Hi i am a 57 year old guy who will be finishing up tech school . I never thought i would be going back to school at my age but really enjoy what i am learning.I wish i would of done it along time ago.I watch your videos and get alot out of them.
Feeding the people !! Your content is the greatest.been learning so much and using it out in the field
Great video like seeing Dan proving his ability more and more everyday. Have a great weekend.
I love those high rise AC pads. I use them on all my installs. Even straight ac. Stay cleaner and don't get beat up by the weed wackers.
Wear do you get those pads????
Hey Mikey pipes. You know since danielson started u havent yelled once. That makes life great having great help. Good job getting danielson.
Im originally from NY, we didnt have heat pumps like you said. But ive been in NC for going on 2 years now and its full of heat pumps. I have not seen any with the liquid line insulated. Since you never installed one like you said and went based off of minisplits, i think it just shows how professional you are and how much you take pride in your work to go that extra step to insulate it to be on the safe side and not give the customer any problems by not insulating it. Great job. You can keep insulating them both if you would like or you really just need to insulate the suction line.
When weighing in the extra charge, do it before you release the refrigerant from the condenser. Since it's under vacuum, it will go very quickly. Afterwards, of course, check sub-cooling to verify. Dan is a great addition. Love the channel. Keep it up!
Hvac Ace.. exactly right.. now with new higher efficiency units you have to perchance as the sbcooling is not what a standard unit runs.
Also, and this may seem counter intuitive, dump it in through the liquid side with your tank on top of the condenser. putting it in from the suction side allows the refrigerant to expand and will actually slow down the process.
I think you have to count your fittings as well to get total equivalent length. I can't remember, it's been a while.
@@hvacgameproper1177 I wouldn't recommend dumping liquid refrigerant directly on top of the compressor in any situation. You would definitely increase chances of slugging the compressor. I guess if you were to start in heat mode it would be OK. I think it is just safer to add liquid to the liquid line while in vacuum.
Another top quality job, makes me wish I could get you to do 2 systems for me down here in Houston.
Keep on keeping on Mikey and Danielson!
Daniel is a keeper! I notice how he asks intelligent questions, goes to the truck to get refrigerant, and was using his calculator to figure out the extra charge without being asked to do so. He's 100% engaged in the job.
@@PipeDoctor feed that mindset he has. if you dont know: say so and find the answer together. its not bad to not know, its bad to guess and hope.
I haven't seen a Mikey Pipes video in forever and this was just what I needed to see, common sense tactics being used with some jokes cracked at crackpot installations! And I think I love your line, "Drive with a purpose!" LOL
Some ppl drive and multi task too much 98 percent of rear enders on phone texting no focus on driving in traffic.,🤔✌️👍💪🙏🖖😁
Hi, Mikey Pipes watching all the way from South Africa, Love the content and the energy you put into your work I can see the passion. We exclusively install heat-pump systems here in South Africa (Mother City, Cape Town) Most beautiful City by far according to me, Anyway, we insulate both lines most expansion devices are located in the condenser units in our Region, and therefore need to insulate both lines. Oh and I do a test with the micron gauge connected directly to my vacuum pump to determine when to change the oil. Great work
Great videos sir. Enjoy watching them!
Mikey Pipes you have very good team now, Daniel is great young worker too
Take great care of that team! Good reliable help is so difficult to find right now.
Love the Bosch 2.0 last one I installed had a nest stat I didn’t realize it at first had to change reversing valve to B because it was trying to run heat at first but those systems are awesome and we’ve started to install a bunch here in NY with back up strip heaters as well. Love your work mike and enjoy watching Bosch installs as well!
I love you mikey pipes. You knock those jobs out!!!Good job. Daniel son reads my comments I see. He is a hard worker like myself and keeps quiet unless its job related...I think you picked a winner mikey...
The TP5B, thats my favorite bag. I absolutely love it, mines stuffed to the brim. It's small bag with a hard bottom, its perfect for service and electrical work. Can't recommend it enough
Yesss. I was wondering when will Mikey pipes post a video for today
That young man is a keeper. Doesn't complain and listens to instructions. I was impressed.
Maybe let the helpers ( mini me) do the video and talking. Then Mikey can answer his questions and comments. It could be interesting.
Up to 18K subs... congrats! Frequent posts and premieres might be tedious but they'll ensure you go far!
