Good looking job, brings back a lot of memories for me. I wish I had a dollar for every house I roughed in over the years.

[@WinsteadClimateControl]

Awesome job. Your customers are lucky to have you do their work.

[@lanesairconditioning]

Chuck; great video, great thinking. Really enjoyed your comments. I'm very impressed. Thanks for taking the time to show everyone.

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@raganoheatingacinc.4643]

Some of the best work I ever seen! Awesome job those homeowners are lucky to have you installing their system.

[@ynot6781]

You need to see more work , preferably custom quality work . This is very average side jobber work

[@realestateservicessaleshea99]

@@ynot6781 I bet you've never done 1 job on your own! And don't even know how to size a job! Man I thought I was a keyboard super tech?😂🤣🥃🥃🥃🍺🍺😂🤣🤔 Stay safe. Retired keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.

Nice to see someone that takes pride in their work. Nice Job!

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

Thanks for the nice words!

[@SteveSam66]

Chuck. Nice work. Good video. The drywall lift already paid for itself.

[@prveteran]

Good old american ingenuity. Very creative thinking of a solution using drywall hoist. Awesome video.

[@fredmeebley]

Nice work, I like your sheetrock lift idea. I have always used the tie down straps as well. I have found using 4 Erwin quick clamps on the joists are faster than running screws in the joists, and they support the straps just fine. Great video, thanks for sharing.

[@Straycurrent]

Coming along nicely. Thanks for showing step by step -- it's a lot to film and edit but it's great instruction for us. Glad to see the hoist worked so well.

[@richardmitchell5129]

Chuck that is an outstanding idea. I install duct work my self and by myself. I use depending on the height of the basement I use either a 6' or 8' ladder to that I have add a plywood t-brace that is adjustable to within an inch of the floor trusses with the duct on top. Then to make up the inch I just bring the legs of the ladder together till the duct rests against the floor trusses. I call it my third hand, I have used it for many years. When your done with it just unscrew it and you have your latter back. I like your idea with the drywall lift cause you can start low and raise it up. Also before I forget it great demonstration on insulating duct. Now one on KZbin has even touched this subject. Keep up the great work as always, I enjoy watching all the main HVAC guys and learn different ideas to make my work better and faster.

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Richard Mitchell Thanks for watching! The lift was sweet on this particular job.

[@gonzgarr1592]

hell off a nice job with those drywall lifts and great sheetmetal work

[@dcrickerson9775]

Very nice work! Really enjoy your video's.

[@frankgall6]

That Sheetrock tool works perfect!! Great idea

[@NorCal-refrigeration]

Fantastic video! Nice work.

[@johnboykin3128]

I used a drywall lift before too... For ceiling drywall... Cheaper than a hired hand, and better conversation

[@nicholasceea4109]

Nice work Chuck. Your vids are awesome!

[@johnisraelhvac2019]

You are the man Chuck!! Smart thinking on that lift!! Job looks great!!

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Israelhvac Thanks John. It's definitely a back saver!

[@joeyf504327]

nice duct work. They are lucky to have your talent and care!

[@willietorres3469]

Beautiful job Chuck.

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Willie Torres Thanks Willie!

[@rogerroger5585]

Very informative...Awesome video. Thanks. The tour at the beginning of the video was cool. The "biscuit cutter" patent made me LOL. Keep up the good work man.

[@jonnymac31]

Pro level quality man. Thanks for the share.

[@jpraimundo4100]

Nice work Chuck.

[@jhhvacplumbing1944]

Chuck my house is coming along very nice thank you

[@MrTrailerman2]

We don't need no stinkin' duct jack. Looking forward to the finished product Chuck.

[@foxfamilyheatingandaircond4696]

Real nice. A lot of work!

[@BillyKnoth]

sweet work you do Chuck!

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+BK HVAC (Billy Knoth) Thanks Billy!

[@skiprope536]

Well gollllllie. Considering the aw shucks...this was a great video. TY

[@user-sx7tf4lg5i]

Heck yes!! You actually show your work and do a honest to god 'how to' video!! You made my day. 90% of these yahoos doing how to videos dont show how to do spit, they're just sissies doing video diaries hoping for attention. Thanks for being real.

[@phillipjoy8191]

Great job always nice to keep filter grills the same for home owner

[@Newyorkgardener585]

Good video like the drywall lift for hanging main trunk line

[@walterbrunswick]

Just found your videos. Nice work. Neat idea with the hoist. I too like to work alone. That way I know everything is done right and with the proper care. But sometimes helpers can be good. Even with the mundane things like unloading/loading/carrying things back and forth.

[@harrydickson4575]

Great job Chuck And Video !!!

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Harry Dickson Thanks Harry!

[@1984juant]

beautiful job

[@jdavis72]

Great video. I always wondered about using a sheet rock lift for ductwork, whether square or round.

[@barryhunt5357]

great way to help yourself Chuck !!!!!!!!

[@minnesotasalamander5913]

Nice tips and work.

[@ccthepope]

Nice work.

[@muniznick]

Working smart, good use of the drywall lift, no more wrestling with the duct, save your energy/back, it will pay for itself quick.

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+muniznick I consider it paid for on this one job lol. Thanks for watching!

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Great Job

[@lowmanagain]

dude I been thanking the Lord for that drywall jack too lol.

[@greg6107]

Thanks, great video.

[@aircooledtx]

Nice lift, we always use 520. But with that small duct sheet rock bangee works great.

[@RobHVAC]

I like it Chuck. Nice job

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Rob HVAC Thanks Rob!

[@maxeyac]

Love it!

[@OcRefrig]

Good Vid.

