Why Are People Taking Out LOANS For A New HVAC System?

[@michaely1164]

Great give away. Can you imagine the couple expecting to pay around $15K and being told that it's free? You and Alpine Air just made their year! Thank you and nice video.

[@jfahlstrom]

congratulations for helping these folks out dont stress about the noise

[@juliefizpatrick513]

Lucky winners! Congratulations 🎊🎉

[@jlm4855]

Wow that is awesome 👍🏻 I can imagine how they feel. I know we just had a furnace put in almost a year ago and , ouch. We are going to need a new air unit too of course. You are more than welcome to come here and put one in 😂 Nice video. I always enjoy watching them. I've said it before but it is worth repeating , I wish you were around us because , you would be doing all of our work. You're so honest and trustworthy.

[@ForgetU]

Nice work. Glad you enjoy helping others through your work.

[@lgroves336]

WOW, ya gotta love it. Seeds are being planted. Someone will be blessed for GIVING.

[@collinmiller8866]

lol we had to do our whole house AC and furnace including new ducts. Paying 45k for all of it. We are like 1/4th done and haven’t been able to get in contact with the contractor for months. Won’t return calls, emails etc. a free hvac system would be he a huge blessing.

[@ByMySelfGardening]

Thank you my friend..

[@davidking3311]

That has got to feel so great to do this for unknowing customers

[@mcdonaldm73]

I understand that learning this trade takes time...but dang you make it look easy.

[@towelies4884]

Very nice. Wish I could get that.

[@chiaricharlie6608]

How cool , great job. Thanks.

[@markwanner6213]

Awesome as always!

Great video! Thanks!

To the people complaining why he didn’t give it to someone who really really need it. First of all its his equipment and time so why tf are you complaining, if you wanna help someone struggling do it on your dime. Second of all, lower in come home would have been probably a-lot more work due to zero preventative maintenance.These homeowners set up was pretty straightforward and a simple swamp. As much as he might have wanted to help someone in need these homeowners were willing to pay and good choice for him to helping them out.

[@keovongvilaykeo4799]

God bless good man keeps doing it 😊

[@MrFreon1990]

good deed,thank you

[@JakePorterHVAC]

You give away a free system, provide free labor, and provide ancillary materials for free as well, yet people leave negative comments about you giving it to someone they perceive as being rich, unworthy of the gift, or nitpick how things are done in your area. Unreal. I swear you can't win on KZbin in the comments section. Some people are straight douches. Pretty cool that you have gotten your channel into a position where you can truly make a positive impact on people's lives. Good on you man. Thanks for the video and stay safe out there.

[@BlackSheep883-d7n]

Do those Blueridge from Alpine ...do they have Copeland scroll compressors ?

[@davesauerzopf6980]

Awesome job, got some dirt in my eyes watching this.

[@alec1113]

Good man👍, I will become a member soon as we need your help . Keep doing what you are doing, young fella , you are helping a great deal of people 👍

[@testtesting2868]

That is too much soldier. I use the equivalent of the size of pipe. 7/8" pipe means I use 7/8" length of soldier. I never had a problem.

[@davidloven7008]

Love your videos. Don't you need to change the line set when installing a system with different refrigerants?

[@barrypittman2199]

Do you have a preferred brand of surge protector?

[@gsmacka96]

Hey, i was watching a video about how the flux stays in the lines and can become acidic and cause a short in the compressor windings. It was from ACC Service Tech channel

[@truckywuckyuwu]

The worst you can do as a DIY. Is make a mistake. Nothing wrong with making mistakes, you learn from them. Even if you had to buy a whole new furnace and air conditioner because you made a mistake, you're STILL likely going to save money compared to hiring a professional. And it's rare that you'll make a mistake that big. So don't worry. Just start.

[@BradHutchings]

After watching a bunch of these, I finally understand why you don't have to flow nitrogen with that solder! Thank you!

[@Colonel1Bravo]

Praise The Lord

[@aaronblackford981]

Watched many of these videos now and still tear up every time. Great job and ty on so many angles. I barely have been able to do my charity work after a tornado in my old stomping grounds. So I did something. But never enough in my opinion. And I believe your prob doing the labor for free but being paid by people like me. KZbin gets ad money. And Blueridge is getting an awesome ad of just being awesome. Awesome colab and awesome teaching throughout.

[@kimballwhite]

Their dog looks like Ralph! Awesome video dave!

[@randallservidio5919]

Is it cost effective to buy a new Residential AC with 410A, or wait till the A2L units come out?

[@Corey-dy2cq]

You put the shrader valve back in with the king valve open? Wouldn't that cause freon to leak all over?

[@diyhvacguy]

That’s the point of the schrader core tool 👍🏼

[@jeffreywhitlatch1409]

I want to know why companies are wanting 15,000 for a system.The average basic system should not be costing people $15000. The Key word is basic. Now for a waste of money 20 seer system, I could see costing $15000. Or if the price included duct replacement for the basic system. 25 yr. FL ac conractor here and there's a lot of us around here and I can't imagine what companies are doing in areas where they're few and in between. We are all being ripped off for every thing. I say by bunches of middle man companies. And by companies with multple partners and companies selling work and paying another company to do the work. Lots of double dips happening everywhere under people's noses and blantenly in their face, because they're all doing it. I wish you all good luck being a consumer.

[@jeffreywhitlatch1409]

@@Dev_skoll greedy, and incompetent

[@search_eternal]

It's not that they want a 15k system, that's just what the average cost is for a basic system.

