    I’m truly inspired seeing you do this on you’re own. Been doing this for about 8 years now (24years old) and debating doing my own thing. That seems to be where the real money is at. Keep up the good work your installs are great.

      its been 5 years for me , ive tried climbing up the ladder from being a tech and installer and its truly better. it is a lot like he said , just by looking how to start it up is already hard enough but you will make a hella lot more and be glad you have come a long way

      It just depends on the drive. It takes alot of patience and working by yourself. I love it. I very seldom hire a helper. Really depends on the job.

      this industry is rapidly changing and education is key, much of the new equipment is VRV and this is the future, don't be afraid of technology as there is no end to it in this trade. stay focused and don't do shoddy work and your reputation will preceed you...good luck!

    This install made me realize that there's definitely more to HVACR than there is to Electrical. (Which is obvious but seeing it all put together helps out so much!). I'm transitioning from the Electrical field to HVACR, and I can't wait!! This looks like more of a similarity to installing computers and stuff vs just running wires and making splices. Can't wait to learn it all!!!

    Man that was a quality install. Duct cover looked great and I really like the metal conduit on the electrical. Honestly, I would have probably ran liquid-tight the whole way from the panel and strapped it to the wall but it looks so much better with that metal conduit. The attention to detail on your jobs is impressive and moving around heavy package units by yourself is also impressive. Keep up the good work. You earned a subscriber for sure.

    Beautiful job as always Zach. I would stay away from Ameristar. Your gonna have a hard time finding parts. Hey man I know it’s a package unit but still put you a SS1 float switch in the drain line. That’s the bad thing about package units if that drain stops up no one will ever know and it will soak the inside of that unit for god knows how long.

    My duct work came unattached from the unit. It sets on concrete. With about 8 inches hole on each side. So I can see where the cats have been jumping down on top of the duct. Is it easier to pull the unit out or crawl under the trailor. Note , there are low beams in front of the unit and the space becomes very difficult to move around if I go under. Nice work man!
