good job bro that was clean
Give this dude a raise. Guys like that don’t just walk in off the street everyday.
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.
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.
I thought the same thing!
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.
That right my friend!
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.
I don’t even understand how he gets such clean bends and cross breaks with a ladder.. this guy is incredible
30 gauge

I use 28 to make the bends easier
That’s just joist liner. 30 gauge, you can make cross brakes even faster by putting the sheet metal on carpet, using a straight edge and a flat blade.
That ladder trick was gold 💪🏼
Great work young man! You explained what you were doing very well. Thanks for your video!
Great video. Quality craftsmanship. Thankyou
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.
Amazing job Edward!!!!
Nice job.thanks for sharing👍👍👍
I love this guy! He's a machine!
beautiful work
Really good job. Keep going
You are awesome
Kick ass man. Respect.
Great job 👏
Dag gone! That's some pretty clever work!
Nice job!
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
Good job !
Using an aluminum ladder as a bending brake and having it look professional... how creative .
Wow! That was clever!)
Beautiful
Good clean
Wow those skillz 💯💥🔥🔥
Using that ladder for the bends was awesome.
Excellent
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.
Amazing!
Awesome 👍
amazing
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.
5 gallon bucket. Best tool bag in the universe, it is a chair, step ladder, tool bag, your can fill with water if you brake a pipe, it is a garbage bag... and finally it is affordable.
You win the internet for today! Very good point😅🤜🏻🤛🏽
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 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
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.
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.
Could you also use an expansion duct to connect the new furnace to the plenum box? Just asking. Excellent video though.
Hey quick question do you guys use P3 duct. Or phenol
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
Thank you for sharing. What gauge do you use for sheetmetal plenums?
26
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.
Guys a magician
Do you enjoy playing the drums?
Do coils not need insulation to prevent sweating?
In our area (NE Illinois) sweating of the coil box is not an issue.
No insulation??
I'm surprised he didn't address the rusty evap coil pan.
I saw that as well. Could of cleaned it out as much as possible and epoxy coat it.
@@wonderhomie2011 or used some pan kote. Ultimately though, if it were raining outside and you were low on time, you can only do what you can do in the allotted time with the given weather conditions.
Great duct work! Should a coil not be atleast 6 inches from heat exchanger?
dayum...he just made 3 sides outta 1 piece and made factory cross creases with a ladder. This dude is a baaaaaad maaaan
It's like watching somebody do origami with metal!
Wow
I wish I could use tin can to make my transitions. (Also the existing duct almost never lines up like that)
Yeah, when you can cross brake a piece of sheetmetal with the back of your fist over the edge of a ladder, you might be a shade light on the metal.
Must be using either 28 or 26 ga. metal to bend that easy.
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.
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”
Are these Kolos employees?...
No
That box will sweat with no insulation.
in 1993 My new house and all my subdivision had the same heating and ac co. all created the A coil box just like His. no condensation outside.the housing.
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!
