@CncObsession 18 дней назад

Actually "ground" and "earth" are entirely different. This being a consumer installed product that ties into the grid and has a UL listing along with a solar intertie makes the rules different. I know in 220, the ground is tied in the service panel to the neutral. I just ran a chassis ground too. I dont know the codes just general info.

@JosephVSeelyJr Месяц назад

Just put the same 12K unit in last week. Found the process just as you did. Unbelievable performance. I intend to add solar as well. Can you imagine all that cooling/heating for free when operating on solar? Appreciate your video. Not a bunch of extraneous crap, just straight forward info. However, I implore you to revisit your branch circuit ground that you left disconnected on outdoor unit. Please install a #12 AWG ring or spade lug on the grounding conductor and attach it to the screw holding the GRN/YEL wire from the included wiring harness. Not trying to be a smart@$$, but it will complete your safety grounding circuit. Yes, I am an Electrician! Thanks again.

@JustinsProject Месяц назад

I appreciate the constructive feedback. I agree. The ground should be connected. My concern and call out is to stress the point that there was no dedicated spot for it. As there was on the 24k unit. I did not do the best job trying to explain that. I should have done better there. I did reach out to EG4 and got confirmation from their engineering department that they will fix it and update their install guide. So, I guess it worked in a sense. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

@CncObsession 18 дней назад

I did the same years ago, definitely add the panels. Mine almost ran gridless during the day on 6 dedicated 300 watt panels in Texas.

@Cotronixco День назад

For 240VAC loads, always use black and red as the legs, and white as neutral. If no neutral is needed, cap off the white. Don't use black and white for hot legs and cap the red!

Good job w 2 exceptions,you didn’t use a sleeve going thru the shop wall,and it had sharp edges from the tin. You never connected the ground from the disconnect to the outdoor unit.This is potentially dangerous as neither unit is grounded . Plz go pull that cover off strip back the green wire and wrap it around the same ground screw the indoor unit used or crimp on a solderless terminal. Great job otherwise and it’s nice to see an option to Mr cool. Clearly they are the advertising Kings all you see is their ads .

I just installed the EG4 9K unit by myself a couple weeks ago. This thing is amazing! It keeps over 1000sqft cool overnight just sipping 200W! I had another 8K AC unit that was barely getting the house down to 87F in the summer heat. The EG4 instantly changed that to 76F with power to spare. Did I mention how quiet they are too? If I can't see it I use the wireless app to see if its on. Wish these were around long ago. Can't use the heat pump feature this winter!

@Justin Mr. Cool did not lie they released their products years before anyone else, since then they have not change their data, still not a lie just old outdated information, anyways you are also wrong the ground is in the outdoor unit, in my EG4 solar installed i put a terminal on the ground and screw it down on the indicated ground screw, this is critical because it provides ground to the indoor unit.

@fullyelectric 2 месяца назад

Also i vacuum out my lines before opening the coolant. I’m surprised you didn’t check for leaks and do the same, but happy it worked out for you without doing that critical steps as well.

@JustinsProject 2 месяца назад

I appreciate your point of view and agree that Mr. Cool may be the first branded DIY solution. However, it does not give them a claim to infinitely state "They are the only" DIY solution. It's false to continue that claim when there are other companies offering the same solution. If they would state "The First" then they would be correct. Regardless, they are NOT the only company to offer a DIY solution and that is why I will stand behind my statement. They continue to put out new content claiming they are the only ones. It's false. I am working on getting an official answer from the manufacturer on the ground concern. This is only a concern with the 12k unit. The 24k unit has a dedicated slot to put it and is clearly marked on that unit. I will follow up when I get an answer from EG4.

The max line set length for one indoor unit is half that 15 m. The maximum height difference between indoor and outdoor unit is 10 m or 30 ft.

Unfortunately EG4 and MrCool are charged w R410A refrigerant. Starting 2025, new refrigerant will be required (R32 and R454A). Wait til 2025 to purchase newly designed heat pumps with higher efficiency w new refrigerants.

@sophiegrisom 18 дней назад

Mini-splits with precharged lines are pricey, mainly due to the special fittings. Much cheaper to buy a mini-split with open lines and a vacuum pump ($70 Amazon). The compressor is still pre-charged. You can use the pump later for car AC work. The later allows cutting and flaring the lines to size so no extra coiling. But, haven't seen any mini-splits but the EG4 and Mr Cool which can run directly off PV panels with no inverter. Best to squirt some No-Ox grease in the PV connectors, and even coat the AC wire ends with it.

How would I know if I am getting charged for the smaller amount of power produced Vs Having like a large whole house solar system installed? To have a net meter installed my power comapny requires an application with the solar company and electrician listed and signed etc so that would element being able to have a net meter with a solar minisplit DIY or a just plug in panel with microinverter.

@addison888 2 месяца назад

The consumption seems a little high. I have the 24k just installed yesterday and its pulling 130watts on standy turned off. I have it hooked up to a ecoflow delta 2 pro ultra. So it tells me in real time. Not sure whats up with the draw when nothing is running. Is yours drawing power when you turn its off. On the eg4 app it doesnt show a power draw but on the Ecoflow unit it does.

@JustinsProject 2 месяца назад

You can monitor in real time and control the EG4 unit using the ( Solar AirCon App ) - Here is a link to the Google play store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.solar.airconditioner (they have a Apple version as well) My 24k unit draws around 60watts with the fan circulating the air fan on auto speed. That is with the mini split set on ECO. I have that one programmed to turn on the unit at 7am and turn off at 6:30pm. During those hours I usually have it set to 70F to keep it cool. I have consumed a total of 87kWh for July so far 16 full days. That is an average of 5.43kWh per day. Plus it has been close to 95 degrees most of those days. From my data, that is very low consumption for a 2 ton air conditioner. I will definitely test the draw through the AC500's now. I will isolate the power consumption to only the 24k unit and see if I am getting a different reading from the Bluetti than I am on the Solar AirCon app. I will get back with you on this.

@Braebyrn 2 месяца назад

@JustinsProject 2 месяца назад

The reading on my Bluetti AC500's and the Solar AirCon app are pretty much the same. When the units are off there is no power draw. When on and set to ECO mode and the fan is running but no AC engaged my draw is around 60 watts.

@addison888 2 месяца назад

@JustinsProject interesting. My ecoflow app says 135 watts when the unit is off. But the eg4 app says 0. When the fan is on eg4 says 60 watts. Ecoflow says 145. Maybe ecoflow is wrong.

I would not buy any AC that uses R410. It is an obsolete refrigerant that will soon be as hard to get as R22. There will eventually be leaks and service will be expensive or not obtainable. It is being phased out in 2024. I suspect there will be many "bargain" AC systems dumped on the market because of this. Not to say they are not good units, just that manufacturers must switch to the newer, approved refrigerants and selling off inventory is a must. If you can buy a good, sealed refrigerant system that you want to last and are willing to chance no or very expensive service, then go for it. Mini splits are very prone to leaking because there are joints that are not braised and are therefore going to loosen and leak over time. Good luck.

Why did you not evacuate the unit the line set and the unit inside the valve is right there.

Everything, including the lines, are pre charged. There is no need to pull vacuum on anything with these systems. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻
