Retired hvac tech here, in my opinion one should start in the trade as a duct work installer for a year or two and then a system installer for a year or two and then a hvac tech. So much more knowledge gained.
They dont have duct work in Tn. Its all flex. So much competition up here as well. It drives the market down so nobody goes with metal ducts anymore unless you can get in a good neighborhood where people care about quality. Zach seems to have some good customers
Need advice they found mold in hvac and one vent. It’s not that bad, they cleaned the vent and hvac. They added a uv light I think rema system supposedly hydrogen peroxide will release into the vent or something like that. Is this enough to kill off the rest of the mold? Supposedly with humidity at 40% and with the rema and regular cleaning they said it will be ok. I can’t afford to rip out the ductwork and replace it with new ones
From the standpoint of a 33 year old woman who honestly really has no business being here, I feel like this was time well spent. Your clean and responsible attention to detail just kinda hit the right spot. I've also got a place to start as far as product research goes for the sake of much needed better air quality, so thank you.
My original intention for this humidifier was to use it for plants that require high moisture levels. After using it in my room, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxtD9aJ2m6GU-X1IChQxjn9l31K1A7Kpwj however, I think that's where it is going to stay in the fall and winter season at least. The increased humidity in my room made the room warmer and more comfortable. I had first ran the humidifier for 4 hours with the timer setting for it. After the first hour, I checked my room and can feel the difference. When the full 4 hours was up, I checked again and noticed that the humidifier was shut off as it is suppose to. The moisture level never seem to get passed 56/57%. I then let it run until all the water is used up, which it wasn't all used up. There are still some left in the base that you are not suppose to add water to. I filled up the water tank all the way again, being careful when removing it from the base. Some left over water may spill out. After putting it back on and setting the unit to auto, I let it operate. It didn't stop running, rather I don't know if it did at any point since I didn't check it regularly, for 24 hours after which the water in the tank ran out. The moisture reading never passed 56/57%, which may be a good thing for me. Being situated right next to my bed, the noise was not very noticeable with the occasional water gurgle from time to time as the unit ran.
That by-pass might blow dust back into the house when filter or duct is dirty....especially if using a pre-filter inside.... I tried that way years ago and had to go back and change it. However it does look much better duct-wise that way.
The by pass is for making sure the duct work isn’t over pressurized due to the zone system installed. If only one zone is calling for conditioned air the ventilation system could be over pressured or cause high noise from the supply vents. I asked the same question my self and that’s how it was explained to me!
@@Keo0oo The bypass will relieve the blower when a damper closes and "chokes down" the system below it's required airflow specification.... I am not at all a fan of the so called "zoning" done with systems that are not designed to operate in a variable capacity application. But the bypass does at least "trick" the blower and lower some noise and static pressure issues. However, it does nothing for the amount of btu's that have to all try to fit in the reduced duct capacity when a damper is closed, so the supply air is measured by a DATS sensor and the compressor is cycled to death killing longevity as well as efficiency. On a gas system it will of course cycle the burner to death at pretty much the same costs. I am a big fan of zoning, but not this way. 20 S.E.E.R. Trane with communicating zoning components is the way to go IMO.
I don't know if that's your partner or your helper, but it's amazing you've allowed someone on your team. Your methods and quality of work should be an industry standard. Hope to have a guy like you in the future to show me the ropes because I refuse to work for a shady individual who takes shortcuts or tries to take advantage of people. From what Ive seen in your videos you seem to be pretty legit. Good stuff brother!
On every Video you say this one: Lets do some work. This with that energie you put in it had taken me good through last Week. I repeated this like a pray. 73h week. Merry Christmas from Germany.
I love how clean you work, but the way you tie on ducts is way different than how we do it in Texas. Mastic the collar, put on liner, panduit strap it, slide on insulation and foil, panduit strap it and then tape to clean it up. Its sealed and will never come off.
I agree with the comment as the cleanest unit I have seen. I really like your tape display and I will go get all the tapes at home depot in the morning to redo some places I notice for my attic HVAC unit. I was hoping you were installing air oasis whole house purifier. But really like your instructional video and I am really glad you took the time to share your invaluable knowledge for DIYers like myself. Take care of yourself and if time permits, keep it coming. RE Morgan, Decatur, GA July 10, 2012
Great job. I definitely enjoy watching each one of your appearances. I'm wondering that few individuals' thumbs are down...losers You are the best dude around. LV U MAN...what a serviceman. perfect, awesome, and few in your talent..May our LORD keep you safe and healthy.
