How I Replaced a HVAC Split Heat Pump By MYSELF!!

Is your hvac unit ready for an upgrade? In this video I show how a company of one replaces a 4 ton heat pump split system as well as relocate the outdoor condensing unit to the side of the home. The existing heating and air conditioning unit had a faulty circuit board in the outdoor unit and a leaking indoor coil. This is how I replace a hvac split system. Hope you enjoy the video.

The Work is CLEAN from Start to Finish. Excellent workmanship. That's how it's done brotha.

[@QualityHVACR]

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

[@zacgaylor1518]

Great work and clean install. How come you didn’t use nitrogen when you were brazen? I would have put a inline safety switch in the primary also. Keep up the good work. I enjoy your videos and I’m leaning tips and trick from you too, thank you.

[@terrymanderfeld7108]

Nice job, pal

[@andersmilan6937]

sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my login password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me!

[@timrutherford7582]

Just watched the video and felt compelled to comment I’ve been in the HVAC and Market refrigeration field for 15 years and I can honestly say I’ve never seen someone take such pride in this trade, your craftsmanship and attention to detail is something that really is something to admire. Keep up the good work!

[@AB-these-handles-are-stupid]

Yea he really does. I've been a union and jon-union plumber for many years and this dude really does love it.

[@sro1020]

Strong work man! Sad to say this craftsmanship and work ethic is rare these days in the trades.

[@prasadk984]

The one thing that impressed me the most is you clean up before you work and after you work. Cool

[@a.t.7021]

Your the man buddy. Finally, someone that cares about doing a good quality job that also looks good. Thank you!

[@37dcaldart]

So clean, I watch this to feel better before I goto work and watch how NOT to do it. Thank you for my pre-work zen.

[@dogman2874]

I just used this for a 403lb rheem gas pack. Worked like a charm over rough clumpy grass and pine straw. Even just making subtle shifts was easy. Excellent idea.

[@andrewchagollan1679]

Dude I think that was the cleanest jobs I have ever seen. I’m a new licensed HVAC contractor here in California, and doing all the work as clean as it was by yourself is inspiring!

[@tomwardzala4240]

As a tech with 16 years service experience it’s my goal to be able do such a clean equipment installation

[@9tomato9]

I know nothing about HVAC, but what I do know is that I see a really conscientious, meticulous young man doing a fantastic job installing that system. You would be welcome in my home anytime, and I hope you really make a lot of $$$ in that industry, you deserve to be very successful in your field. A new subscriber here!!

[@joe429t]

My favorite thing was after you connected the pipe on the return you took a few steps back to look at it. I tell every appreciate to do the same. The eye don’t lie. Nice clean solo install sir.

[@shonigman]

Very refreshing to see your natural skill and attention to detail. Having had some of the worst quality HVAC work done at my own home has lead me to look to real pros like you to restore my faith in the craft of HVAC. They should use your videos when training new HVAC techs. I don't think the average person realizes how many different skills are required to perform your craft.

[@vivekg4983]

This guy deserves more subscribers. Always does a neat job. Keep up the good work dude !

[@QualityHVACR]

Thank you so much! Very nice of you.

[@jmc1771]

Proud to have you in our industry!

[@JOSEPH-b7b2r]

Wow, you look like a real professional 👍🏼

[@David-fi3iz]

That install was super clean . You do great work especially being a one man show bro .

[@QualityHVACR]

Thx man! 💪🏼

[@baitcasterdisaster8981]

Man that’s the cleanest install I’ve ever seen in my life ! All I can say is WOW! I’ve been an installer /tech for 15 years and I thought I did good work but after seeing this video, I gotta step my game up. You take pride in your work and it shows. Keep up the awesome work and keep them videos coming bro.

[@zacharylee303]

You can really tell you take pride in your work... Good work man!!!

[@QualityHVACR]

Thx man! I appreciate you saying that.

[@coreyott8838]

Im a HVAC contractor who just starting following you and im very impressed by your craftsmanship. Very clean and professional.

[@jessupd93]

HVAC contractor from FL. I can appreciate that workmanship you put into your jobs. Keep it up brotha 👊💪💯

[@williamgraham5971]

I've been out of school and on the job in Nashville for a month and a half. With a service guy 3 weeks, and starting my 6th week on install. I can't believe how clean that is. That's perfection. A lot of hard work and craftsmanship. I only hope to be half as good as you. Superb job man!

[@coreymadden3650]

Im an installer for almost 2 years great install brother set the bar high!

[@carmenmsimmonssimmons2405]

First let me say I liked your video! I'm trying to do my homework before we get a new heat pump unit installed. Your video was the most informative.

[@kens97sto171]

I'm not an HVAC tech. But as a consumer that install looks extremely clean. Everything's neat and tidy You don't have wires hanging all over the place or extra copper lines dangling in places. I also think I noticed the Nashville skyline in the background there. Love that place.

[@ph0enjx777]

We need more guys like you out in the Industry. Great Job!

[@QualityHVACR]

Thx Jake! That’s an awesome compliment!!

