Has anyone ever hear of one of the big HVAC companies doing this?
I admit this video touched my heart. We need more of this world wide.
company i work for does a monthly system for people in need
@@Cresqa nice, so that’s one out of hundreds. Is this common for big HVAC companies? Because it seems to a lot of us that they are more interested in ripping people off than helping them.
Wrong question to ask. Question that you should be asking is would anyone actually do this without any sort of monetary return? The answer is No. This video will pay for the replacement with time. Yes he's still doing a good thing regardless of this but ultimately he needs to eat too :).
@@VeganPies you clearly missed my point. You must work for one of those big companies. But thanks for your comment anyways.
I was having problems with my system not being able to keep up with the 100+ temps outside. I was quoted $18,000 and offered payment plans to replace my system by the first company that came. Another company ACTUALLY checked my supercool and superheat and showed me the readings in real time. I was charged $250 while the technician explained the SC and SH to me and added more refrigerant to the system to get my SC from 25 to 34. Now my system keeps up with the heat and everything is going great. Can't believe I was quoted $18,000 for a $250 fix on a 7 year old system.
Rivals an electric company that quoted me $12,000 to replace my outdoor electrical panel with a $350 panel from Lowes. I told them I would rather pay to have a hard disconnect installed and then illegally replace the panel myself, or die trying. I'm not paying $5,500/hour labor unless it's to make my car fly.
Blueridge and you HVAC experts are truly following God's desire that that we take care of the less fortunate in our society .......... especially elderly widows.
Thank you and Alpine for taking care of those in need. Just her mentioning what her monthly copay for medication was is heartbreaking. I am thankful for this blessing for her.
Thank you all for blessing our seniors!
Somebody else that has finally found Alpine Home Air. I found them and purchased my 2ton Blue Ridge mini split from them about a year and a half ago. Their products are awesome and their customer service is second to none. From purchase to help with install they were great all the way. When I first found them, I couldn't find a lot on UA-cam. This was awesome to see. What a great company and looking forward to seeing more of their products!! Love to see you doing kind services like this for people in need. Great job
I bought a gas furnace…was scared cuz unknown name brand…runs good …had it up for five years before selling the house…will by again, alpine sells to consumer with no license required unlike retail box store…
Thanks to you and Blueridge for helping out a senior. Bless you
I want to extend a big thank you you to you for all the instructionals. I was recently quoted $13k for a new heat pump system 2.5 tons. I started watching your videos and decided I could do it myself. I got my EPA 608 cert in 2 days and bought a Goodman for about $4k.
When I got up in the attic to replace the air handler, I noticed that my duct board had mold growing in it so I had to replace all the ducting as well. Who knows how much that would have cost extra from the hvac company. In total I spent about $2500 on tools and additional supplies. So all in all I have a brand new system with new ducting for only $6500. I’m sure with the duct replacement I would’ve been looking at about 16,000 total. What a savings! For those thinking about doing it themselves, it’s definitely not as easy as it looks but the lessons you will learn along the way are life-changing. I no longer have to call an HVAC guy and trust what they say is correct. I know everything about that system.
Where or how did you get your training for the EPA certification? How much did that cost you? Do you have to take a test of some sort?
Skillcat online certification. I got it for free because they offer a 7 day free trial
A couple more tips.
1. Practice brazing a ton before trying to braze on the unit.
2. The whole process took me about four weeks. Mostly due to me finding the time to work on it and also due to trying to find items that are not available to purchase to the public. For example, finding a place that would sell me duct board was next to impossible. Pro tip for those out there that need duct board, go to Ferguson.
You’ll have to call an expert eventually
@@meridianline7291 Why? If he has the chops to install the unit and understands how it works, he has what it takes to maintain and repair the system if it needs it.
As a consumer I can certainly understand skepticism when someone offers something for free. It's easy to become blackpilled and assume everyone is trying to game the system or run a scam. It's refreshing when it's not a scam. You earned a new subscriber. I hope she enjoys her more modern and efficient unit.
Good work, DIY HVAC GUY and Alpine Home Air. 👏 What I liked most about this video was seeing someone who really needed a new system and the labor to put in, get it for free. Imagine how good she feels about this. Also, her dog stays cool in summer and warm in winter, too! 🐶 I liked the whole video.
You helping this 84yr.old woman was a wonderful thing that did!! Thank You!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! R and W
Nice program. I'm all for helping the elderly. Great job.