This time next year , it's Me Danny Pipes, Mike is off somewhere I'm rolling solo for the day 💪🏾
Mikey will be in Florida and Danielson aka Danny Pipes will be running NY! 👍😊
Good Video Mike! Looking forward to your venture in Florida. You fully converted me to zoom lock and stay bright 8 thanks for all the tips!
St Mike you did that job in one day just like you told me. What a great video. Hello from the great state of Michigan.
I’m happy to hear you praising both of the guys. Mike doesn’t get nearly as much praise as I’m sure he deserves. The short count on material does happen on occasion to all of us ( I’m sure even you Mike) at suppliers. Someone is talking to you and you miss something. The new guy is going to be a real asset to your business as well. That is a great attic to work in. I’ve seen and been in some of “tombs” that you have shown on previous videos. Gotta love days when shit all comes together and the job gets done before the weather. As for the Armaflex on both lines great idea for future when you utilize your heat pump feature. Nice install guys. 👍Mike, 👍Mikey 👍Daniel ( Dan the Man was my nickname, let him have it he deserves it).🇨🇦
Watching your videos makes me wants to get into the HVAC trade. Feel like I missed the boat since I’m 28. Located in NJ. Love watching your videos. My 3 yr old son loves it when he heres you say “Hey! Its me, Mikey Pipes!” Thanks for keeping it real Mike!
I'm 30 and just getting in. It's never too late to learn something new my friend.
Twenty eight is not too old but that’s when I got out of the trade. I got tired of crawling through 140 degree attics.
Desire and commitment play strong , never too old if you got heart into it , very rewarding helping ppl stay cool and warm in the seasons , some days are extreme , some are a cake walk ,💪✌️👍🤔🙏🖖🤙😎💙
Hands down Mikey hits a good positive flow , no editing ,still on point 99.9 percent awesome guy always feeding his viewers and subs. Like his opening vibe too , love his dharma simply good ...
@@shaneevans8963 are you going to a school or getting training/certification via online classes or are you already starting on the job training?
Another great video! Thanks for all you do!
I would change the oil in it after every 10 uses or so. And yes I always open the liquid line first. Also I agree you got a great team. Daniel is a quick learner and made sipicup look like the coyote and road runner
CLC = Constantly losing components? Another great install and another great vid with Daniel-san! You got a powerhouse team there between you, other Mike, and Daniel-san! Keep knocking 'em out!
The Line Set Covers really make the job look great.
Stay brite! Yes, I love it. I used it for years and coworkers called me every name in the book, guess what, if done correctly it works and lasts forever.
Thanks
I would love to start using it.
10 minute...how if "used correctly" will it last forever
Better safe than sorry insulating both line sets. No idea if it’s necessary but sure as heck doesn’t hurt!
Refrigeration tech from FL, I use my vacuum pump at least 4 times a week. It's been over 4 months since the vacuum pump oil has been changed an STILL pulls down to 420 microns within 20 minutes. I know there will be some saying that's disgusting, it works for me lol. And Mikey Pipes knows how moist the air is down here, keep up the GREAT content and don't let Navien hush you up stay!
I re-sent the klein bag after the clc,and I sent good tools,no junk Joe!I think I sent you some stuff to Michael! Give that kid some Scooby Snacks!
One suggestion for a tool that comes in handy on ductwork jobs like this is a Malco hole cutter, you drill a hole in center of circle you want to cut in the plenum and the tool has a special bit that you then spin around the hole you just drilled and it cuts a perfect circle ( tool is adjustable for different round sizes ) no need for a hammer and screwdriver or electric shears to cut a circle out of a sheet metal plenum . Since you have so many nice tools i thought you might look into this next time your at a supply house, and get a couple of extra bits if you get one. Great video and very nice system!