[@maxsantana1]

The work is very nice. All symmetrical and clean. I’ve never done this work before, but I can tell you do everything right with with a lot of details.

[@dfwhvac]

Amazing craftsmanship. Linesets looked incredible. As others have pointed out though, Goodman outdoor units have a filter drier installed from factory inside the condensing unit , so the drier at the indoor unit was not necessary. I don’t see it causing any problems when running , but that’s still not advised to have two on a single circuit .

[@bg5167]

Work was super clean and lots of info for anyone on any level of there career keep em coming!!

[@bobboscarato1313]

I like the excellent work you do and how you clean up work area as you go along; my only objection is the very loud volume of the music; I had to pull my headphones away to prevent ear damage; I'm 85 years old.

[@Thunderbird_918]

Those hockey pucks are good for finding Frostie the Evap ☃️ as well. That job looked clean I like the little leaf blower the little details add up.

[@Mira-The-Cat]

Man. Your work is BEAUTIFUL! You are the model for solid work. Attention to detail is flawless

[@nlh8162]

Good clean install The only thing we have to do different down here is insulate the main drain line with each 1-1/8 x 1/2 tubing insulation through the P-Trap and over to the drain line connection or about 18 ft if it's in an attic but that's just our area South Texas. Also because of the type of soil we have down here after we level the ground take a dry sack of kwikset concrete down on the ground before your pad on top, You don't have to water it in the moisture in the ground soaks up into the concrete this keeps it stable over time in our area the condenser happens to sink on side or the other making the condensing unit crooked this process fixes the tilted condenser. I learned that from a guy who sets giant water tanks. Excellent job like all those toys you have.

[@number1pappy]

All I can say is ,WOW! That's a nice professional looking install! I'm currently taking bids from hvac contractors to do an install in my home. You, sir, have made this task harder for me as the two that I've received so far .Their photos of their past installs look nothing like this! I feel now that I'm going to have to go with the second best. Lol! You're an asset to your trade, sir! Great job! 👍

[@christiancatheyshowers]

Your giving that Goodman the best chance possible for survival great job

[@IndeedIAm]

Got an install tomorrow, gonna stop by home depot to get a copper bender to make my line set look good like you did. Awesome work.

[@davidg.montano439]

I love a man who takes pride in his work, great job bro keep it up. Teaching these trade newbies best practices.

[@ThatGuyFromArizona]

Really clean install... I like the confidence and professionalism.

[@p.schulte2466]

Great job! As a home inspector it's really nice to see a perfect install like this...seeing the secondary overflow pipe done correctly is so refreshing (lately I've been seeing a lot of installs completely missing them). Again, you did everything perfectly. You're the man.

[@javierguzman172]

I'm encouraged that there are techs out there like you. Great job. I've been in this business for 30 years and I teach at a community college

[@serialseatsniffer5610]

I will follow everybody else and agree that you did a fantastic job here. And it looks like all in one day? Impressive. And on top of that, you managed to film it all, and then take more time to edit it for us. Kudos to you, great work!

[@lhendrick1]

Wow, this was so much better than all the hacks out there doing it sloppy.. Thanks!

[@retsbew8954]

Awesome job!! Who could possibly give this a thumbs down!? Fantastic quality, and pride in his workmanship!!!

[@thasetharoo3208]

[@MaplesEnvironmental]

Excellent workmanship. Very clean. Superb attention to detail. Well Done

[@danieltheteacher]

My comment is that the work you do is almost impossible for me to do at this moment. I'm starting my 3rd month at Florida Tech DeLand, Florida for HVAC. I enjoy your videos. In time I will learn to do the same. Thank you.

[@braedenbarnes5073]

Any HVAC installer should strive to install like you my man. kick ass🦾

[@IslandbreezeMechanical]

Nice job. I work for myself and by myself most of the time. I have recently teamed up with another solo contractor and we help each out on installs. Saves my back.

[@QualityHVACR]

I hear ya. I do the same thing every so often.

Super clean install!! Take pride in that work ur doing ur thing man!

Excellent craftsmanship; reminds me of my days in the business.

[@jamesboberg]

Wow, you are really a good job and neat, clean from start to finish. I can't believe that you made the metal sheet 90 degrees like a curve for an air return to the furnace. Well done job.

[@gregclifton3858]

Beautiful workmanship!

[@guruouroborosbukelenakamot8498]

Very clean. Great job. What would be great is to make a video on where you can get some of these skillsets ( welding) etc and also introduction to tools ( copper bending, copper cutting, pump types, how to charge refrigerant into the system etc). Would be useful for a newbie.

[@kskrawler]

It's nice to see Goodman installed properly. Good, clean work.

[@QualityHVACR]

For sure! Any brand equipment can fail if install isn’t done right. Thx for watching!

[@wesleysullivan8047]

this was very satisfying for me to watch. having been in the trade for 8 months and having seen so much hacker work, I appreciated how clean and ordered this entire install was.

[@gregob-team4642]

My name is Greg I am in my fourth term of HVAC school at Central New Mexico Community College in Albuquerque can't wait to graduate this year in May and get into the field and put my skill sets to use in everyday real-world experiences.

