I used to work for an oil pipeline company and we had to pig our pipes regularly.

[@chadsutton3499]

We invested in walkie talkies, been to many jobs where phone wouldn't get reception in attic and it's nice not having to call, just hit the button and talk. Thought it was silly but after the first job we used it on we use them all the time now.

[@jph77]

The good ones are the radios where you can clip the receiver over your shoulder and clip walkie-talkie to your belt for easy access. Would highly recommend for Mikey Pipes and team. Similar to what cops use.

[@xlostf8x348]

That evap coil is identical to the run tru/ameristar coils. The condenser looks like them too except the top is just a little different. I’ve been thinking about putting a Bosch in my house.

[@arodandjeter1]

Ameristar and oxbox. All the run trus I’ve put in have been the trane aluminum coils. But I noticed that the Bosch had a lot of similarities to the ameristar. Kinda weird😂

[@hfeng1995]

Hi, Mike. Great video. You are such a treasure to hvac community. Currently I hired a hvac company to install a Boash ids 1.0 for my house. The original control wire from coil to condenser is two wires used for AC. The hvac company install a transformer to take care of C wire. After two control wires are connected, system runs fine in dual fuel mode with exception of that furnace does not kick in during defrost mode. Could you please let me know whether it is possible to use two wire to run Bosch condenser with help of the transformer in condenser. Or. a new set of control wire needed to be run.

You probably already know but with the Bosch if the old pipe is 7/8 and you put in a 3 ton which is normally 3/4 you can use the 7/8 as long as it’s 40’ or under

Great job! Is the Bosch IDS2.0 + furnace good for the weather of Toronto Canada? 3T AC and 80K BTU furnace system is enough for a 3500 feet house? Planning to replace the HVAC system for my house, but hesitate between traditional Carrier AC+furnace and Bosch IDS2.0. Could you give me some suggestion? Thank you!

Hi, I decided to go with the same system( Furnace and HeatPump) both Bosch. If you don’t mind asking how much total with installation will cost roughly.

[@Pau1ys]

it looks nice ,,,, but... I would really like to see that beautiful furnace up on 4 inch cat blocks.

[@angelc8420]

I have question for the furnace did you guys have to level it 1/2 inch forward or keep level ? Because i liked the Bosch equipment but i was kind of thrown off when Bosch said that there furnaces need to be tilt forward anywhere from 1/2 to 3/4 inch to help them drain. Just curious that’s all

[@devman8youtube908]

Hey Mike I have a question about the surge protector. Where are those connected into the disconnect, we use those on all our installs but I am young and have never been on an install and never seen how these are installed so if ya could give me the best explanation to the best of your ability that would be great. Thanks for another great video today!

[@devman8youtube908]

[@mattbilodeau2433]

[@AdamLawler]

Why is the balance point so high? With such expensive gas I would think closer to 25f would be ideal.

[@josephmartin3557]

Mike what is your code for tru teck tools.

[@danottaway3219]

I watched a video from a year ago on Bosch and they were talking about it not controlling the humidity correctly on a single stage system. Mainly because the heat pump runs at so many speeds and the furnace would only be a single stage blower vs the variable speed blower in the Bosch air handler. Have you had any issues with this after installing to a gas furnace with a single stage blower?

[@danottaway3219]

That’s good to know!

[@krayziejman]

I have this same system including the Bosch furnace, and it's great, but my biggest complaint is that the blower runs in second stage speed always on both heat and cool. I notice the blower is using about double the electricity of my old variable/modulating furnace which negates some the efficiency from the heat pump. My installer says that only one blower speed is possible, but I am suspect. I am using a Honeywell IAQ Prestige thermostat.

[@daisy5644]

Following your question, i have the bosch bova 39 2.0 case coil is MAC3036BNTD my furnace is a goodman modulating gas valve and variable speed motor, pro one thermostat all set up for duel fuel, but when on just a/c it doesnt seem to cool down my small home, does fine in heat mode, and it wont automatically switch the emergency heat, im kind of stumped the guy that installed it said it was a great set up, he is no longer alive and there doesnt seem to be any tech’s that have bosch experience

[@jondough2708]

Is there an LP kit for the BGH96? I've watched so many BOSCH videos the last 2 days, and I feel like I've seen one where you mentioned an LP conversion, but I have no idea if I'm making it up because I want a BOSCH system and need an LP kit

[@optimusprime1634]

Mikey, can I pair a 20 Seer bosch heat pump 2.0 with a hydrocoil (using hot water from my furnace) for hot air in the winter. How does that work? Does the bosch shut down and send a signal to the furnace to kick on? I have a air handler in my attic which probably will have to be a Bosch handler 9currently a carrier).

why not Fast stat 500 it ? It gives you 4 extra wires.Its extremely efficient piece of equipment why only run it in first stage ? Is it fair to the customers? Might as well just install 14 SEER system with 96% efficient furnace.

[@philipneri9482]

Explain the “piggy’s” to me….and what pipes were being cleaned, Mikey!..Thanks!….appreciate you feeding us!

[@FullSendPrecision]

The pipes are the copper lineset that connect the indoor and outdoor unit. The pig is just a foam plug that gets "shot" through the pipe to clean out any old oil.

[@Chris2745100]

Are all variable speed blower motors ECM?

[@HappyHealthyHVAC]

I believe so. The two types of ECM motors used in hvac systems is the "constant torque" and the "variable speed". And the lower seer equipment have PSC motors with a capacitor but are not an ECM type motor. Those three are the most commonly offered options available today

[@mph5896]

Depends on where the thermostat is. You might have to poke holes in the drywall to run the new wiring in which the customer may not want to have to deal with.
