Video

Yes, they do have an app and you can connect to Wi-Fi for that feature OR remove the microSD card and pull the video files onto a computer or compatible TV

And expanding my orchestra of frogs 😂

Do it!!! I got it for peace of mind since I see an accident on my coffee route almost daily I just wanted to cya

Sorry I must have missed it! What was the question?

Found it responded, it was in thread from a 3 year old video so I don't see those notifications unfortunately

100% agreed! The most surprising part is how quiet they actually are considering the aggressiveness of the tread

Thank you! I am so excited to get working on this solar system.

I appreciate the advice, however to accommodate an array of this size I would be losing a lot of yard space. The roof is easily accessible and it is existing infrastructure so no need for a large ground mount installation which would require serious footings because I need to meet 150 mph wind speeds.

@@ianmburke gotcha so for you that setup makes complete sense! Can’t wait to see it man stay safe and be careful!

Thank you! Stay tuned there will be lots more to come! Keep the suggestions coming 🫶

Seemed fitting 🤣

That would be amazing!!!!

Three phase is one of the eventual steps! And the rest is for becoming grid independent, with the consideration of my eventual needs for more power

@@ianmburke id wire it as 3 phase 120/208 now and your future proofed without the need to do a phase converter.

Brilliant! And I will most likely take your exact advice

It will cover the whole barn and two arrays on the house, and a few extra panels for any needed expansion projects

Same!!!!! I cannot wait to not have a $500 a month power bill 😂

That's really weird?? But was the video able to play just CZcams annoying ads? I bought CZcams music/CZcams red years ago which is now 'youtube premium' and it is literally the best purchase ever. Unlimited streaming music plus upload your own music, plus you get CZcams with ZERO ads... One of the few purchases I would do over and over again.

Worked well to keep the heat soak at bay

Visually hot

I never download apps of any kind really but the side of the unit has a QR code that links to this site: smartapp.tuya.com/solarairconditioner

Yea I'm still not sure what that does. But the unit works perfectly so .... 🤷

@@ianmburke having an absolutely horrible time trying to mount the inside unit to the mounting plate. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. First the hole seemed way too close to the plate the way I did it according to the template. Then it was nearly impossible to get all the wires and cables through enough that I could get the unit against the wall to click into the clips. So I mounted it onto a piece of plywood so it would have a bit of space and I barely got it on, but it looks precarious. Very frustrating.

I wonder if having a pass through hole that was a little larger to allow movement in the position of the line set would make that easier as well?

@@ianmburke I finally got it. I didn’t realize it was absolutely vital to clip the top in first. Also, moving a dresser over to stand on, instead of having each foot on a different step ladder, made for a lot less swearing…

Yes the top hooks in then the bottom clips in! Brilliant with the dresser though I used one step stool and my shoulder hates me now 😂 glad you got it in!

What is the offset on those wheels?

For that sqft you could even get 2 of the 12k / 1 ton units and it would keep it really cold. I have this unit upstairs in my house which is about 1300 sqft and it keeps it at 68 on 90 degrees days

@@ianmburke Oh okay, thanks!

They do that every once in awhile but they usually seem to do that when too many are trying to feed at once.

As we approach the 4th of July weekend I'm a reflecting on how this great nation of UNITED states came to be. The power of the PEOPLE'S will to join together and set aside differences and sacrifice life in the pursuit of FREEDOM. Freedom to choose how I live and granting you that same freedom in return. I challenge you good sir, this weekend set aside option in the pursuit of brotherhood as it will undoubtedly be the most vital asset we can pass to the next generation.

Wtf

Smart to put the covers on and a good clearcoat!

Plan on painting and clear coat plus covers give it extra protection

A couple of reasons: 1 those hex bolts often strip when trying to remove them and 2 the alignment won't ever be the same. So for me just keeping them on was easiest

Good call lol

I'm an old man I love my grandpa step 😂 but I'd really like those rock slider style retractable ones

😂 everybody is doing it!

They are relatively expensive and they have ultra low resolution versions for pretty cheap but depending on what you are using it for, it might limit the usefulness with lower resolution

Yeah this thing is pretty amazing!

Thank you

I don't have the jeep anymore but I never did nor does the new owner. Engines can get wet

That is awesome! Did you do them all DIY? The outdoor unit I need to level just a hair more it's about 2 degrees leaning outwards but still working incredibly well

@@ianmburke Yes did them myself, I found some literature that the bearings could wear prematurely if the unit is not both plum and level, it was fiddley as the wall mounts are less than precise, wife not happy about the looks of the inside unit but it works great. The ceiling units were not readily available. Are you going to do dedicated solar to each unit or run a inverter from solar and power the systems.

I appreciate it man!

Thank you! Your content made me want to use the fused disconnect.

@@ianmburke Awesome! 👍

Those whips on the disconnect are disguising

How so? What can I do better?

I do have the cradles I just haven't installed them yet since I haven't gone heavy offroading since the install and the Airlift are amazing for the price they do exactly what I need and are less than 500$ USD

Glad it helped!!! I spent a lot of time stalking the obnoxious Facebook groups and online forums until I found someone with the same year who had gone 37 and confirmed so I figured I owed it to the community to show it in a place where most come for answers!

😂 at least I can still turn them off and just smash my way into the direction I assume I should be traveling

Spacers in just the front might be odd??? Idk I personally stay away from spacers and select for wheels with the offset needed, the rubbing is minimal so for me I'll keep it. But lmk if that works

I'm actually going to line the inside with thin white foam for that reason and the additional feature of rattling noise reduction

@@ianmburke excellent!

I appreciate that 🙏

Thank you! The length would be super helpful and although the mounting was a little more technical I was most worried about the noise it would reverberate into the wall and that is almost zero!! Several times I have thought the unit was off while I was outside 15 feet from it because it is so quiet. Once I do the first floor install I'll also do some decibel readings near this unit indoor and out because personally I think that is a very under represented benefit of these units, they are nearly silent even when running on full

Not sure yet I'll have to see once I get the solar putting power to it. But as of right now it is the only air conditioning for the upstairs of my house so for the month of June I'll have a good idea of what it will have cost compared to last year when I get my bill in July and I'll do a comparison to show how it stacks up with just AC power then I'll add solar and see what the real ROI is

@@ianmburke IDK why I even ask, as you're always 3 steps ahead of anything I think of...loving your content none the less

Agreed!!!

100% I agree it likely compromised it some l but I highly suspect it would not be compromised enough to cause it to not do the job it was engineered to do.

Thank you Matthew! I'm excited to install it this weekend and subsequently install the solar to see how effective these types of products can be for people trying to reduce grid energy consumption or just avoid having to connect to the grid altogether.
