They Installed 4 Mismatched HVAC Systems… You Can’t Make This Up

They Installed 4 Mismatched HVAC Systems… You Can’t Make This Up

It’s Friday. Love me Fridays.In this uncut Mikey Pipes Uncensored video, I’m starting the day at Pipe Doctor Home Services on Long Island, NY, shipping out some Mikey Pipes goodies, talking about the nonprofit, and breaking down a real-world HVAC situation that every service technician and homeowner should hear.We’re talking about mismatched HVAC systems, leaking R-410A equipment, customer pricing questions, dual-fuel heat pump setups, hydronic heating, and why cutting corners just to hit a cheaper number is never the right answer.The big takeaway? A proper HVAC installation matters. Matched indoor and outdoor equipment matters. Surge protection matters. And if you’re installing inverter equipment, the MP-SPD-01 surge protection device is only $175 shipped.Protect your inverter system before a power surge turns into a very expensive lesson.🔥 Buy variants of the MP-SPD-01 here:mikeypipes.com/shopInterested in becoming an ACiQ dealer?Sign up here:aciq.com/mikeypipesFor HVAC, plumbing, heating, cooling, boiler, water heater, tankless, and heat pump service on Long Island, NY:Pipe Doctor Home ServicesWoodmere, NY516-348-6300pipedoc.netServing Long Island, Nassau County, Queens, Western Suffolk, Woodmere, Five Towns, East Rockaway, Melville, Valley Stream, Hewlett, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Lynbrook, Rockville Centre, and surrounding areas.Support Mikey Pipes Philanthropy:Get your Mikey Pipes posters for $42.50 delivered.100% of proceeds go to charity.Payment options:Zelle: mike@mikeypipes.comPayPal: mike@mikeypipes.comVenmo: @PipeDoctorCashApp: $mikeypipesnyThank you to everyone who supports the channel, the nonprofit, the trades, and the mission to keep pushing quality work, real education, and honest HVAC content.Subscribe, comment, and share this video with another service technician who needs to hear this.#MikeyPipes #HVAC #LongIslandMusic from #InAudio: https://inaudio.org/Track Name *Fly AwayChapters00:00 Friday Morning With Mikey Pipes00:34 Kevin From Brooklyn Gets A Special Poster01:22 Shipping Out Stickers, Magnets & Giveaways02:15 Love Me Fridays At Pipe Doctor03:10 Four Jobs Each & A Busy Long Island HVAC Day04:00 The 4-Ton Mikey Pipes Powered By ACiQ Install04:42 Mismatched HVAC Systems Everywhere06:05 Basement System Is Completely Flat07:15 Replace The Outdoor Unit Or The Whole System?08:35 Honest Advice To The Customer09:40 Why I Would Not Discount The Install10:55 Don’t Cut Corners To Hit A Number11:45 Dual Fuel Heat Pump With Hydronic Coil12:40 Heat Pump Vs Gas Boiler Efficiency On Long Island14:00 Why Moving Old Equipment Around Is Asking For Trouble15:00 Final Thoughts & Happy Friday

I'm Installing a “FREE” Mini Split Nobody Wanted… And It’s NOT an ACiQ

It’s Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, 5:55 in the morning in the great communist state of New York… and today, Mikey Pipes is installing a ductless mini split system that is NOT an ACiQ.That’s right. Somewhere deep inside the Mikey Pipes / Pipe Doctor warehouse — past the hydronic wall-hung training systems, past the ACiQ ductless mini split training center, past the rows of ACiQ inventory, and past the maintenance agreement warboard — sits an 18,000 BTU ductless mini split system that nobody wanted.This thing was sent to me for free by Tossot last year for a product review. The first one showed up mangled like it went through Siberia in the winter. They sent another one… and then it sat. And sat. And sat.I tried giving it away to employees.I tried giving it away to customers.Nobody wanted it.So today, this homeless mini split finally gets a home — inside a local synagogue here on Long Island, NY.But this video is not just about a mini split install.This one is for the service technicians, HVAC contractors, and keyboard code inspectors who think they know everything. We’re also talking about inverter-driven HVAC equipment, surge protection, disconnect boxes, protecting expensive heat pump systems, and why I build my own Mikey Pipes surge protection devices instead of selling you a $450 solution when I can offer something useful for much less.Only $175 shipped with a 6-foot whip.Only $185 shipped with a 10-foot whip.I build these because I like to tinker, I like to test, and I like protecting high-performance inverter equipment before a power issue turns into an expensive callback.And yes — I know the internet trolls are going to have something to say.Good.This is Mikey Pipes Uncensored: uncut, unedited, brutally honest HVAC talk from a real contractor running a real company on Long Island.For HVAC service, installation, repairs, mini splits, heat pumps, boilers, plumbing, and maintenance plans on Long Island:Pipe Doctor Home Services📞 516-348-6300🌐 pipedoc.netServing Nassau County, Queens, and Western Suffolk County, NY.👉 Want to become an ACiQ dealer or private label brand?Sign up here:https://aciq.com/mikeypipes✅ Limited Edition 2025 Mikey Pipes Poster AvailableOnly $42.50 deliveredIncludes 5 stickers, pen, card & magnet100% of proceeds goes to charityPayment options:PayPal: mike@mikeypipes.comZelle: mike@mikeypipes.comVenmo: @PipeDoctorCashApp: $mikeypipesnySupport the mission.

This $175 HVAC Device Could Save a $3,000 Inverter Board (Techs Need to See This)

One sealed box.One careless mistake.And one expensive lesson every HVAC contractor, apprentice, and service technician needs to hear.In this uncut and unedited episode of Mikey Pipes Uncensored, I explain why a former employee would be fired all over again after throwing away a critical HVAC component that cost hundreds of dollars to replace.We also take a deep dive into my latest HVAC protection project featuring the Mikey Pipes MP-SPD-01 Surge Protection & Power Monitoring Device and discuss why today's inverter-driven HVAC equipment needs more than just basic surge protection.Whether you install mini splits, heat pumps, central air conditioning systems, or commercial HVAC equipment, this is a conversation every technician and contractor should hear.Today's inverter systems contain expensive inverter boards, communication modules, ECM motors, variable-speed compressors, and sensitive electronics that can be destroyed by power surges, brownouts, voltage fluctuations, utility issues, and electrical abnormalities.If you're installing modern HVAC equipment without proper electrical protection, you're gambling with your customer's investment.In this video:✅ HVAC apprentice mistakes that cost real money✅ Why attention to detail matters in the trades✅ ACiQ ductless mini split training display upgrades✅ MP-SPD-01 Surge Protection Device overview✅ Power monitoring vs surge protection explained✅ Protecting inverter-driven HVAC systems✅ Why every HVAC contractor should rethink electrical protection✅ ACiQ dealer opportunity discussion✅ Behind-the-scenes HVAC shop talkIf you're an HVAC technician, installer, apprentice, contractor, or trade school student, this video is for you.📍 LONG ISLAND HVAC SERVICEPipe Doctor Home Services, Inc.📍 1010 Central AvenueWoodmere, NY 11598📞 516-348-6300🌐 https://www.pipedoc.netServing Nassau County, Suffolk County, Queens, Brooklyn, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten Island and surrounding areas.Residential & Commercial HVAC Service, Repair, Maintenance & Replacement.🔥 BECOME AN ACIQ DEALERInterested in becoming an ACiQ Dealer?No dealer fees.
