In this video I finish up installing this 18k btu/h Mitsubishi ductless heat pump unit for a bonus room. Just needed to pull a vacuum, run the power wires, and start it up. Hope you enjoy!

What did you guys think about that ending?? :) Trying something new...
I think you should include more bloopers at the end of your videos, it was pretty funny!! 🤣
Bloopers are always funny.
That’s pretty cool. I haven’t seen it done. Thanks for all the vids, You’ve encouraged me on getting my C20 out here in California.
After a job well done, the humor at the end was a plus.
It's very cool.. please keep posting.
I wanted to cry seeing those packouts so well organized, a thing of beauty! Great Video!
Mine looked that way for about 10 minutes 15 years ago!
@@beentheredonethatoriginals5673 lmao
I have a huge appreciation for you putting connectors on the wiring and not just jamming the wires into the terminals.
I just want to add, not all HVAC jobs or environments are this clean and carefree. Great job.
They can be. Great direction to strive for...
You dont mean hot dirty dusty attic duct install.
This guys TH-cam makes HVAC seem so easy and stress free 😂 clean work
th-cam.com/video/ZRfAE_btyAc/w-d-xo.html
It can be. He also works for himself which is peaceful. No one is rushing him. He is his only pressure.
@@5822huron facts! the days of some money hungry owner blowing up your phone asking why are you not off to the next job are over. "time served"
I can assure you it’s hard work! Under houses! Roof jobs and attics! Ductwork and all! I’m 3 1/2 months in helping a HVAC Tech and learning! Installs can get pretty rough! The outside condenser unit is the best part! A/H are the worst in my opinion
we all know that it dont really go that way.
when I started diving over 30 years ago, a buddy told me to watch out for the divers with all new dive gear.
I grew up around this trade as my Dad is a HVACR Mechanic, formerly worked for TRANE Comercial and Industrial, but had his own business installing residential units. Huge nostalgia watching this video and seeing the TRANE and Mitsubishi badges.
Wow, never seen someone so organized with such neat and clean tools, is this a youtube thing
Its called efficiency helps knowing exactly were everything is and that will work when needed
No, you should see the work van of the tech who trained me..
It's like real life home Depot videos 🤣
So I'm watching this and my wife yells from the other room. "Are you watching 70's porn"? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂
Mine too LOL
Is that what it sounded like?
@@jamram9924 probably the music kind of lol
Lol
Bro I'm attending school right now for hvac and your job is so impeccable
Keep Studying
Nice to see that another tradesman is taking advantage of the technology that we have today to properly pull a vacuum.
th-cam.com/video/ZRfAE_btyAc/w-d-xo.html
large diameter hose is not a new concept just saying
@@pcakes1878 your’e that guy…..
I appreciate the neat, clean, organized work with a high lever of craftsmanship.
I’ve had the worst luck with plumbing and HVAC contractors destroying beams, columns, joists, etc., and doing sloppy electrical. Whatever you charge, you are worth it.
Not sure if he did but you should always let the system seat for a while after a vacuum, and watch the gage. Sometimes the pressure will go up do to moisture in the system or a leak. Is easier to detect a leak if the system is pressurized with Nitrogen to about 100psi. Let it seat for a while. Vacuum again and check pressure.
He is a very neat worker.
Forgetting the surge protector is the rookie mistake? Click bait. Install looks pretty though good job 🤘🤘🇺🇸🇺🇸
im 23 yrs old just passed my EPA exam today. love your videos !
I'd love to work for this man, and learn from him
He's the Walter white of hvac
@@tommy2buttz668 lmao 🤣😂😆
Me too.
very neat trick to tape the end of the two wires before feeding them through the conduit. much appreciated
Best videos, just straight forward minus the talking and bs. I appreciate this!!
I thought the rookie mistake was placing the unit next to a DRYER VENT EXHAUST!!!
Yea, That’s Never a Good idea and should be avoided at all cost. They Plug up Condensers something terrible. Preferably no closer than 10’ to a Dryer exhaust.
