I'm not an HVAC tech, but I watch your videos and commend you for all that you to do to teach people about the job. Be safe, and if you ever need a photographer, I volunteer for free to help.
I thought about that additional crossbar when you showed your rough-in phase of the unistrut stand in the early part of this video, so when you mentioned going back to add it, I was like, "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing." Also, I see you decided to stay with the defrost timer after all. Lastly, any technician would appreciate not having to squat down or bend down to access the electrical panel. As usual, great craftsmanship!
I appreciate that you marked all the information inside the condenser box that you probably wish was there in other ones you get called to work on. If it's you the next time, it'll more than make up for the time it took to do and if it's somebody else, maybe they will learn something and start doing the same. As far as adding the extra cross bar, nobody ever had to apologize for making something like that too strong.
This is now one of my favorite tutorials from you for two reasons. Data data data and documentation, maybe meaningless now but might help diagnosing something later for a baseline... Then "don't give people something to talk bad about you you later" because they do and will to make themselves look better to the customer. Both are simple things to improve your reputation and branding.
Great video, Chris! I just recently changed out WIC and WIF condensing units. Both existing units were working and both boxes were full of product. Before I started, I said a little prayer that everything went smoothly and that nothing was defective with the new condensing units. I had someone help me remove the old equipment and set the new equipment, but after that, it was just me. The first unit I installed was the freezer unit because the freezer door is inside the WIC. Once I got the freezer running and down to temp, I could crack the freezer door to help keep the WIC at temp until that unit was installed and running. The prayer didn't work. The factory installed freezer low pressure control was defective. Without the control, there was no way for the unit to pump down and cycle off on temperature or for a defrost. I worked 10 hours straight with no breaks and I was exhausted. I wasn't going to pay a $100 opening charge hoping the parts house had the control in stock, so I had to go back to the job several times over the next 6 hours to manually cycle off the freezer condensing unit and put it in a defrost. At midnight, I shut down the freezer at -20 degrees figuring it would hold until morning. I got the control the next morning and installed it. Now, I'm waiting on RDI to reimburse me for my labor and the cost of the control. I'm not holding my breath, though.
When I first started watching, I just skipped the ending break down. Now getting more into HVACR I really appreciate the endings. Thank you for informing us all in what you do on a daily basis.
The part I wanted to see was how the hell you got that new evaporator in the box in 1 piece. Haha. Also, since Alaska and California have earthquakes in common, definitely add that crossbar. I forsee that condenser on the ground after a decent shake.
That, and if someone bumps into the assembly with a tray cart, bends it and makes it drop the condenser... I wouldn't want to be the one who has to take the fall.
Years ago I forced myself into using a 5 gallon bucket boss organizer with a cushioned seat lid from academy sports. It is the perfect height to sit and work on most RTU’s. Plus it works as a stepping stool in a pinch.
I really enjoy watching a professional who knows what he or she is doing. Thanks for making these videos. I also like the idea you put all the startup info on the panels. I used to do this all the time when I was servicing. I'm retired now but still enjoy the field of HVAC/R.
Nice install sir! Clean and hit all the points, hard to find techs that do ALL the right steps. Been to too many poor installs and having to fix it. Been watching you the past few years, keep it up!
4:00 If you do build a stand to lift the new unit above the other unit, the hot air from the new unit won't drop into the other unit since hot air rises but if you're really worried about it, why not build a deflection plate angled 45 degrees up to catch the exiting air and deflect it up.
That was what I was thinking, it may rise but the suction of the other unit might force the flow down. I agree that deflection plate would bee a bullet proof solution.
Thanks for the video Chris. I really enjoy your videos. I love to learn new things and im always trying to improve my knowledge and skills. 21 years in this trade and there is still so much to learn still. I dont do much refrigeration anymore, but i still want to know about it and learn whats new. We have some accounts that we handle their refrigeration as well as all their commercial/ industrial equipment. Nowadays i pretty much am only commercial/ industrial. I love working on boilers, chillers, towers, pumps, etc. #hvac4life
Absolutely great mate! I have 7 evaporators on a multipack and am looking to change them to splits…. This was exactly what I needed to see. Maybe you could do a controls step by step guide as well?
