Amazing skill level to install an entire HVAC system alone 👏. Homeowner: Where's your crew? Steve: I am the crew.👍
i am a one man show ..
It's actually better for one person to do the whole job, it's usually done better when it's someone like Steve does this kind of work as it's one guys reputation and business.
Bet wouldn't do an attic change out by yourself in a 150 degree attic
Can't blame the guy for wanting it replaced, but it shows your integrity that you advised him to let it ride and not spend the money.
Install was hard enough, but filming it all was over the top! Looks really good. The customer should be very happy. Now to find where the birds are getting in.

43:33 that ant said “I’m getting the hell out of here!” Watched this one when you first posted it and came back to it again today. You’re a one man army. Very talented, and great work. Wish there was someone like you in my area. Thanks for the video.
The professor at work. Steve your truly the best.
Thanks for taking the time to show how you do metalwork. I took a crack at doing my own after watching your work.
Steve, You are a beast, doing it all solo and leaving nothing out. another fine job resizing the supply air plenum to boot.
Brilliant work Steve a pro with everything you do
Amazing work. I'm getting my Gas Furnace and AC installed tomorrow. I'm glad I got to watch this video.
Oh lawd another informed homeowner. 😂😂
I think I personally would have left the plenum squared without cutting the notch out of it and then just do a simple 4 piece that would have made up the angled transition.
That’s just me
👍🏻 good work Steve
Steve’s a one man army! 👍👍
Love the cross brake folding tool. I have never seen that before.

Steve that pig tail on the leaky valve is a great idea. I got one in the garage for a ice maker I don't use dripping and it'll be a lot easier to pig tail it. Very professional job!
yes seems to work well
Everything looks so clean and organized..you can tell a professional did this install...awesome job..
Nothing but quality! Actual quality. =)
Great video. My air handler was designed at my request for a 5” thick MERV 16 filter. My particle counter is always near zero and my wife has no allergies in the house anymore. I also added a ventilating dehumidifier. I couldn’t sleep in the new house. It was well enough sealed that it needed ventilation air. Now I sleep soundly and dream again. Our VOC’s and C02 were too high and needed fresh air.
That's different than a random idiot putting in a 1" thick nerve 13+... if it's designed in, it'll work mint. If not... Juuuunk
Dont know how he does all this alone. All I did was read the title and I need a nap now
Boy i wish you were closer. Id hire you in a heartbeat
Nice to see someone that knows about staybrite and uses it
Love your sheet metal work/no cardboard duct work/good old USA workmanship!
Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍
Dont underestimate Mr Steve. Professional install right there.
Wow! The way that plenum was taped on top of the furnace was ridiculous LOL Steve will make it all look proper!
You take some pride in your work. Makes a change from what i used to see in duct work from day to say. That cross bracing is excellent, the amount of times I see just a flat bit f metal shoved in and taped up!! How are the birds getting in? It must be a simple thing? Anyway. I thought you might have let us see the finished work! Anyway, nice job.
Steve, for a one horse band, you work like a 20 mule team! Beautiful work!
I used Filtrete MERV 11 filters for years and didn't have any issues, no pressure drop whatsoever...living in the Deep South, I did change them every 30 days especially during the summer months...we bought a new home with a 5 ton Trane variable fan speed HVAC system. It uses dual AprilAire 16x25x4 "accordian" type filters...the manufacturer claims they can last 6-12 months...after about 90 days, they need changing..at $105 for the pair, they're not cheap but neither is a $25,000 heating and cooling system.
Birds...vent on the roof has no cover...maybe...awesome..work..truck is looking good...
Transition was a masterpiece!
27:44 whole new meaning to a hammer drill .
Always good to have a properly installed new system. Thanks. I'd take that old furnace for my garage.
Steve I have watched you do this job on a number of your videos! I think the this one you earned every dollar!
Teaching mode. Very good. I learned some new things today
Great Sheet Metal and Beautiful Solder Jobs!😊
I really like this, shows your skill, with out the side talking, I don’t mind the side talking but this may boost your veneers.👍
Good job on the tin work. Most HVAC "installers" wouldnt bother because they dont know how, dont care, or just want fast money. Sad really. Also just a tip but when checking for leaks use the solid stream on the bottle instead of the spray. That way you arent making your own bubbles when you spray.
A lot of techs won’t check those cap tubes on new installs. Seen and repaired wear spots on them. Good call
Steve that brings back chills on my back you go bro hey check out hydro nyc another plumber in the city
Great video Steve! What a hunk of junk A/C damn dinosaur! Thanks for taking us on your adventures!! Bullet Bob from W. Texas🤠❤
Very Nice Work putting that duct work together Steve, be a trade lost when you leave this world.
I love your channel so much and I've been watching since may 2022 great videos and nice furnace!👍
man that was a big job
Steve doin' a two dayer, you don't see that to often! 😉 Great job Steve!
Hi Steven!
Bravo Steve, job well done.
I love to watch you work. Install is a form of art! Question: why all the s-lock? I used to install in my earlier years. For ductwork situations like this, I'd mark my metal the full length of the side then add an inch on the right side. Bend that side in then screw it into the next side piece... each side lapping over onto the next. Made easy work of it and smooth taping. Very sturdy without fighting with the s-lock. Just curious. Watching your videos makes me want to work again!
i feel s lock is the proper way to do the job , so thats how i fly ,do what ever floats your boat.
