Today I replaced an old Goodman heat pump package unit with a new 18.5 SEER Bosch variable speed heat pump package unit. The existing ducts were in the reverse orientation with no room to cross them over in the crawl space, so I made a crossover box. I think it turned out great! Hope you enjoy!

I’m a simple man, I see a Quality HVACR video I watch

[@Boozefly]

that box you made to replace the return flex is genius. ill remember that one.

[@xslabcabxhearsex]

I have done the same when ducts where backwards.just a tip from an old sheet metal mechanic.when you have a long cover like this put standing seems on top every 12 inches.it looks really nice and if snow accumulate on top it won’t bend it.your work looks great and thinking and finding a solution to a problem

[@blakeperson9189]

Zac, great job man. I’m glad someone in the trade appreciates quality and can demonstrate how it’s done. Keep it up.

[@itchierichie4446]

In the past I have added on to the duct and crisscrossed the ducts to make my hookups. I like this idea way better! Cleaner look and less restrictive on airflow. Love your work!!

[@15thompa]

That crossover box was 🔥. Love these videos. You wouldn’t believe how many ideas I’ve drawn up that were inspired by your work. Respect from NW Ohio!

[@dillonramanan2329]

Nice work!! I couldn’t even tell it was running it was super quiet. I never really worked on a Bosch unit. Good quality install.

Do you mind sharing how much you paid for the unit. Thank you

Yeah, that's good craftsmanship right there! Good job brother! 🇺🇸👏🏼

[@tomdoepke6446]

Nice Bosch install, we've installed three of the Bosch pack's so far and have had zero issues. Customer's love them. Only thing I'd do different is add a cleanout on the condensate drain for ease of maintenance. We do a T instead of a 90 elbow right before it goes into the p-trap then add a cap on it. Makes blowing out the p-trap super easy

[@josiahpierson3636]

And a vent after the trap

[@hvacgoat9451]

Shit, it looks like it just drains outside in the dirt. I wouldn't even glue the drain. Then just take it apart everytime it needs to be cleaned out

Excellent installation! The crossover box was very ingenious! I guess you could have made a custom divider inside the box to achieve the same result but it would have taken more time to fabricate it. Sometimes simple is better!

At least it’s not a over and under (Am standard Trane )package. They knew what they were doing when they made the over and under package unit you just as well bite the bullet and pay that extra thousand dollars to swap it with same thing

Awesome install! Everything I'm seeing about the Bosch's has me leaning to replacing my dying 18yr old Goodman heat pump package unit with one. Do you have any thoughts/ideas about whole home filtration (electronic filter) with a package unit? I'm seeing most all of them are designed to be mounted between furnace and ductwork.

[@hvacgoat9451]

Looks good guys. I've never seen Bosch air conditioning before. It looks extremely similar to the carrier package unit.

[@ronk9830]

But likely costs three times as much.

[@rjhvac6338]

Clean bro

[@mr.g937]

How do these packaged units compare to a conventional indoor air handler / outside condenser? Wouldn't you want the conditioned air to live in a conditioned space inside (or a cool basement) instead of the dead heat outside?

[@sulki8697]

Nice install. Curious what the static pressure is on the return with that box you added 🤔 Looks good though👌 Also have not seen an inverter package unit though. You'll have to keep us posted on the performance of it.

[@staticpressurenerd5182]

I was wondering the exact same thing. There is probably a lot of turbulence in that return box!

[@1shagg420]

I'd love see how well those Bosch units do. I see RE Michel is selling them but I've never seen anyone with one or ask for one.

[@brandonprice3927]

Just curious about the cost range on the Bosch package units. It may not be too long before I may be needing to do a change out at my folks place. Anything you can offer would help.

[@shenoyglobal]

what do you think of putting these in florida coastal homes? where humidity and corrosion is a big factor..

[@SkipsTransAm2002]

Great looking unit and great job!! hey Zach did you take down your video of your package unit dolly can’t seem to find it?

[@kerrydavis2919]

I would like some info on the dolly as well.