Hi Mike I just find your channel I like your job the way you work is also in the way you treat your workers
Great work as always....Daniel is an HVAC beast lol
Wow that install was a real coat hanger abortion. Good thing you came along they needed that Bosch 2.0 ids
And your getting closer to 20k Mr. Mikey Pipes 👍👍
hey man good video. it is a good feeling when the guys u train are finally producing and becoming more than helpers.
ive been installing many of these units usually with a backup furnace or electric heater.
from what ive learned the W terminal on the outdoor unit is meant for communication of indoor and outdoor unit when the performance of the heatpump drops off around 5 degrees and so the outdoor unit can send 24v to an aux electric heater. unless the home has solar i have been programming th smart thermostat to only run the heatpump to 15 degrees and instead run a 97% furnace or boiler. figured id share this to save you a call to tech support.
i grew up on the northshore and been living in colorado for 10 years. its crazy we got heatpumps here too and even up in the mountains. love your work flow and leadership with the guys. brings me back good memories in shitty attics
I see you found the Spider bits,I love my set,brick,block,concrete, wood etc,they were well worth the money
Hey Mike nice install . I usually do a attic install using as much round pipe as possible on my suppies and retutns . But nothing wrong with flex up to a certain lenght . I change my pump oil every month unless I have a burnout . Then I change it right after that .
30 year vet here in Canada 🇨🇦 Blows my mind the amount of flex used in the states definitely makes for a quick install tho .
Nice job and nice install....
I think some companies may take longer only cause some would do the duct replacement differently. Flex goes in fast so cuts time down drastically. Also having a proper duct design vs just using a supply plenum and return plenum also cuts down time... All good....
Love your introduction, Mr. Pipes!!
Depends how long the line set is for me and how much moisture is in the system. I've noticed the more you use the same oil the harder it is for the pump to pull a deep vacuum
Bro this new Bosch lineup is amazing. So quiet and efficient. Our customers rave about them
That line set 😆 .... Man plus they soldier fittings on roof 😆... So take lazy way to run lineset but we are going to drag torch up just cause a pipe bender is too complicated. You found a gem👌😉
31:06 Donny reppin da scapular aka church necklace aka Soul saver... Stay blessed Michael
daniel is awesome. Good find Mikey!
Love your work learn alot from you regarding hydronic and plumbing, I'm in VA residential service tech. We do have some boilers not as many as I like to see come winter, HP and furnace/AC market predominantly. 1st you open liquid side service valve because if you open suction you run the risk of pulling oil out of compressor per Rudd training course. 2nd I cringed when I saw your duct lay out, all those taps on that long supply plenum otherwise known as the Radial plenum that I would have bubble wrapped in that hot attic. Not my choice lay out because here in Richmond VA we have those in older houses that were strictly heat only with furnaces and when changeout with HP I noticed they struggle to heat. I prefer the reducing truck layout in round pipe definitely with those big HP taking air a long way so it won't get lazy, but I'm far from duct expert just my preference Hope that return box was lined or got warped. Not trying to beat the work up too bad because I do admire the quality you do provide to the customer and talk plenty of shit in the process my kind of guy.
I always put a little refrigerant into the lines to break the vaccum before I release the valves. They can sometimes suck in a little air when you turn them.
Good question about vacuum pumps and oil changing. Generally you will be using your vacuum pump on old systems rather than virginal new systems - unless you have two vacuum pumps and reserve one dedicated to new installs then you should change the oil after each session because because vacuum pumps don't have filters, the oil inside becomes saturated with contaminants, which reduces the pump's efficiency. Once oil is saturated it can't absorb any more system moisture. ... Replacing a vacuum pump's oil is critical to ensuring that your pump will keep running smoothly. Some vacuum pumps have a sight glass to view the oil and its colour - so if you are cheap - you could change the oil as soon as you see a significant colour change.
Tip for you with take offs… squares are low restriction, but the rounds are high. Use a larger take off, with a reducer on it, to match the take off effective length.
I work out in the Hamptons for hardy heating and air conditioning we install heat pumps all the time you don’t have to insulate the liquid line
Great job good team work
The oil acts as a lubricant and sealant for the pump vanes (your two stage fieldpiece, oil seals low to high sides aswell) . I was taught to test operation with a micron gauge before pulling the system down to determine if it was still adequate. the discoloration is an obvious sign on contaminants so change when its looking dirty.
I change mine at every use!
@@petersmart1999 I think that's the best route, our company has a vac charge to cover it too. Just nice to know when you're on that job 2 hours away from the sup house!
My Welch pump was like $4500 so oil is cheeper, I like my pumps,I own several the oldest being 20 years old and they all work geat,but I work on stuff a little bigger than 5 tons,and usually in bad shape,but still I change every use! That's just me maybe
You change the oil for the same reason that was done years ago on oil bath air filters: the oil lubes the pump, maintains the sealing of the pump, and contains the contaminates.
