because I’m constantly thinking about billing, collecting payments, quotes, bills, who I need to pay, marketing, warranty work, call backs, supplies being wrong, taxes and the list goes on. If you like to be on the go all the time and constantly think about work and how to keep going, self employed is the way to go. If you like to turn your phone off when you get home after your 8 hour day then I suggest staying there.

[@AlexGarcia-vv4ux]

Really clean job .looks great 👍 can always respect someone who takes pride in their work.

[@drakbar5957]

Too many installers don’t care what the finished product looks like if it’s hidden in the crawl space or attic. You do, and that’s something I really appreciate!

[@JC-tm6wh]

You need to make more video's, I know its time consuming but you have a upper level talent for this kinda thing. Just a home owner here.

[@hansgruber7680]

Im 31 yes into telecom trade in the northeast, its refreshing to see people still take pride in there work! Thanks

[@W4AX]

There is no one posting to KZbin that does higher quality work than you. Always impressed! Please keep more videos coming.

[@1on1c5]

Very nice work. Love the tactical bag.

[@georgeswindolljr1980]

I’m really glad to see you cut with a tubing cutter, back purge before brazing, and being mindful not to contaminate with debris after debuting!!!!!!!

[@thtbest5k4t3]

Just started up with an hvac company as an installer . Hope to own my own hvac company like u one day !

[@romonek]

Great to see you have help and also teaching some one the trade.

[@ericcrevling3759]

Another great video! The pride you take in your work is awesome to see! Thanks for take time to make these videos. It gives the new guys like me something to strive for! Stay safe out there

[@bklyn2va2dc]

Dragging and turning a $5000 unit on the ground like that-glad I wasn’t the customer because that would have upset me greatly. Hopefully it has some type of protection on the bottom but even still I wouldn’t have been happy if I saw that. Otherwise, the install looked great!!

[@kamrenkong]

Awesome craftsmanship . I’m in the Nashville area teaching HVAC and running my own business. Keep up the great work and videos

[@jasonreitz6049]

I’ve been doing the same thing lately on the last couple changeouts as far as leaving the condenser in place so I can trickle nitro as I’m doing the air handler. Saves the time of sweating on a service gauge port on the line set. Nice work as always man!

[@sumokid]

We use thermal gel to prevent burning the paint on cabinets. But it works awesome just spray it on and your protected.

[@areminfoxxtrot1064]

7 years in the trade, working commercial refrigeration now, best decision I ever made. Also HILTI TOOLS FTW

[@mr.r9505]

Excellent quality of work!

[@batachel]

Great install! Only thing i don't like and wouldnt do is weld the dryer inside first. The desiccant material inside the dryer will be saturated by the time you cut the old condenser out, unbox the new one, place it, pipe it and weld it up. Better practice to make the dryer last in your hookup. But you do pretty work👍 looks good, cheers

[@CarlosGonzalez-yl4lt]

Great job my boy... your art is always on point

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job and video like always

[@ronnyoo9371]

You could turn the solder weld side ways to slide between the lines and protect one whole too and bottom side of the unit

[@raymonddebrooke55]

Nice clean work as usual.

[@jfoley1968jf]

Awesome job very professional!

[@rugged1987]

Nice work! Get some green shade 3 or 5 beother protect them eyes when braising , safety first brother. Keep up the awesome content

[@mdnite2941]

You do good quality work. I appreciate that and I know your customers do too! 👍

[@FrostBlueFire]

Is that your son? Either way, teach him this field, I'll forever thank my dad teaching me this field when I was young. He used to take me on jobs all the time, and I learned quite a bit, and then went to school and excelled more. Awesome work bro, keep it up.

[@yanruoji4673]

Excellent job ! I like you way ! Great !

