- In this video I show my process on removing the existing Ruud heat pump split unit and installing a new 3 ton RunTru heat pump split air conditioner. On this job I reused the existing refrigerant lines, so I flushed them R11x and purged with nitrogen. This is my first time installing this new product line made by Trane. I'll go a few things that I like about the product as well as a few things that I don't. Hope you enjoy the video, happy HVACing.

Zach another outstanding job. I like how meticulous you are on your jobs. You're a class act. Thanks again for another great video.
Thx Anthony! That’s means a lot. I really appreciate your feedback.
Someone call the county Inspector. Most likely he did not pull a permit for that installment, as there is no way in hell that outdoor unit will pass to code. Or he failed it, then he did not list a video going back for being a idiot.
😂 call the county inspector? Quality HVACR must be a competitor in your area.
@@CryptoAbe Never run line and low voltage wire in the same raceway or conduit!
@@HVACToolReview lmao no. Sent Video to Tennessee contractors board with license number 70694. I hope he pulled a permit cause that is evidence....
*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*
Absolute masterclass work and ethic man! Very inspiring. The only thing I’m disappointed in is my self for not finding your channel sooner! Keep the videos coming.
I did HVAC for 30+ years you are a good mechanic... excellent job...
Great job. Clean and professional. The only thing I would have done differently is installed the condenser 12" to 18" away from the house to make it easier to work on and have better air flow available to condenser coil.
Exactly ! However he did a good job on installation.
Super dope man! You did an outstanding job all by yourself. You make it look so easy. I remember when I first started I was with a group of 3 and boy did we struggle.
I love how neat and complete you work.
I admire how clean/neat you are with your work. I think that looks are very important, considering a customer spends thousands of dollars, and they don't know HVAC & all they do is see a system, neatness is what they are gonna see first.
Well said. In my mind, a neat job means attention to detail, which means equipment longevity.
Black & Decker has done a good job on cooling a small area with this handy unit...I use this in a loft area all summer for good cool without the inconvenience of installing and blocking a window. Love it!
You always impress me with your training videos.
I like that return box idea a lot. Great, clean work man
First time viewer just wanted to say nice clean work and you now have a new subscriber
Thanks for your video. Good insight to the new line of equipment.
In Florida, minimum of 12 inches from wall. They do sell smaller valve core tools to remove stems. I always install service panel away from wall for easier access. Great job either way.
Great install man looked beautiful. Really digging the channel keep it coming brother.
Great video - really thorough and to the point!
3:31 The fart was epic!
🤣🤣🤣
I wondered if I just imagined I heard that or it actually happened? 🤣🤣🤣
@@FletcherRSmith I thought the same thing, but the replay confirmed it! hahahaha!~
Even his farts are EPA APPROVED 👍
@@Chele156 , Your comment was hilarious 🤣.
Seriously .... Excelent Channel, your strong for the work is very inspirational, i'm an One Man Company too, i'm a IT contractor, and i´m a network installer. Your channel helps me. You teachme a lot with your dedication and entusiasm. Sorry for my awful english
Great job man! Great Installation! Got to take pride in your work!
Great quality. Loved the epic rock in the beginning man. I’ve been seriously considering the electrical trade for some time. Might’ve just found a good group of HVACrs to sign up with and finally get out of my transitional job. Wish me luck!
man that was a very nice install awesome quality job about the core I was in the same position few months ago that make so mad but you learn from that
Besides Class 2 cable in same conduit as high voltage, clearance of condenser, and crimping suction line inlet so you can use existing 3/4" versus running new 7/8... It was clean and thanks for posting. I appreciate it ! Thanks.
Hahah botch job...oh you forgot the lack of a vent tee after the trap on an air handler that draws air through the coil
@@Clamjammer why would you put a vent tee after the p trap the p trap makes it so you dont need one
Thought I was the only person that caught the crimp
Awesome install my man! Great job and attention to detail clean work! 💯
Hey Zac, great video and great information. Thanks for answering the phone too.
Hey brotha , I'm going to start calling u Mr. Clean😁. Work looks great. May God bless your business. 💪
Haha! 🤣 Thx I really appreciate it!
You make great videos! You are a true tradesman and take great pride in your work, I can tell. Great job and keep up the great work! I would want to work with you on any job you take the time to do it right!
That’s very kind of you to say! I really appreciate that.
Great video! A true professional!
We actually going to start installing those over here in Texas. Thanks for the video.
Right on! Let me know how it goes.
Thanks for making this video . It was interesting to watch .
Awesome!
You guys in the midwest and east coast have it easy on replacements. Here in California most furnaces are in 20-24" closets. Good work on video
Half way through video while writing this...I usually do brazing first and leave vacuum running while I wire, connect, level and seal everything. Personal preference. Great stuff though, Nothing like a 1-person change out 😎!
Yes sir, trane is in Georgia, few minutes away from metter ga,
Great job, perfect and very clean work,
Good job, on the install great video. Thanks.
Holy Smokes fantastic workmanship
Thx! 🤓 I really appreciate that!!