@@petersmart1999 actually, the oil is supposed to be changed immediately AFTER the use.
Amazingly FAST installation !
Nice install were in northern Virginia
Flex is allow no more then 8' for airflow purposes plus life expectancy
Also main trunk can be longer run to split all supplies much better
But every state is different
On my opinion duct work is a work of art too
Nice install very clean I like all you ideas God bless
Absolutely perfect installation again very impressed with that vacuum
Daniel newbie is a keeper!!!
On a new install with a new line set every thing is clean no need to change oil. If you reuse line set it's full of dirty oil you need to change. Before you hook up the pump hook micron gauge right at the pump and if it pulls down to 20 microns the oil is ok
If you are using a micron gauge...I agree with you, when it quits performing well then change it. Pumping down clean dry lineset=not much contamination.
Beautiful install. The customer is going to be very happy with the new system. Maybe Godzilla’s sugar daddy will take care of Daniel.
I change my oil about every 3rd time, but I have an older rotor vane system that runs in the oil and it helps keep scaring down on the vane. on the opening the valves, I always open high side first, keep the flow going in the direction of the normal ac system, I also always start the vacuum on the low side then open the high side once it pulls down.
I subscribed!! Should have done it a long time ago. My Respects!
You should try wet switch for the safety in the pan for air handler works great!
Great Pro tip @5:05………never saw that done before…….well played!
Reverse action works on Skil saw to cutting aluminum no clog on blade or ripping like a wóod butcher stick builder
I’ve installed a LOT of the 2.0’s, they are great, but you need to match the airflow for the home load calc. They will flow 2.5 to 5tons, and be extremely quiet doing it. The 12year warranty is unmatched. Having a thermostat control the air handler’s heat needs the unit can run nearly all day long, ramping up with the sun, and down as the sun drops out. Amazing machines. Best with the Bosch smart thermostat.
Great video, nice install. I was curious if the air handler has any kind of electric aux heat or e-heat. Seems like the low winter temps. are not ideal for a heat pump. Wonder what the Bosch manual says about the subject?
On the collar cutting, I like the compass drill tool better than the zip install.
Some people work fast,some people work smart, and some people work hard! Very rare you find someone that does all the above. Some people watch shit happen, some people make shit happen, some people wonder what the f$ck just happened! Keep making shit happen Mike love this channel!
I always change it after every time I’ve seen it were it won’t pull down more I’ve also had my samn and micron gauge wouldn’t pull down ended up getting oil had to use alchol to get rid of the oil good as new
Yes, on a “heat pump” unit we always insulate both lines. Certain systems are actually more efficient heating than natural gas boilers/furnaces down to 30 degrees or so depending on the cost of electric & gas. Around here the magic COP number is 3.5. Once the COP drops below 3.5 a 95% natural gas system is more efficient.
Heat pumps very common here. We have pre-insulated coils for domestic stuff here just roll it out all ready to go
Colder winters up there seemed like the right thing to do ,on a line set over 40 ft on top of it. Condensate coil freezing up 20' with a wind chill in the low teens roof top ,for a computer room sub floor cooling had to thaw out with torch about 20 yrs. ago charge was good , temp Thermal wrap till cold front pushed thru .👍💪🙏✌️electrical power only, no propane or natural ...
No need to insulate liquid line but doing so won't heard anything, excellent install love your work man keep the good work.
dont look at efficiency, look at cost. how much is a Kw of energy from gas and how much from a heat pump? and take note of the REAL efficiency of a gas burner, not its theoretical listed rating. once you look at that you will probably see much lower COP numbers.
🙋♂️ I like the shot at the end running the a/c with the second floor window open!🙈
Mike,
Opening Service Valves
Manufacturers are different. The Bosch 2.0 systems advise in the installation manual that the Vapor side is to be opened before the Liquid side.
Dan the Man, was starting that cut in the sheetmetal, like a real tin banger.
Keep in mind, the line sets need to have an inverted loop when evaporator is above the condenser. I usually route the lines up and over the air handler before the drop down.
I've never wrapped the liquid line in a heat pump because it doesn't create condensation but wrapping it in the attic might help the refrigerant not pick up any attic heat so might be a good idea.
