Fantastic video! Easy to follow step by step for first timers. Especially the vacuum lines and release freon steps. Thank you for sharing 🙏
@@kimberlygabbard-mannor3124 we’re happy it was helpful
Best video on how to set this up by far! Great work!
Glad it was helpful
Good video…love the views of both sides. Easiest video to understand from all I’ve watched. From what I know you aren’t supposed to crank down really tight on the flare fitting because you will crack them. This is true for the vacuum pump too because there is a plastic o ring that gets hyper compressed and ruined if tightened too much.
Also the coils need to be coiled horizontally as to not allow a build up of oil in the loops.
Great vid
Glad it was helpful, the oil trap has been disproved by engineers, I don’t have the link available now but I will look for it. We coil the excess lines vertically with no issues.
@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse Awesome! Thanks for the update!
Awesome video. I talked to Maegan on phone and she walked me through on setting the remote control and converting the Celsius to Fahrenheit in a couple of easy steps she was very professional and I would advice anyone to call their supply house for any questions. Highly Recommendations. Thanks Maegan!
We’re always here to help 🙂
I need help with my confortotal 220V power install@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse
awesome i just went and check your store going to order two from you soon
Awesome! Thanks for checking us out! We’ll see you soon, we offer Free Delivery when you’re ready and know what you need let us know and we’ll bring it to you!
It would be nice if you would do a video on the proper settings on your remote for best economic use and saving on electric bill. Justin enjoyed your video. Now do one on the remote settings. 😊😍😎
Do not use auto, it is best to run on the mode you desire the fan setting you like. These are minimum seer systems. When you are shopping for efficiency, certified inverter equipment will save you 2x as much as these
Excellent video. Thanks. Only one question, for clarification.... did you start the unit BEFORE you released the refrigerant? Wouldn't that build up an awful amount of head pressure in it, or is this a more-sophisticated compressor than the old 1990s dinosaurs using R22 that I've monkeyed with in the past?
We do make sure they power up before we release the refrigerant into the system, you can call Dustin 480-338-6197 for a better explanation on why we do this 🙂
@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse I did just that earlier this evening, and Dustin did an excellent job of describing his process and reasoning for it. I'll be doing it that way when my adapter shows up and I can evacuate the lines and evaporator!
Sure wish I'd come across this vid before making my purchase, it'd've definitely been made through y'all if at all possible!
Great video!👍
Thank you!
Is there a way to run the electrical all outside with a disconnect box? Or do you have to have a wire falling down from the inside unit and use an outlet? Thanks.
You can extend the power cord and run it out with the linesets into a disconnect
Great Video! I am considering installing one of these in an RV. I was trying to see on the video, is it possible to run the lines and drain tube out the side of the head unit instead of the back as long as the drain tube is at an downward angle? I would like to run the lines inside the coach and out through the floor to the compressor which would be mounted on a stand in front of the trailer. The lines would run under the trailer and thus not seen until they come up to the compressor.
Yes you can I’m trying to share a picture but it only wants to let me upload a video you’re welcome to text me and I can send you some photos 573-410-2769
These kits come with 12’ lines
Hello, this video was made July 2022 we’ve learned a lot since then, pulling a vacuum like this is not a true leak test! We do require our customers follow this step to clear the indoor unit and lines of any air, moisture, potential contaminants that can affect the outdoor unit. You can always reach out if you have additional questions 480-338-6197 Dustin

This was amazing

Do you have any videos on the comfortotal 220v installation?
We do not the install process is the same for all Confortotal unless you have a F MODEL 24000 those are designed to have outdoor power
480-388-6197 Dustin for tech support
Hey buddy did you ever find out about how to install the 220V outdoor power? I just can't get anybody to do them
I need your help
thank you
You're welcome!
I have the same unit that came with the house I bought.. but my question is does this unit generate heat on winter time ??
@@gonzalezprestige1498 it is not to be relied on for heat but yes they can produce heat they will lose their output the colder it gets and some units will have trouble defrosting depending on the sq ft it’s in.
Thinking about purchasing two of these and wondering what outside temp will it work down to in winter weather and still heat inside? Thanks
We’ve found they will still produce heat at negative temperatures, they lose their BTU output the colder it gets so we size for the heat load at cold temps not the AC
Could you tell me how to move the vent from left to right. I can make it go up and down.
@@venvnco6259 you can only move them manually if they are able to moved at all
So this unit gets power from a plug indoors instead of outdoors? Is that the case for the NG too?
The Confortotal is indoor only the NG is not like that, it is opposite power at the compressor only via disconnect
I tried to call Dustin at the number provided, not sure what region you’re in but I live in Missouri just needed to clarify a question on a 220v system. The units that have the plug that come out of the air handler (same as yours in the video but 220v), is this plug where it gets all of the high voltage main power from?
@@bonestock3238 it should be, some models are different 573-410-2769
Just curious why would you fire unit up before releasing the Freon wouldn’t think that would be good on compressor to pump with service valves closed.