Been there done that, sometimes its tough if theres not many places to place the unit
At least that D-vent was high. I had one blow right at the unit. I vent 90'd it away. HUGE difference. Before, the unit ice'd up FAST, then early drop into defrost! Beware D-vents!
Blocking the crawl space vent?
That's a crawl space vent guy!
Dude you're so organized, it's awesome! No other way to be!
When I go to jobs and everything in my work truck top to bottom is organized I notice I have a clear head going into the day ahead
These inverter mini splits are a marvel of engineering. They cool better than almost every system available when installed correctly. Problem is too many people take short cuts and they're a pain to work on after Theyre installed. Nice video
Until the coil start leaking and Mitsubishi gives u a coil to replace they are pain only the wall mount , ceiling cassettes are way easier
It helps having all the right tools. I spent the first 5 yrs doing Hvac with limited tools.
I am like everyone else kept waiting to see the rookie mistake and nothing but clean tight work. Great job and I do get your point about forgetting something on your parts list for the job that day.
Quality work. Have all the proper tools, all the parts needed. 👍👍👍
I love how easy those mitsubishi systems are to install.. we installed a number of those this summer.
Nice electrical for an HVAC guy.....Love the equipment....Just got my appion 1/2 hose and core extractor....Made a big difference for me.
It seems that everyone has missed the fact that the AC unit appears to be installed under a "dryer" vent. If you think dog hair is a problem wait until the coil gets clogged with dryer lint.
thats job securoty david😅
Seen plenty of those pain in the ass to clean sometimes.
Once again very clean job ! Love all the great tools you pull out just makes the job go so much smoother!
I notice you do all your own electrical work and be man show is right ! Keep up the
Sorry for the typo ... keep up the good work another satisfied customer!
I do install and im messy as hell lol this guy is really good, clean, organized
first off, I am not criticizing your work because it looks amazing. But I took the route from being an electrician and then going into HVAC, so I might suggest a box offset at the panel side of your EMT. keeps it all flat against the wall until that cute little offset going in at the panel. Just makes for a better overall presentation.
first time I've ever been able to make a helpful suggestion because your work is top notch in everything I've seen so far.
Great looking work in my opinion Zack ..... also, your production skills/techniques are superb !! An out-take or "blooper" at the end is a good idea too... the viewers like a little bit of personal touch from time to time.
Thank you!!
Emt is used all the time in commercial application in Htown. It will rust but the unit will due for replacement by then. Sometimes location is what it is. Nice job!
I love the passion that you have on your videos, there's nothing better that do what you love... Louie the Boiler man.. Wepaa...
one of the best trades channels out there. keep up the hard work man!!
Here I was thinking that it was going to be something really annoying, like leaving a valve core out, forgetting to wire up the indoor unit or something equally silly. A surge protector seems like an easy thing to overlook and harmless by compare...
The bloopers just help to reinforce the notion that we're all human and the world isn't the perfect place that videos sometimes make it out to be!
Liked the ending. Never heard the dog (don't know whether getting hard of hearing as I age is a bonus or deficit). Saw another comment about how organized you have everything.. i've been trying to achieve that for over 50 years, but since i do just about everything except HVAC, I have so many tools, types of tools, and peripheral supplies, it's just a matter of basic box for each tool, then large totes for all the supplies (smh). Great job. Looks like it was done by a consummate professional ... who also happens to be human and forgot the surge protector (which I likely wouldn't have thought of anyway).
Awesome video. Your work is clean and super neat. Seeing how organized you are is truly inspiring. I pick up on so much and it builds my confidence in running my own show. Keep up the great work you are a blessing to the trade!
I like your attention to details, a nice clean install.
In school at the Dickson TCAT right now on my 2nd trimester. Already have my universal certification and HVAC Excellence Certification. Can't wait to find a good company to work for.
That cordless vacuum pump is sick. I need one
Spending money on tools, will make a job a lot cleaner and faster and cheaper in the long run. Copper tube bender, hydraulic expander etc. Every install I do get's a surge protector period. Good job.
