Good job. I do the installation a little bit different but you did a great job keep going and god bless you.

I always learn something new from your videos. In this case about the concrete coring tool and rental from Home Depot. Also about the caulking gun. I share these with my brother too. Keep them coming, I watch with anticipation.

You’re the first person I see using the flare seals. Nice work and cheap insurance vs having a leakage.

Not quite sure why u cut off the factory flare fittings for the shark bite style fittings. I only use the shark bite fittings if I'm in a pinch. The factory fittings will give u a superior connection.

Service tech here, that head is way too tight in the corner, this will be an issue if any components on the head unit ever need to be replaced. In the future I would try to leave a bit of clearance on the right side where power comes in so you can access and remove the boards if necessary

@jamram9924 29 днів тому

Mitsubishi and Daikan are Japanese designed zoned HVAC systems. However, Daiken is assembled in Texas and was having serious quality issues when they moved their plant from Taiwan to the US. I chose to install a Mitsubishi system due to this issue of quality control. Mitsubishi has teamed up with Trane/American Standard in the US.

Thanks a lot for honest videos! A bit off this video, but thinking to move from central split ducted to package unit. I read on pros and cons but there is nothing on changing from one to another. As benefits I see 1. More reliable 2. Free space in basement 3. Does not required any training to install. So, would be great yo get your point

@diyhvacguy 6 місяців тому

I love package units. I’m not sure that they are more reliable per say, but I love that it’s all contained to one space. Which means more space inside. And yes not having to have refrigeration and brazing skills is definitely a plus. If I had to choose between a split system and a package unit, I’d 100% pick a package unit 👍🏼

@nwsvndr 4 місяці тому

Are you referring to switching from a ducted mini-split to mini-split heads in each room? Or are you talking about moving from conventional ducted AC/gas heating to a mini-split (unducted) system? Is the free space coming from removing the ducts? Thanks!

@hunterhall3811 4 місяці тому

Do you know why they don’t just keep the B terminal the same size fittings as terminal A for the flared fittings? I’m not sure why they’d need to add all the extra fittings and such if Terminal A for the lines already fit right up. Also, where did you get your flexible drain hose and line hide?

@diyhvacguy 6 місяців тому

Make sure your communication wires are going to the correct head. I had it once where they were swapped and one head only worked. So that could very well be your problem. So swap the wires out at the condenser and see if both heads work. Worth a try

If i have a multi zone unit, can i add another air handler to the other line set ports in the future? What is the process of adding another line set and air handler?

Yes you can get a 4 head and install 3 heads until you are ready to add the last one

@davetuscani 5 місяців тому

Can solder be used to add to join more copper length to a mini split system?

@Oksobasically2 4 місяці тому

Yes. Make sure the female and male ends fit pretty snug with little to no gap. Make sure the solder used is meant for ac applications. Purge the system with nitrogen after the pressure test. Internal cleanliness of the lines is vital. Not even air can be in the lines when its time to start the unit up.

So when you pull a vacuum, does it pull on both heads at the same time? Thanks!

@Funkybulb 7 місяців тому

One thing i want point out. The unit is too close to service panel As it need 3 feet away from service panel. Look up NEC 110.26 it need to be 30 inches away minium from that service panel. It the first thing electrician learns in begining of National Electric code. If u ever have a meter disconnection and when u try to get your electric turn back on. They prolly will force owner to relocate the HVAC equipment. Reason for this. U domt want create a ground path while electricians or utilty company working on the panel.

@dporrasxtremeLS3 7 місяців тому

Thank you for this point... For future refernece.

@Watchyn_Yarwood 7 місяців тому

You are incorrect as per an electrical inspector I consulted. I suggest you re-read 110.26. Three dimensions are to be considered. Width, Depth and Height of the "working space". The width. NEC 110.26(A)(2) states that “the width of the working space in front of the electrical equipment shall be the width of the equipment or 762 mm (30 in.), whichever is greater.” In addition, this work space shall permit at least a 90-degree opening of the panelboard door. The depth, that is the space directly in front of the electrical equipment shall be 900mm or 3 feet. The height, as per 110.26(A)(3) is “to remain clear and extend from the grade, floor, or platform to a height of 2.0 m (6 ½ ft) or the height of the equipment, whichever is greater.”

Why you always put the connections or flares to the wall? In case of leak you cant see the leak, cant pull the unit unless you uninstall 3/4 of the installation. Theese indoor units are super Easy to disassemble so you have Easy work space inside of the indoor unit and there is plenty of space for connections. In case of leak you just open the unit and check if the leak is there in 5mins.
