- In this video I show my process on removing the existing Ruud heat pump split unit and installing a new 3 ton RunTru heat pump split air conditioner. On this job I reused the existing refrigerant lines, so I flushed them R11x and purged with nitrogen. This is my first time installing this new product line made by Trane. I'll go a few things that I like about the product as well as a few things that I don't. Hope you enjoy the video, happy HVACing.

Zach another outstanding job. I like how meticulous you are on your jobs. You're a class act. Thanks again for another great video.
Thx Anthony! That’s means a lot. I really appreciate your feedback.
Someone call the county Inspector. Most likely he did not pull a permit for that installment, as there is no way in hell that outdoor unit will pass to code. Or he failed it, then he did not list a video going back for being a idiot.
😂 call the county inspector? Quality HVACR must be a competitor in your area.
@@CryptoAbe Never run line and low voltage wire in the same raceway or conduit!
@@HVACToolReview lmao no. Sent Video to Tennessee contractors board with license number 70694. I hope he pulled a permit cause that is evidence....
*Used to supplement the up stairs when it gets hot outside this works very well and **Fastly.Cool** Also works good when the upstairs gets too hot in the Winter from the heater.*
I did HVAC for 30+ years you are a good mechanic... excellent job...
Great job. Clean and professional. The only thing I would have done differently is installed the condenser 12" to 18" away from the house to make it easier to work on and have better air flow available to condenser coil.
Exactly ! However he did a good job on installation.
I love how neat and complete you work.
Absolute masterclass work and ethic man! Very inspiring. The only thing I’m disappointed in is my self for not finding your channel sooner! Keep the videos coming.
I like that return box idea a lot. Great, clean work man
You always impress me with your training videos.
Black & Decker has done a good job on cooling a small area with this handy unit...I use this in a loft area all summer for good cool without the inconvenience of installing and blocking a window. Love it!
Super dope man! You did an outstanding job all by yourself. You make it look so easy. I remember when I first started I was with a group of 3 and boy did we struggle.
I admire how clean/neat you are with your work. I think that looks are very important, considering a customer spends thousands of dollars, and they don't know HVAC & all they do is see a system, neatness is what they are gonna see first.
Well said. In my mind, a neat job means attention to detail, which means equipment longevity.
In Florida, minimum of 12 inches from wall. They do sell smaller valve core tools to remove stems. I always install service panel away from wall for easier access. Great job either way.
Thanks for your video. Good insight to the new line of equipment.
Seriously .... Excelent Channel, your strong for the work is very inspirational, i'm an One Man Company too, i'm a IT contractor, and i´m a network installer. Your channel helps me. You teachme a lot with your dedication and entusiasm. Sorry for my awful english
Yes sir, trane is in Georgia, few minutes away from metter ga,
Great job, perfect and very clean work,
Great job man! Great Installation! Got to take pride in your work!
Besides Class 2 cable in same conduit as high voltage, clearance of condenser, and crimping suction line inlet so you can use existing 3/4" versus running new 7/8... It was clean and thanks for posting. I appreciate it ! Thanks.
Hahah botch job...oh you forgot the lack of a vent tee after the trap on an air handler that draws air through the coil
@@Clamjammer why would you put a vent tee after the p trap the p trap makes it so you dont need one
Thought I was the only person that caught the crimp
3:31 The fart was epic!
🤣🤣🤣
I wondered if I just imagined I heard that or it actually happened? 🤣🤣🤣
@@FletcherRSmith I thought the same thing, but the replay confirmed it! hahahaha!~
Even his farts are EPA APPROVED 👍
@@Chele156 , Your comment was hilarious 🤣.
Hey Zac, great video and great information. Thanks for answering the phone too.
Great video! Good job solo! Sometimes I wish I could be lol. We just installed our first RunTru beginning of last week. I liked AmeriStar but had a lot of problems out of defrost board. On the liquid line shrader valve, I didnt have any problem removing the valve before I soldered, which helps to check and tighten it when you put it back in. But if you can't, try bending the brass fitting or take the screws out holding it to the frame and pull it out for more room.
Awesome install my man! Great job and attention to detail clean work! 💯
You guys in the midwest and east coast have it easy on replacements. Here in California most furnaces are in 20-24" closets. Good work on video
Great video - really thorough and to the point!
We actually going to start installing those over here in Texas. Thanks for the video.
Right on! Let me know how it goes.
Great video! A true professional!
Great install man looked beautiful. Really digging the channel keep it coming brother.
Like your clean installs, make it easier for future servicing work. Would recommend when fitting the condensate pipe into pump body to cut a 45 degree angle at the end to reduce possibility of blockage by sludge accumulation.
Half way through video while writing this...I usually do brazing first and leave vacuum running while I wire, connect, level and seal everything. Personal preference. Great stuff though, Nothing like a 1-person change out 😎!
man that was a very nice install awesome quality job about the core I was in the same position few months ago that make so mad but you learn from that
Great quality. Loved the epic rock in the beginning man. I’ve been seriously considering the electrical trade for some time. Might’ve just found a good group of HVACrs to sign up with and finally get out of my transitional job. Wish me luck!
