Great info, I'm about to install in a home in the next two weeks.
super insightful as I consider getting mini splits
Thanks!
Any idea how many times he said, "you need to be mindful"? 784 times! That's a lot of mindfuls.
Sorry to be so mindful 😔
Informative, some of your recommendations luckily have thought about: you may remember I asked you on your live show about minis in a "tight" house; if I do the mini, it will in a new construction. My thoughts are that I'd have a ducted unit doing the master, master bath, master closet all the stuff on one end of the house; a mini head for the kitchen/family room/breakfast dining area (not sure how many I'll need - hopefully the manual J will tell me), then my thoughts are the smallest units available in each of 3 bedrooms (family members/guests can control room temps for themselves). ....maintenance/cleaning is the one thing that concerns me...
Your concerns for small rooms are certainly valid. We see folks oversize systems, unknowingly all the time in small rooms, expecting an inverter system to ramp down. Problem is that they will still put the system on full blast and never give the inverter a chance to ramp down and work properly. Thank you for your comment!
What is more important during installation: to install the line sets between the evaporator and condenser completely vertical and to place the evaporator on the longer wall in a rectangular bedroom OR to install the line sets diagonally crossing the corner of two walls in order to place the evaporator in the interior of the shorter wall exposed to strong winds and the condenser in the exterior of longer wall protected from strong winds?
It is 3 months to date since I applied to Hydro One for a new line to my house to get a 200 amp panel. The electrician and heat pump installer are ready to go. The upstairs floor unit will be on an outside wall. The downstairs unit will be indirectly on an outside wall. That is it will be on what was an outside wall, but the lines will go into the utility room and then to the outside. The lines will be hidden by the hot water heater. Maybe by winter it will be ready.
I am trying to figure out the location of a mini split for my shop which is adobe. Trying to figure out the location of the nearest circuit breaker to connect it to is a major decision!
Ok I got one for you I have a 27k mr cool system running 2 heads , both units run great in ac mode but when upping the temp to heat mode one head goes into stand by , btw it’s only in auto mode if I put in heat mode manually they both run ok I believe at least when tested they did ???
I have an LG system that is also doing as you describe in Auto. Very annoying and I have yet to find a solution aside from never using auto.
I am assuming this install location is not advisable? 7:50
Can you install a minisplit on the wall to a closet, where the back wall of the closet is the exterior wall. In my case, the lines would be accessible inside the closet. Your thoughts?…
I’ve seen that done. Doesn’t look as nice but it works 🙂
We are in an RV and we want to put the line set on the roof. I want to know if that will be an issue with the drain line. Could we separate them and have the drain go down the side of the rv to the ground while the line set goes up and along the roof. Help 😁
yes. Drain just needs to have have fall to drain
Can the condenser be installed horizontally?
The condenser should always be mounted so the compressor is upright.
How far down on wall off ceiling do you typically mount?
At the 8:00 mark is a diagram describing this. 6 inches from the ceiling and usually 6+ feet from the floor. But each unit will describe this in the manual and there are units for low and high mount locations
There are minimums. But I don’t usually do minimums. Sometimes the space and what looks nice plays a role.
Please advise I have water dropping from my air handler coil, pan and drain line are not blocked. Any suggestions? My ac company can’t figure it out, and are nickel and diming me as if it’s no big deal. Thanks in advance.
Drain running down hill? Drain pan cracked? Where exactly is the water coming from?
@@NewHVACGuide dripping off coil before it gets down to the pan , landing on air filter. Unit is a trane only 2 years old. Thanks for getting back to me.
That’s really weird. They should not be nickel and diming you. They should be trying to get to the bottom of it and not charging any money until they do. Perhaps it’s time to get a second opinion?
@@NewHVACGuide and check this out, the tech told me for $350 he could spray the special spray on the coil. Sure enough I paid it because he had things half torn apart and I wanted to make sure he put it back together correct anyway the $350 special spray worked for a little bit but just the other day I found drops on my air filter again please please help
@@NewHVACGuide thanks I was thinking the same thing, and thanks for all the videos
You missed the outside unit, where is the best place to install it.

I heard a lot of common sense.
can I install the outside condenser under a carport? only 1 side is open in the carport
I've seen it done. Just make sure there's plenty of air flow and clearance. I've heard horror stories.
