Great video and product. I was under the impression that the Mitsubishi air handlers (SVZ models) are powered directly from the outside unit, so that avoids having to run a new circuit to the air handler (at least for installs that do not need heat strips). Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Great content! Question - In Las Vegas, NV would a 5 ton DAIKIN FIT Heat Pump - DH6VS or DH7VS and 115V DFVE Whole House Air Handlers & Coils work? Will it cool during the high Las Vegas temps? Can the 115 V DFVE work with the Daikin DZ9VC heat pump? Or is just better to stick with a split gas system. Thank you.
@@TheHVACDopeShow Thank you. Is there any 5-ton side discharge communicating unit that can cool in the Las Vegas summer heat? Do you sell any 5-ton side discharge heat pumps in Phoenix? The lower cost of side discharge heat pumps is why I'm asking. Keep up the great content.
A 115/120 handler would fix my EV charger issue. My breaker panel is full, and its going to be really effin expensive to upgrade it. But aslo my AC is only 5 years old, and I don't wanna lay down the cash to swap it out either, just to free up a breaker. grr
You’d still need a 2 pole breaker for the condenser / AC heat pump, but your furnace circuit which is replaced by the air handler doesn’t have to be upgraded to a 2 pole. Did you see if an electrician can put in a small sub panel? Might be cheaper
@@TheHVACDopeShow I'm running heat strips anyway, it's not a heat pump. So it would be an all around upgrade. But I could lose the the second 50 amp running the strips and run a new circuit for my car. It's Texas so a heat pump is fine. But alas I'm not going into debt over it. My system works fine and I have a way to charge that isn't perfect.
So is there some new magic that makes defrost cycles not a problem anymore? I’ve had old school heat pumps and the periodic blast of cold during heating season was not welcome when the heat kit died.
It’s mostly settings available. Like on the Daikin fit it can be set to just not blow air at all and go into defrost without blowing cold air. Also if paired with a furnace / dual fuel setup, the furnace or electric heat kit can kick on (as you mentioned) but we’ve found that the inverters are very quiet and reliably able to heat without some of the same issues as older single stage heat pumps.
No just the air handler the condenser is always 208/240v~ in a residential application at least in the USA and what I’m familiar with. The air handler however is normally 208/240 as well that’s why this air handler is unique and advantageous for a furnace replacement
A lot of heat pumps that will produce sufficient Heat down to 0° and below not sure why you're still using dated information My heat pump system is an inverter system and it was producing 132 degrees air temperature coming out of the registers when the temperature outside was a 15° during the winter
Look at the videos where I review capacity charts though, capacity drops at 0F for every heat pump even the best cold climate, plus load on the space increases. You still need backup heat if your climate gets that cold…
Honestly this air handler with a Daikin fit enhanced would work great in that climate for heating and cooling. You don’t get too cold in Portland being close to the coast (stays above 20F~) which is why the fit works great

Correct but they are requiring communication wire between the indoor and outdoor and sometimes it can be pain to install it

Dz9 is the way to go, the Daikin fit 5 ton only has 3 tons capacity at 115F. I’m not sure if the 115V air handler pairs with the DZ9 I’ll ask my rep

Don't forget southern California!
True! This is great for that
I just wish Daikin made a package inverter
Coming out this year I heard!

What would you use in Cleveland ohio/akron ohio?

are both indoor unit and outdoor units 115 volt./ 23 seer how much cfm of air

@@TheHVACDopeShow yes I'm getting 100% of the capacity the full 24,000 BTUs you still need to do some research good luck
Which is best for the Portland, Oregon area?