You make great videos! You are a true tradesman and take great pride in your work, I can tell. Great job and keep up the great work! I would want to work with you on any job you take the time to do it right!
That’s very kind of you to say! I really appreciate that.
Holy Smokes fantastic workmanship
Thx! 🤓 I really appreciate that!!
Im heading into 2nd year in hvac Im in Canada. I have been on construction building vrf systems but haven't done much service so watching vids help. If there is a chance to explain stuff like tips and what to watch out for that would be rad. Thanks again for the Vids
First time viewer just wanted to say nice clean work and you now have a new subscriber
Hey brotha , I'm going to start calling u Mr. Clean😁. Work looks great. May God bless your business. 💪
Haha! 🤣 Thx I really appreciate it!
Very clean and professional work. Good job sir! Forgot to spray the basement with some scented air sanitizer.
Great attention to detail.
Beautiful work brother!!
I just bought (May 2021) a Trane Heat Pump Electric and can't believe how loud mine is, I had 2 Tranes before which were great. I like the flat piece you put under the outside unit. Mine was installed with 4 cheap cup looking deals at each corner. I was not impressed and have been treated fine, but they cannot get rid of the loudness except an idea of covering the suspected reason, I believe he said the compressor It was the part beneath the fan motor. I don't want a cover up, I want a fix.
Thanks for making this video . It was interesting to watch .
Awesome!
Great job my man. I'm also a one man show for 31 years now in business for myself. Started in HVAC at age 18 and now almost 57 now. Starting to burn out and body breaking down lol. I may start to sub out all my HVAC installs and just concentrate on sales and service. Take some advice if you have some tough jobs that are a two man job find a helper for the day. I installed so many HVAC systems by myself that I should have hired a helper at least for a day or two. Also look into buying or leasing a walking electric hand truck for jobs with lots of steps. Keep up the great work man. Peace \m/\m/...
coolmandude1000 I want to get into HVAC do you recommend honestly?
@@chrisv5386 I do! Long hours but very rewarding. Every day is different
Depends on the company
Thanks a lot. Just had a 2.5 ton unit (RunTru) installed. Seems to be pretty nice so far. SOOO much quieter than my old 2004 unit was. I'm hoping to see some savings on the electric bill, too, as the old unit hasn't functioned well for years! Air inside is a LOT colder coming out of the vents. They paired it with a RunTru airhandler/heater.
So you still like it , how do it hold up in winter
@@DR-um2bv Great so far.
That run thru air handler looks IDENTICAL to a Trane TEM4 unit I just installed, Inside and out. Minus some extra controls and fan motor.
Great Video, Sweet Install.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Good job, on the install great video. Thanks.
@qualityHVACR just installed my first one the other day and noticed that it was one of the most quiet units also! Good install and that liquid line a schrader sucks
Nice video, thanks for sharing! Only thing I do differently is braze the equipment up first before electrical and ductwork. That way I can get a vacuum going and do the rest while the vacuum pump is running. I think the RunTru equipment looks good but you're right the service port on the liquid line is in a horrible spot. They need to fix that. Nice clean install bro
Yea that’s a good idea. Luckily with my evacuation set up, it doesn’t take very long. Thx for the feedback!
Those old pancake outdoor units were built very well. I still see them operating after 25 + years.
Good stuff man😎🤙 you’re quite neat! Good videos I learn from small details like such to be a better service tech myself
And I love your tool choices.
I would suggest picking up the Pipe Wiper system for cleaning linesets.
You could possibly put a T fitting on the LL service valve before opening up the system for access to the schrader core as well. I’m not a huge fan of adding extra fittings but it’s a better option than recovering the charge on a Saturday night lol. Good video, thanks
Looks almost identical to the tem6 air handler just re badged nice job 👍
Our company is a Trane dealership, been using Ameristar haven’t seen the new brand yet. Looks like a decent unit. Great video. 👍
Thx William! I feel like at its price point, it’s a great entry level machine.
Lennox did the same thing with their liquid line valves. It sucks but nothing a 90* low loss fitting can't help. But it sucks if the cores leak. Love the videos
Great installation, Great music 🤘
Thx! 🙏🏽
I like how you are a solo guy doing the job. Thats how i work my self. Post how good you like that brand because its been offered to me but not sure yet
That's a very nice clean job! Still someone someday will open that up and shoulda done this or that this way etc.
Nice work brotha!! She looks pretty. Good to see techs taking pride in their work. New sub 🤘🇺🇸 keep em rockin
Thx Jimmy! I really appreciate your support.
Nice and great work.
top video congratulations to the air conditioning area of your country and very different from mine where here and more splits
Great.clean install..
Seriously some great footage.!
Zach
.appreciate your time.and vdeo,.and brain fart when lifting that air handler..