Another great video !!! If you are thinking about putting another support in for that frame, do it !!! It is better to overkill certain things and it gives you peace of mind. You did a fantastic job explaining why you are doing everything, where to face unit, to building a frame for unit etc. As you said you are trying to make a tutorial with these videos and your are doing a great job in my opinion. How your subassemblies of certain equipment before your final assembly on site shows the methodology you use on every job that I have seen in your videos. As for leaving notes, always when you do something funky or not really the norm that happens at work. When I worked in streetcars and we cranked off the brakes so we could couple up and push in the disable streetcar. I would leave a note that only the open side disc brakes are cranked on all others are off. I would also leave the crank off tool on the drivers seat so the person on another shift will question about the brakes being on or off and be forced to ask about it and look at the ticket. Keep the videos coming, I am addicted !! Thanks again.
Excellent work as usual. Definitely appreciate the attention to details and for the next tech Yes get the bar . In fact maybe even adding more to be safe.
Yeah that's the thing about subcontractors at my job they don't care about servicing what they install because they leave it to us afterwards. And almost every install that they do its not even service able. I hope that every subcontractor that does shit installation job has to break there backs for being idiots and not thinking about the next guy. Great job Chris!
If I were at that restaurant I would have pushed you hard to put the new unit on top of the others. I really like space efficiency. That concrete pad would have been a pain though.
Just asking, not downing nothing. Wasn't your numbers off and what would it have taken to get the AC Unit at the proper Run settings? Also, why haven't you changed over to INDUCTION when it come's to Braze Welding. You would get a better Weld Joint in my opinion, would you? Why did you recover when you could've just released Refrigerant to the out side? Isn't this Propane Refrigerant? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. It is Appreciated.
Thank you for the videos. I was wondering could you look at doing a maintenance oriented video. How to check belts and tensions, greasing motors and bearings properly.
LOL. At about 10:35, while discussing the wet rag compound, he points out the red/white tub being used to prop the piping up. If you look at it, you will see a blue item (solenoid magnet?) attached to the shiny part (the solenoid?), with some wet rag compound on top. Stare at it for a minute or so... It looks like he made a play dough gilligan, wearing a blue shirt & his ubiquitous white hat. There is a tube attached to the piping, that looks like a hand, and it appears as though "gilligan" is positioned in such a way that it looks like he is holding and peering through a telescope (seaglass?) at something behind & to the left of the camera (from our perspective). Nice. A for effort, even if unintentional.
On the new heatcraft condensers why do they put that bar over the brass shut off valves makes it hard to unscrew your gauges they could have made it easier I think....what's the benefit of useing 448 over 404?
I'd put on some more support on the unistrud , you never know with the vibrations or even someone tripping and knocking over the condensing unit ... I mean an extra crossbar can't hurt anyway right ? I don't quite get why the subcool is so low though .
When it comes to support and crossmembers, it's better to err on the side of excess. Maybe you don't need it, but do you want to take that chance? You're right in your outro when you mention making the install serviceable. Even if you never have to worry about the next guy criticizing your work, you'll thank yourself if you come back for PM/repairs down the road.
Great installation! Looks good! Like the stand! Great to be able to work on it standing up! One concern did changing the txv void any warrantys? Awesome to see you and Dad working together! Thanks for another good video!
What grind my gears? Why run head masters? We did that back in the 80's and 90's in Sweden. The condensing units I have installed in cold north Sweden for the last 10 years hasn't been equipped with that, my colleauges can't even remember when they installed a unit with that kinda "feature". Not even with long lineset. Instead we run with fan cycling pressure control, either variable or on/off. And.. In the summer it can be about 30°c/90°f, during winter as coldest -30°c/-22°f, ok. It may take one or two startup tries before it kicking in sharp by those low ambients. Have never been a issue. We are just clearing the sight glass and keeping the level low as possible with enviroment in mind.