Im heading into 2nd year in hvac Im in Canada. I have been on construction building vrf systems but haven't done much service so watching vids help. If there is a chance to explain stuff like tips and what to watch out for that would be rad. Thanks again for the Vids
Good stuff man😎🤙 you’re quite neat! Good videos I learn from small details like such to be a better service tech myself
Great video! Good job solo! Sometimes I wish I could be lol. We just installed our first RunTru beginning of last week. I liked AmeriStar but had a lot of problems out of defrost board. On the liquid line shrader valve, I didnt have any problem removing the valve before I soldered, which helps to check and tighten it when you put it back in. But if you can't, try bending the brass fitting or take the screws out holding it to the frame and pull it out for more room.
Great job my man. I'm also a one man show for 31 years now in business for myself. Started in HVAC at age 18 and now almost 57 now. Starting to burn out and body breaking down lol. I may start to sub out all my HVAC installs and just concentrate on sales and service. Take some advice if you have some tough jobs that are a two man job find a helper for the day. I installed so many HVAC systems by myself that I should have hired a helper at least for a day or two. Also look into buying or leasing a walking electric hand truck for jobs with lots of steps. Keep up the great work man. Peace \m/\m/...
coolmandude1000 I want to get into HVAC do you recommend honestly?
@@chrisv5386 I do! Long hours but very rewarding. Every day is different
Depends on the company
Beautiful work brother!!
Thank you for the most unexpected laugh of 2020 with the fart😂😂
😁
Like your clean installs, make it easier for future servicing work. Would recommend when fitting the condensate pipe into pump body to cut a 45 degree angle at the end to reduce possibility of blockage by sludge accumulation.
Nice work brotha!! She looks pretty. Good to see techs taking pride in their work. New sub 🤘🇺🇸 keep em rockin
Thx Jimmy! I really appreciate your support.
Good work man. Like your vids
Great Video, Sweet Install.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Very clean and professional work. Good job sir! Forgot to spray the basement with some scented air sanitizer.
How come its soo much harder doing the work myself, vs. Watching him do it😂, seriously hes an artist
That run thru air handler looks IDENTICAL to a Trane TEM4 unit I just installed, Inside and out. Minus some extra controls and fan motor.
Great attention to detail.
Nice and great work.
Those old pancake outdoor units were built very well. I still see them operating after 25 + years.
All you SUPER KEYBOARD GANGSTER TECHNICIANS out there need to calm down... the man did a good job and is a good learning video for apprentices.... let’s see you guys take time to video your installs and see your work. This is the real world and not everything is ran 100% by the book. All of you techs already know this u just wanna sound smart
Agreed Jimmy P. I have been reading the comments from all of the "Freon Leon" magnetic sign guys that think they know everything. These are the same guys that undersell good companies by thousands of dollars and ruin HVAC pricing. Good video though.
You're living the dream 🙌
Bro I think I heard someone else tooted/farted at time stamp 3:33 😂🤣 I thought I bring it up for laughs. Nevertheless you are inspiring as a technician. You are very detailed oriented and full of new ideas. Keep up the GREAT work my brother.
Great installation, Great music 🤘
Thx! 🙏🏽
I hope you can help me. I have a run tru heat pump system and the defrost sensor was laying in the bottom of the unit with a clamp on it. Would you know where it is suppose to clamp at?
Tidy work great vids 👍
I just bought (May 2021) a Trane Heat Pump Electric and can't believe how loud mine is, I had 2 Tranes before which were great. I like the flat piece you put under the outside unit. Mine was installed with 4 cheap cup looking deals at each corner. I was not impressed and have been treated fine, but they cannot get rid of the loudness except an idea of covering the suspected reason, I believe he said the compressor It was the part beneath the fan motor. I don't want a cover up, I want a fix.
Very nice Job!!
And I love your tool choices.
thanks for sharing with us brother 👍🏾
Thx for watching! 🙏🏽
If only i could have an easy, spacious garage for all my upflow installs.and damn that condenser is close to that wall.
Nice looking install. A+++
Nice work!
Clean work bro
Overall great work
Nice video, thanks for sharing! Only thing I do differently is braze the equipment up first before electrical and ductwork. That way I can get a vacuum going and do the rest while the vacuum pump is running. I think the RunTru equipment looks good but you're right the service port on the liquid line is in a horrible spot. They need to fix that. Nice clean install bro
Yea that’s a good idea. Luckily with my evacuation set up, it doesn’t take very long. Thx for the feedback!
Another great video bro
🙏🏽
Hi I from Brazil thax a lot .awesome video.
I carry two Schrader tools, a typical shirt-pocket screwdriver style and a short stubby one from a bike schrader set from Wal-Mart that cost like $2.99, works great. It's about 3/4" of an inch long. Had prongs that came out of it but I whacked them off with my lineman's-- I'd recommend everyone carry a short schrader tool for that exact situation.
Great.clean install..
Seriously some great footage.!
Zach
.appreciate your time.and vdeo,.and brain fart when lifting that air handler..
Serious note.though....badass to this hvac industry---

Thx man! I really appreciate that! 🤓
For the Schrader core removal tool, does that bottom panel come off under the electrical cabinet?