Serious note.though....badass to this hvac industry---

Thx man! I really appreciate that! 🤓
If only i could have an easy, spacious garage for all my upflow installs.and damn that condenser is close to that wall.
How come its soo much harder doing the work myself, vs. Watching him do it😂, seriously hes an artist
You're living the dream 🙌
Put one of these in over the summer, they were quiet, cheap price, and overall a great budget a/c
I like the quality of your work great install, the only thing I noticed is the condenser unit is close to the wall. The 2nd think is you could start with brazing then your duct to save your self time. But man great job keep it up .
Very nice work! But I always get my lines brazed up first then while pressure testing and pulling a vacuum I would be doing my electrical, just more efficient to me🤙🏽
you can take the screw off thats holding the liquid service valve in place underneath the valve. That would give you some extra wiggle space to get your shredder tool in there, then replace it when its done. Also way to close to the wall there for future servicing. other then that super clean work good job !
I carry two Schrader tools, a typical shirt-pocket screwdriver style and a short stubby one from a bike schrader set from Wal-Mart that cost like $2.99, works great. It's about 3/4" of an inch long. Had prongs that came out of it but I whacked them off with my lineman's-- I'd recommend everyone carry a short schrader tool for that exact situation.
I watch u installed one complete central all by yourself very 👍🏿 good
Great job and video. Unit to close to wall
Another nice installation.... can you show more of the wiring line voltage/ low voltage up close would be very informative . 👍
A few common mistakes but I love the work you done.
Thank you for the most unexpected laugh of 2020 with the fart😂😂
😁
I sale American standard and Ameri Star. For several years now. I was a Ruud dealer before that. Really like the stars. They've been pretty much trouble free. Have installed gas packs, heat pump packs, split systems. Not sure what's going to happen in the near future for me. I installed two luxair ( Lennox) split HP just to see how I liked them. They seem fine and work well , but the condensers are Huge .
I’ve installed several brands over the years. Each brand doesn’t really show their faults until about a year or so later. We shall see what the future holds for RunTru.
Clean work bro
Good work man. Like your vids
Give us an update in the spring time as to how the unit is running!
Nice work!
Nice looking install. A+++
thanks for sharing with us brother 👍🏾
Thx for watching! 🙏🏽
Ive had this set about one year. Replaced Carrier unit that was 14 years old. Sized the same.
My only complaints are the heat pump is noisy. The fan is loud and there is a very distinct "compressor type sound" on a resonant frequency (for lack of a better explanation) that can be heard from inside the house, but not so much outside.
The other is when temps get very cold outside it can't even keep up with 70°
12° outside. Currently 65°.
I dont remember this happening with the old unit.
But I cant swear it that it didn't.
Some areas of the fins never seem to defrost.
We bought it because it was the cheapest. Ive spent more time 2nd guessing the decision than I would like.
Overall great work
Amigo another great job with the exception of the condenser unit being so close to the wall. Here in Wisconsin we do 12 inches minimum away from the wall. But ill give you the benefit of doubt.
Hi I from Brazil thax a lot .awesome video.
Clean inside unit. I wish where I am I had all that room inside for a change out.
Very nice Job!!
Why not move the condenser away from the wall more for clearance? You do an amazing job. I really appreciate your love for the Hvac field.
beat me to it. Instructions say the clearances needed.
Definitely should be atleast a foot off house fir proper usage
I was thinking the same thing . Too close to the wall
It supposed to be at least 3 ft away from the wall. Isn't it ?
Agreed! At least 10-12” away from wall but other then that your jobs always look great and professional!
Damn you put the outdoor unit close to the wall. Great video
Good shit bro i will be starting HVAC class soon
Cleanest installs
Next time at the supplyer I will check this unit.
Clean install. Around my place I don't think you can run the high voltage and low voltage in the same conduit.
Great workmanship!!! Honestly... Trane's builder grade stuff doesnt look that great to me. But your installs are always quality. Good job bro.
Tidy work great vids 👍
Bro I think I heard someone else tooted/farted at time stamp 3:33 😂🤣 I thought I bring it up for laughs. Nevertheless you are inspiring as a technician. You are very detailed oriented and full of new ideas. Keep up the GREAT work my brother.
All you SUPER KEYBOARD GANGSTER TECHNICIANS out there need to calm down... the man did a good job and is a good learning video for apprentices.... let’s see you guys take time to video your installs and see your work. This is the real world and not everything is ran 100% by the book. All of you techs already know this u just wanna sound smart
Agreed Jimmy P. I have been reading the comments from all of the "Freon Leon" magnetic sign guys that think they know everything. These are the same guys that undersell good companies by thousands of dollars and ruin HVAC pricing. Good video though.
Cool video. Ive put in a few and they seem ok but only time will tell. I hated the Ameristar units soooo much.
Quality, Quality, Quality.... job #1
Yeah, definitely a entry level system for sure!
A less complex and more affordable system doesn't mean "entry level", usually experienced and smart tech. choose system like that.
