An awesome weekend project that will greatly improve your quality of life! Thanks to this Della mini-split my shop is now livable during the hottest part of the day here in Texas. In this video I go though how I got this ductless system installed.

I own a duplex and wanted mini-splits installed. I received an estimate from the local big box store for $27k. So I did like you bought everything I needed for both apartments and did it myself. Between the two systems there are two outdoor units and five indoor units. I installed it for about $7k including an electrician and HVAC guy to charge the system. Best money I've ever spent.

Dude I love how you put some of the pitfalls you had. Example: you mentioned new skills you’ve gained, new tools instead of hiring out, never complaining and looking at each issue as an opportunity. I feel the same way and hope that others see that every issue is an opportunity to learn something new.

As a retired HVAC/R mechanic (35+years), I think you did an outstanding job. Good eye on the cracked flare nut! 12,000 btu's may not be enough for the garage, especially if you have a high ceiling. However, that depends on YOUR comfort level! 👍👍

You want to seat the flare to the fitting and hold it thier. Then slide the nut down and tighten as far as you can, this insures 100% that the flare is on properly. Grabing it by the nut and screwing it on is a 50/50 chance you might have a leak in the future. Other than that great job.

I put in a MRCOOL unit in my shop. No real problems with doing it and it cools my 30X24 foot shop. One thing I did was the drain line for the inside unit is a flexible line like a vacuum cleaner hose. I had seen an article about one guy who expanding foam partly pinched the drain causing water to back up inside occasionally. I ran the hose through 3X4 pvc. It looks good and real protects the drain.

Either way - it’s the same. It’s a twisting force onto the crows foot wrench, and the length of the wrench doesn’t change (straight or 90 degrees), so the torque applied - which is really applied to the point where the crows foot wrench attaches to the torque wrench - doesn’t change.

I absolutely love mini-splits. I have allergies to traditional air conditioners and their venting systems. Will be putting these in my home…..

Your allergies to the traditional air conditioning unit is likely the dust and dirt that collect inside the ductwork and on the inside coil and filter. That same dust and dirt can collect in the mini-split but not as much as in the traditional long-run ductwork. Proper cleaning can usually take care of any allergy issues and both system types.

Pretty happy with my 12,000 BTU 240volt Della unit so far. I have my installation on my channel. I went with 240volt because I happened to have a 240volt line conveniently under the house going to my baseboard heater. Well, it looks like I won't need to run my baseboard heater, but it's still connected just in case. Plus, my portable A/C unit was running on 120 volts and was overloading the circuit.

very nice; I think I probably should of tried harder to install the 220 version... but it's getting the job done!

Awesome job, and great video style - straight to the point. I just installed an 18k mr Cool system w/ ceiling cassette and couldn’t be happier. I ordered a 16’ foot line set in addition to the 25’ line set that came with the kit, because like you - I wanted a cleaner looking install without all the extra line set looped behind the condenser. One small point, and not a criticism.. by code, NM (brand name romex) should not be inside conduit. THNN inside conduit to your disconnect is required. Also, impressed with your tenacity to chase down the leak and your job flaring the lines. Well done.

Thanks for the tip on the electrical; I tried my best to do it "right" but fell a little short from what I understand. Seems to all be working well, so I don't plan on taking it apart. I had an electrician come and look it over a few weeks after this and he seemed to think everything was fine. Cheers sir; glad your install went well!

Your delivery of video content is very good. I say Lucky you had a leak because the proper line length does a much cleaner job. I subscribed because of the good content and who can resist the channel name.

This is an articulate video. You speak without oh or ahh's. As for the install steps, very well done - good attention to detail. I would refer to your video if I were installing a split-system. Suggestion - some mention of a remote thermostat placement. A small fan near the evaporator will help distribute cooled air around your shop.

I really appreciate that your install didn't go as smoothly as some of the others featured here it's good to know how to solve the common problems that may come up you may be over torquing the fittings though? If I remember correctly you're supposed to use the attachment at a right angle so you're not adding leverage there for more torque