[@deanmartin1966]

Nice job

[@AustinMichael]

Only thing that would worry me on this is that if that lineset ever needs replaced you are going to be tearing out alot of wall.

[@cristian01231]

Gloves is a must with insulation for me.

[@samzeletzki8339]

Metal strap on duct wrap. Give it a few years to cut through or start to sweet. I like to put some board in between.

[@marjones69]

lol...goog job Chuck...onemight even say, genius.

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

Thanks! Lol

[@chadmerritt5557]

Just curious why you don't make that many videos anymore? I live in Bristol Tennessee so it's nice seeing someone create content from around here.

[@sman5877]

nice work

[@LOOKWHATISEEHERE]

Pretty darn slick! I like it. Quick question-I noticed that there were spots where you could have used top take offs and kept your flex runs up inside the joist cavities. Just wondering why you didn't? Thanks.

[@leonelramirez3231]

Nice job. Why do you run exhaust and fresh air pipe from basement to roof. You cant come out the side of the house? Also what do you use to fram cielung boots. Were those drives or some special metal? Thx again for vids.

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Bonus Room

[@arod_4724]

not hating on you or anything because you do good work 💯but you should add a little more tape to lay those pieces down and staple it too for a strong hold because the tape comes off eventually trust me lol

[@joeykohout8710]

Good all days of hanging duck work. I remember when I first got into this racket I would do duck installations on new construction jobs like that. But that's pretty slick idea using that drywall hoist. For me I always had a helper and I would always hang 8 foot sections at a time. Just curious any reason why you didn't use top offs?

[@Takeithome345]

Nice job!! But dam I hate insulating duct!!!!!!!

[@randypaul5427]

That drywall lift idea was brilliant! In this situation, what kind of straps are you going to use to support your trunk?

[@eliseomerlos4211]

In love man.

[@frankgall6]

You don’t have to drop the trunk down in size to keep velocity up?

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Attic Attic Bonus Room

[@Chris-jg3cl]

Do you have to insulate trunk line if your running it through the ceiling of a conditioned basement? I’m looking to replace existing fiberboard that’s been making me sick.

[@williammarik6159]

Nice work. I have to ask though, why are you insulating the basement duct ? Will this not be a conditioned space ?

[@gefflynn7171]

Great vid! So where can a mere mortal who is not a contractor get this insulation. Is this Owens SOFTR DUCK WRAP? Thanks

[@jaisvikt]

Neat work and "cardboard under the tires so as no tto throw dirt/rocks on the road"? Yeah, I'd hire him.

[@hangngoaigiare]

Would you have more of these video about whole house duct and venting installation thank you very much

[@alexberger6246]

Can you have a trunk that has two elbows in it, or is that a poor idea? In order for my trunk to run the entire length of the house, I need it to bend upwards and then the second bend puts it horizontally again, so it actually would be located on two floors. Would this work? Thanks

[@martinwoods1921]

You do great work, just wondering why you hire or have a helper...?

[@myronsmith2114]

You should market a specialized version of the drywall lift to the H.V.A.C field

[@jasontimmons2642]

It's called a duct jack

[@theairconditioningguy]

That was really great how you used that drywall hanging machine. I used it once in a luxury hotel to hang a water source fan coil type system. I don't remember exactly, but it saved or back. Question :Did you say you were running a 8" duct to a 6x10 grille? Isn't that grille going to be noisy?

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+The Air Conditioning Guy I will require around 125 to 130 CFM per 6x10 grill so that should put me in the 650 to 700 FT/min range for face velocity. In my experience thats a good balance between keeping the noise down and maintaining throw to get the air down from the ceiling. Thanks for watching!

[@theairconditioningguy]

Got it. Thank you for the video. I know it takes a lot of time to prepare and upload them but we appreciate it.

[@sairaskitchen1742]

Nice

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Attic Guest Suite/Bonus Room

[@keithsac2542]

Nice work. Couldn't tell, do you use staples on the insulation or just foil tape?

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+KEITHS AC Just tape. Do the staples seam to help?

[@keithsac2542]

+ComfortPlus Heating and Cooling I have never really seen it done with just foil tape. The staples (outward clinch type) make a stronger bond. Tape by itself may become loose over time with varying temperature conditions.

[@shay000111]

How do you wrap the insulation on a rigid elbow? Do you have a special way to cut the insulation? Thanks

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

I don't know a good way lol. I usually take a piece of wrap as long as the back side of the elbow. Wrap it around and tape the center at the short side of the elbow. Then you can tuck or cut triangles of insulation away to make it as neat as possible. Thanks for watching!

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Attic Attic Bonus Area

[@dcarlton810]

Use a flat tap as a biscuit cutter.

[@rafiqislam6852]

Good

[@brettleffew1725]

when ruff inspection comes how do they know your seams are sealed or is it different in residential?

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+Brett Leffew some places require a blower test to show its sealed. They don't check it around here. Most systems I see are poorly sealed.

[@jasontimmons2642]

Depends where your at

[@zeframcochrane1183]

Attic Guest Suite

[@thevikingwolfpack836]

You of made your house more energy efficient an basically had less energy burn devices in it.

[@jamesholder5725]

how much flex can you run there?

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+james holder LOL as much as we want. Inspectors only look at R value here.

[@jamesholder5725]

+ComfortPlus Heating and Cooling Lucky! Our codes are getting worse and worse here. Every change out has to have a manual J, D, and S done now. Returns hard piped now too. You do great work btw.

[@joechan7376]

how much can it lift?

[@ComfortPlusHeatingandCooling]

+joe chan I think it says 150 pounds. I was lifting 16' sections with it no problem.

[@joechan7376]

Thanks.

[@mrcrux213]

Lol tape holder