The best idea was never go back to the truck empty handed!
Saves bunch of time on cleanup and saves your body from climbing down from the attic or up from the basement multiple times! Great install job!
Daniel made me proud to see him use that old school way of making a hole in the duct.
Mikey, great job! I thumbs up your vid! Those 5 thumbs down are the folks that couldn't get the job done in 1 day!
I work on a lot of pre-existing system's large RTU's and I have to vacuum through compressors. Vacuum oil being new helps cut down time to vacuum system down for me. Sometimes vacuum will plateau the only thing I do change oil in middle of vacuum than system will continue to pull down. New copper and non contaminated system usually vacuums down quickly... Usually , depending on condition.
Totally just bought a CLC bag. Didn’t think it looked that bad. Hopefully it lasts longer than a few weeks.
@@PipeDoctor I’m rough on my tools so that’s not good news. Oh well! Im gonna roll with it and buy something nicer when this falls apart. 😂
Props to Mikey for putting peoples well being above money. I would have to say most companies would have protected the manufacturer for profits sake.
From the Bosch manual: The Suction Service Valve must be opened first BEFORE opening the
Liquid Service Valve.
Probably because oil doesn't like to travel in a vapor.
I have used that formula for 21 years now and never had a problem , it is different for a mini split .27 instead of .06
Great install.....
Great job! Love those Wago’s !!! 👍. Danielson A++++ ❤️😊 I am fed baby!!!!
We do a lot of Heat Pumps in texas and ive never had to insulate the liquid line but looks nice!
Best knee pads are ProKnees. They aren't the best when climbing a ladder, but any other time, perfect. great for straddling ceiling joists They are fit to your size. Bummer is they aren't cheap. Mine are 15+ years old and are starting to need a rebuild kit.
You are the man Mickey pipes
I don't change my vacuum pump oil every time. I check it by putting the micron gauge directly to the pump. If it pulls down to around 50 microns in less than 30 seconds it's good 👍👌
Open the SUCTION valve first (slowly!). That prevents oil loss out of the compressor into the discharge line and out of the liquid line.
Congratulations on 18K!
this comes directly from the rses source on deep vac pulling
When servicing today’s systems we
must change the oil as soon as it becomes
contaminated and no less frequently than
every time the vacuum pump is used.
Because the oil should be changed after
the vacuum pump is used and while the
oil is still hot, a look at the oil can indicate
what is happening in the system. White
cloudy oil indicates excessive moisture.
Brown oil can indicate a burnout (which
should be confirmed by an acid test) or a
failure to properly clean the system. Oil
with black or grey specks is usually the
result of a previous technician who failed
to purge nitrogen while brazing.
Mike, the reason the liquid line would be insulated is because, on a mini split, what is usually a liquid line is actually an expansion line.
The metering device is in the condenser and the cold line will condensate inside the home and cause damage.
Since you are using a txv at the air handler the insulation is not needed.
the reason you change oil from an air compressor or a vacuum pump is due to the moving parts (friction). The oil breaks down when it's heated and re-heated and looses it's viscosity. Steel or Aluminum moving parts also break down over time leaving fine particles in the oil and oil will start to turn dark which shows that there is normal wear on the moving parts. If you keep the old oil in and keep running it, the parts will wear considerably causing the motor to seize up. Oil should be replaced after every 1 full hour of use.
Think you can get that unit any closer to the house. Their is also web site you can go to for charging long line sets. Takes seconds only thing extra from that book that was provided for your install, it asks for line set size.
When he point and say " nice bending work there..." I laugh so hard and fell off the chair. Seriously, I'm amature weekend warrior but this shit is beyond my thought.
Like the ur work continue good work.
Mikey Pipes……Hell of a Team you have with you……everyone seems to know their duties and responsibilities. Heck of a platform to launch your expansion to the FLA………just saying!
Some of these homes have nice floors :) Argh, this house again, that AC install was...I have no words really.
One other thing to take into account on the condenser unit is the spray pattern of the sprinkler system. You took out some plants to set the unit in it's new place, but had a sprinkler riser head on both sides of the unit, don't need to drown the unit. (lol)
@@PipeDoctor My bad, did not think that way, I have installed coil coolers on units in Las Vegas on roof top units. Air temp around 110 deg's. roof temp 140 deg's.
