" Somebody already played with it, it's already hard" classic Lavimoniere...LOL

That was an easy remove and replace evaporator for sure ! Good design by the manuf. Also, very smart idea to use the 20% silver solder, eliminating extra time to flow nitrogen and braze. I guess it helps that the original installation was done in a good way too. Rather sad the copper joints failed on the old one and even more sad that the manufacturers don't supply new copper replacement evaporators as the aluminum tube tend to corrode and leak in a short 6 to 10 years. If you have the needed tools and equipment, it sure makes the job go smoother. I have seen guys beat their head against the wall by not having the proper gear to get a job done correctly and in a smooth fashion.

Great job Steve, it takes a lot of tools and equipment to do air conditioning installs.

Love the two part, glad the customer got right after it. Never saw skylights in rafters before.

Thanking for posting this promptly. When I saw part 1, I was hanging on the edge like a soap opera.

Good job, Steve. You're well organized.

This whole time I’ve been hearing people say pump down I thought they just meant evacuate. I didn’t even know you could do that

Well explain as always 👍👍

Steve I wish it was mandatory for all licensed A/C techs to use all the fancy equipment you use. These young kids that work for a small outfit just slam refrigerant in without using any vacuum pump or gauges. Great job!

It's a pleasure watching you work, Steve...

I love that StayBrite 8 solder for installing new equipment. It’s great stuff.

The detail of the video was great. Awesome job!

Another kick ass video Steve, great craftsmanship, and the video was awesome al well! 👏 💥👌👍🫵☝️

Good video Steve one of your best

Hey man,you explained vividly. Good job done

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again y’all. 👍👍

And he had the manifold open 😬so it was pumping down possible air in that manifold from the 😅the hoses, just need the gauge part , manifold doesn’t need to be open , unless recovering. Right after compressor got pretty noisy , some scrolls can take it some can hold it and it will make noise and possible not pump down all the way

VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO STEVE, LOVE IT.

Great Video. Thank you for sharing

We have to use locking caps in my town. Nice install by the way.

Muy buen vídeo gracias por compartir

Excellent fix steve 👍

old school the right way , call backs cost a lot more time and $ good job!!!!!

Thats a nice set up. I was wondering where to keep my back up hose's - other than ziplock bags. Went and got another back pack to hang of the head rest.

Nicely done Steve!

We like those TechTips Steve.

Quality again Steve good professional work

I have that same dome type skylight window! Cranks out the same. Put it in myself. Dad had it hanging around in pole barn from the 80/early nineties' so I put it in few years back! It has a deep well on the inside to out (between joists). Exactly, lets heat out of A frame loft. She could, it may help shingles last longer, depending on attic ventilation. has bug screen. 😀

Nice job... Watching a real pro.

Great work.

Nice save on that unit Steve, STAYBRITE #8 is actually only 6% silver & 94% tin. To bad that new coil was aluminum not copper.

Man, this was really excellent. I learned a lot on this one. Someday could you explain the bulb upstairs? That's the only part I'm still not completely clear on. I will look back and see if you have some other videos about it.

Excellent video, Steve!

Great video Steven!!

Steve's workin again, y'all!

Good job 😊

Nice job

Great video Steve next level

A lot of work and know how went into that job.

Steve - best video yet. What a clinic!

Video reminded me to check my own micron gauge, I had left the battery in it!

Smart tech tip!

smart to back off your gage i noticed you cranked it in. on you nitrogen tank, you were schooled well. i do it all the time it serves to purposes in my mind. safety from some one accidently hitting the valve on the tank and takes stress off the diaphragm. you should do it on all ages oxy acc. etc.. IMHO any thing with a spring tension when not in use back off the pressure. torque wrenches fire arms throw the bolt forward a good practice

Howdy Steve and Molly. Steve, you're the man

You made that look easy steve

Tip: Teflon tape is subject to being dissolved by pag and algabenzene oils. Use leak lock sealant

Good job Steve! That Staybrite stuff looks amazing. I think I’m gonna order some to try it out. They say it even works on stainless.

Nice. A lot of companies would have said "The whole unit needs replacing".

i have Gauges for Sale Steve.. Great Fix Steve..

Hey Steve, great video job well done. Just curious what is a job like that run roughly

I’m kinda not a big fan of pumping it down. Ik it’s faster, I just feel like it stresses the compressor too much and a lot of the oil will stay in the old evap which takes away from the lubrication

I think remember you installing this one.

Wow if the attics here in pa had those windows I'd be in paradise. Lay back and take my time. Maybe get lucky and find an attic vent or fan

great video what app are you using on the tablet and how to connect wirelessly to your gauges i a a DIY learn a lot from you

Maybe its not rocket science, but pretty damn close in my book. Thanks, Steve...

"Eeeezy Peeezy" Stevie!! make it look Simples! UK

👍🔥🔥

Curious, whats the approximate job time for this A coil job. It looked to be pretty straight forward for that job condition. I am sure some can be rather tough. Easy peezy, wham bam - done. In my area they quote 4 hours for this job.

Is it an universal evaporator coil fit most brand ?

I can already see the leak in 12 months!

Did you warranty the coil?

Steve How do you fix a small hole, leak in this type of coil with no copper just aluminum tubing ?

Those look like Pella skylights ,they can be motorized with a switch

What did you replace the 410a with

Glad you checked for leaks.......twice !! 😅

Steve, did you remove the old drier or leave it in? Thanks for this video.

Nice

Man is that a copper evaporator coil? I would have tried to fix it because them new aluminum evaporator coil are straight garbage!

My Parents have a 30" Chicken House Fan in their Attic. I guess it still works. I don't walk very Good now, so I don't go over there very much.

Hello Steve!

You should start classes Steve , you could teach the likes of mikey pipes a thing or two.

You never took the dryer out of the old unit when you installed a new dryer

I see the new one is al. The old one is copper

Never mind

Where was the drier ?

You get a 10 year warranty with that with the old one

The equipment being made today is pure garbage. Just found out my Ruud evap coil is pissing refrigerant. Zero charge in the system. Entire system is less than 7 years old. Now I'm on the hook for at least the labor, assuming it's still under the 10 year parts warranty. Absolutely pisses me off.

Another Leka Momma.

First

i like stay-brite 8

Used to love your videos but completely fell out on this one using stay bright # 8 in place of 15% silfoss on a 410a system and not even running nitrogen while brazing even using stay bright #8 you should still be running nitrogen I've seen it ash of many times on the inside.

Reason you don’t have to purge with stay bright is cuz not high enough heat is needed like braze. But h still got it red hot. Defeats the purpose

there no such thing as copyright

Just installed a new Rheem unit. Hope the aluminum coil does not rot out right away like so many seem to do.

I was about to talk shit for not brazing but than I realized that with todays garbage coils the soldered joint will outlast the coil. There is no need to braze anymore unless it is a very high pressure commercial system. And you are 10x more likely to screw up a braze than a solder.

Hello Steve!
