Hello friends, my name is Carlos, i am 27 years old and i have been in the HVAC field for about 6 years now. I live in a small town in AZ. The temperatures here tend to reach the 110-120 degrees and we have the sun shinning all year long. As a result my town has been labeled "the sunniest city in the world". The demand for air conditioning is very high here.
Unlike many tradesmen who did not choose to do this as their career but found themselves in the trade and just stuck to it, i purposefully chose to learn this trade, first going to a trade school and soon after that, all hands on experience out in the field. Strangely enough i love this trade and i will never leave it!
I made this channel to encourage, motivate, help and share the little that i know. Sometimes the videos will be nonsense, just for fun, so be aware haha! I will start uploading soon.
If you would like to reach me you can contact me by email, thanks :)

So, jumper red to each wire, one at a time and then when circuit with short will give what type symtoms?
Put a new fuse and then go wire by wire, when you get to the problematic wire usually the fuse will blow... thats just telling you that something in that circuit is messed up. For example: If you have a new fuse and you go red to OB and bam fuse pops.... that tells you, RV is bad or the solenoid is bad or the OB thermostat wire is bad.... or tstat itself is bad internally... With this method you can atleast narrown the problem down. You will have to keep troubleshooting but atleast now you know where your problem is coming from.
@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER Great info. Thank you!
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER Great info!
Yes sir 😎💯💯
@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER Thank you!
I have a Gree 9k unit I’m planning to have installed in my bedroom. Seems like a nice unit.
i have a video of a Gree 9k i installed at my house, its still working good😎
Dude,.....Any incorrect wiring is BiG issue in quality 😮😢....I thought Runtru by Trane is a Top quality Brand.....wtf
To me its a small issue, i say that because im a tech at heart. I do understand your perspective though, the unit should come trouble free 👍🏼 I would appreciate that as well haha
Where is the drain on the unit?
@@kimcwhite6509 its behind the airhandler, we ran it outside 😎
What state u in
Arizona😎
FYI, the roof on the sides needs stepped flashing, something AC guys miss 98% of the time. Eventually roof will leak. Is real world wattage less on these that are inverter driven?
@@elmedia1532 Thanks man will look into your advice! They definitely use less power, the compressor starts gradually, needs about 4 amps to crank. All good feedback, most if not all my customers have noticed a reduction on their power bills.
On mine never notice a draw past 30-40 amps in dead of winter
Best sniffer brand out there! I run the D-tek personally. Will never go back to anything else.
@@BigPMachinery That one is 5 years old, still going strong😎💯
Trane QC sucks. Gotta check solder joints on back sides where it’s hard to reach and make sure they didn’t leave extra pipe hanging down coming off of reversing valve allowing it to rub on others and starting a leak.
What about the lack of air turnover capabilities? Or ease of repair? Or cost per BTU? Or ease of maintenance? Not to mention their own inherent problems. Did they provide normal 1/4” service ports or 5/16”? Did you take the initiative to add in your quote extra time to remove the threaded attachments and solder them? As far as inefficiency goes, installing a new unit will naturally have more efficiency just because parts are being made without over engineering anymore. That has positive and negatives but it effects all systems world wide. Also, air leaks wouldn’t be an issue with proper duct installation and care. I’d rather pay a duct cleaning company to clean my duct work every 5 years instead of changing a head because daikin decides to use thinner copper evap coils and charge the same price. Edit: work looks clean from outside would like to have seen the inside.
I understand your concerns, i definitely would not install these in every single house. This house was a manufactured home and the layout was perfect for a multi zone system. The condensor came with 3/8 & 1/4 conections and i flared them all. I have sold like 5 of these Gree multi zones and all of them no issues so far. There is alot of electronics in the condenser, the troubleshooting doesnt scare me, what freaks me out sometimes is if parts were to be back ordered, living in AZ i would have a really pissed off customer 😫 With any new AC of any type, i always push a 10 year labor warranty because quality control is a hit or miss now days 😅 I recorded a video of the whole installtion and deleted it because i didnt like it 😂 ill do better next time hahah
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER I understand, mini splits have a place in life. In my opinion though, they are as useful as an economizer. Special use case only in my book. I just don’t like pushing for something this without explaining, at the same time, why and when it should be an appropriate response. Either way, seemed like you had a quality install. Hope you’re at least out there getting that work and staying busy. Would like to see pictures of the evap heads though.