Outstanding act of compassion and philanthropy. Great HVAC work as well. We need more people like you. 🙏
A gentleman like you is a blessing for people who are on a fixed income. We enjoy watching your videos because you're always thorough. You explain, in detail, the issue(s) as well as the installation of a new system. Thanks to you and Alpine for helping the community!!! 👍
My mom passed away this earlier this year at 98. Video like this warms my heart. Thanks you for everything you do.
What a touching video! The attention to detail on the install was spot on! You could tell she was very happy and blessed to have this financial burden lifted. Keep doing what your doing!
Thank you all ,for blessing our seniors.
Helping people who needed it the most, can't beat that feeling. Love it.
Great job, and it's awesome you're getting to do this. The satisfaction when leaving is the best feeling.
Helping those that deserve is great, keep up the great work.
Thank you Alpine for being a company that cares.
I installed my 3 ton Blueridge Condenser and cased acoil myself. Unit has worked flawlessly for 5 years so far. I commend you for getting that install project together for that nice lady !
As a 30 year pro this was an excellent installation. You guys are doing great!
Blessings to those who help the widows and the fatherless! Well done!
Fatherless ? that’s the entire urban community!
Amazing...u helping out our precious elderly...and bring a big smile..
THIS Guy is awesome wish America had more of YOU
Great video! Thanks DIY HVAC for looking after those who need help. And Thank you Alpine for Supporting this program. In a time where the world seems to be falling apart this means a lot to people.
Bought a blueridge 80% gas furnace in 11/2020. Got it from Alpine Home Air. Top notch on both, the furnace and customer service. By the end of the year. I will be replacing a 2 ton 1993 goodman with a slab coil. The original set up is 10 seer at best. With the new equipment, i will jump to 18 seer. Can't wait.
Great job, I appreciate the entire premise of your video. To help people who are less fortunate. You could see the ease and comfort in her face. Thank you
I’m sure she said a special prayer for your team. Good job guys!
Good guys, good equipment company, doing good things for the people that are in need.....There is still hope in this world
What a fine young man you are. May God bless you richly for this help you’re providing her…
She probably would have never replaced that old one, great job
Yeah because it didnt need replaced. This guy just did it for likes.
Brother I’m an AC tech myself in Florida & i think this is so beautiful & awesome bro. I’m inspired to do something like this myself self down here. Thank you brother
This reminds me of the channels that do yard renovations for the poor and/ or retired. Anyone who is willing to donate labor and products to improve the lives of folks who need it the most while expecting nothing in return.... Having a compassionate heart of gold seems rare now-a-days. Thank you for having such a heart!
God bless you man....that's awesome!....The world needs more of this, we should always take care of our elders.
It's nice to see people that are willing to help those in need,
This kind of thing really hits home for me. Just last weekend I was helping two of my mom's friends get their home computer situation straightened out. They are in their 80's also, and modern tech can be kind of confusing for them. If anyone has an elderly friend, relative or neighbor, just ask if they need a hand with anything. Sometimes they are a little too proud or shy to ask for help. Another great video and I learned a lot. Thanks and keep them coming.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! God bless you brother! We all need more kindness like this.
DIY HVAC Guy is good guy.
Awesome great to see you helping senior citizens your a good man
Very nice, helping senior citizens. Helping a military veteran senior citizen would be nice too. Thanks.
Been without AC for over a month now living in the high desert of SoCal, during a record breaking heatwave. Our Home Warranty is replacing our AC and scheduled for install tomorrow. Using a portable AC for bedroom, and portable Swamp Cooler from the garage blowing into the house. Funny how I ordered a Minisplit for my garage and the very next day the Central Air quit working. It has been a tough month but lucky to have had the portable AC and Cooler already to help. Got the Minisplit installed in the garage and is working great. My house is 2600 sq ft and the garage is 1100 sq ft. The Swamp Cooler has been keeping house 20 to 30 degrees cooler than outside air but when we leave and turn everything off the house heats up to upper 80s. Started watching your channel after my situation developed and have learned a lot. Funny too that since we got into this heatwave our local community Facebook page has exploded with people having issues with their AC. From what I have learned watching your videos I will be able to determine the quality of work of our installer.
Just get one of those big industrial gas heaters for your garage, they are way higher quality than minisplits and put out a ton of heat
What a fine and generous thing you are doing. This is truly providing for the less fortunate, who need things that they sometimes can’t afford. What would this woman have done if her system had quit working? God has blessed her by sending your kindness and expertise to her, and you in turn will be blessed for helping someone in need. I hope you can continue to do these things for deserving individuals.
