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.

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.

Yes sir, trane is in Georgia, few minutes away from metter ga, Great job, perfect and very 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

I just installed a run true for the first time 2 weeks ago and the unit did not come pre charged I just wanted to know if that happened to you. I had to charge all the refrigerant into it. Unit still work perfectly fine and there were no leaks but it just did it come charged which was weird.

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.

Is the outdoor AC unit to close to the house? Will it be better for the unit to be about 4 more inch away from the wall? So in the future when you have to work on the AC you will have more room to work? Also what is the standard width away for unit and home, if there is.

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.

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

Did you have to purge the old unit of refrigerant before you cut the high and low side pipes?

You should work on not using flex into the base can, layout the sheet metal so airflow is priority to keep your static pressures low.

Out of curiosity, where you live is there no minimum distance the condenser unit can be from the wall? For airflow and service clearance

I got runtru installed on Monday and the AC outside is leaking water throughout the day. I have read some articles where they say it happens when it’s really hot and humid but the past few days here in Toronto wasn’t horribly hot. Please help. I can even send photos.

Its not too close by manufacturer recommended clearances typically allowing 1 side to be 6" if the rest are 12". Personally, I think the more room the better if you don't have some other constraint you're dealing with, as I don't want to waste time messing around because things are so tight.

I would suggest picking up the Pipe Wiper system for cleaning linesets.

That's a very nice clean job! Still someone someday will open that up and shoulda done this or that this way etc.

Should've spun the condenser so service and ventilation would be better. Plus that flex supply main run IMO is ng. Did you level the pad before you tied the condenser in.?

Good job, on the install great video. Thanks.

Dumb question may been asked. But do you put a separate disconnect box for the air handler itself?

Does the unit have a micro channel coil, they are leakers?

Did you really crimp the suction line ?!