Hey what is the outdoor unit - Bosch or something else? Thank you, good video.
Bosch 15 seer , thanks man!
Where are you located?
@@Android_Warrior Yuma AZ 😎
What brands do you like? I’ve had good luck with Goodman rooftop units. They’ve occasionally have parts fail, but they’re usually easy to repair. I’d like to use variable split systems more in the future, but I’m not sure they’re worth the cost
I like Trane and ICP products. You be surprised but Payne packaged heat pumps are solid. I use them here and there, price point is decent. Look into the Bosch inverter splits; 15 seer condensers, i think youll like the price. I like Bosch but only paired with an Ecobee Premium Tstat and a 2 stage airhandler. Otherwise no. The ecobee tstat has tons of feautures where you can make a Bosch work awesome. I tried the Gree flexx, but i preffer Bosch.
You want to talk to satisfied customers? Personally I don’t make my customers tell other people about me like sure referrals but I will never call my customers and be like hey can you tell this new customer your hvac works well?
@@austingreenland8788 I had a guy that would not pull the trigger because he was concern with the condensers noise level. I called a retired couple, they had been happy with an inverter unit i put in. After i explained to the husband the situation immediatly the said yes. He had a very bubbly personally and was a people person i knew he would say yes hahah Yeah it was a bit strange and out of routine but i got a sale 😅 I have only done this once.
Bruh only 6 months old? That’s very new you should scrap a lot of things or the whole unit
@@Jets-and-airconditoning The owners ended up keeping it, and i think they sold it within a few days😎
Work on my shitbox. Lol
hahah nice, same 😂
Great video brother!!
@@teddegraw Thank you man 😎
I ll take that rheem unit. Hope he can sell it and recoup some of his money and its still u der warranty as well. Great job on the new install.
Yeah i think he sold it online , he got some of his money back atleast 😎
surge protection installed wrong, other wise good install 😎
what did i miss!?

Getting a new packaged heat pump warranty seems great company is good, the copper wires just turned me off here, how common is that? Is it the same with the tranes?
@@sants.602 Not with Trane its the opposite, everything is nice and organized. 😎 So far every single runtru i have installed will come with the copper all jacked up, i always fix it but yeah it is annoying.
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER would you recommend this vs a goodman? Also is the copper just a cosmetic issue, or can this cause problems in the future? Thanks.
@@sants.602 It can cause a rubout with vibration and a leak. If you take the time to make it neat from day 1 when you install the unit, then that issue is gone. Its what i do everytime. I think Runtru and Goodmans are going to be around the same category (if we are talking 14 seer equipment) Get a good labor warranty, and a good installer, the installer is actually the most important factor 😎
The previous company’s failure to revamp the curb and ducting is shameful. Your work is impressive….neat and thorough. I hope you showed some before and after photos to the owner!
@@Straycurrent always 😎 thats my proof work was completed properly💯Thank you sir 😇
Añññpñññp😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
That flashing you did! 🤩🤩🤩
Wow that termite stuff is scary/ disgusting. I don’t think I’d stick my hand into that lol. Termites are super common and aggressive in the valley but wow to let it get that bad that they are on the roof sheathing of a sloped roof is crazy. You’d think there would be obvious signs in the house before it ever got that bad but since you said it’s a rental that makes sense.
@@everythinghomerepair1747 luckly the owner was aware, he had dealt with termites before. I had never seen damage like that before 👀👀
Great channel. I Just subscribed. I'm learning a lot.
