What REALLY goes into installing a high-efficiency ACiQ Extreme+ Inverter Heat Pump system?
In this full-length, raw, unfiltered install video, Mikey Pipes and the Pipe Doctor crew rip out TWO old Rheem air handlers and install dual 3-ton ACiQ inverter heat pump systems — complete with hydronic coil integration for a dual-fuel setup.
? But what happens when Mikey forgets to PRESS a ZoomLock fitting?!
Welcome to the reality of HVAC installs — the good, the bad, and the absurd (yes, there’s a sump pump in the return plenum...WTF?!).
If you're a homeowner looking to upgrade or an HVAC pro wondering if ACiQ is worth it — this video is for YOU.
? Want a quieter, smarter, more efficient HVAC system that won’t break the bank?
