could you replace an air conditioner?

could you replace an air conditioner? I DON'T DO MUCH PLUMBING OR ELECTRICAL, SO I HIRED SOMEONE TO REPLACE MY BUSTED AIR CONDITIONER. HEY, HOW YOU DOING? HERE'S THE WHOLE PROCESS FROM START AND AT THE END, I'LL TELL GUYS. AT FIVE STAR, THEY'RE GONNA REPLACE THIS THERMOSTAT. THEN DOWN IN THE BASEMENT WE'VE GOT THE EVAPORATOR. IT SITS ON TOP OF A SO WE'RE NOT GONNA REPLACE THAT. FACT. ONE OF THE REASONS I IS CAUSE THEY DIDN'T USE THE CARBON MONOXIDE SCARE TACTIC TO GET ME TO REPLACE MY SO OUTSIDE WE HAVE THE CONDENSER. THIS IS THE MAIN THING THAT WENT BAD. IT'S 25 YEARS OLD, SO WE'RE IT'S IMMEDIATELY APPARENT THAT THIS IS A HIGHLY TECHNICAL JOB. YOU MIGHT HURT YOURSELF OR OTHERS. AND YOU WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY WASTE MONEY FIXING YOUR MISTAKES. THE NEW UNIT WILL BE ON THE GROUND, SO THEY CUT OFF THESE PIPES. ALRIGHT, I'M GONNA HANG ON TO IF YOU DON'T, I MIGHT TRY MAYBE THEY THREW SOME ROCKS DOWN TO LEVEL A SPACE FOR THE PAD. VAN TO WHEEL OUT THE NEW UNIT. THIS ISN'T A NORMAL 110, SO IF YOU'RE INSTALLING THIS SWITCH AND DO SOMETHING WRONG, YOU COULD PROBABLY HURT YOURSELF. I WAS IMPRESSED TO SEE A LEVEL ON TOP OF THIS THING. I LOVE A GOOD LEVEL BOX. AFTER THIS THING IS WIRED UP, THEY'LL BRING OUT THE NEW UNIT. NOW, THIS IS QUITE A BIT OF A PROCESS TO HOOK IT I'VE NEVER WELDED COPPER BEFORE, SO AGAIN, YOU REALLY NEED PROFESSIONALS HERE. THE INDOOR PROCESS SEEMED A LITTLE BUT STILL HAD A LOT OF ARTISTRY INVOLVED. WHAT'S TRICKY ABOUT THIS IS TAKING OFF THE OLD UNIT AND DOING SOME METAL WORK TO MAKE IT ALL FIT TOGETHER IN A REALLY CLEAN WAY. THIS IS ALL CUSTOM WORK WITH ANGLES AND EVERYTHING, WITH A LOT OF MEASURING, CUTTING, BENDING, SCREWING. YOU'LL SEE WHAT I MEAN. OKAY, SO ONCE HE SLIDES ON THIS NEW UNIT, THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME PLUMBING WORK TO DO HERE AS WELL. IN HERE, HE USED THESE PRESSURE FITTINGS WITH THIS REALLY COOL CRIMPING TOOL AGAIN, ALL HIGHLY SPECIALISED. THIS IS ALL LIKE, WHAT IS ALL THIS MESS? SO RIGHT NOW YOU'RE JUST TESTING IT WITH NITROGEN? YEP. THERE'S JUST NITROGEN FILLING THOSE LINES TO MAKE SURE THERE'S NO LEAKS. OH, COOL. A GREAT DEAL, BUT THEY'RE NOT pAYING ME. AND I CAN TELL YOU WITHOUT CONFLICT THAT THEY KNOW THEIR SHIT. THIS GUY ALEX WAS A WIZARD WITH SHEET METAL. HE MAKES PERFECTLY STRAIGHT CRIMS TO AND THEN FITS IT ALL TOGETHER IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT LOOKS MANUFACTURED. ANYONE CAN INSTALL A THERMOSTAT IF THEY'RE CAREFUL, BUT IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT AND IN ABOUT A THIRD OF THE TIME IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN LOOK AT THIS. FREAKING LOVE IT. SO, YEAH, FIVE STAR HOME SERVICES. GIVE THESE GUYS A CALL. THANKS FOR WATCHING.