Why did your stand have to put the replacement condenser above the old one instead of just in the place of the old one plus a few inches out (an extension of the pad, like removing the old unit before putting the new one in)? I listened to your positioning dilemma but I still don't understand why it needs to be raised that high. It's more than just getting it up at eye level, right? Or... by "not tripping," you thought they wouldn't bump into it as much if the stuff was up higher?
Yea, I Like the idea of Raising the Units up to at Least Sitting on chair 🪑 Height. It would be nice to change out a compressor once while sitting in a chair & not on top of a ladder or on my knees.

I have a Job with two units stacked. I Don’t Mind Working on the top one , the one under it is interesting to work on. Two heatcraft units just like these in this vid.
Great video.Could U pls give us a video exclusive on selecting a TXV whenever U Have the time,just in case u need to change the TXV to suit a particular refrigerant.
Great work but do have One question like you said to refrigeration system why do you check sub cooling? Normally after new install I’ll check my super but never really sub cool you got a receiver and a headmaster
For this system I checked sub cooling just because I wanted to know how this unit operated but I don't use sub cooling for charging purposes. I will discuss this on my Live Stream this evening 1-11-21 @ 5:PM (pacific) on TH-cam come on over and check it out th-cam.com/video/H9NRDsb_1zQ/w-d-xo.html
Here in Tampa's county (hurricane state) all condenser units on roofs must be placed up on stands at least two feet up, usually aluminum I beams (3") with 2" round legs. Ron W4BIN
That wet rag will never be above the boiling point of water and thus hot enough to damage anything. Not sure i agree with your reasoning that the rag will be an issue if left on longer.
Eventually the wet rag puddy will lose out its moisture content, then the heat will just continue climbing into the equipment behind it. I don't think its a ceramic composite that reflects the heat, it just absorbs the heat.
On the defrost, are you breaking the liquid line solenoid on the evap cooler? So that it will go into pump down. Or is it something other than pump down control?
I get that you don't want to show your employees on camera. Couldn't you just pixellate/blur their faces in editing? That being I have learned so much watching your videos! I passed the Light Commercial Ready to work test at the start of my Commercial HVACR class thanks to you. I also love your work ethic! Do the job well and take care of the customer and your company. That's how it's supposed to be done!
I’ve always been curious. Why are there p traps on evap drains? I know sinks and toilets have them to block sewer gasses. But don’t the drain lines usually lead the water into another drain? You wouldn’t think you’d have any sewer gasses because the drain it’s going into has one of its own.
If you don't have a p-trap the suction created by the fans will pull air through the drain line and prevent the condensate water from draining. It will collect until the pan is full and then overflow onto the floor and product.
@@hjc4604 Ok. Makes sense. Thank you for answering me. I appreciate it. I do a lot of AC work on cars, trucks and buses. But as you know, they work the same, but the designs are different. The systems installed on buses are somewhat similar, but not quite.

Run that cross support. Also what can be done to get that SC temp to a more normal range ?
That corn on the cobs looks kind of off.
what do you think about adding an accumulator ?
Thinking a like true service guy when doing construction. Thinking about the next time when we have to service it and is it accessible 🙌
Oops, it wasn't winter just yet. Close, though; several days away still.
Very good job bro 👌👌👍👍👍
Good video
Congratulations Beautiful install, i wish you were in NJ. You really know your sh**t
Great video and great work, does the heat block really protect the txv for damaging?
I would think that raising the equipment would make it easier to work on too for future service.
Yea, I Like the idea of Raising the Units up to at Least Sitting on chair 🪑 Height. It would be nice to change out a compressor once while sitting in a chair & not on top of a ladder or on my knees.
