- A video of an install I did over the weekend. Enjoy
I have an Instagram page where I post other content: @hvacr_tech_aust

Enjoying the content! Keep up the good work! Im finding it really interesting to see what is different in AU from what I see day to day. Its also refreshing to see summer while if freezing.Thank you.
Thanks mate. I’m the same, I watch a few guys from all over. Always interesting to see what people are working on and seeings the differences. Haha glad I’m able to help weather wise 😂 sun has disappeared here the past few days. Hoping for a little more
cool video mate.
You made that look pretty easy. Well done.
I have a problem with a recent new ME split install.
Fan only, runs quiet , but when in heat mode makes a hell of a racket. After enquiring with Mitsi Electric, tech person suggested that the indoor unit might not be attached to the wall bracket correctly, in particular the centre hook at the top of the bracket. Would you agree with this possibility, or could it be something else?
I have seen that before where the middle clip isn’t in correctly and in heating mode the unit expands and makes contact with the fan barrel. Makes an aggressive noise. Can always be something too, but first check how it’s sitting.
@@hvacraustralia The installers returned and found that it WAS the middle clip not located properly. All fixed.😁
So, this is basically an MSY-GT unit (which sold in my country) but with a bit bigger CDU with blue fin condenser, not a cost-cutting cute and small CDU with microchannel condenser.
Also, nice installation.
It’s always interesting seeing the same brands but from different locations and their variations. Where are you from? Thanks mate.
👍 NEAT & CLEAN INSTALLATION PROFESSIONAL USED PVC TRUNKING WITH ACCESSORIES FOR CHARGING LINE LOOKS SYSTEMIC. JOB BUT END PORTION OF TRUNKING MUST B CLOSED BY PU FOAM SPRAY OF WHITE RTV SILICON AVOID INSECT TO ENTRY INSIDE TRUNKING ... NEXT TIME DO CARE PL...
Thanks for the tip mate. I’ll keep that in mind for next time.
Much easier way is to do install the wires to the head unit instead of using a snake before mounting the head unit. Saves a lot of time because head unit is infront of you instead of the wall!! Just the way I've always done it cheers!
That’s a good idea! I’ll give it a go the next install I do. Cheers mate.
Hey mate. The wall brackets you use outside, what was the wall made out of and what screws and how many did you use? Reason for asking is that I am going to install the same unit at my property but my wall outside is cladding.
Hey mate. It was a rendered brick wall. I used 5 masonry anchors to secure it. Probably overkill for this size though.
I had this same model installed recently. When the compressor is running slow maintaining temp, it vibrates the outer casing in front of the compressor, so annoying. I notice on this model they don’t stamp a pattern into the sheet metal on the front to give it rigidity, Might have to see if it’s a warranty job.
I’ll have to keep an ear out for this. I haven’t heard anything yet, but thanks for the heads up.
Hey mate what fixings do you use to hang the indoor
Hey mate. I use the metal hollow wall anchors, and a few timber screws into the studs.
Great installation video, it was nice to see you pressure test it. Cool to see you installed the isolator. I have been seeing a lot of PCB's getting fried by power surges from lighting or power lines. Have you ever thought of including surge protection in the switchboard?
Thanks mate. You just know the day you don’t pressure test is the day you have a leak 😂 I haven’t. If it was a larger installation, VRV or some such, then I imagine people would go for that. Is that something you install as standard?
@@hvacraustralia I'm not a sparky/fridgie I just watch lots of videos on the topic. I know customers want the cheapest price so offering surge protection is difficult but you mentioned it was a friend you were installing for and I just thought you might consider it.
Bloody Mitsi hate us not running a seperate comms cable, apparently they won’t cover warranty.
As long as they never find out we’re sweet 🙌
when I turn on the air conditioner for heating, I have to wait 5 minutes before the air conditioner starts blowing
With Mitsubishi, the indoor fan won’t run until the coil thermistor reads above a set temperature to prevent cold air from being circulated. 5 minutes does seem a little long to start running, but hard to say. When it runs doesn’t it produce hot air?
Mitsubishi heavy over electric everyday of the week
I haven’t had many dealings with MHI. Better quality you reckon? I find ME pretty reliable and easy to work on, but they’re also the one I see the most so that probably helps haha.
you're absolutely kidding youself 😂 mitsi heavy installs is a sure sign a sparky put it in plus they look like trash.
I’ve never heard that before 😂
nothing wrong with MHI's if you think sparkys only install them think again, been doing them for 8 years no issues...at least they have there own independent guys to do warrantys
wish they would stop selling that cheap crap white insulated pipe.. black inso fired rated pipe is the pipe i use, especially due to the hot WA climate
I’ve used the fire rated stuff a few times. It looks 10x better too. The WA sun would rip through the white insulation.
