Silencing Your Noisy Mini Split Air Conditioner: Step-by-Step Guide 

I'd hate for anyone to have to take this unit a part, but you've done a fantastic job of laying out how to do so step by step. Great tutorial!

I used to take them apart also. Then I bought a bib kit and a Porta blaster and the rest is history. No better way to clean a mini split than with a Porta blaster. Check them out. Keep up the good work big guy

Great guide, Tad! In the unfortunate circumstance that someone needs to do this, I'm glad they have your video to fall back on!

This IS TADfantastic ! Thanks Tad!

That is alot to take apart putting back together is another problem great video

I am glad you are making this video. One of my Ac units is making that kind of noise and I was thinking about taking it a part to see what could be causing it. I also wanted to point out that at minute 7:58 the plug is hard to remove because the red plastic piece Holds it down and it can be remove using a flat head screw driver prior pulling the plug otherwise there is a risk of ripping the connector off.

IT was a great step by step instruction ,as usual you are the best my great mentor. Thank you

There's no way i putting that back together correctly lol

Nice job on the video. I'm just a home owner but enjoy watching from Paris.

Make sure you inspect the rubber isolator on the motor receiving end of that fan wheel. It rips apart itself,due to high torque on startup.

Thanks!

Yeah I learned I’m just going to tell customer that it’s best just replace the indoor Head🤣🤘

Good video ! 😎

Thank you, for future reference for my mini split

Hi! I manage some short term rental units in SoCal and have been learning to do alot of basic maintenance for our mini splits over the years. So I really love your channel and how valuable your content is for DIYers! I had one question for ya. In our rentals we ideally would want our units to stay comfortable and cool at all times for when guests arrive. this would also prevent guests from fiddling with the temperature controls too much. Do you think keeping the AC mini splits on 24/7 at a setting of say 68-70 (on auto) would be better than having them to "conserve energy" and only turning them on when it gets hot? Common sense tells me "yes, turn it off when ur not using it to save energy" but after thinking about it, would keeping it on lesson the wear and tear, and perhaps energy if the machine has to work less hard to maintain 68-70, rather than cooling down a 80+ degree space everyday over and over again?

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I think taking the unit apart 7 feet up becomes a greater challenge. I have an EG4 system just like you used. What you did not explain is how to clean those fan blades on a periodic basis. Is the complete disassembly required or can I get compressed air in there somehow and blow it clean?

Pls make more videos about troubleshooting mini splits, to help us out the new techs on the field, seems like the inverters where the future is going

Thank you!

Great video

Go taddy go! Ty for the content. Just did 2 cassettes to one outside heatpump system mr cool. Precharged linesets are weird when industry has us used to vacuuming down, no?

Thanks Taddy, nice video. It came at a good time since I plan on getting an EG4 mini split soon. I also have found out that it’s difficult to find an HVAC professional in my area who wants to service a mini split. So I need to find out as much as I can about it so I can address any issues myself. Here’s an idea for another topic on the EG4 mini split. Since the EG4’s are being sold with the precharged line sets, what’s the best practice to use when needing to service the indoor air handler or maybe even move it to a different location? Is the regular pump down method used which stores the refrigerant in the outside condenser? Assuming the same line set is being used, it’s now not precharged with refrigerant and would need to use a vacuum pump to remove the air, moisture, and any contaminates before the refrigerant is released back into the lines from the condenser? Always great watching your content, keep up the good work 😊

-------------------------- excellent tutorial......thx .....requires routine maintenance......nothing at all routine getting to it ....let me guess where it's made ....

Thank you!!!

I’ll need this info. here one haven’t installed it yet. Life is complicated

Very good info Tad, Thank You! #giveaway

Hi Taddy, do you deal with AHUs

Taddy, How much do you charge for cleaning a mini-split?

Please show this on ceiling cassettes now

Let me tell you, as a service technician servicing these ductless units is a NIGHTMARE. Sometimes you don't have access on the top to easily remove the cover. If you are working for a company that pushes services on you, you only need one such call to throw your schedule way off!!!
