After my friend's family let me stay in their home for two months (rent free) I installed an AirCon unit. Here's how it went.
Ah, that makes sense. Was wondering while watching. Nice of you. You won't in this case but what is nice about these units is that it is also easy to remove and you leave very little trace of it having been there.
I thought the air conditioner was were you reside. I can't they were working with live wires. I personally would go to the circuit breaker box and cut off the electricity. Were they purchased the unit, was it similar to Amazon like in the United States?
This was one of the most interesting video I’ve seen on this channel. More of these plz.
Try using it on dry mode. 💦 On the remote. It's the best way to run a AC in a humid country. It cools the room without putting extra moisture in the room as the standard cooling setting does.
Thanks for the tip!
They even vacuumed the lines!!!!
Thanks Rob for making my Sunday Keep being safe We are coming out of lock down on the second of June here in Canada Going to get vaccinated on Wednesday
I was quite fascinated by the entire process. Thanks for sharing this unique experience.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a good way to say thank you to your friends for allowing you to stay there for a couple of months rent free, by leaving behind a nice new aircon when you do go back to Phuket. And finally keeping you cool in the meantime. But then again I think you are pretty cool yourself in your videos , hope to meet you one day when I finally can get back to Phuket ( maybe by Nov. - Dec when I have booked to return ) , no more quarantine.
Seeing those sparks fly when he was twisting the wires together freaked me out. Plus, Thailand has 220 volts, not 110 like here in Canada. Extra jolt for your buck!
but yet the govt is terrified of covid. that blows my mind even more than watching sparky working
Circuit is very likely protected by an RCD main circuit breaker (called a GFCI in the US) they don't have these in the US, once it hits 30 mA of leakage it trips, so likely not really that dangerous. But it will turn the whole building off when it trips.
@@HansCSchellenberg sure, ok. you can trust that old buidings circuit breakers. not me
I Bought and had installed that exact same 12,000 BTU TCL unit as a gift to a friend. I purchased it at Thai Watsidu for B8900 and had it installed by their installers for B2000 + B500 to haul an old dead unit away so just about the same cost as yours.
That was 3 months ago and so far, so good. Quiet and fast cooling, economical as well. She has a 35 sq/m studio and since she works most days, it only operates at night. She pays the B5 government electric rate and so far, for Feb., March & Apr. has never had a bill over B900. Not bad for a 12,000 BTU unit. I have developed respect for TCL products. Yes: Chinese and Yes: cheap but they manage to produce quality products from my experience with them.
I got you beat, I had 2 minisplit's installed where I am staying in Phu Wiang :) The things we farangs will do to escape the heat and humidity...
Hello Rob I guess he felt comfortable not turning off the power till it bites him one day 😅 Wishing you and everyone there well Take Care
Depends, maybe not connected the other end. But if any brains exist it's not always necessary for a dead wire.
Interesting to see, thanks Rob,
Welcome
I was wondering how long it would be before you gave up on your ‘cheap ice pack cooler’
Hey Rob, we put an air conditioner in yesterday, our second one. I put one in my master bedroom on the second floor last fall and I use it all the time. We were originally gonna put this one in my friends bedroom on the 3rd floor but he spends more time on the first floor because that's where the big screen tv Is so we decided to put it there. 555
It does make a lot more sense to have it on the first floor because thats where the kitchen and dining rooms are and the living room too. It makes a lot more sense.
Yeah, everything available on Lazada. They even sell house online. I wondered how's it differed from those properties online sites. New system does not need the starter unit just plug into an ac outlet.
Amazing..this is what my son does for a living in BKK
It seems like you're really settling in there and not heading back to Phuket anytime soon.
No, I have to go back to Phuket.
Wow that is really quick Rob here the Philippines 🇵🇭 half a day get it done minus the waiting day of the installer tech availability before they can install your aircon stay safe and take care
You’ll sleep good tonight with air conditioning, Rob you gonna keep that place also, probably not a bad idea since rent is very reasonable
Kind gestures for the rent-free room. Way to go Rob!
Thanks Rob,now you can stay cool while having a Leo !
That put the price of that apartment up when you leave.
Great way to turn an everyday event into content!
Ok Robb, there is something else going on here if you’re buying and installing an a conditioner???🤔 555 😆
Your right you not mechanical, that was a vacuum pump not a compressor they used to evacuate the AC system to fill the freon.
This pad looks ready now for Jessica Rabbit
Rubber flip flops on the 4th floor, no need turn off power.
Less than $400 USD, thats a great deal! Here would be about 3-4 thousand after installation.