[@SuperSkylighter]

Hey Zach...it’s cool seeing a youtuber that lives in my area. I saw you out and about today and I wanted to say hello but didn’t want to bother you(..and family)..In my past life I used to work in property management and have worked with some solid people in all trades..I left that world and moved to the Nashville area for music but given the current climate, I’ve recently taken an interest in this field. What are the chances of watching a few of your videos then seeing you out there in real world...maybe God is trying to tell me something..lol Anyway, keep up the great work. Love your filming style, and attention to detail! Blessings man!

[@jdsmith7780]

Nice work!

[@altyndom7039]

Those trance coil leak sometimes due to a flaw at the u bends where two dissimilar metals copper and aluminum come in contact and corrode over time, trance did address this issue and over a free replacement of just a coil by itself no coil box is included.

[@moisesroman7050]

Awesome vids!!!!

[@williammarik6159]

Nice work ! I love that nitrogen requlator.

[@hotfares1]

Hey your work ethic is awesome. I learn so much by watching you. I would live to see how you flush the line sets. Can you make a quick video on that. And if you have can you let me know thanks.

[@bradmironik6137]

Overall a good looking install. I see you had a lot of head room in that crawlspace to work with which is nice but the home builders give you barely enough of an access hole to the space. Thanks for the piping tips.

[@anthonyt.4812]

Stay safe out there man! Keep up the great content

[@MG19100]

Thats some good looking work sir

[@aaronlenowitz7801]

Always a good video 🤘

[@Sctronic209]

Nice looking job.

[@natepeterson7145]

Great job once again

[@jairoalonso5191]

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!

[@marjones69]

Good job bro, always clean.

[@mason122122goodman]

Looks good man. One thing I always try to do is get that unit under pressure ASAP. My old lead man was big on setting coil and outdoor unit brazing it in first then worrying about duct work later. But other than that clean as hell🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@lee-johnson]

Never seen an aux pan in crawl. I would just add an aux drain line float to stop unit along with pump safety switch. All else looks great

[@justwork_hvac]

Amazing work

[@kurtsoileau3156]

Good job buddy looks good I’m a one-man band in Louisiana. I’m down with a broken leg from an attic access not install correctly. Be safe out there

[@speckulator7516]

Kurt, just curious, if you don’t mind me asking, What part of LA are you in? If you’d rather not say I understand.

[@stevensonhvac9771]

Your videos are awesome man! That’s condensate pump wire through the fresh air made my head spin a little bit lol

[@joseverdugo7508]

You do neat work!

[@tangedal9983]

Great install. I had a question about your brazing. I was taught to put wet rags on opposite sides of where your brazing to prevent copper from melting rubber o rings and things like that. Is that necessary?

[@chadriddle3517]

The work looks good !

[@richardmitchell5129]

Zach, I know its not the most glorious part of the job could you show how you do some of your paperwork. I have worked for the same HVAC company for 18 yrs and paperwork has always been our weakest link. For me and my boss we are always behind in getting it done. I'm the type of person that likes doing thing correct I have made up my own sheets for keeping track of daily labor and also have come up with sheets for the daily jobs. If the have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Hopefully it will be helpful to someone else. Keep up the GREAT job. Getting ready to watch your VETO video.

[@The-H-inADHD]

Great video bro.

[@texasproud3332]

Great job enjoy the video

[@tomdoepke6446]

Nice work

[@MaMa-qh4dy]

Safety glasses when brazing or soldering.

[@marcoalvarez1276]

Clean Install!

[@hectorarroyo4672]

Good work

[@voltgan]

Nice work. Glad to see you're wearing a mask

[@Hvaceveryday]

Hey man quick question what brand and model nitrogen flow valve are you using in this video. That thing looks like it’s built solid. Looking for a replacement for my setup. Thanks for all your videos. Keep it up!

[@Fantasyphiller]

Can you put a link for the Milwaukee gloves? Those would really come in handy for me.

[@danielriverafigueroa]

👏🏻🙌🏻💪🏻 good job

[@elitespartan4085]

Very good install zack. Was the old AC unit an R-22? And replaced it with with an R-410A unit? Don’t know if you flush the refrigerant line set with a solvent to remove any R-22 oil. I love to use the R-11 flush bran and is amazing since it completely boils off. amazing video though

[@notblistex6577]

You should do a video of everything you have on and in your truck

[@bennettgulstrom603]

Great looking install! Question, why stick with a box plenum instead of a square to round off the coil?