Nice work, it takes some insight to get it done and done well
Beautiful installation mama!! Looks really good mama!
Hey Steve, have you ever see the guy on TH-cam DIY telling people they can install the own air conditioner? i’ve been doing this for 32 years I only have one customer try and failed miserably. it cost him twice as much for me to fix his screwup LOL. Good job Steve as always 👌
I installed an entire system, ducting/gas lines/furnace and condenser in a gut remodel. Pulled all permits with the state and passed with flying colors in 2020. DIY all the way. As an HVAC tech, you really would not see the homeowner success stories since they would not be calling you. 😉😉
Between Steve’s videos and AC Service Tech’s (and others), I’ve installed three systems and one mini split myself. Ie saved thousands AND I got to satisfy my tool fetish.
Great job Steven, That is one nice looking install.
The back of the drill makes a good hammer. Next level mama!
nothing beats a gas setup and central ac...once you go gas you dont go backkkkkk haha..
Amen. Switched from fuel oil to natural gas several years ago. Cleaner, quieter, and much cheaper. Smartest decision I ever made.
Another happy customer
Steven,your a great Tin Man 👍
looks at the back of the drill after using it as a hammer and says time for a new drill . thats working man stuff there 🤣.. i have folks at work ask me why i only have 3 hammers , i say everything is a hammer depending on what time of the day it is .
good stuff as always
you do excellent work steven
Great job Steve.
Steve, everything's a hammer momma! Used to do this in the 90's, nice work when ya can't get a transition fitting made quick.
like red green would say "any tool can be the right tool"
Now we wait for birds to get inside the new one Lol
i told the owner he has to get the chimney cap fixed to stop the birds from coming in .. its in a gated community . and the caps were just put on / reworked and siding done .with in a year .he is aware of the problem
Nice job Steve
I use to run across crappy plenum connections all of the time. My neighbor had a new coil installed and the installer taped over a wide gap and the tape let go so conditioned air was flowing into her attic. There are a lot of jacklegs in the HVAC business.
Way to go Steve! You do great work. I sure wish I could find an employee like you to work for me in the pool equipment repair/install business. It's hard finding people with a solid skill level. Hope all is well up in MA. It's hotter than hell down here in Central Florida. Lol 🥵
I think the A/C condenser was the worst for the wear of it all. You didn't lie to the guy, so he knew it wasn't desperately needing replacement or anything, but I don't blame him for deciding to just replace the old thing before anything went bad.
Excellent video Steve 👍 👍 👍
Love me some sheet metal work! Nice job.
Cross brake looks good also
Job well done only thing I don’t like is union outside of cabinet it says in manual outside of cabinet even tho you bubble check it if something god forbid could leak down road
great quality install! i just started working in the field myself a few months ago. this has been a passion of mine since early childhood. any tips or advice for the future?
Clean install Steve!
Big howdy Steve and Molly
Nice work Steve, very interesting video
Steve - I was wondering about the gas valve - - if it's a ball type, it sort of looks like in the video (could be the camera angle) that it's turned beyond full open. Thanks for posting this, especially loved all the tips on the sheet metal work, so appreciate you sharing (as all of your vids) your years of expertise and professionalism. btw, even though I've got the 12" model snippers, I ordered the 14 like the one's you're using, thanks for that tip.
MAJOR project
Hello Steve !
Good job
Very Nice Work!
Time for a new drill mama ! 😂 give them the how you doing.
Here ib Ct we have to braze all refrigerant lines,,,,,,that's the code
Easy change out not stuffed in attic are lil bitty closet
wow nice job
That’s uh job and a half momma, great job.
Great video. The birds gotta be coming from the extractor vent right?
Hissing out like a crazy woman.. LMAO
me too! He's a hoot but good at what he does.
Real pro.
2:15 WHAT CAMERA ARE YOU USING STEVE
bet you had a couple days off after that one! Nick Level Mama!!
Good video 👍
Has any body ever tell you you do very good work codo's to you
Nice vid steve 😊
Outstanding job Steve. Have a great week. 👍
Did you pull a vacuum with the schrader cores in?
Put an ashlock on an inflexible color
Love that utility room. What a shit show. Most of the cold air I've done has been 20" x 10".
What brand of 2 sided wall furnace would you reccomend? Parents installed 2 side wall furnace in the late '60's or early '70's.
You need to install a chimney cap
they have one ..
Nice sheet metal work! Wish you would be closer to my location in Connecticut. I need someone trust worthy and professional. I need new AC and oil boiler. 2 separate systems. I would put you up in my house or hotel, miss moĺly also
Steve do you think 90+ boilers are over rated??? Had to replace mine last year and went with a Utica 80+ same as the one that was there since 1971.
i think your better of with the 80+
Can`t really blame the customer for being proactive about his home comfort. Next year if it goes bad it will cost even MORE, with the inflation. (If he can even get it at all).
Nice job, couple questions. Did you insulate the short duct you showed? Also anything extra to prevent those birds getting in?
No need for a bigger hammer when you have a drill
80 percentuh
Ever consider getting into central vacuum systems? I see this house has one.. how common are they in your area? I'm in that racket, and the money is good when I'm busy
