Man, I will be honest, im a homeowner with some above average DIY skill😂.. and im looking to install a 5 zone mini split, and to be honest, your videos are giving a lot of confidence.. i was quoted over 21k from multiple places to do the job here in NY, and I just figured I could spend 7 to 8 and give a try... im hoping for the best... im a new subscriber 😊

I thoroughly enjoy step by steps and tricks coming from you, a lot of your tips and tricks I have seen over time have saved me a lot of headaches as where I live it can sometimes be days or weeks before we can get a tech out on a non-emergency call. So hats off and thank you for your videos!

@joemaxfield93 2 года назад

Love watching your crew, especially since I do the same type of work and still come home and watch you. A lot of times if I have a little heavier ductless systems condenser I tip the right side of the bracket on the house up a 1/4” to accommodate the heavier compressor side. Over time they can start to drop down. Keep up the great work

@brooksparadis2230 2 года назад

Love ur content mikey! My flaring tool is a rigid that ratchets . We install mistubishi mini splits, love them. Very efficient, effective, quiet, and most important if need be easy to access the control boards for the outdoor unit(heat pump). Fujitsu boards suck to work on, no room and they are upside down. Love watching you and your team. Let's go bosch!!!

@Silky_boi 2 года назад

Nice work crew. It was actually an older video of yours that you showed me how to hook up a mini split condensate pump and ever since then I’ve had no troubles with them. Sharing is caring especially when the work is tits!!

@diablorojo914 2 года назад

Love the mini split installs. Did my own because of channels like this two years ago. I recommend maybe show how you figured out the size units for the house. Discuss the level of insulation and things like that. Saw the spray foam and made me think of that.

@COLYDE 2 года назад

Hey Mikey pipes, clean install! One tip I can say is there’s tap on tool that you could flip from drilling to screwing making drilling through concrete twice as fast. Also whenever I have trouble getting a good pitch for the drain, Id use a little condensate pump to help do the work. Thank you for feeding the people!

@brucemacneil Год назад

It is good that you have a performance metric for your installation - that install should be approximately a half day's work for a competent experienced person. It is important to homeowners to get a quality job in a reasonable time which means a reasonable cost. And, the equipment should be purchased with a reasonable markup to the homeowner. Yes - Spray Foam has some tremendous upsides - insulation and air seal - and it is a rather challenging material to work around when installing heat pumps. Many knowledgeable folk - like yourself - ought work to educate lay people that the windows and insulation are also parts of the mechanical system in your house.

@1971omi Год назад

Use the Black max torque wrench. It stops you from over torquing. Overtime over torquing or under torquing leaks. Also not any flaring block good for HVAC. As you said yellow jacket or Navac or CPS that have Orbital moving which perfectly for flaring.

@rickdiego5 2 года назад

I watch most plumbing and mini split installs and repairs. I appreciate your videos and the sharing of your knowledge. I was curious why you ran the line set down the inside wall from one of the indoor units instead of through the wall and down which I'm sure you have a pretty good reason for. I would have looked for a different location for that unit and went through the wall unless it was impossible. You mentioned you should have used three quarter PVC for your drain lines and in reality you should rip out those flex lines and use PVC and should have connected both drain lines in the attic going down to one drain going out of the building. I'm not an HVAC professional but I have some knowledge and experience. I know that on a traditional unit the condensate line needs to have trap water but the mini splits I've worked with don't want any trap water.

@eddiereichel9354 2 года назад

38:28 the reading at the pump is I'm sure a correct reading. Understanding how tools work is important. I'd be really interested to see side by side reading with another gauge. The key is the reading will be different the pump is running. I wanna see side by side reading with the pump off.

@ltsiver 2 года назад

Well, I feel comfortable with possibly installing my own after watching this. (Don't tell anti-diy HVAC) also, after you made references to Mr cool, here's the ad list from RU-vid at the end of the video: Ad 1: Tudor Dixon for MI governor Ad 2: Mr. Cool 4th gen 2 zone mini-split

Great video Mikey pipes god bless say safe and mr. cool are not good system one of my customers got one big waste of money had nothing but problems with it he had me come out to try to fix it it was just a nightmare he ended up ripping it out and we installed one of our LENNOX mini split systems

@tomshelnutt2256 5 месяцев назад

According to the manufacturer training I’ve had they recommend nylog or 3-1 oil on the back side of the flare between that and the nut

@devman8youtube908 2 года назад

Man Mike I just love this stuff a lot, at the company I work for we do a lot of Lennox and Mitsubishi Mini Split installs so this video helps me a lot even though it isn’t the same brand. I got a question, it has nothing to do with this video but what is a Gremlin if I’m spelling that right? Is it used in Air Conditioning, Heating or both. Also something I’m curious about, why on some of the ductless mini splits do they only have a port on the vapor side for the manifold connection? I’m just a student learning the trade, going to school for it and having an early start on the job. Thanks for another great video it’s really appreciated by me and the rest of the subscribers! Thanks!

@mph5896 2 года назад

Looks great. Not to be critical, but I would put a kick out on the pvc drain so the condensate isn't dripping into the foundation. Like a gutter.

@michaelbala4225 2 года назад

Since blower units were not installed on exterior walls, a pump on each unit should have been considered. Aspen makes a great pump that looks good and is easy to access to repair or replace if needed. Hopefully no issues with condensate line.By the way, Electrician should install surge protector on new AC shutoff . I love my Fujitsu 3 unit ductless that I installed. No warranty, but I saved a ton and I know it's installed correctly.

@F12255 11 месяцев назад

why would you use an aspen pump if you have pitch. gravity is always better. those mini pumps are an absolute last option. they hold barely any water and go off like every 10 minutes. and they are not perfectly quiet. if a pump was necessary I would put a full size pump in the unfinished knee wall behind the unit. quieter and holds way more water

@michaelbala4225 11 месяцев назад

@@F12255 I would always want to install a blower unit on an exterior whenever possible. You may have misconstrued my original comments . I would only consider a condensate pump if the install was on an interior wall and by the way, pumps can and do fail. Aspen makes a good condensate pump and if you are in a situation where you have to use one should be considered.