Thanks for the video. Do you ever wonder about breaking a vacuum with the micron gauge attached? I typically isolate the guage with an additional valve core tool but your process was very smooth.
For your vacuum pump , on eBay or Amazon you can get a adapter to use a 12 amp Milwaukee battery so you are sure to never run out of battery or leave it on an extra long time when needed.
Exactly
Can you use one of the lower amp 18 volt batteries? Those 12 amp batteries are expensive.
@@sihnhold8249 They make an adapter on Amazon.
@@sihnhold8249 Of course do unit comes with a five amp hour battery.
12 AM it’s just a suggestion for that added security of not running out a battery in the middle of the job.
We’re having the ability to go longer between having to recharge your battery if you have a Lotta jobs every day .
Just a vary nice option
And you can make your own using a older dead battery and just buy individual lithium ion battery cells and wire it up yourself it’s very simple gradeschool level project.
I like people that are willing to show the mistakes. Very funny!! America loves bloopers. Great work. Very clean. You do awesome work
Don’t forget to put a box offset on that EMT next time! A little bit neater. Also since it’s outside, pvc conduit is probably the better move. Super easy to bend with a heat gun, or just buy the 90s.
Yes to the offset no to the pvc. Pvc belongs in the ground
@@snacksthatsmileback8172 we have to use pvc for weather protection and because of corrosion outside
@@donaldearle2803 what’s wrong with EMT?
@@snacksthatsmileback8172 It corrodes after a few years no? I'm sure where he is there's not much salt though lol.
great job man! very systematic! love the attention to detail. I have never considered HVAC as a career being an MET, but this is very convincing. I like that you have everything on hand, no trips to pickup stuff that takes time away from the job.
I want to hire you just for your organization and clean work. This is what a real pro looks like. That system looks so nice
Say bruh you the goat man I love these videos how professional and neat your work is. That lil vacuum was neat
nice and net job but i have three suggestions for you put the box offset by the panel, for outdoors use aluminum or plastic pvc pipe , all the time put a disconnect switch for each compressor and if you want to go extra put an gfi outlet by the compressors so you have all the time power to service it , great job
Pleasure to see you work. Professionally done.
Nice Milwaukee Tools it just makes you the way easier love tools
The definition of a "Skilled Tradesmen"...............
As a hvac tech man!! that's a clean job 😎. I'll subscribe because of this
You Are A Tech ?? 😂😂😂😂
@@sgt.mikebaran7105 yes sir and proud of it
@@deoranferguson5657 So You Do Realize This Is A Joke Video Right?...
Man, you work so clean.
Always install the screws for clips of the EMT at them bottom of the pipe
I’m admiring your tools and very organized…
Work in the field 41 years, never had the power source within 10 feet of the unit. Plus emts isn't allowed for outside electrical Local code calls for rigid or sched 80 PVC.
For what's state is that code?
In colorado emt is totally acceptable for outdoor usage. I think pvc looks horrible and after a few years in the sun usually looks like spaghetti
In my area always used EMT outside. Never used PVC. Too much problem with sagging even if you use expansion joints.
EMT is listed in the NEC for outdoor use. PVC is much better though, you have to clip it every 2-3 feet if you dont want it to warp. I live in the Northeast and it is very rare the was panels on the exterior of the house
@@TR-ut3yh Its dry here I Colorado emt will last forever here.
Amazing work! My heart sank when I saw that dryer vent right next to the unit though. :(
Every aspect of the work you did looks very clean, professional, and very quality! Nice job!
Great videos Zack. Just found your channel that's quality hvac work.
2 questions: 1) No need to pressure test or triple evacuate? 2) Did you put a pressure guage on at the end? To test what/why exactly? Been to multiple Mitsubishi installation and startup classes and this was not in the material. Maybe the instructors got something wrong?
Just ran into your content. Loved how clean and organized you have your tool set up. Looking forward in seen your content now that I’m jumping to this field.