It is a procedure we follow, if your unit for some reason would not power on and you had released the refrigerant the system would most likely need to be recharged once the issue was resolved.
Nice video, How can I contact you? Do you ship?
Yes we do 573-410-2769
Minisplitsupplyhouse.com is for a warranty direct by us. I currently have them marked sold out but we can get you what you need if you’d like us to warranty parts and compressor for 2 years
Do you have a unit that I can plug into the inside outlet that has a longer line set? I would like to do a second floor installation.
Hi Casey all Confortotal come with 12’ Lineset kits, when you need longer lines we recommend getting them from a supply house. The units are Precharged up to 25’ if you plan to go longer it is most likely you’ll need it charged for the added length for optimal performance.
@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse Can you recommend a place for me to order a 30 ft line?
Do you know how many seers is this unit?
12/13 SEER All systems imported from Mexico that use indoor power only are low seer systems
I washed a mini split coil where the homeowner had run the equipment when a renovation had takennplace. What a nightmare.
We always discourage installing before the space is complete! The horrors we’ve seen from careless installs or people not understanding the equipment the way we’ve dedicated ourselves to is haunting 😥
Well this sucks. My unit has the flexible drain tube on the opposite side of the lineset. Is that a manufacturing defect? Leaking on the inside like a sunova. Not sure how to even try to fix this now that everything is hooked up. Are there possible two outlets on the drain pan and I can open this up and move the drain hose over to the other side where everything else runs out directly?
I figured it out if anyone is interested. Pretty obvious albeit annoying solution. Once I got the cover off I could tell the easiest solution is to just drill a small hole through the other side and route the drain pipe into some pvc mounted to the wall. Easy enough to cut the flex drain tubing and have enough length to make it into the pvc pipe.
There are some models that it comes on the opposite side but we do not offer those models.
Glad you got a solution, gotta get creative with Confortotal sometimes
@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse Yeah, I'm happy with the unit and I chalk it up to inexperience. It would have been obvious to someone who has installed HVAC stuff before. Your video was extremely helpful by the way.
Is this unit powered inside through the header (wall plug)? Sorry, looking for an option where I have a full circuit breaker already.
Yes it is, no exterior power is needed. We have higher efficiency units available that require the disconnect at the outdoor only
minisplitsupplyhouse.com/collections/ngtrade-mini-splits
The entire system, head unit and compressor is powered by the inside 120 V wire?
Yes
Where's the fuse located?
No fuse. IT is a 110 volt plug in unit. Inside handler plugs into wall outlet and provides power to outside compressor.
David is right! If your local codes require a disconnect you can feed the power cord out with the Lineset and wire it that way
I have a confortotal that won’t cool was freezing and another one that blows cool but not cold. Been trying to get the contractor that installed them to come out for months. Would you say it’s probably Freon leak
Yes that’s been our experience. 9 times out of 10 it is a Freon leak with the issues you’ve mentioned. what state are you located in?
Is there a template for locating the hole positions.
For these there is not that’s why Dustin measures starting at 1:46 in the video
One thing I missed or it wasn't shown in your video your head unit had a power cord attached? Did you attach that, or did it come with that? Now I am confused, I just bought an Everwell mini split (very similar to the one in your video) and the electrical cover on the condenser has two holes in for power/signal cables, so I was assuming that I had to have an electrician to hook me up some outside power for the condenser unit. It is a 110v system, the handbook that came with it is worthless, that is why I have been watching so many you tube videos. Can someone help with this? Thanks.
Hi Ernest, I’m glad you found us. This unit comes with the power cord from the air handler that’s why people call them “DIY”
Your Everwell most likely needs power at the compressor - Megan Mini Split Supply 573-410-2769
@@MiniSplitSupplyHouse Hi Megan, thanks so much for help.
Does anyone have that brackets (inside one) dimensions or an install template?
These kits do not come with an indoor template that’s why we measure to get the accurate placement for the hole
I (Megan) will see about getting the dimensions for you
This is an invalid training video. It doesn't show pressure test prior to vacuum. Sustaining vacuum does not guarantee a tiny leak is not present.
You’re right, we made a comment clarifying that this is not a true leak test, this is a good enough vacuum to clear the lines for us to guarantee your warranty when you shop direct with us 🙂
I have a question... I installed one in my house and I followed all the steps in the manual and the video as well and my compressor only turned on for a few minutes and the fan only turned on when I put it in fan mode. Do you know why is that happening
There could be many reasons
What is the temperature set at, try turning it all the way down in AC mode and letting it run
If it is at temp it will not think it needs to kick on
This 110V confortotal systems is designed to be wired to a quick disconnect outside by the compressor, right? I noticed you used a plug-in cord that looked like it was connected to the head unit. I don't want that I just need to make sure that is not how this system works before I buy it.
It is not designed to wire into a disconnect, it’s only power source is that gray extension from the air handler that’s why these are considered “DIY”