[@batachel]

Airflow. Better design for the air to pressurize the plenum by hitting the end cap, then out through flex

[@customcomfortprosllc8045]

Nice install as always! Have you ever had any condensation problems on the outlet of that Ameristar/Trane coil?

[@MrTacsgt]

Good Stuff! Which XR unit was that?

[@Froggability]

There are ways to deburr horizontal or Upfacing

[@ricothomas7]

Yeah that's tight logo.

[@stefandomeier1911]

I love your videos man. I'm interested in starting my HVAC career at 29 years old, ready to quit my job in finance that I've been in for 5 years! Big change, but a much needed one and I'm very excited to embark on this new journey. My question for anyone out there is... what is the best way to get started? Should I be looking at Tech Schools/Classes as a first step? Or would a Union pay for something like that? Appreciate any insight! - Stefan

[@johnisraelhvac2019]

Zach I love your channel, videos and your work bro!! But I gotta ask why a Ameristar coil with the Trane. I know Ameristar was in Trane suppliers before run tru buts it not the same.

[@All4ChristNone4me]

Also what kind of foil tape you use. The stuff they give us does not stick to metal.

[@stevennihipali3607]

I'm buying a 20k system... includes 10" sprayed insulation, and duct sealing... that a good deal? It's a "greenspeed" brand, reme halo and whole house surge protection

[@zack9912000]

A little high but not terrible

[@jamesc1664]

Hey would love to talk love yr work and I too do it right..watching you let’s me know I’m not the only one that cares about their work

[@jtalonrider4769]

You don't tape the open pipe so nothing get in there until you put the new unit? And where i can get that tool to bend the pipes

[@ezekielespinosa9797]

Hey man, I have a question... do you install all of the systems you sell? How do you stay efficient that way? Running service and install, seems like a lot of your time that could be spent selling more equipment is spent on installing something you already sold....

[@walterm2871]

what camera do you use to record?

[@makemenvyme]

How do you like the Fieldpiece Wireless Gauges with Temp Probes?? I'm trying to decide between them or the 2nd Gen Testo Wireless Gauges set... I would greatly appreciate any feedback... Thank You!!

[@joseluna69jl]

What purge regulator are you using?

[@sethdavis1493]

Did you use duct lining in supply plenum?

[@jackmule1572]

How long did you travel for this installation?

[@Chris-ru3ri]

Was the old unit R22? Did you flush the lines?

[@pauladams9565]

You make HVAC work look so smooth. How long have you been doing this?

[@tennesseehvac670]

What is that your using to wipe your arms???

[@lamont300073]

What kind of camera do you use

[@viston100]

What are those wipes?

[@craighvac1808]

Safety glasses when brazing, not worth losing an eye over!

[@MMAisBESTT]

Yes

[@ThePete2432]

How?

[@MMAisBESTT]

sean peterson sometimes there can be pop when welding and it will send metal shards into your face. It happened to one of my leads 2 weeks ago. Had to have 50 micro pieces of metal removed from his eyes. Was very painful, luckily didn’t lose his vision

[@ThePete2432]

Matt thanks for the reply, I guess I’ve been lucky. I’ve had flames roll out when attempting to un-braze a coil for warranty, but never had anything bad happen. I will definitely wear the glasses now

[@BoriPR82]

Hi, I have an old ipc furnace, oil. I want to upgrade. Should I upgrade to another oil furnace or convert to propane?

[@eddiefox6738]

What part of Tennessee?

[@michaelstewart354]

You didn’t the condenser on a pad?

[@stanwei157]

Is R22 system installed?

[@ryanmurphy8272]

What brand core tools are those? Like the videos👍🏽

[@Freonleon]

The condensate pump wire running threw the fresh air for the 90%