Nice work. I may have used PVC conduit (the power risers are) unless it’s not per local code. I installed one last week for a buddy. When he saw the micron gauge, he said he’d never seen another buddy of his, who’s a licensed HVAC contractor, use one. Scary what and who’s doing this work below standards.
I could be wrong. But I thought on mini split systems you can’t get a true superheat reading on the suction line where you had your clamp at. I was always under the impression you needed to take the thing apart and get a reading at the compressor.
good job. Ill give you a hot tip for that navac vacuum pump. they use makita batteries. but i see that you have all milwaukee tools so buy an adapter plate that goes from makita to milwaukee. A 9AH milwaukee battery will run that pump for close to 2 hours uninterupted.

here is the one I use...enjoy!
Maybe add another slim duct elbow and make sure to foam the end so insects and rodents cant crawl up. Nice work either way!!! God bless!
I like that service wrench
This vacuum pump is very impresive..
😂😂😂🤪
I wish installs go this easy im usually cursing at my helper for something he didnt even know 😂
You are very organized and have the best equipment. Where did you get that tool bag with the zipped access?
Yeah me and put it near the dryer that’s a good one they do that every day even in new construction now. It’s a good place to heat your fridge went bottle up LOL looks good I like the black slab
A nice neat tidy job Zac, with nice sharp camera recordings, i enjoy watching your A/C installations here in Australia 👍
Makes it look easy! Work of art man!
Why did you take the Schroeder valve out before vacing the pipes , for such a small system it’s not necessary , plus dont your ac’s come precharged .?
If your "rookie" mistake was forgetting the surge protector, you don't have anything to worry about. I do things like that occasionally on purpose just to prove to myself that I'm still human! LOL
Good video, good camera angles, good lighting, good editing, good voice quality.
So WHY THE CLICK-BAIT?
You make it look so easy
That's the smallest vacuum pump I have ever seen. I've been in hvac field since 05. Does it do a good job getting the microns down?
Yep. The hose he used and removing the schrader valve is the key.
@@sprockkets what about a larger unit?
@@sprockkets longer line set I mean
@@murkyturkey5238 See for yourself.
th-cam.com/video/zSz-7oV8Scg/w-d-xo.html
I'd worry about it maybe over heating on a big unit then again all my bosses vacuum pumps get put away hot so maybe it doesn't matter
Wow your like the Batman of hvac. You have gadgets and gizmos for whatever situation. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had anti-shark spray in your truck
Bro I listen to this beat all the time at home. So relaxing
What’s it called?
Good job ! VERY CLEAN
A very nicely done job, best regards from a Swedish heat pump technician.
Your tools are woooooooooooooooooooow, and you are organized to the max
Hello Zack, are you not worried that refrigerant will contaminate your digital vacuum gauge?
Very nice install man. Very graceful, beautiful conduit work, even took the time to crimp the little stacons on the high voltage
That vacuum pump is cute.
Looks clean, good job!
Nice install and tool kit 👍
Cleanest HVAC tech I’ve ever seen didn’t even break a sweat 😓
Thank you for the videos brother! Very informative
Neat and clean work. I see Milwaukee everything had to look and wonder if the made a truck
Some fancy tools you got there pal. The cordless vacuum pump is nice.
I like how organized you are
8:11- for those of you that missed it, that's the classic, lets flip this breaker on and see if its a light show step back
i just installed that same unit today, my only dislike from the install was the fact you could not use 90 degree liquid tite conduit fittings because of cover clearance.
Do you have a video that shows how to isolate your vacuum gauge once the system is pressurized??
So it will not get damaged?
Using EMT/raintight outside when i’m from they rust fall apart in 2 years...
much more work also, get some pvc and install super fast. still looks good tho
All the tools are new and fresh off the shelf
would have been cool to see your 24 hour pressure test and vac to mitsubishi spec. looks like just one vac and go.
Your work and tools are so on point. You inspire me to take pride on what I do.