Advice. UV lights are near useless in a furnace or air handler. It takes minutes to hours to kill mold, bacteria, or virus`. Yet it passes through the UV light in a second or less. Be a good hvac tech and tell homeowner to invest in HEPA furnace filters. Thats what hospitals use for patients with TB. Its just basically a 2x3 fan with a medical grade HEPA filter on it. UV is useless on hvac.
Airscrubber by aerus manual says in supply air. I see what you're saying that's why when I sell them I let them know that for a few days you'll have more dust on surfaces as everything falls out of the air.
Great video and a very professional demonstration! It's too bad that 80% of these installs would be done in an overhead attic, where there's hardly any space to move around in. lol Attics that have minimal floors installed so you have to watch your step on the joists or you wind up going through the ceiling into the owner bedroom etc. Attics that has active animal presence and feces plus who knows what else.
I was gonna say that it makes me wonder how long it takes him to do these installs due to his ocd. Don't get me wrong I would live for my system to look this clean. I just figured it would take 1000 hours lol. Maybe I'm just slow idk...
The company I work for has been putting in new air cleaners called Iwaves and they are very nice. Not sure if they have them in your area but if they are they are definitely worth taking a look at. They are made by Nu Calgon.
They are a joke. They fix zero problems. At very best you get the placebo effect. Good filtration, humidity control, and fresh air should be your main concern for IAQ. Its the holy trinity.
@@AlexBianco100 yeah thats a tough spot. Companies do it because its something to sell to make money. But if people really understood and had a good process to follow you can upsell larger projects that actually solves problems. Making more money and have far happier clients.
I love mastic tape, but it doesn't fare well down here in FL if it's not making direct contact with metal. Any other surface and it melts off from the heat. Spray glue, silver tape, squeegee, and mastic until something else comes out.
Thank you for fixing that bypass, I was like it's a lovely system until i saw that absolute sinful ductwork. I'll sleep better knowing that was fixed as best as was reasonable to do.
God dang my dude. So impressive. Clean work, knowledgeable AND manage to have the time to edit it into a badass video. Most people dont understand how tough that is. Keep the bangers comin! #bluecollar #dirtyhandscleanmoney
Great job on the returns. That’s something that does not happen enough in the field good air filtration four or 5 inch filters.I do mostly commercial and I am not up to date on air quality products. No idea what’s good. You did a great job on this especially those filters. There’s a lot of furnaces that should have that once you start getting over 4 tons.
I like your content and how clean your work is! Question, after installing all the pieces of equipment into the vent lines did you do a static pressure test? Maybe you did a static before and after and can public what this upgrade did to the air flow. Thanks
I like the idea of the 5” with better air flow and filtering, but could I also change over my return air vents? Have 2 system; 3 returns down stairs in different sections, and one master up stairs in a large open area.
I really enjoy your detail. I didn’t really understand the two filters instead of one on the base can though? Would think you would have a high static drop
Why did you build a cabinet for the 5-inch filter so you can slide them in and out instead of mounting them permanently like that we'd have to cut them out to replace them
Very clean work, much respect! I was wondering why not put the filter cabinet right on the bottom of the machine and connect the return and bypass. That way you only have 1 filter to worry about. Just a question. Your work is spotless. Mad respect. Its hard to stop a Trane 💪🏼
UV light in the air handler system is the only way to use a UV light. Good stuff. Any UV thats powerfull enough to kill will also burn you. so this is perfect. I run one in the air handler.
Awesome job. He wiped and squeegeed for a more refined finish. Thank you so much and I look forward to more amazing content. Keep on brother! I say if you haven't subscribed to the newsletter mid-atlantic please do lots of gold. I can not wait to get society back on track so I can attend the expo. I'm so ready!! If you know you know! Edit* Merry Christmas!
Nice and clean. It does suck how u had no choice on where to put the purifier bcuz the box says before any supply. And u have those 4 zones and 2 of em are right next to it
Nice clean install ! Well Done ! Only thing I’m 💭 g about is strapping that item to the Blower wheel housing. Strapping something to a Spinning object is not desirable. Vibration will shorten the Life of it ! Like #448.
Not really. There is so much surface area to 5 in filters they can last up to a year if pulling from ceiling in a house without dogs. A good 5in has less than .1 drop fully loaded.
How much does something like this cost? Is it better than Reme Halo? I suffer from MCS and I want to do everything I can to prevent mold growth in HVAC system and clean the air in my house. Beautiful work
We don’t see a lot of information about air purifiers directly installed in the AC system. What do you think about a lot of people worried about the ozone that could be generated by the air purifier device and could go into the air we breath in the room ?
Couldn't tell if the filters are in a housing or you connected directly to the filter (looks like directly to filter). Why not make a housing to make changing the filters easier in the future?