[@quocd5580]

Here in California, average cost of replacing A/C system is 12K (mobile home, San Jose) to 20K (1980's home w/ R22 in Stockton). I've saved $ on many residents/store owners by recharging refrigerant or replacing a condenser fan. A/C repair has become a sales department now.

[@ItsTheCostanza]

There’s some HVAC channels on KZbin that focus on sales rather than repairs

[@raygrishaber8115]

I got a question for you if you pull a vacuum will it fluctuate with temperature over say a day

[@diyhvacguy]

No, the microns will be the same regardless

[@diyhvacguy]

If they do it would be minimal. As long as it stays below 500 it’s golden

[@douglaswindsor120]

So is this unit bidirectional or is it only one direction

[@5dc61]

Can you expand on your question? Not sure what you are referring to.

[@nicolasmuniz9452]

I'm going to lose some sleep with the white tie wraps on black insultube, JK

[@phakeAccount]

I agree with the homeowners that they probably don't want a free installation or equipment. It would probably be better served if you found a residence in a lower income neighborhood with a really crappy system visible from outside and offered to redo their system for free.

[@izb1678]

Why did he give a new system to people with like a 400k house

[@5dc61]

Maybe he doesn’t want to worry about getting robed by some crackhead while he’s concentrating on soldering the lines 😂

[@phakeAccount]

@5dc61 how dare you! People in lower income neighborhoods are generally much more accepting and kind Rich snobs who stomp all over people

[@tphvac87]

Hopefully you got a tip! 😉

[@diyhvacguy]

We did, these customers were amazing

[@venvnco6259]

HVAC Guys hate this man.LOL

[@boduke2299]

I see all the big mouth comments on here about doing this job for free too bad cry babies he can give free stuff to anyone he wants to.

[@RossMalagarie]

why are people taking out loans for new HVAC systems? Because a new inside unit, outside unit, and all the duct work for an average 2000 square foot house is between $10K and $15K and most people can't just write a $15K check.

[@diyhvacguy]

Right. Most people are living paycheck to paycheck. Even supposed rich doctors. A lot of them are paycheck to paycheck due to their lifestyle. Get a system from Alpinehomeair.com and save 5k

[@meehanswoodworking5314]

I’m truly disappointed that you did not replace the line set you are going from a R22 refrigerant to a R410A I’ve done many swaps where line sets have not been removed and a 410 unit was in place and over time a leak will appear. New gas = new lines and I can also see you brazed no nitrogen 😭 and you didn’t do a nitro test at 500 psi to check leaks

[@gsmacka96]

Didn't braze. Soft solder. Temps didn't rise to 1000+ degrees to cause oxidation on the inside of the copper

[@TooCloseSeries]

🥰

[@rusosure7]

KZbin keyboard warrior here. Can you connect copper to what looks like aluminum in a wire nut? Asking for a friend.

[@search_eternal]

You can, but you need to put some Anti-oxidant paste in the wire nut.

[@fiehlsport]

How do you find these clients for the giveaways? Do you bid the job very low in order to make sure they go with you, then surprise at the end?

[@nicolasmuniz9452]

Enough with the Keyboard Supertech suggestions!

[@AmericanFarmerHVAC2024]

Why are people taking out loans? Because nobody can afford anything anymore.

[@BillyBobDingledorf]

I don't feel comfortable DIYing this. Why can't I pay a pro $500 to do what you did?

[@diyhvacguy]

Oh you absolutely can!

[@diyhvacguy]

But most pros will not do this job for $500. Try 3-4k

[@5dc61]

It’s probably cheaper to fly in an HVAC pro from Mexico if you want to go the payed labor route 😂. The techs in this country are pricing themselves out of work.

[@spineynorman9389]

Not for nothing those are service valves NOT king valves. And analog gauges? It's been at least a DECADE since I've seen anaolg gauges in the field.

[@diyhvacguy]

Cool story

[@5dc61]

This is probably the first video you’ve seen from his channel. While you make a good point about valve nomenclature, FYI, he has just about every type of gauge set out there but makes these (DIY catered) videos to show people they don’t need the $800 field piece unit for a simple one time install of new equipment.

[@izb1678]

Why is this guy giving rich people a new system

[@diyhvacguy]

What on earth made you think he was rich?

[@boduke2299]

He can give it to anyone he wants to.

[@jennifermitchell9947]

too bad it will leak and break down in a year.

[@5dc61]

Too bad you are a friendless virgin. My point is, anyone can make a comment and not back it up. Expand on your comment and explain why, in your opinion, it will leak and break down in a year. Otherwise there is no merit to your comment and instead just a waste of everyone’s time.

[@planesandbikes7353]

Sorry but you are bit disingenuous with the freebie-reveal. You're not handing over a free HVAC system without a cost. You are doing it in exchange for the right to broadcast the install and the reveal on your profitable KZbin entertainment/education business. You require them to be on camera and they allow you to film in their home. It's a fair deal, perhaps a ripping great deal for for the home owners for sure but it's not exactly something for nothing. I've done similar contract work (not HVAC) for no profit just to help get exposure, photographs and testimonials on a company I used to own. Keep up the good work! I've learned a lot on here.

[@ninnghhizziddha]

I love how this page constantly misinforms homeowners, with Boogeyman scare tactics, and teaches them to perform repairs that they end up doing more harm than good with. The reason HVAC is expensive, is because we are bound by EPA regulations, equipment price hikes from the manufacturer due to said regulations, and having to run a business and this dying economy with record inflation. I'm all for an individual's right to repair, but I can't tell you how many homeowner installs and repairs I've had to fix, that ended up costing more, due to pages like this making every company to be a villain because people can't afford to pay professionals. If the economy is tough for citizens, most businesses are going to be hit pretty hard too.
