Tony, that was the best explanation for a mini split, I have ever heard. I appreciate it. I was so close to putting a mini split in my new 12 x 24 shop, but ultimately chose a 14,000 btu inverter heat pump/A/C unit. Had I watched this beforehand, I would have went with the mini split, but my set up is working okay for now in this south Arkansas humidity and heat. Thanks again sir.
Marty, Brother, you need to keep your humidity in AR. It has been coming across the river and getting on my side. LOL! It is horrible here too.
Hahahaha!
And releasing refrigerant can also pose the danger of frost bite, so that's another good reason not to vent it. It's too bad they don't make these systems for multi room home use. My dad has one in his shop and it does well cooling it. Thanks for sharing Tony!! 👍👍
They do make them for multiple rooms. They have one outside condenser and multiple head units.
As always you and your Wife always give us a great opportunity to know what you are doing at your farm I.e. house many thanks for sharing your experience and God blessed you all mate.
Thank you again for sharing your experience to us all mate and as always God bless you all mate
My pleasure
Awesome video as always!
Thank you. The system is still running great.
No smoke, upon crank up when doing an AC install, is a good start.
Something not blowing up is always a good sign. 😁
I really wish i could have seen the part where you wired it into the panel
There are thousands of videos out there on AC disconnects. I do appreciate your feedback.
Great job!! Looks great !!
Thank you.
I has a mini split put in our upstairs master bedroom and absolutely love it.
We have one in our sunroom and one in our utility building. I first was exposed to these while deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. They held up amazingly well.
Awesome stuff, as always, guys
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very good guide!
Thank you
Im looking at putting a mr. cool mini split in my cabin conversion. Really leaning towards them as they are made up the road from us in Hickory KY. They do use the precharged lineset with the quick connects that you showed. Most people seem to love them. However, i dont like the look of all the coiled up excess tubing. I may look into the pioneer brand like you installed. Shoot, i remember back when i did plumbing and piping systems, i can't tell you how many systems i put in when everything was silver soldered. Im not an hvac guy, but i do have a pump and gauges for doing my own auto ac. And i still have all my piping tools so i could do mine like you did and shorten the lineset if i went with a pioneer. Thanks for the heads up on the brand
We have been running Pioneers for about 8 years. Good unit
@TonysTractorAdventure thanks for the heads up. I'll look into them. Do you order those online or is there a local dealership? I ask as im only about 30 mins or so from your town.
Order from online
Didn’t understand your statement about just hooking the lines up and not pulling a vacuum, that the unit would not work. My understanding is that these units are designed to work without doing the gauge/vacuum piece. That method of not having to do that is supposed to be their claim to fame for the DIYer. Please clarify…..enjoy the channel, TIA.
There are some units that have quick connects. There is already a vacuum pulled inside the lines. I am not a fan of those types, because they add complexity. I prefer the manual flare fitting .The units with manual flare fittings/ lines are exposed to open atmosphere. This is why they have to be vacuumed down after the lines are attached. Some people have just hooked them up without pulling the vacuum. That is a recipe for guaranteed failure. Again, only some brands have the Quick connect that are pre-vacuumed and I am not a fan of those. They have a higher rate of failure.
Thanks, I was looking at the Mr Cool brand.
@@TonysTractorAdventure those flare fittings should have torqued. the biggest problem is people over tighten the nuts and cut the flare.
I have never had a leak in 8 years.
I’m interested in installing one of these in our small one room cabin. The cabin originally had a woodburning stove and there’s a 6 inch hole through the logs. How could this hole be used to accommodate this type of unit? Thanks, Tim in Northern TN.
You could run the hose through the hole if the hole is in the right place. That would be a neat fix.
@@TonysTractorAdventure I’m just concerned about what to do with the extra space since the hole is much larger than the hole you cut.
@CliffsideStables I would foam it up and make some trim to look professional.
sll the good parts were edited, really little information in this video.
Thank you for your opinion.
I’m more concerned about electrical part, I have regular electrical outlet outside, can I use that as power source??
To meet code, you need an outside cutoff. This unit needs 30 amps. Smaller units need 20 amps.
