In this video you will see me install a multi zone ductless mini split system. It will have 3 zones, one in the living room and one in each of two bedrooms. Condenser will be on the side of the house. Galvanized sheet metal covers for the line sets. I run the electrical myself and installed a plug next to condenser for servicing it in the future. Fan coils were mounted high on the wall. Condenser was secured to the wall with metal straps. Condenser is on a condenser pad with gravel underneath to help with drainage.
Thank you for watching!!
We service the area between 5, 210 and 605 FWY here in Southern California. As of right now we only service residential homes and not commercial. Please feel free to contact us with any questions regarding this video.

@jeffm.5439 Год назад

What a pleasure to watch a true craftsman do his thing! I don't think most people know that installing a four or five head unit mini split system is far far cheaper than installing/replacing a ducted HVAC system in a house. And the high efficiency and high SEER rating on these units costs a fraction in power bills compared to a whole house ducted unit. It is not uncommon for a whole house ducted system to leak 30 to 40 percent of all of the cool air or hot air out of the seams and holes in the ducts before it ever has a chance to get to any rooms to do its job. I'm really surprised that mini splits are not mandatory on all new houses in this day and age of people going crazy over environmental stuff.

Nice work! I'm getting ready to have a contractor install a 62,000 BTU 6 Zone ductless Mini Split electric Heat Pump system in my 1374 Square Feet home. the units are 2 x 7K, 1 x 9K, 2 x 12K and 1 x 15K. I know that I need at least 2 x 3 port Brach Boxes or 1 x 6 Port Branch Box but I'm not sure how many Y-Joint connectors that I'll need for 6 zones. (Logic tells me that I'd need at least 6) I'm asking because my Contractor informed me that he he orders the parts, his company will stack on a 15 - 18% markup on the cost of the equipment (which will put me over my budget). If I buy all the needed equipment, I'll only need to worry about covering his Hourly rate for what he says will be a two day job. Trying to get the Job done for 15K or less.

I live in Tucson. I have a great room which is the kitchen and living room. Measuring 20x34 feet. I am thinking which would be better - 1 each 18K single unit mounted up about 8' on an outside wall about offset from by 8 feet to one side OR dual zone 2 inside 9K and 9K center offset evenly. It would look aesthetically better using the 2ea. 9K. inside units. I would prefer to do the 2 inside units. What do you think?

@theairconditioningguy 2 года назад

If you have good weather stripping and windows I'd go with the two units. If you don't have good weather stripping I'd use two 12k units instead.