Thank you! If you got questions reach out on here, ill help you out if you need help 💯💯😎
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER Actually I do. The blower motor on a Rheem 5 ton package unit won't stop running. It seems I need a new $ 400 motor it's the x 13 motor. Where else should I check. The wires are good and so is the board. It has a new capacitor too.
Cut the power and unplug the low voltage from the motor, bring power back, if the motor spins without the low voltage hardness then yeah you will need to replace it 😞 Check that the thermostat is not sending 24v to the G all the time. Some of those have a relay, check that its not stuck closed. 9 out of 10 on those x13, its the module 😑
Will do. Thank you.
I used your recommomdation when I went to replace my HVAC. I had a 20 plus year old RUUD package unit R-22 and probably R-1 ducting and went with R-8 and a Bosch IDP 5 ton inverter unit. I also removed my Mastercool ADA70 swamp cooler, my wife was not happy with all the moisture. We live in the high desert near Victorville, Ca. I do love my Bosch heatpump.
@@amsoiltek Thank you for considering and congrats my friend 😎 with R8 ducts and a Bosch, that power bill is about to go way down! 👀👀🤩 If you have any questions in the future reach out to me on here💯💯💯
Nice work
@@gordonpotts753 thanks! 💯💯💯
What I've seen here in phoenix is many ac companies don't increase return air when upgrading from 22 to 410a, also alot of undersized systems, good to see there are companies like yours still out there
@@phoenixhvac-r828 Many guys just change the box and dip out. Those installs are a hit or miss😬 Im afraid of callbacks bro thats my problem😂
Yes I agree. I had two four ton systems for a two story 4,000 sqft house. I think that’s pretty undersized. There were only two returns in the house one upstairs and one downstairs and no zoning/ jumper ducts or anything of the sort. The house was built in 1997 and I think that was common for the time.
If i go to bid an older house, they will come out with some sort of duct modification, its a must with a new system. 💯
You don't know what you're talking about.
@@gaetzwarren8146 elaborate
Nice work!!❤
@@WilsonRebuilds Thanks man! 💯💯
Went to a call once where people installed a unit 3 years back before i was there and both units of the house was down one was the capacitor and the one they installed 3 years ago never actually ran. The service valves was still closed. The home owner had no clue and just assumed it worked lol
@@tommymatthews4984 I got a friend that does tech support for our town, He says majority of the installers/techs that call dont even the know the basics 😬
Damn the 24 volts was not being sent through because of a loose wire nut really😮new system wtf ?
If you pause the video you will see the blue wire from tstat tighted to the Yellow from the AC, that was not the issue.
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER what was problem in the 1st place? It looked like re- wiring an a fuse might have got them cooling.
Unit ran 24/7 never satisfied. It was pulling heat from return/ ductwork and under curb .
I have this very unit here in Phoenix. I am on year 5 with no issues. Humidity removal during monsoon season is fine, I haven't had any issues. It's an awesome unit and so energy efficient !!
@@jteamaz also cant beat how quiet they are ! 😎

Great video! #gogree Let me know if I could send you some swag? Sr Marketing Manager at GREE Comfort 😎
Of course ! 💯 Let me know what you need 😎 ccondeisa12@gmail.com
Hey man, thanks for the video. Did you happen to (or can you still) take any running amperage readings from condenser and air handler? Would love to know what they pull while cooling for energy savings cost calculations
@@db0nn3r dam brother your like the 3rd guy that asks😩 i got you on the next one 💯💯
Hello, What is your opinion on Gree ? Most of the contractors are trying to guide me away from Gree and Midea and push what they carry like Mitsubishi and Carrier
I have installed a ton of them, never had an issue. If you can afford it go Mitsubishi, but if not then theres nothing wrong with Gree. Find a Gree "Select" dealer, and you will get 10 years warranty. 😊
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER Thank you so much for replying and providing to the point feedback !
Clean install
Yes sir thank you, its still working good 😎💯💯
Is this the 230 volt model? Or 120 volt? Also, what's the amperage that the compressor runs on?
