We just installed a new mini split. I was trying to check the temperature with a thermometer and it grabbed the probe and broke a couple fins off one section of the fan. It seems like the air is still blowing good on 5/6 of the fan. Do I need to replace the fan immediately or will it be ok to run it like this for a while?
@@DoritoHunter it depends on the unit capacity, how many zones, how difficult or easy it is to install and which part of the country or world you live in. The same exact unit may have a different cost in two different houses next to each other due to the floor plan, construction details, etc
@@cleanairheatingcooling4105 For safety reasons or something to do with how it runs? Also, with the weather in my area being over 100 degrees for 10 days will that have something to do with my house not staying as cool as I think it should?
Very helpful, thanks so much!! A house for sale, that I might be interested in, has these throughout. This helps me know if I want to look at the house!
How you handle this varies by more detail about the symptoms and also the exact model and manufacture that you have. Could you give me more information?
Pretty sure most of the companies that provide this service are scammers. They charge a fee to come for servicing and then say, "for additional fees, you can have the blower cleaned, anti mold snake oil put in, and a bunch of useless random upgrades." So essentially, the servicing was simply for them to look at it and make up ways to charge more money.
You and Your video were heaven sent!! I had to sleep in 90 degrees and boy it was the worst but that is over bcz i followed ur instructions and AC is on and kicking! Thank u thank u thank u so much for explaining every setting and for posting this video!! You made it so so simple to understand!!! God bless you!
I am referring to the indoor unit on the wall. Your line set goes through the wall and immediately left. How does the water flow over that horizontal run?
@@htiek65 cuz those dealerships gotcha! That's a great question. All horizontal lines are pitched down approximately a quarter inch per foot which is industry standard for proper water flow through pipes.
If I was to use a tankless hot water heater as a strictly closed loop with a circulating pump, when the water gets to the thermostats setting would it stop heating until the water temperature come back down or does it continue to heat the entire time water flows through it? I’m trying to make a heated chicken perch for the winter. So the water will be constantly flowing through a 1 1/2 pipe. And then going back to heater. I just don’t know if electric/gas point of use water heaters have some kind of flow sensor that tells it to turn on any time water is moving. I just want low constant temperature. Would this work? Or do you know?
Oh boy. I love my chickens so this is a cool idea. Just curious. Would this be a dedicated unit for this purpose or would you do a loop from the house unit to the chickens? Btw, there are cheap electric mat options you can buy online, specifically designed for chickens.
@@cleanairheatingcooling4105 It’ll be a dedicated water heater just to the chickens. I’m completely off grid and always looking for ways to save power. I was gonna use a propane water heater because I already have a 1000 gallon tank. I could try an electric one depending on how energy efficient it is.
@@LeftyCrusher9000 so it depends on which unit you're using and if the thermostat control is internal of the unit or if it's an external device you're installing. I could answer your question in more detail if I know exactly which items you're working with
Hey nice video. I have a problem with sweating ducts under my mobile home.. they are aluminum and don’t have any insulation. What kind of insulation do you recommend I wrap it for no condensation?
You can use the bubble wrap and staple it to the floor with appropriately sized staples. You may also use a 2in R8 insulation. Or even 4in R11 or R13. Up to you.
I have a 36k Gree mini split and my blower fan is a two piece design. All the videos I see show one piece wheels. I’m trying to figure out how to replace my right hand fan (closest to blower motor). Do you know how?
I don't know how because we don't work on those units. We primarily work with top line brands like Mitsubishi. And this would be one of the reasons why, it's very easy to work on them there is a lot of support and they rarely fail. Most of the end user available products are nearly impossible to service, get parts or support for. I'm saying this in a joking way but also seriously and respectfully, the best option would be to replace it with a Mitsubishi.
I've just been cleaning mine with plain old tap water in the basement wash basin (6 feet from the EAC) all this time. I should probably use an actual cleaning solution. Also just got the idea to use my leaf blower to dry them off faster if I'm going to bother taking them outside.
That would help. Especially if it's an electric leaf blower. Our fir those who don't have a blower, can use the back end of a shop vac (if filtered correctly) or a hair drier.
Most underrated and underviewed mini split video on RU-vid. Thank you for going through these things to consider. What about noise, 4 way vs 1 way vs wall unit? What is the default preferred unit? Ive got a 1200sqft 30x40 garage I'm air conditioning. I dont need the cars to necessarily be super chilled, but the garage itself I definitely want to be conditioned. I'm thinking 2x 12k ceiling cassette units spaced closer to where I'll be working, to avoid ice cold glass water effect on the cars when backing out into the 95F florida humidity lol I've done that with my current home garage and its great to be able to do it. But the cars themselves don't need to be ice cold.
Great questions. First of all make sure that these units get sized correctly for that space given the square footage but not only the square footage. Do you have to use the construction material insulation the exact weather data for your area. This is a service that we offer if you'd like to call or show us a text. The wall mount units are generally cheaper to install and cheaper to purchase than the ceiling cassettes. It's really depends if your goal is lowest upfront cost or if you just want the right thing for the right reasons even if it cost more. When we install the wall mounted units we connect the condensate and refrigeration lines on the outside of the wall to avoid possible leaks and make it easy to service. If you want to text us some pictures of your job we can probably give you further advice that's a bit more tailored to your situation. 360-398-9400
Nice video! I had a question about my Navien tankless. In the last month the system would not provide hot water and the flame indicator on the front panel would turn off. This happens intermittently and rebooting the system will fix it temporarily until it happens again. Any idea why this may be happening?