Concerns me. There seems to be sparks when he joins to the live wire. There shouldn't be unless there is a path to neutral or earth somewhere. Perhaps he had the unit switched on which would explain the sparks, but if not then there is something to be concerned about regarding leakage currents on the newly connected wire. Nothing is illegal in Thailand unless the only two rules are broken of not pissing someone off or not being around a person of authority who needs lunch money at that time.
Seems like a cheap price for comfort 👍👍⁉️🇹🇭
Did the conversion on 11000 baht to USD. Wow! I'd do it too! 26 degrees and dehumidified must have felt great!
Speechless.
they are not professional electricians either Rob ...sparks to ya
Not bad commentery as per and as they installed your air-conditioning. Looks like a reasonable job, how did it work, not bad for a days work
Cheap price because they save on wire connectors.
That’s what I love about Thailand....can do attitude ....do it now 👍
No complaints....and get on with it.
This is one of the big ticks ✔️ I give about their attitude (most of the time😂)
You wouldn’t really know though 😁 (unless you speak Thai). Ignorance is bliss, so it goes.
What an adventure....drilling the cables..... with 230V on it....... they are working the same way they are driving car..... dangerous ....
Man, that's cheap. It would be 8 times that in Canada. It takes me a day to do it here but I work by myself.
No more sticky nuts...❤️
The electricity will only bite if you complete the circuit by doing something like stand on an aluminium ladder in bare feet....
Oh wait.... :O
Asian ways of doing wiring without switching off the Mains. Thats risky. Excellent video.
Very cool thing you did there, Rob, well done ;-)
Cheers Rob... Good information to have.. Fair play to yea.. Stay cool and injoy your Leo.. 👍👍
Lazada is great. Sometimes there are even better prices on Powerbuy.
How much is your rent is it just that room and you keep the fridge and water outside your room. How much?
Why would you pick a dump in the middle of nakon nowhere without AC in the first place? Guess you are.planning on staying there a while
See my posted comment.
@@ThailandRob makes sense now 😂😀😆
I guess it's OK to play with a live wire. Look at guys playing with Crocodiles. Putting their heads in their jaws.
At 230V you'd think they would have cut the juice. Crazy.
Cheers
First thing you need to do is: Not Use WU to send money...they charge insane levels of fees...Not gonna mention what I use but Western Union...Never Again!!! Other than that..Love your vids Robert :) Keep them coming:)
I had one installed in my bedroom in Sydney a year ago, it should have been simple - ended up taking 3 of them 5 hours. A purchase I regret. Cost 2k
And Rob never left his unit again.
Great job
What----No city electrical inspector to approve that your installation meets the Building Code?
Shocking!
Later on neighbors complain to landlord.
Landlord evict you on grounds of noise damage to property. Yet turns around and rent it for higher price. Sense now having an AC. (Just being sarcastic.)
Have you met Alina Mcleod ? She is in Phuket right now and doing the same thing you are. She is on youtube.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow thats not bad
So you got proper air-conditioning now?
Hi Rob....
Very interesting install...
But my question is...
What's happened to the cement mixer cooler ...?...hehe
The mom took it from me lol
Brilliant use of recycling....
I bet you will sleep better now..lol
Yup
is it 8 or 12 BTU ?
12
When I was an electrician we only turn the power off when absolutely necessary. This is because we do not want to inconvenience the customer with no electricity.
I don’t know where you from. This procedure would be illegal in all or most western countries. The power gotta be turned off as soon as anybody works with the wires.
@@Goaltimer Western countries suck. Too many regulations.
@@Goaltimer We do it here also, especially in government buildings as they do not want the power off unless absolutely necessary...
Thai men are definitely related to McGyver.
let's go 👍thumb up👍 it free don't be shy it are friend Rob pleasssssss
aka Thailand Noobie. Did you know 27% of deaths caused by electricity in Thailand. (Deaths Assimilated to Work)
And the rest is on the trip to or back from work 😁😂😜?
What are you afraid of lol its only electricity it only hurts when you touch the live one and your not grounded. Ive seen worse done by better trained men and they have lived to tell the tale lmao. Self included when you tell them what you did to get it to work they usually scratch their heads and tell you thats not possible either but your there to tell the tale. Gotta love the industry your in when you tell them these things and watch them try it to see if your telling them the truth lmao.
$350 pretty inexpensive for an aircon
Where do see one for less?
@@ThailandRob I said it was cheap...(inexpensive) not a complaint..a small window unit you have to install yourself here in the states cost more
