Not to sound rude by why could this not be done as a DIY? I want to install a Daikin mini split in my garage and from all the videos including yours, it just seems like you need to follow the proper steps for installation. I don't see any point that makes me wonder that I couldn't do it. I want to stay far away from a mr.cool system and it was between Mitsubishi or Daikin and I honestly feel like I like Daikin better. I want to do this myself because our HVAC people quoted me $8k to install one in my garage which I think is insane considering we are spending $10k for a Trane AC/Furnace for the house. I can't understand how a mini split is almost the cost of an entire house HVAC system... Unless they are quoting me that price because they don't really want to do it.
reported for installing a unit without a license. sorry
@@LolEYEHasFun who cares.. Lol
I'm still going to install one in my garage, ROFl
And by the way you do not need a license to install one FYI.
Fastest replacement ever
Nice job. Thanks for sharing
Nice job Nighthawk!
Good video! Line set straight out is much easier....wonder why they didn't do that in the first place??. Good job
I agree. Way easier. Especially if you’re looking for leaks.
Great job and video. ✌
👏 great job.
Very nice. Did you notice if the head unit was shipped under pressure with nitro?
The head is not shipped under pressure.
If I was gonna reuse the line set I would have reflared new nuts too but I would have put some line flush in there too to take out all of the black nastiness from the lines but that’s just me , never know how much comp oil and schmegma is in the old lines 🤠
I agree. I re-flared both ends and used the new nuts. I only filmed myself re-flaring the outdoor connections. I blew out the lines with nitrogen. I didn't use flush but the lines were pretty clean. On the inside at least. Thanks for watching!
hi,,, did you open the valves while the micron gauge was still in the system??? if so,, does that ruin the gauge?
cool install...
I have a high pressure capable micron gauge. If I remove it while the system is under vacuum. I risk letting air in the system.
@@NighthawkHVAC got it.... thanks for the reply...
What I do I use two valve core remove tool to be able to remove my fieldpiece MG44. I prevent put pressure on mine.
I love this trade and you are a great technician. Keep it up
You could make a new hole and lower it bro. The compressor probably took a sht likely because there wasn’t enough air flow….. so much for the new system too 😕
Model? (Of the unit that had it’s charge recovered)
Do not DIY?.... Who is the intended audience? Do hvac installers go home after a hard days work to watch others install minisplits? 😂 Joking but curious..
My videos are intended for HVAC techs and people that are familiar with HVAC systems. I actually do watch install videos after work. I guess I'm just a HVAC nerd!
@@NighthawkHVAC i’m not an hvac master but i’ve been a refrigeration tech and contractor for 20 years and i enjoy watching videos and installing and servicing mini splits ☺️
I just diy'd 3 of them. All you need is basic electrical and plumbing knowledge, some common sense and the right tools. The tools are expensive, probably all in about $900 which includes a 2 stage vacuum pump, nitrogen tank, digital pressure and vacuum gauges, 2 core removers/isolators and a torque wrench. I’m probably doing a better job because I have 24 hours to wait for a pressure test and have time to do a triple evaluation. I also saved about $14,000 by doing in myself. Permit and inspection were another $200
