good job bro that was clean

I am a 49+ year HVAC&R tech and sometimes find myself having to do installations and sheet-metal work occasionally, thanks for these videos. Your never to old to learn.

Give this dude a raise. Guys like that don’t just walk in off the street everyday.

This exactly why I subscribe to this channel for the great information. A ladder used as a break, never thought of that in the last 30 years of doing HVAC work. Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, this trick I will remember.

Really refreshing to see old school ingenuity at work. Really nice work. Not many residential guys in my neck of the woods that have that level of skill with metal. Love that you showed accomplishing pro result with simplest of tools.

Professional done my friend. Even an old guy like myself learned something today.

Thats how I use to do it on my side hustles. Get that man electric shears and a Malco Porta Brake. Good looking plenum for what he had to work with. 👍👍that show experience. PS- I would recommend to younger guys watching this to NOT move a 20+ yr old evap coil. Someday that will bite you in the ass. Customers will play the "it didn't leak before you touched it" game.

I don’t even understand how he gets such clean bends and cross breaks with a ladder.. this guy is incredible

That ladder trick was gold 💪🏼

Great work! That is a beautiful job you did there. Very professional !!! Wish you were around here as I have an issue that needs fixed.

Using an aluminum ladder as a bending brake and having it look professional... how creative .

Great work young man! You explained what you were doing very well. Thanks for your video!

Great video. Quality craftsmanship. Thankyou

Amazing job Edward!!!!

Dag gone! That's some pretty clever work!

Nice job.thanks for sharing👍👍👍

I love this guy! He's a machine!

I hate to be “that guy” but I have to point out that he did not Insulate the case. But I would also like to say that his craftsmanship is on point, and his dedication to meeting his customers need is above and beyond. Well done sir 🤙👏

Great job 👏

Nice job!

Kick ass man. Respect.

beautiful work

Good job !

Really good job. Keep going You are awesome

Very nice! I struggle sometimes using a portable bender. I think you could use anything todo a bend and it would still look good. lol

Shaaazam! Dude is 100% about his business. Nice job! Using the ladder was stellar! Haters don't even open your mouth...you'll just look stupid.

Excellent

Wow! That was clever!)

Nice job, like the ladder idea. I always thought you were suppose to leave at least 2" in between the evap coil and top of the furnace. I know most guys want at least 6" above the furnace. Sometimes you don't have the room, but it looked like you could have raised the coil quite a bit. Great job though.

Beautiful

This is a random shot but how much would you charge someone to do this? I had my furnace replaced and had a similar issue . The old Furnace was over 4 feet tall and the new one was 2 feet. They build a 2 foot junction box and are charging us $1700 for that. I feel like I could do it for fraction of that cost

Good clean

Amazing!

Awesome 👍

Wow those skillz 💯💥🔥🔥

Looks pretty good for building it on the floor. His cross breaks looked like they were done on a brake, not a ladder. I’m sure they will insulate the duct on the outside. He just wanted to show off the craftsmanship.

It had never crossed my mind to use the step ladder to do the cross breaks! Very talented guy working out of a five-gallon bucket; fortunately, in my market it not good practice to replace only one side of the comfort system, unless the customer absolutely cannot do it any other way.

Great video! Have a question for the front piece that goes over the line set and drain. Could u have put that piece up against the drain pipe and trace around the pipe with a marker and then cut that spot on the front piece

Do you enjoy playing the drums?

amazing

Hey quick question do you guys use P3 duct. Or phenol

Outstanding job using the tools on hand. Did a better job than most guys with a shop brake. Great video. Check out a “ Hensler Bender” great tool for your van.

Could you also use an expansion duct to connect the new furnace to the plenum box? Just asking. Excellent video though.

dayum...he just made 3 sides outta 1 piece and made factory cross creases with a ladder. This dude is a baaaaaad maaaan

Thank you for sharing. What gauge do you use for sheetmetal plenums?

I'm surprised he didn't address the rusty evap coil pan.

It's like watching somebody do origami with metal!

Guys a magician

You need table, for laying out ductwork, save your back !

No insulation? Sheet metal is definitely my weak point. I did learn something. I would have used a cased coil and then make a transition to the plenum though. And most coils have a schrader you can recover from if it’s raining, but probably not necessary for lowering it a couple inches.

Do coils not need insulation to prevent sweating?

Wow

I wish I could use tin can to make my transitions. (Also the existing duct almost never lines up like that)

No insulation??

Must be using either 28 or 26 ga. metal to bend that easy.

I literally just left a customers house that had a butchered Evap housing and I was thinking “I need to learn how to correct this myself”

Great duct work! Should a coil not be atleast 6 inches from heat exchanger?

Are these Kolos employees?...

That box will sweat with no insulation.

My head hurts watching this lol Dude really did it the hardest and most time consuming way possible, looks like he needed 6 inches just buy a 6" furnace box next time lol

Nice job!
