Looks like a simple design and easy enough to remember once you’ve done it. The worst I’ve done is a York 2 stage with the dual burners and single inducer. Must have been over 100 screws. The whole unit had to be disassembled. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and hope you keep en coming. You are deff one of my new favorites to watch
I have to replace one tomorrow thank you so very much . Its going to be 90° and getting us off that roof is appreciated . You are truly a professional and I have been doing this for 39 years .
It took us 5 hrs to replace the 10 ton rooftop heat exchanger . plus 2 hrs to install new blower bearings . I can't thank you enough having all that information was priceless . God bless You .
Man brother ! This video right here saved my life !! I had to buy an extension for my drill and also the 90 degree drill driver . Thank god that lowe’s was in the Same parking lot as the unit I was working on
I’ve been doing commercial hvac for 7 years almost 8 now and this guy is very thorough and actually explains things. Please if your new to hvac watch his videos. These guys that have been in the game for a while and are willing to share experience with you soak it up. Not everyone will get the chance I did. I rode with a 40 year veteran for 2.5 years. I learned things that I had no clue about I figure stuff out now and am like shit this guy thought me that my first year and I finally got to experience it. This trade needs guys that can work on this old stuff cause I’m 20 years who knows where hvac will be and maybe your that guy that can work on it all just like these guys. Not calling you old by any means but you are very knowledgeable and thorough thank you for these instructional videos I subscribed!!!
Having a flame rollout on a trane commercial unit and noticed something in the inlet of each heat exchanger tube. Still searching for possible culprits but my eye was on whatever these things were as I’m unfamiliar with them. And now I can finally go to bed after searching for quite some time on what these things are defined as and what they do. Thank you for defining the turbulator!
watched this video last night since I knew i was going to be changing one out today. It went so much faster because of the video. I didn't have to move the support bracket like you did mine was like for like. thank you and I subscribed.
What was your total time on this job? Well done! Good camera lighting and positioning, clear audio and concise w just enough details, no BS and annoying music. I would expect that you get a lot of referrals, but maybe a little less return business than others... because you get it right the first time. ☺
Awesome video! Just had a heating company quote $3500 to change the heat exchanger on one of our roof top units. Took a look at the unit, and it appeared to be a fairly straightforward job. After watching this, It's even easier than I first thought.
Yes I have changed Trane YSC Ht EX. before and yes, with the shorter heat exchangers you have to relocate the support bar. Funny in the last one I did, the holes were already there from factory so no drilling was required👍 One tip I would add is they do recommend you just put a seam of silicone around the heat exchanger faceplate, just to stop any possible air leaks. Great video I really enjoyed it. Cheers from🇨🇦
Great video as always. Good Job and Nice Work. Thank you for detail explain the processing replacement heat exchanger. You're the best . Please. upload more video. Have a good day ^_^
Terrific video! You not only replaced the heat exchanger, but most every other heating component (except the gas valve)! Heat exchanger I am replacing appears to be burned up, possibly due to high gas manifold pressure, so I appreciated your manometer check of that parameter. This particular furnace's gas valve may not have any pressure taps! If so, I will need to machine my own in the black steel pipe downstream of the gas valve... Scratch awl is VERY useful! I use one to line up screw holes too! The exchanger I will be replacing is on a Trane residential downflow furnace... Many of your details are helpful! RTV silicone seal around new heat exchanger makes sense, for example... Blocking supply duct while burning oil off the new exchanger makes sense too, and is feasible due to empty AC coil cabinet below furnace! THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!
We replace them just to have new burners, flame sensor and ignitor. You don’t have to, I would just clean them with a wire brush or wheel. Thanksgiving for watching!
Nice video!!! I have to do one of these in a week and I was pretty nervous about taking it apart and not putting back together properly but you video helped. Thanks for the video details. I am still a little nervous.
Very helpful and informative video. The amount of screws in these things are ridiculous. FYI for anyone who hasn't replaced one with short tubes before, besides relocating support rod and adding blower baffle, a new limit switch and orifice cover Is required. The orifice cover is usually included but the limit is not.The old limit Is not compatible with shorter tubes. Check instructions for model Info. Larger models need to be sealed with high temp caulk too .
I watched this video prior to replacing a heat exchanger LOL and guess what happened. I took out the old heat exchanger and before putting the new one in I drilled holes 6 inches inward for the new support bar location. Them before putting the baffle under the blower, I decided to shove the new heat exchanger inside. As I was pushing in the new one it kept hitting the support rod before it was all the way in. They gave my the papers for the updated heat ex, it came with the baffle in the box... but I measured old and new heat exchangers and they were exact same length. Tell me how that happens lol .... I put back support rod in its original location. Didn't put in baffle because it was exact replacement.... I am confused why the counter guy even said I'd have some modification for my model unit. Anyways. Great video. Thanks again! Keep up the good work!
I used worked at trane here in Lynn haven Florida making these units. This must be a really old unit as the units I built would have holes for both short and long versions for the heat exchangers. Also the whole heat exchanger blower assemble is so much easier to work on in the factory as its built off the base pan. As it is built at start of production I can see why it would be hard to replace in field. Yes the turbelators are a pain to avoid breaking them.
I only had to drill one hole on the side closest to the filters, the other side had two holes for different length heat exchangers. These Trane exchangers aren't to bad. Thanks for watching!
20:29 - You may have a limit on your channel as to length of videos; but, it would be nice if one of you guys shot an installation like this uncut and at normal speed. That way some of us newer techs could have a better answer for the customer when the unit will be back up than, “Sometime today,” or worse, underestimate with “a couple of hours.” I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I will expect some challenges; but, I’m now more comfortable replacing the rusted out heat exchanger I condemned a few weeks ago at a restaurant (Lennox RTU) 26:31 - All customers have the potential of being a pain in the arsenic; but, don’t stink out the building, Guys. Not cool. I like that the other cover works there. Nice tip.
FIRST!! Nice Video! That exchanger was really bad. And thats a HECK of alot of screws. Not as much disassembly as some others you've shown, but still alot of work removing all that.
I use to built these units in lynn haven florida. The heat exchanger is basicly first item made. The unit is put together around it. That's why it so hard to replace. I have also had to take them apart when someone installs the wrong heater config into a unit.
I've had some that Hardly smoked and some that smoked horribly. I usually let it burn while I clean up and take a sniff after I'm done to see if we are good or need to burn longer. So usually 20 to 30 min. Thanks for watching man!
How do i find the part number for the heatexchanger? My unit looks to be the exact same as this one do you look it up with the unit model #?? Could someone please respond with how to get the right exchanger .thank you. Great video
It's not that hard, proceeds to disassemble the entire unit. Seriously though this is a very informative video with a lot of time saving info. That said, I'd still rather replace a Carrier exchanger.
Bitchin. I believe, and I could be wrong, that those "turbulators" are for nox. As long as your in a place that doesn't require low nox they can be removed. Not that anyone should do that on purpose but if they crumble you can take them out.
Horseshit Trane units. Just disassemble the entire damn unit. Poor engineering. Could be a much easier process and heat exchangers are overpriced. Just saying 😂