[@jeremysolis3185]

Excellent work my brother!! Start to finish, no stone unturned 👍🏼 That’s how it’s done. Very professional.

[@timothysmith7700]

Wow I’d hire you. Finally someone with attention to detail more than me. Awesome work

[@scotta9114]

Amazing install. Don't think anyone would do a clean install like that our here. Question below: Speaking of installs, 10 years ago we had a Bryant 4-Ton Scroll, 15 SEER Heat Pump installed. It's a model 265A. We never used the Heat Pump side, only AC. It cools really well. Our FAG Furnace ignitor failed so I switched to Heat Pump. The outside air was 45 degrees and the ducts were putting out 82 degree air, inlet around 70. We found the #67 metering piston taped to the electrical cover of the outdoor unit. Looked at our old paperwork and they noted - "Removed Piston from Condensor, not required for AC". But this IS a Heat Pump. The indoor matched coil has a TXV but no TXV outside. Could not having the Piston installed be causing mediocre Heat Pump performance? The Company that installed it is no longer in business. Sadly, the Owner got Brain Cancer. :-( Thanks!

[@JB-pw9sp]

Good lord you make it look easy. The attention to detail impressed me also your skills on bending cooper near Air Handler well done!!!

[@CHRISDOESHVAC24]

Those old hp26/hs26 Lennox units were great, a lot of them are still going strong in my service area. A big company put loads on them in in the 90s.

Thank you I really appreciate that!

[@ethelryan257]

I really like your use of ample sealant. It's on our list of 'don't skimp on this' items we give our new people. Number one being 'how do you know fer sur, fer sure that the power you think you flipped to off stays off? I've handled more the plumbing side of the family business, but that one is the scariest on-site avoidable risk my brothers and I have dealt with.

[@TheCarterHour]

You make furnace's look awesome, keep it up!

[@kevinduke1136]

I'm about to start an HVAC program I love watching this guy! I hope I can get this good one day. By the way I'm starting late I'm 30 😅. I was in the army for 7 years and figured this would be an awesome career so I wouldn't be stuck in a factory. And eventually work independently as you do 👍 anyway thanks man.

[@masonmoreno4490]

Love your videos and craftsmanship

[@AJAJ-tg5ym]

Great video. My 2013 American standard compressor went out. My thinking is to have the whole outside unit replaced not just the compressor. We only purchased the house 90 days ago. It passed inspection just fine. I just wanted to see the process. You are very talented.

[@christophermiller1520]

I’m always dealing with stairs and long ass walk ups with stairs outside. That was nice and easy just wheel it’s on in. Nice work as always

[@juliocastaneda7952]

Impressive craftsmanship! Just came across your channel, great videos. I got my license about 4 years ago. Out here in Arizona, about 80% of split system applications the air handler/furnace coil set ups are in the attic so I had to hire full time help lol

[@prestonmire5509]

I’m surprised you don’t have a helper helping you sir awesome install

[@creativetradesman6833]

That’s one of the best looking installs I’ve ever seen. Incredible attention to detail. I gotta know how long it took you. I struggle with this same thing on installs. Whether to bring in help or not and if I think I could get one done by myself. It’s always a tough call. Time vs. Money.

[@airerescueairandheating4597]

You do a super professional job on your line sets; congrats, instead of using scrim type insulation I've used flex by sliding out the flex as I slide it over a 90 or a section of straight duct! But all in all very nice and professional.

[@moorescomfortsystemsheatin6068]

Good looking install. I also install Amana and haven’t had any problems. I won’t to see the start up of the equipment and system pressures. Spring and summer show super heat and sub cooling . Love the bends in copper lines. I have yellow jacket bender and swagger. They work great. Great job!

[@QualityHVACR]

Thank you! I plan on doing a video just to show a proper start up procedure. Thx for watching!

[@SUPERHEATx10]

Damn man. Just seeing how clean everything was done was super satisfying! Awesome work!

[@takismantas1159]

It's amazing how most people do a "clean" installation when on camera:). I hope you do the same when not being filmed. Overall a very tidy installation. Personally I would had change the return to a rectangle duct so I can terminate on the handler below the filter. The round return you put in place comes partially above the air handler's filter. Also on the vacuum process, regardless if its a new system with a new lineset you need to purge it and make sure you do a decay test. Yes its all new but don't forget you opened the system to make the connections. Air and humidity is in your lineset and possibly oxidization if you didn't flow nitrogen during brazing (it wasn't clear on your video). Despite all my picky comments its a NICE install and I wish there were more servicemen out there to do similar installs instead of "bothering" installs destined to fail the next season.

[@baitcasterdisaster8981]

Just a quick tip: those Goodman units come with a filter drier in the condensing unit right by the heat mode piston so you don’t have to add one. Typically, the units that need a filter drier added usually come with it strapped to the condensing unit. I know Trane, Carrier and all the off brand Carriers strap them to the outdoor unit because most people put them outside unfortunately. I think they should always be installed inside whenever possible to keep them out of the elements to prevent rusting.