What's the last time you had a professionally serviced? I think I would want to know that before I give any advice because there could be so many reasons why. Also how old is the unit?
There isn't any difference between them. Just how they are installed and where they are located is a bit different and it varies from 🏡 to 🏡 it also varies from unit to unit
I'm confused. Can you clarify? At minute 3:16 you say the mini split pulls air from outside... but prior to that you say, "In the summer months, the indoor air handler is going to pull warm air from inside the house and send it towards, and replace it with cool air." Are you implying with that sentence that the replacement air is coming from outside? Ie, how does it actually get cooled? For those of us in terrible air quality from fires, this would need to be factored in or we are pulling bad air into the house.
That particular spot was a mistake. Thank you for asking. Most minisplits do not pull air from the outside, they just recirculate and condition inside air which is great for concerns with wildfire smoke.
I still can’t get my T6 pro smart working. The ac seems like it’s “cold” air, but it never gets cold enough as set and the fan turns on forever. I think my ISU isn’t correct.
That's very likely. If you're in our market we are happy to come out and take a look at it for you. You may need to call a local HVAC professional to help you further with this. You can also give us a call or a text that our office line and see if one of our techs can help you. 360-398-9400
hello, What citrus based degreaser are you using? I bought simple green and an HDX 56 oz hand held multi purpose sprayer. I called HDX, they told me simple green will destroy the O rings. What can I use to clean my post and pre post filters in my honeywell air cleaner? Thanks
We use HD calgon. There are some other fence your products out there that cost anywhere from 50 dollars to $150 for the ones that we use. I've never heard that about simple green. But there are so many variations of these household cleaners that it's really hard to be certain without checking this specifications on each bottle or the ingredients. I've never heard of simple green damaging these cleaners but that's not something that we use I only know of that based on our customers feedback.
You're the man. Thank you! I think the tech changed 340 to 0 and my bill has been going up since. I switched it to 2 to not engage the furnace right away.
Thank you for letting me know. I know I'm walking on thin ice divulging such information 😃. This is only supposed to be used by technicians but with caution even homeowners can play with those settings. I would warn you against the biggest risk which could be equipment damage or causing unnecessary service calls which as a homeowner you will have to pay for. But if nothing goes wrong then there's nothing to worry about.
hello, After watching many videos on how to clean an electronic air cleaner, I noticed many videos do not show the post filter in the unit. Is it necessary to use a post filter? If so, how often should it be replaced? Thank you very much
That's a great question. I wish I would have mentioned this in my video. Having been a service technician for over 15 years now I can say that 90% of the electronic air cleaners do not have the post filter. They either get thrown away or they get damaged but they are not essential. Most of the work is being done by the big electronic cells. If you have the post filters you just wash them like the rest of the cells. You don't replace them unless they are damaged. If you still have the manual, there may be a recommendation for a schedule and how often to replace the post filters.
@@presto25100 thank you for watching. Please like the video and subscribe to strengthen out chanell. Much appreciated! 🧡 Yes, we use this for rectangle and round duct. And the width is 4 ft. I don't recall the length. I'm guessing it's about 100ft. It might be 75 ft.
You can dilute it to an average strength as long as you do this regularly. If you're trying to clean them and one application is not sufficient, then go ahead and try a second and a third application. If that's not enough then I would say you can use a stronger solution. I appreciate the comment and please check back in for future videos and feel free to reach out with any other questions.
Thanks for the vid. I have some free foil bubble wrap that I'd like to use for a 26 gauge dryer duct, one side white the other foil. The duct runs inside the ceiling of the garage which is the floor to living space above. There will be insulation in this cavity below the duct and the rim joists sealed. The garage will be insulated but not heated full time, and 2 of the walls are concrete as it's partially in ground. The heat from the duct would serve the floor well in the winter and help keep the water lines warm too, but, I worry about condensation. If I insulate the duct then I'd lose any benefit of the heat. Once this cavity is closed up I don't ever want to open it up again.
@@cleanairheatingcooling4105 I ended up wrapping the duct how you did, using the strips to create an air gap. Really not necessary in my case as it won't be inspected, but it made me feel better. Also used the Dryer- Ell 90 degree elbow and the rugged Dryer Wall Vent which are both awesome products.
Can you tell me why manufacturers require that wall distribution units be mounted on an exterior wall? Some will even void a warranty if that instruction is violated. There is no physics or physical reason for this requirement. This is shown by the allowance of ceiling cassettes.
I don't think that any of the reputable brands we work with have that requirement. In our world, it's recommend to mount on exterior walls to make the condensate train and lineset run and connections easier to install and service in the future. But we install them on interior walls all the time and that's up to manufacturer standards.
You're correct. That is true for the units shown in the video. FYI, we do install 4 way ceiling cassettes which have a small opening for fresh air intake (no exhaust)
Ideally you should use two appropriately sized units, one for each unit. This way you can set individual temps in each room. Or you can use a small slim ducted air handler which will provide a supply duct and a return duct in each room. Then both rooms will be controlled by the same thermostat. You could add a remote sensor for the second room.