The master himself chiming in!

texas does it the right way
Need real mastic too man. It gets all over but wayyy better than tape. Especially for an energy efficient system
Very clean work Zack. You take pride in your work and it really shows.
I have 2 iWaves in my system its been really good so far.

Good job with that bypass damper. How it was the way before would probably be sending a good bit of liquid refrigerant back to the compressor.
This is helpful because I think I am about to try and install one of these on my home myself.
I know next to nothing of what I just saw, but I know an OCD-level worker when I see one!! Excellent work my friend!!
Ionizers clump air particles together making them larger and easier to filter. Putting them after the filter isn't going to do much.

i need to move company to nashville these attics are amazing
Nice looking job as usual. Wouldn't it make sense to insulate the transitions between the filter racks and the return plenum?
Thx! Return plenum and transitions were lined.
Doing big things got someone working with ya?! Nice work man! 👊👊
Yea man, Randy is part of the Co-Op at my local tech school. So nice to have help.
what is the total external pressure now with those filters, usually units are designed to overcome 1 inch
That is a neat looking system
UV air scrubber is what we use. Not too familiar with the one u installed but air scrubber is way easier to install.
Very clean and informative video very nice music too!!!!
I like the idea of the 5” with better air flow and filtering, but could I also change over my return air vents? Have 2 system; 3 returns down stairs in different sections, and one master up stairs in a large open area.
liked your tip about the tape. "be a friend.leave an end"
Awesome instructional vid. Just wouldn't be the same in a 170 deg texas attic. 😓
You are a BEAST man. Such attention to detail, even the little metal plugs for the pressure test. Beautiful work, and merry Christmas!
You’re the sharpest Pro on UA-cam.
Your customers and l are lucky to have you.
Will you FollowUp on the operation of the components you added to see if they are working properly and effectively..???
nice job sir....im also technician in philippines my gratitude to advise to you sir ...
Good work nice and clean. I think spray glue would have been better to use instead of just duct tape.
I really enjoy your detail. I didn’t really understand the two filters instead of one on the base can though? Would think you would have a high static drop
He explained why
You have less static with dual returns. More filter surface area.
Take a bag cut a hole and blow through it the cut a second hole and do the same. More openings less resistance.
Dang, these guys still know how to work - solid
Why did you build a cabinet for the 5-inch filter so you can slide them in and out instead of mounting them permanently like that we'd have to cut them out to replace them
The music makes this channel in watchable
Very clean work, much respect! I was wondering why not put the filter cabinet right on the bottom of the machine and connect the return and bypass. That way you only have 1 filter to worry about. Just a question. Your work is spotless. Mad respect. Its hard to stop a Trane 💪🏼
Ahhhh its nice to see professionals do a job well.
UV light in the air handler system is the only way to use a UV light. Good stuff. Any UV thats powerfull enough to kill will also burn you. so this is perfect. I run one in the air handler.
1.- how do you changue the filters? There's no filter register!!!
2.- how did you select the UV equipment?
if your talking about being able to take the filters out theres a little handle and u pull it the whol side comes out and the filter slides out
You can see the handle on the filter assembly at 9:45
Awesome job. He wiped and squeegeed for a more refined finish. Thank you so much and I look forward to more amazing content. Keep on brother!

Nice and clean. It does suck how u had no choice on where to put the purifier bcuz the box says before any supply. And u have those 4 zones and 2 of em are right next to it
Great craftsmanship
I work with u like a helper no problem sir
You are the GOAT!
An attic that big ????? I DREAM OF IT
Very clean work...
How do you change out the filter if it’s all screwed and taped together?
unscrew it and untape it
alert, new invention called filter box
Question, just curious as to why we would insulate the square to round, but not the fitting after the filter?
are you not creating problems with air movement and pressure?
Your beast bro clean quality work love it 💙bro
Why did you install filters on the returns, and how often will they need replacing.nice job btw...
When to use air bubble insulation vs fiber insulation?
You should have added adhesive spray it will stick better
Very nice…. I have heard uv lights deteriorate coils??? Is that a valid concern?
Quality work bro !
At 0:27 what is that Transition piece in your right hand called? The one that goes from round to square.
Nice clean install ! Well Done ! Only thing I’m 💭 g about is strapping that item to the Blower wheel housing. Strapping something to a Spinning object is not desirable. Vibration will shorten the Life of it ! Like #448.
clean work and clean video. quite inspirational :)
Thank you so much!
Those filters are going to increase pressure a lot after a couple months.
Not really. There is so much surface area to 5 in filters they can last up to a year if pulling from ceiling in a house without dogs. A good 5in has less than .1 drop fully loaded.
How much does something like this cost? Is it better than Reme Halo? I suffer from MCS and I want to do everything I can to prevent mold growth in HVAC system and clean the air in my house.

We don’t see a lot of information about air purifiers directly installed in the AC system. What do you think about a lot of people worried about the ozone that could be generated by the air purifier device and could go into the air we breath in the room ?
Quality work as always
So these all are energized when the fan comes on right?
What's that little plug you put into your hole for the static pressure probe? That looks really clean and much better than the tape I usually use.
You can get them at trutech tools or amazon. Whatever size hole you drill. Nickel plated, silver, black etc...
You need to put duct sealant
Have you used the SSUV-CAT from Ultravation yet?
Couldn't tell if the filters are in a housing or you connected directly to the filter (looks like directly to filter). Why not make a housing to make changing the filters easier in the future?
I attached to the filter housing. Filters easily slide out for replacement.
Can you do a video on the layout of your truck?
Nice job man clean!! What size transformer do you have for the IAQ? 75va?