230v yes 💯 and very low aperage, i cant remeber but i beleive less than 7amps
كِمٌ وات وكم السعر
I'm on my 2nd year with a Flexx 3T. Still whisper quiet. Still blowing cold (AC only). Service was nothing but cleaning, double checking. I was on the fence about taking a risk, but so far I'm happy. I did not do DIY and AC company already had experience with Flexx line. 🤞
Thats great! I have only installed this one and my customer loves it too! I want to install the 4/5 ton, and see how it does. Thank you for sharing 💯🤜🏼
Which Brand of Digital Torque wrench 🔧 do you recommend ? ? Yellow Jacket, CPS blackmax, Hilmor or Navac ? ?
@@MrJEEPJTJust seen your comment brother my bad, majority of my tools are CPS 💯💯 thats what i like, those brands you mentioned are all good, pick your favorite😎
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATER 👍👍 Thanks for your recommendation 👍👍
I have a bosh package unit. The unit comes on, compressor comes on and stays on while the blower motor keeps turning on and off. Tstat is Brand new, filter are new. I'm out of ideas.
Could be this issue, or a motor issue 😩 do you have a company coming to check it out?
@HeavyPressureHvac I have a guy coming tomorrow, he thinks it could be the blower motor
@@marcodelgado3303 get me an update brotha😎
Does it have a filter?
yes it does, its inside the building, i didnt get any video of it sorry 😅
Hi, can you pls give more detail info about the capacitor issue with this machines, you mention the herm and fan are switch. Is that correct? I just instaledl a Runtru heat pump package unit 5 ton, and I feel the compressor is making too much noise, I did order a noise dumping cover (blanket) for the compressor, hopefully it will reduce the noise. The other issue I am contemplating is that the unit is not level. But, like you said it does have more airflow running inside the ducts. Thanks for such a great video.
The fan will come wire incorrectly. i haven't seen this issue anymore but its super easy to catch. If you go where the outdoor fan is, and you can feel the air blowing out towards your face, then more than likely youre ok, if the air is pulling towards the unit you have a problem🥶 The compressor blanket will definitely help 😎
We are waiting on an estimate for a 4 ton, 13.4 SEER2 Trane package heat pump for our house that will go on the roof. You mentioned that you like RunTru, but what’s your opinion on the regular Trane packaged heat pumps? Is it worth paying the difference and how reliable are they? We want a heat pump that will last 15 years if that’s possible these days.
If youre planning on living in that house for a long time then i would definitely recommend the Trane! I know i just made a video talking crap about one (it came defective) 😂 Its super rare they will come with issues. Overall its a great product. Find someone thats a "trane comfort specialist" , to be in that category you gotta be a reputable company💯💯
@@HeavyPressureHVAC-WATERWe will be living here for a good while, so it sounds like Trane is the way to go. This will be the second estimate we get for a Trane packaged heat pump and both HVAC contractors recommended curb installations. We currently have elbow ductwork connected to the side of the old Tempstar heat pump. I hope we won’t have any roof leaks after the curb installation. Thanks for the reply and have a good one!
Someone doesn’t know what braising is I guess
clearly 😂
Braze is what it is called and that wouldn't be a problem to fix if you know how. Just saying
The let down is knowing the unit came defective from factory 😑 Brazing is super common in HVAC, thanks Captain Obvious hahah
Just shows they don't pressure test at the factory correctly. If he found it in the field they should have caught it before it left the factory.
@@WhowereEpsteinsclients exactly!! 💯 Luckily this doesn't happen often.
Wow this was manufactured by a criminal.
Rookie😂
We call those Friday at 5pm units.
Looks like i soldered it.
naa bro you do better❤❤ lol
Looks like the meth-heads on the night shift did this brazing work.
my dad was a plumber... those solder joints look ugly.. no wonder its leaking ... when i was about 12y old i could do them better ... dad showed my all his tricks (Rip)
Sounds like a great guy my brother, thanks for sharing that memory with me! 😇☝️💯
