My goodness this unit took forever to get .. But after over a year of waiting we finally got a new unit.

Love new units installs ❤
No seismic clips? Also should be wearing high vis in low light conditions
It’s hard to understand the scale of these units when you’re working up close with them, so I found the video while you were lifting the old unit off the building pretty fascinating. Service area Orleans??
I’m still saying to the end of the videos since you explained it on your live channel, hope it helps the channel more because I do truly enjoy your content and I learn a lot here
Wow that Lennox looks very tech friendly, especially that prodigy board. Looks like a (relatively speaking anyways) quality product. I worked on a couple of similarly sized 460v new-ish Yorks recently, which are absolute crap in comparison and somewhat of a pain to work on. Only unit I’ve worked on worse than those was a 20 ton Daikin package unit. Are you in Barrhaven ?
Hopefully, someday we all get to see a sunrise mass swap out or new install with a helicopter or two from your channel 😉
I haven't seen a hewie used in quite a few years now but damn, it's efficient!
On the note of safety, something I always watch for and saw your team handle properly: Never EVER stand under a suspended load, or put anything under a suspended load. If one of those units were to fall while suspended at any point, a person underneath or sometimes even near it can make a very bad day much worse.
Harvesting parts… the PC way of saying "cannibalize" in the 20's?
Just breaking balls… great video as always.
Oops, did I say balls?
Thank god I don’t gotta her the infomercial at the beginning of the video 😂
Finally a whole new unit
hmm Nice music. I'm curious as to what the name of the music used during the crane footage is. Service area Ottawa??
Can you plz explain the condenser pressure drops? Im clarification u mean the difference between discharge and condenser pressures. What would that be in saturation diff?
I love lennox units. Best quality built today just like they always been, they really need to catch up with orders cus we have units we’ve been waiting for a whole year in NY. I just put in this identical unit last week that was ordered over 2 years ago just it was a 30 ton so slightly taller but same guy
Is there anything that seals the unit to the roof other than gravity? Like do you apply putty or sealant of some sort?
Maan, I know its a commercial AC but still it's sad to see LG compressors in it. What a joke.
When you replace an old unit that has a nearly-new compressor as a result of an emergency repair, what do you do with the nearly new compressor? reuse it? scrap it? sell it on ebay?
Its sad how much you have to double check new units now. We had that identical brand and size unit we just installed a month ago. Customer had been waiting over a year for unit. Fired the unit up and it ran for a bit and shut off. Long story short after much head scratching we found they had hooked up the equalizer lines on the txv backwards and hooked up the sensing bulbs backwards so two stages were linked and pumping the refrigerant from one to the other. So much for quality control at the factory and test running them before they send them out the door. Oh and the lp conversion kits were missing so they also had no heat for a month till we got that straight.
The new unit is a turd?
another package unit change out vid, always my favorite! Interesting to see the startup process.
Polishing a turd? But isn't it brand new. Or just a brand new turd? Are you in Nepean ?
This video is really unique.
1. I remember the footage of the first video with the awesome Epidemic Sounds music
2. Night time footage
3. New unit installation at Dawn
4. Parking lot footage. (I am wondering why more HVAC units was on that trailer)
5. LG compressor (Instead of Emerson)
6. Chris forgetting to put plugs of compressors
7. Freaking VFD running at 62.99hz when the system frequency is 59.99hz 🙂
Well, I guess it is finally over for that old Lennox unit
Finally, some closure on that particular unit!
I'm impressed with how messy these devices are, cables run everywhere, PCB exposed, no markings on components, contactors with exposed metal live parts. It's crazy and it makes a lot more work for you.
I work in building automation in Poland and every roof top / air handling unit have separate cabinet for electronics usually dust and air tight (IP56 +), cables are in PVC perforated cable ducts (plastic wont cut insulation on sharp edges). Every component that might have live potencial have bould in covers that there is very small chance for finger to touch. And documentation, there is usually PDF wich schematics available from manufacturer and every element in cabinet is clearly labeled.
Don't get me wrong, You have exelent troubleshooting skills and a lot of times You make it easier for the next person to work on the unit. Its just much less safe compared to units in EU.
Nice paint job on a new machine
Blower running the wrong way iat 20mins
Is the indoor blower running the right way!!!
Liked the video 👌
So when you do have a crane lift is there someone from the crane company that helps with rigging or is that on you and your guys
"it's polishing a tur…" *is a brand new unit.
Sweet, man.
Hey great video. What type of compressors ?
This is very cool! In previous videos the lift part of your equipment is left out for time saving i'm sure, but if you get to do this again, can you maybe take some distance footage play it at the end? Maybe a 2X speed clip? Purely for fun. Love the videos and thanks for sharing!
Still my favourite equipment brand by far. We work on tons of these. Well designed and easy to service especially with door hinges and door handles Are you in Kanata ?
LG compressor owesome 👍🏻
The boards didn't look all that complex. As long as the ROM/EEPROM isn't blown, should be fixable? Sure, likely cost more than a new one (and I suspect not in some cases), but if you can't get new ones…
Most common failure is buffer chips, followed by regulators, followed by electrolytic caps. I worked a job where they simply replaced all the caps FIRST, THEN started testing for failures. About 80% of the time, it worked after replacing the caps. Most of the people working there had zero electronics knowledge, they just trained them to replace caps, diodes and bridge rectifiers.

HOW DID YOU SEAL the crawl space duct tie-ins ? Service area Barrhaven??
987 thumbs up
Aircraft term when you take good parts from one plane to another. Cannibalize or cann for short.
That is not the correct way to check for a grounded compressor, you should have checked directly from the compressor terminals
finally got that unit, one of our local HVAC companies has a flatbed crane truck it brings in the new unit and takes away the old here in southern Arizona
I appreciate the use of headlamps. Are you in Orleans ?
Been following this one, glad to see the conclusion! Well done!
does lennox still using copeland in these new unit? im curious.
Awesome video Chris!! Service area Kanata??
Chris, I really appreciate your channel. I'm a retired NucE and EE and for practically my whole career I had an HVAC/R company as a second enterprise. I haven't worked in about 15 years so I really enjoy seeing what is the current state-of-the-art in both hardware and service techniques. Thanks again, John
👍
Another great installation & startup!
Did you also harvest the 2 compressors you put in in May? Or did they get scrapped with the rest of the unit?
Came here for a new AC install and 80s porn music. This video delivered. Liked and subscribed. Thanks bud.
