My 1984 Lennox central AC is still holding on.

Vacuum pump can be used for automotive or if you maintain your own off road suspension as well.

Thanks for your videos. We all need to know more about HVAC. when I say we all I mean me. I appreciate your videos. Journeyman carpenter transitioning to Maintenance at a university

How dee doo looking good there,get'R done ! ✔️

Doesn’t that condensate line need a trap to function properly? Something about overcoming the suction from the airflow?

I have an air sucker outer pump in my garage.

I’m thinking of installing a central unit to my house. 3bdrms how can I get help to map out where the trunk and inlets and outlets go?

You had to do surgery on that vanity.

Do they have certificates for handymen 😂😅

You pay more for a full system when using a full service company because there is overhead. Do some charge more than others, sure. But when 100 people in the area call, they'll most likely get an appointment sooner rather than later. If ten people call the handyman on a 100° day when their AC stops working only one will get theirs serviced. I always put it like this: people have no problem spending 50-100k on a new truck that will last them probably a few years before they trade it. Your HVAC system, if installed properly, for 20k should last you 20 years easy.

Just put a photo cell on that light

No way dude’s wearing a Rolex submariner working under the sink

What ….no ground ??

The neutral is the one in the cable with the black one !! C’mon

This is something you definitely should NOT be doing ! Does your insurance cover you for electrical work !!

Adhere is not the word used with piping systems

I've made a lot of money fixing/replacing poorly installed systems from both HVAC companies and handymen/DIYers alike. End of the day it comes down to quality and honesty of the people you're working with. We frequently lost business to "the cheaper guy" then got a call 6 months -2 years later to redo or fix the job. With the current bottle neck in skilled tradesmen I imagine this problem will continue to worsen in the coming years. That said, as stated in the vid, CHANGE YOUR FILTER.

Now, if manufacturers would stop intentionally building air conditioners that fall apart after a few years! Used to be a whole home air conditioner would last 50 years. I've got a 2 year old whole home air conditioner that is already failing and falling apart. And it was far from being a cheap one. Effing corporations!!!!

Funniest part of my comment, having worked in a HVAC factory for 7 years, is your pronunciation of HVAC, is said like a name, (Ach-Vak) there are no periods to break it up... other than that, you are right, very glad you do these videos.

What's with the lower siding board @ 8:46? Only half a run...Is that due to the way the house is built. It looks "off". Not terrible bad just out of place. I did find the video helpful. I have a bunch of rot going on the bottom of my shop, with T111 [I think] siding. Currently a good way in or out for mice, snakes and all the uninvited .

I took an HVAC class. The instructor said that techs can haul out fancy-schmancy, specialized, seldom--used tools simply to impress gullible customers. "Well," the customer thinks, "if the tech needs all those tools, devices, and hardware to get the job done, the outrageous cost is justified." Handyman, you mentioned somebody charging $4,500 to replace a blower motor or blower fan. That's almost criminal.

Yeah a handyman would know lol 😂

For my mini split installs I use sealant on the threads not sure if I saw you do it but it’s just a personal preference

The fact that people (probably HVAC techs.) were assuming that there was no filter drier shows the lack of experience. Its not uncommon for the drier to be inside the condenser.

We have a ton of 30-40+ year old systems but a lot of the motherboards are hard to find and are not made anymore. I replaced a couple of the 40+ years furnaces at our properties. But yes knowledge and experience is a game changer for fixing these systems. If you get to know a solid HVAC person like I do and we still use him to install and fix some of the furnace if I can’t get them or stumped by my experience he’s a great renounce and mentor.

That hole is going to leak

So cool and

YES

They don't use HVAC in my city. So don't have to worry about it 😂 always refused to work on gas systems

I had an HVAC company come do a "maintenance check" and they said my blower motor capacitor was bad and needed to be replaced. They wanted to charge me $500! I said no of course. After a little research I found that I could buy a new capacitor for under $20 and it's easily replaceable.

I installed my own geothermal closed loop system, bought a used unit from a friend of mine that was an HVAC guy. I got the entire system installed , including ductwork, up and running for less than four grand

I didn't even know what a mini split was the first time I was tasked with and successfully installed one, lol! Shit was pretty easy.

Unfortunately, ALL industries do the same thing- auto, appliance, trades, insurance, medical etc.. Proprietary parts, "subject matter experts and so on. All for the purpose of driving larger profits. They could care less about the purchaser/client or victim. Cost constantly goes up while quality decreases intentionally. Planned obsolescence...

Shoulda, coulda, woulda used a canvas connector between the unit and the main trunk and return. Add iso blocks under the unit, supported the gas line a wee bit better. Otherwise, very nice install and much better than a lot of "pro's" out there. Mr. Cool makes very good units, despite what HVAC techs tell you. Keep up the great work!

Called my friends a bunch of homos (home owners). I have no idea why they are so angry, since all of them own homes.

7:00 lol! "HVAC Master Technicians despise him" 🤣💕👍

So I was listening to a handyman the other day talking about how tax accountants are overrated, you can do it online for free….

How do I make money in hvac if I can’t charge what those guys charge because this video?

Good work Handy. Keep those HVAC techs in check!!

Still waiting for the beard to make a come back handyman. Those vacuum pumps are also used for making hash lol

You watched The DIY HVAC Guy didn't you?

I started using filterbuy because of your videos and I love the filters and how affordable they are.

The irreversible damage on the house is what gets me 🫨 to stay away and suffer in the heat

Impressive, but really impressed by the man who built his own heating system and not had an energy bill in decades.

A great thing about being in the trades is, A.I.. cannot take over our profession ! At least not in the foreseeable future.

Handyman, I really enjoyed the talk in the last half.

dude! blowtorch on pvc. brilliant. I'm stealing that one.

At what point did you put the Freon in? I saw you vacuum the system down, but didn’t see you add Freon. Did you have to get a certification to purchase Freon?

🇺🇸🤘 Heck Yeah Handy Dandy 🤘🇺🇸