[@baitcasterdisaster8981]

What did you have mastic taped to the inside bottom of the box? Just curious. Also that was a great idea making that box to cross the ducts! Clean install as always

I want to know also about the thing he taped down on the box...

[@shgreene88]

Hey, I really liked the video. I am a local residential HVAC tech in Southeast PA and have a 13 year old Carrier package unit at my house. I want to install one of these. I was wondering if you could give me any pointers. Any help would be huge, thanks.

[@enriquecalderon4356]

So far how do you like those units. How much more do you think customers will save compare to a regular heat pump.

[@brascod.9773]

That 3 wheel dolly is awesome! Can you share what brand it is and where you got it?

[@Imluisfermin]

Exelent!

[@JoseJB0]

Where do you buy the Bosch units? I'm in Nashville. 👍

[@FlyEaglesFly19111]

I have just one question? Why not have changed out that disconnect? Say in a week it drops voltage and you ruin a new compressor. To me doing a change out a disconnect,and or breakers are always part of a change out. Its covering your butt. The box was a good way to get out of a pinch. Why not use pipe and a canvas inside of it. I suggest cause if the outer jacket breaks down it will get stuck in the coil. Just an out of the box thought.

[@HVACRDUDE]

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@kendallsclan1854]

Was thinking the same thing

[@igorpiedade]

I'm buying a townhome that the HVAC system is this package unit. The unit installed has about 15 years and replacing it will be one of my first projects for the new house. I'm surprised that has some 13-14 SEER units pretty cheap ( about 2K ) but man, I really would invest in a higher efficiency unit like this bosh. Could you give me the model number?

[@w.miller7282]

Great job, I personally prefer gas heating .

[@Demy26]

She’s a beauty

[@craigissod6027]

I am hoping you monitor your comments - here is my problem! My package unit (2003 ICP) is LOUD LOUD LOUD inside the house! There is nothing wrong with the unit.....it's just that the combined noises, probably mostly the distribution fan and air noise, makes for 55 db (way too loud) in the bedrooms which are on that same wall. Have you had problems like this? Having a super quiet outdoor unit will help a little, but I need quiet indoors. Do you think just getting a newer unit (any sort) will automatically be much quieter indoors? It's hard to sleep 2ith 55 db on and off.

[@Brad.W]

My question is what is the price of this Bosch package unit if you know? I'm in the process of shopping around on upgrading my 4 ton split system on my 2600sqft mobile home to a 5-ton heat pump air unit. Long story short an energy audit done and was informed that my AC was too small for my square footage which I have seen in my energy bills set at 76° the thing ran or runs all day and half the night just to keep it at that temperature humidity is staying super high in the house my air company is suggesting a packaged unit cuz I'm not really caring for because it is not a variable speed unit and apparently they do not offer one and since I have a 17.4 kwh solar system installed on my home I am really trying to save energy and would prefer to have a variable speed unit they are rebuilding me from the ground up new air handler duct system and new heat pump I'm really trying to save some energy here.

[@rick83642]

How much is a unit 3/5 tone.

[@user-fj3oq5zr6q]

why would you not shorten the flex duct? the longer the run the less airflow is achieved/ flex duct runs 20 % less than rigid. does anyone ever know anything about airflow and static pressure.

[@destainn]

not sure where you learned that but your local code official is gonna have some questions I would like to see the manual D on that duct system myself.

[@aquattadomdren6760]

I understand what you're referring to, on all the levels, and he likely does too. But a lot of people don't. I'm not here to demonize anyone or assume what someone knows, or what they're okay with sleeping at night. BUT, knowing how to build sheet metal and having access to a break and Pittsburgh is really the only efficient way to provide quality in a retrofit scenario. A thorough assessment setting the job up, in my professional opinion, would've been the best defense against this, now opened can of worms. Could've easily showed up prepared with rec duct and some D 90s, and got the customer to pay with the thorough analysis and proper advice. As an installer, I only bring any of it up to help save face in the future, as I'm sure some cost was ate here, unless there's a decent amount of padding which is a whole other topic.
