You might know this, but she get a lot of help along the way like a guided tour. But good for her.

Thanks! And thanks for watching.

Thanks! Yes, although nervous it's best to jump on it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks! I definitely do my research before tackling a project. Thanks for watching.

Totally agree with the mastic suggestion. You might even want to add a strip of foil faced insulation to add a little more R-value and to lessen the chance of sweating during summer heat. You did a very good job overall

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, stay tuned.

Thank you! You too!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Wouldn't a thicker filter create more resistance, to air movement, thus "increase" static pressure?

@@ron827 its actually the opposite because thicker filters have more surface area, static pressure is is a function of filter surface area and flow. At a given flow rate, a filter with more surface area will have less restriction and therefore decrease the static pressure.

Yes, I'm glad I went with this new system. Thanks for Sharing and for watching.

Aw thanks! And thanks for watching.

Glad it was helpful!

This is very interesting. Would love to hear more detail.

@@grasshopperlawnmaintenance8738Well the basics is HomeKit with an 4K Apple TV. I already had a security system with an Aqara HUB on HomeKit/matter so I tied in a temp/humid sensor that is installed under my porch roof. With the gas fireplace and ceiling fan I use Meross HomeKit switches. I took one apart for the fireplace Meross smart switch and soldered a USB A cable to the voltage regulator on the board and installed to control the gas fireplace switch and installed it behind the gas fireplace switch. It’s powered with a small 5V DC USB apple charger. The other Meross switch is for the ceiling fan was installed normal on 120VAC like a normal switch replacing the dumb switch. My thermostat is the Honeywell Lyric T6 Pro WiFi also HomeKit enabled. Ok, so now we have fireplace control, ceiling fan control, outdoor temperature, and thermostat control and status. The rest of it is automation in HomeKit for when its colder then 40F outside and the heat comes one then turn on the fireplace (set at medium) and ceiling fan (set in reverse). Once the heat goes off turn off fireplace, and delay the turning the fan off for 60 seconds. Not sure yet if the const of gas for the fireplace offsets the cost of electric, but I do know the warmth of propane is a lot nicer, humidity stays at about 40% so no need for a humidifier or static shock in the air. The heater only runs half the usual run time when on, and stays off twice as long so less wear and tease on the system. You could put a timer on the fireplace switch running so it only runs for 3 or 5 minutes to give the system heat and thaw the pump. But I fond the humidity stayed better running it the whole time and shorter run time on the heat pump.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!

If 8 hours of research was enough to “learn the book yourself,” there would be a lot more HVAC techs in the world.

Is that 5k in savings including the cost of your labor. 11hrs of work on this project would be a high labor cost so saving 5k is truly impressive

@@mattsnyder4754 I'm the kind of guy who'll try anything if I have the instructions and the right tools or can afford them, I replaced or timing chain and timing chain balancer in our car before we had to take a whole section of the motor apart and torque 30 bolts approximately I ran into a spot were I needed a special tensioning wrench and welded one from stuff I had, the job was successful. But I agree not just anyone off the street can do an install because there's way too much half baked into available, but I've seen local pro's look like they learnt how to install from UKposts using patio blocks on grass as a base is not acceptable here and there do it and within a few years the outdoor unit looks like the leaning tower of Pisa, the guy across the street from me had a HVAC company install his and that had to service it 8 times it still sounds like a jet plane you can hear it way down the street. I seen a really good This Old House episode where they skipped the manual J and used rule of thumb and put in the wrong size and the guys utility bill was way higher than all the neighbors who switched, 3/4 of the companies here rely on rule of thumb. Anyways everything I mentioned is where I am it may be better where you are, when you can't trust people you learn to be a good researcher.

@@mattsnyder4754 It's only a 1 year course here.

As far as my words of choice, I try to use words that someone who's not familiar with the type of project, would instantly recognize and remember. Definitely "Disconnect Box" would stick in their memory whereas Isolator may not. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. Just to clarify, my comment really was not intended as a criticism of you, more of an observation. Your countryman Adam Booth from the Abom79 channel uses the same term "disconnect box", so it makes sense that this phrase would be easier for viewers to understand. Here in the UK however, the word "isolator" is quite commonly used - for example if a bathroom is fitted with an extractor fan, there will usually be a labelled switch, which can be used to disconnect that device from the electrical system, just outside the bathroom (our 240v power and regulations do not allow switches other than pull-cords or sockets to be installed in bathrooms). Those are labelled with the words "Fan isolator", or sometimes simply "Isolator", so the word is in common usage over here. Similarly, I have noticed other UKpostsrs describe an electrical outlet as a "receptacle" whereas that word is not in common usage here. We would call it an outlet, or most often a socket. As for "wire nuts", I have seen your fellow countryman, Adam Savage (both examples I chose were called Adam!) use those for various projects, but i have to say that they look risky to me. I for one think a screw terminal strip is safer and easier to service. Anyway, fascinating video. Thanks for making it!

Thank you!!

Thanks for always watching. I appreciate the support.

@@AprilWilkerson Your very welcome April! Have a wonderful week ahead 😎JP

Thanks, you too! Glad you found it useful.

I know......but a MrCool system is about 1/3 the price of a professionally installed system from Lennox, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu etc. The HVAC industry has priced itself out of many jobs.

These are 10 years systems if you get more than that its a bonus. When saying these most all mini split systems. Biggest problem is parts aren't accessible in our "normal" supply chain. Extra effort extra time and when you finally get the part its for a customer that wants Diy pricing so most of us just pass. I say good for ya'll doing your own stuff

@@jonsaircond8520 Who is "us" in this situation?

@@binglebongle8601 Guess any in the business that I know of would be "us" And based off the number of calls a year I get requesting me to help a internet bought unit. After I decline you get the frustrated well who does..... um I'm not sure. I live in one of the most competitive markets in the country so shouldn't be hard at all. I install a average of 70 mini split systems per year I'm not interested in doing any I don't control what was purchased or where I can get warranty parts at. Such as had a part I needed and since it was a unit I install basically every week I just got it off a new one I keep in stock in my shop.

I had a couple problems with a mini split: one was the noise that the indoor unit makes in every room. The other was the condensate lines needed monthly maintenance and eventually got moldy. The entire system was horrible to clean out. The mold got everywhere including the interior fan blades.

Thanks! I think so too!

That is not my husband and friends, they are my Employees. I do as much as I can by myself but physically at times I need others. Thanks for watching.

Yep! I'm excited about it for my house. Thanks for watching.

Ha! Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

Up the Fridgys 💪💪💪

Your business is safe. My big takeaway from this great video is: There's no way in (you know where) that I'm ever doing this as a DIY project!

😢😢 I’m too old to do my own work had to pay for professional. Boy is there crazy prices 7,500 to over 14,000 bucks for the same thing. 😊😮😢 did I mention it was a one day job. No duct work. 😅😊

@@fyrwerx4485 👍🏻😊

There’s generally auxiliary heat for when it’s too cold (usually resistive coils). But the heat pump will still be able to provide the majority of your heat throughout the year.

Glad you enjoyed it! And thanks for sharing and for watching.