Thanks a lot. Just had a 2.5 ton unit (RunTru) installed. Seems to be pretty nice so far. SOOO much quieter than my old 2004 unit was. I'm hoping to see some savings on the electric bill, too, as the old unit hasn't functioned well for years! Air inside is a LOT colder coming out of the vents. They paired it with a RunTru airhandler/heater.
So you still like it , how do it hold up in winter
@@DR-um2bv Great so far.
Our company is a Trane dealership, been using Ameristar haven’t seen the new brand yet. Looks like a decent unit. Great video. 👍
Thx William! I feel like at its price point, it’s a great entry level machine.
Out of curiosity, where you live is there no minimum distance the condenser unit can be from the wall? For airflow and service clearance
That's a very nice clean job! Still someone someday will open that up and shoulda done this or that this way etc.
Ive had this set about one year. Replaced Carrier unit that was 14 years old. Sized the same.
My only complaints are the heat pump is noisy. The fan is loud and there is a very distinct "compressor type sound" on a resonant frequency (for lack of a better explanation) that can be heard from inside the house, but not so much outside.
The other is when temps get very cold outside it can't even keep up with 70°
12° outside. Currently 65°.
I dont remember this happening with the old unit.
But I cant swear it that it didn't.
Some areas of the fins never seem to defrost.
We bought it because it was the cheapest. Ive spent more time 2nd guessing the decision than I would like.
You could possibly put a T fitting on the LL service valve before opening up the system for access to the schrader core as well. I’m not a huge fan of adding extra fittings but it’s a better option than recovering the charge on a Saturday night lol. Good video, thanks
you can take the screw off thats holding the liquid service valve in place underneath the valve. That would give you some extra wiggle space to get your shredder tool in there, then replace it when its done. Also way to close to the wall there for future servicing. other then that super clean work good job !
Is the outdoor AC unit to close to the house? Will it be better for the unit to be about 4 more inch away from the wall? So in the future when you have to work on the AC you will have more room to work? Also what is the standard width away for unit and home, if there is.
Curious to know if the soft start feature is part of factory install, or if you installed it as an extra?
Hey Zach once again outstanding installation! The unit seems very nice, definitely a few flaws but other than that its not bad at all
Exactly! I’ll definitely give it another shot. Thx for watching!
I would suggest picking up the Pipe Wiper system for cleaning linesets.
I sale American standard and Ameri Star. For several years now. I was a Ruud dealer before that. Really like the stars. They've been pretty much trouble free. Have installed gas packs, heat pump packs, split systems. Not sure what's going to happen in the near future for me. I installed two luxair ( Lennox) split HP just to see how I liked them. They seem fine and work well , but the condensers are Huge .
I’ve installed several brands over the years. Each brand doesn’t really show their faults until about a year or so later. We shall see what the future holds for RunTru.
Lennox did the same thing with their liquid line valves. It sucks but nothing a 90* low loss fitting can't help. But it sucks if the cores leak. Love the videos
cool video edit!
Put one of these in over the summer, they were quiet, cheap price, and overall a great budget a/c
Looks almost identical to the tem6 air handler just re badged nice job 👍
Good shit bro i will be starting HVAC class soon
What are the best gloves to wear for hvac I did a job the other day on a residential home, I was checking the low and high pressure I guess I wasn’t fast enough to put on the gauges it took me 2 times but the Freon was shooting out and it left me some good size blisters the next day...I was wondering if u can recommend a good pair...
Cleanest installs
I watch u installed one complete central all by yourself very 👍🏿 good
I have a mini split that is less than 7 months old. The board has gone out with a brown spot in the middle of it. It is a RunTru system. it has been out for 3 1/2 months now.. The installer tells us that no one in the United States has parts for this system. Is there any place we can get a new board for this system?
@qualityHVACR just installed my first one the other day and noticed that it was one of the most quiet units also! Good install and that liquid line a schrader sucks
Hey just following up if you have any update on if the Run Tru AC/Furnace are still working well?
You did a dang fine job with how the install processes go....but that outdoor unit a tad close to the house and if I had to go work on it one day i'd prolly be cussin' a little....lol.
Quality, Quality, Quality.... job #1
Another nice installation.... can you show more of the wiring line voltage/ low voltage up close would be very informative . 👍
Great video
Thx! 🙏🏽
Damn you put the outdoor unit close to the wall. Great video
If you ever want to change out your schrader valve without having to recover the refrigerant, you can always pump the refrigerant back into the outdoor unit. If you shut your liquid line service valve all the way and hook up your gauges then you can slightly close off your suction side service valve. While holding in your contactor (in a/c mode obviously) you will be able to watch your suction pressure drop down to zero. Once it gets close to zero you can start shutting your service valve as quickly as possible and all of your refrigerant will be back in the outdoor unit just like it was when you originally installed it. At this point you can just change out your schrader valve and pull your vacuum. Then your ready to open up your service valves and fire it up.
He didn’t release the charge yet so all refrigerant already packed in condenser. He weighed in refrigerant so he had to recover what he weighed in which was 24oz.
I like the quality of your work great install, the only thing I noticed is the condenser unit is close to the wall. The 2nd think is you could start with brazing then your duct to save your self time. But man great job keep it up .