Can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. God bless you young man for helping this lady out. Kudos to Alpine as well. We just had our HVAC replaced and had the same Carrier condenser. It was noisy just like hers. I liked everything about this video. Both the technical and the emotional reaction. Hearing her talk about the cost of her medication broke my heart. There are literally millions of folks in that exact same situation. Knowing that you brought her some relief makes the world a better place. Keep paying it forward.....and THANK YOU for what you do and using your talents for a good cause!
This guy is awesome! I recharged my old system with R22 thanks to him, saving me hundreds if not thousands, I love UA-cam for this kind of things.
This is amazing. I appreciate you going above and beyond for them!
Thanks for a huge help you gave to that elderly lady. Well done!
God blessed her with a angel like you. Hope there's a lot more blessings for people in need
Good things must happen to good people!
I think it awesome what you do for people !!!! Your a true Patriot 🫡🫡🫡
Well done and thanks for helping this lady out. It was nice to see the entire replacement process as well.
I liked the new filter rack upgrade and coil reveal! Oh, and that the dog was happy too! Great job!
Thank you and Alpine for helping seniors in need. You’re a true Gentleman.
Excellent work and assistance to the elderly who are in need of a new system!
When I had my HVAC business in upstate NY
I installed a free hydronic boiler system for a dad who had cancer.
He could not get reliable service in that area.
P&M Mechanical from CT
Unlike the crooks who tried to get my mother to pay 14000 for a condenser and fan motor. As a non professional I could have bought it for 2500 in my area. Thank you just for being honest. The world needs more of that. I hope someday you retire very wealthy.
That was probably the airhandler and condenser with ductwork upgrades and a high efficiency system. You won't even come close to getting an 18 seer for $2,500 cost. The new systems need full airflow to be efficient. Too many fly by the night companies will just stick one back in where the old one was without doing anything else. You have to change the airhandler if the old one is r22 because 410a needs bigger evaporator coils to fully vaporize.
@@Bryan-Hensley No I read the paperwork. It's my mother. It was for 13 seer no upgrades. They were just slimy that was all.
@@jdub976 why didn't she get multiple quotes? At least 4.
You are a very special human being it was so nice to see how happy this elderly lady was after you put in the new system. Keep up the good work.😊
This is a wonderful program. it is so kind to help the elderly. I really wish you were closer to Dolan Springs, Arizona. I certainly have the perfect older person in mind for this kind of program.
I think that this is the second one I saw you give away. It makes me smile. What I like is that it supports people who can’t really afford it. I think I will join the monthly option to give a little more resources for you to do this! Well done !!! Ps … one of the things I like about your videos is at the end you put a link to a next video … and I can keep on your channels. Stu
I work around the Social Services Department here in NJ and she can get Medicare assistance with prescriptions. I am sure she is eligible for many programs through Utah and the county she lives in. If she does an intake at her counties social services department and also gets assistance with her Medicare she could be eligible for Medicaid. No one should have to pay that for prescription's. My dad does with one but he has a good retirement plan and makes above the threshold for assistance. I wish her the best and you are pretty awesome for all that you have done and what you will do in the future for people in need :-)
Super nice to help others when you can, and older people seems they get preyed on so super nice for you to help that lady!
Hola 👋 señor Dave!!! You are keeping America 🇺🇸 great 😊 we need more people like you…I’m happy for the lady who needed a new ac unit cause sometimes the hot 🥵 summer is brutal and those elders live by themselves they need to have the proper home services like cold ac, proper electrical installation, heating system etc Gracias!!! mister DIY for sharing and helping your community…Saludos!!!!👋😃👋
I appreciated the smile on her face at the end...priceless.
That was an awesome blessing for that dear lady.
❤ God bless your heart. I have to start calling you "Super Dave"! You are a super hero!!!
WOW, you guys are awesome Alpine and DIY Hvac Guy, good on you to help that senior out, I was actually surprised how old that system was.
Your videos have helped me save hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Thank you.
Thanks for your video how too’s.
You make all of this look so easy. Already put your advice to work. Saved a lot of money. I have advised others to watch your videos. Thanks again.
Thanks for taking care of us seniors. Love how your video goes step by step in the install process.