Thanks for watching! I've been enjoying your videos too.
I appreciate your work sir 🙏 thanks for the help for us new techs
Thanks for watching!
Great job Ryan👍👍. I haven't done any of these yet. Keep it up 🤜🤛👍👍
Thanks Rick!
Thank you for the upload. I'm replacing one. My question is why did you replace the burners and sensor? Do I need to replace it?
We replace them just to have new burners, flame sensor and ignitor. You don’t have to, I would just clean them with a wire brush or wheel. Thanksgiving for watching!
ill move from Michigan to Ohio to be you hvac associate...rsrsrs You did a great job... congrats buddy...Eddie from Pacific Mechanical Co.
Nice video!!! I have to do one of these in a week and I was pretty nervous about taking it apart and not putting back together properly but you video helped. Thanks for the video details. I am still a little nervous.
How do you know if the baffles are good or bad. Are they easy to pull out?
Why did you cover that hole up with tin tape?

Looking at changing one soon. That new air baffle and turbulators come with new exchanger .
Excellent video btw.
Thanks Mark!
i've done a few of those tranes, and your right about the turbulators, theres always at least one broken
Yeah man! I've pulled one out of the old exchanger and used it in the new one before. Thank you for watching Tony!

Glad I started following your channel. Will be replacing one of these in the next week or so. I'll let ya know if it comes with the shorter HE.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thorough job, Great video!!
Thanks Chris!
i love the new intro dad

@@maxwellmelon69 are you talking about the york units?
@@HughesManHVAC no the trane unit in the video
Thanks for sharing video keep going good luck
Thanks for watching!
Compared to replacing a Carrier RTU heat exchanger those are a lot more work. Nice job
I love those sweet Carrier heat exchanger replacement days! Thanks for watching No Names!
Great tech thank you
Thanks for watching!
Best video of 2020
Thank you Maurice!
@hughesman hvac I know it depends on how much oil is on it but how long is the average burn off on a heat exchanger. Great drone footage btw.
I've had some that Hardly smoked and some that smoked horribly. I usually let it burn while I clean up and take a sniff after I'm done to see if we are good or need to burn longer. So usually 20 to 30 min. Thanks for watching man!
Great detailed video
Thank you!
How do i find the part number for the heatexchanger? My unit looks to be the exact same as this one do you look it up with the unit model #??
Could someone please respond with how to get the right exchanger .thank you.
Great video
Really nice job thank you for sharing your video how long did it take you on that heat exchanger
This took about 5 hrs
Great video!
Thank you Jose!
Great video
Who controls the drone
Thanks Tony! I'm controlling the drone. Total record time with the drone on this video was less then 20 minutes
Need one for my model

Haven't found the part yet?
Any ideas?Thanks.
Good job
How long did this take you from start to finish?
D@mn! It's always something. Thanks alot Trane. 😵😵😵
🤣 yeah man! Thanks for watching Shannon!
Congratulations man! Awesome right!
@@HughesManHVAC No kidding! You will have to film yours with the drone....just for Ted. 😆👌
Lol, he does hate them!! Lol
Wonderful man! Thank you!
Thanks for watching Gerald!
@@HughesManHVAC watched it for 30 minutes, replaced one just like it immediately after! Thank God I didn't have to use the revision
That's awesome!
Good
How Much will charge ,for this job?
1 million
Cake walk compared to the York heat exchanger change out
Agreed
Ill bet they revised the exchanger because the ends were getting hot spots due to lack of airflow
It's not that hard, proceeds to disassemble the entire unit. Seriously though this is a very informative video with a lot of time saving info. That said, I'd still rather replace a Carrier exchanger.

Thanks 👍 Steve!
Much better music I don't feel like playing the lead clarinet in the first 10 secs.
Thanks! I may still use the other intro from time to time. My 10yo likes it...lol. thanks for watching!
not so easy to do the rod relocation when it is horizontal flow and ducts connected to that handy supply air plate
I bet man, luckily I’ve only done them on down flow RTU’s
X changer failed because no air flow on bends redesign x changer air flow baffling
Makes sense! Shorten it up and direct the air better. Thanks Bob!
Great that trane can't make a exact part
Thanks for watching
OSHA violation in the first 10 seconds of the video lol
Horseshit Trane units. Just disassemble the entire damn unit. Poor engineering. Could be a much easier process and heat exchangers are overpriced. Just saying 😂