Simply awesome. As a DIY'er, I appreciate how you mounted the filter to the bottom of the furnace and then how you sandwich it all together. I'm also interested in how the cased coil gets attached to the existing ductwork above it. Everything else is pretty much straight forward for me. I went to school for electrical engineering and I like to work on cars as a hobby to I appreciate the hands on videos. I used Alpine Home Air back in 2016 to purchase a 16 seer heat pump to replace my 10 seer York and Alpine was very helpful. I learned most of my skills by watching you HVAC pros for a few years, studied the HVAC text book, got some tools and replaced the entire system by myself. The system is still running smooth. I did replace the defrost board but that's it. All the best to you.
God bless you brother! We have to look out for the seniors in our lives.
Thank you for everything you do. I am partially blind and your videos have helped me tremendously to be able to do some repairs and maintenance on my HVAC system. God Bless you buddy.
This is AMAZING!! As active community guy I really appreciate when people, and companies, do this kind of charity for less fortunate people... WAY TO GO! Good job! Looking forward to watch more of those hearthfelt actions toward the people. I'm already an avid follower and I keep following, and watching your clips, even more!
amazing for taking care of those that are in need. Thank you to the people who make it possible.
I absolutely love that you are helping people in need. I enjoy watching all of your videos - I have learned a lot as a homeowner. Thank you and God bless.
I like how you're able to help someone out, and like the installation videos.
Awesome job! You really made a difference in her life.
That is just awesome. There are so many seniors that can barely afford food let alone a new 10K A/C system. Thank you guys for helping out our seniors.
Because most dont need a new AC system. Older systems were much more reliable.
It’s great you’re helping people who need help. That’s a blessing!
I watch every video you make. I worked in the vending industry and did the refrigeration work. I installed my own air conditioning and my two neighbors (free labor & some parts). At 84 I can no longer do the labor thing but I can do the diagnostic. Keep up the good work. Wish I had all the new tools available now. I still have my old refrigeration tools.
Great video, love the fact you all are helping elderly people on fixed incomes who in no way could afford replacing this on their own. Nice!
You guys are awesome for helping that that lady out with that new system , great job again
That was so cool (no pun intended!) of you and your sponsors to help this homeowner. ❤️👏👏👏♥️ Being kind to others is what I enjoyed most about this video. It was beautiful.
Great video she didn't cry but I almost did thinking of my grandmother. Thanks for helping her out.
The Best part of this install was it's Free to an elderly Lady in need! Thanks so much for these Giveaway videos :)
What a nice lady. So thankful to you for helping her out. You're a Godsend!
Excellent work Sir. It's Nice to see that there are Still Good Caring Souls in todays World. Thank You ! ! !
It’s good to see people receive some generosity and goodwill
You helping people and using your money to do it, you will always have my respect. You continue to do right and keep jesus close to your heart, you deserve so much more.
I applaud you for helping people that would otherwise not be able to afford a new hvac system, I wish that I could do something similar in my area. I have never heard of Blueridge but it looks like descent equipment. I install Weatherking and York.
Thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot from them. It is great that you are able to help those in need.
I think it is great that Vloggers help the elderly with maintenance expenses to their home. I have also seen roofers help and replace roofs completely for seniors. Unlike, others "low life" pray on elders to scam them of hard-earned money. That new system installed is approx $13K-$15K parts and labor costs for southern California prices. the technical info on how to and helping our elderly was the best. Good Karma!!! for this, you earned my Sub!!!!
Thanks you and your family for helping your community. Great video.
This video is so awesome . Not only the technical stuff on the installation. But the fact of helping someone in need. Love you guys😊
Good for you Guys! You saved that lady from a lot of financial grief, now she has a comfortable cool home. 😊
how awesome! love how you sat with her at the end! sending good vibes your way!
Nice to see there are still people who care about others at a time when most just care about themselves. There may be hope for the USA after all. With the current prices of food and utilities most people on fixed incomes can barely pay for necessities much less home repairs. We that are bless to have good jobs with extra income can at minimum give to food banks to help the people in need, because those people could become your parents and grand parents. GOD knows that our government in not worried about our american citizens anymore. GOD Bless all who have this calling on their life. Thank you all for what you do and what you will do in the future.
Awesome Job! Thank you for your service and donation to your local community! Keep up the good work. 😇
I love how we are providing for the elderly! Good job!
This is so awesome! It's so great to help the elderly have peace of mind.
I loved her reaction plus just really enjoy the technical installation. I wish you were in the Central Virginia area.
Great video, and great deed! I appreciate it not being clickbait, and has a good mix of technical and emotional coverage. Nice work!
