110v and 220v will use the same power and thus your electric bill will be the exact same for both voltages. The difference is you are sharing voltage on two conductors instead of all on one. So 7amps on line 1 and 7amps on line 2 = 14amps for a 220v. Or 14amps on 110v. You get charged the same. 220 will usually be more efficient due to power losses in wire so 220 is the way to go if Possible.

@DonBarthel

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are right, the power is the same even if the amperage is double for the 120 volt. And you are paying for power. The losses in the wire are negligible if you have properly rated or over rated (i.e. larger gauge) wire. From my point of view, the only benefit to 240 volt is that you don't need as beefy a wire, since the thickness of wire is specified by amperage. The downsides to 240 volt is that you need two breaker slots in your panel instead of one, and the breaker is a bit more expensive since it's a double wide.

@24vignettes94

Жыл бұрын

You're kind of right, Luke. If you measure current on the neutral wire in the 120V, you will have 14A and 0 volts. A better way of looking at it is P=I*E. Voltage drop isn't as big an issue since these types of units do not create huge inrush current and most of the 120V rated units are small with a relatively low current draw.

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) kzread.infoUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

So glad I watched this video. Installing a cassette in a ceiling/attic with possible blowback. The suggestion to block off vents will be considered after testing. Thanks!

The 220V version is a little more efficient than the 110V version, however the 110V version will not cost twice as much. The 110V version uses twice the amperage at half the voltage. Watts = Volts x Amps, so the wattage usage is mostly the same. Your power bill is charged by the kilowatt hour, not the amp hour. That being said I also prefer the 220V version when possible.

@YWAM_Merida

you are correct in that because your pay for KW the difference in amp would not make much difference, but you can only buy 120V up to 1 ton or 12,000 btus

where the 110 version come in handy is if someone is replacing an old loud unit in an RV or camper, this is becoming a great option. not common practice yet but a few manufacturers are starting to put in as an upgrade

Great. Idea. Which one would you recommend, the cassettes or wall mount? What’s the cleaning service cost for both? Warranty’s are important for customers. Lastly, what systems is better or recommend, Daikin or Mitsubishi & which one has the better warranty? Thank you.

I have a ranch and went with 2 12,000 btu 110 wall units 2 years ago. I have one at the end of my hallway (takes care of all the bedrooms and main part of the house and one in the living room). My first floor is fairly open and these 2 units work fantastic! I can even leave my 3 season room open most of the time unless it gets above 90 out. With the 3 season room closed I can keep the house around 70 even when it's 100 out!

Thanks for the video, I was considering a cassette in my hallway near the openings of my 3 bedrooms, I can understand why you wouldn’t recommend, but if it was placed in the doorways do you still think it would be a bad idea if the intention was to keep all the doors open while running to try to cool essentially my entire upstairs?

I have a 25' x 30' fully insulated new all metal shop. 12' exterior walls and a 17' height ridge. No ceiling, just an insulated roof. Right now, 2 small 5,000 btu window units are keeping it cool, and a pedestal shop fan to move air around. However, I'm in Texas and it gets over 100* in the summer, and the 2 small window units struggle to keep it cool. So what size wall mount mini split do I need? I have 110 and 220 available, but every dollar I spend on my shop is one less dollar I can spend on my 56 Chevy I am restoring! ;) Thanks for your help!

It’s in Minnesota by a lake so it gets -30 degrees here and summer 110 with 80% humidity. I’m not sure which one to do. I’m very low budget being single and doing this myself. The walls are already up and I’m not sure how to do or which one to do.

attic access is mute. if done right first. as there is no reason to ever mess with it. unless it just flat out fails. i would like to go this route on my house, 4 ceiling regulators. (two bed rooms on the hot side of the house, two in the front of the house, living room, dinning room, kitchen, no walls here). room to work up top. draining is also not a problem. might not even need the pumps? each regulate would be within 7 foot of a open drain. less if in a wall. all pending how built. and then just insulate best to prevent sweating. no mater your location. worse case a simple air water pump. from a aquarium shop. they are quite, last dozens of years, cheap to operate. biggest problem with any drain is fungus, mold, plant growth. plugging up the drain.

Cassettes will also fit in between 2 foot on center joist. Cassettes also use a radial fan which needs no cleaning as compared to a long squirrel cage and is much quieter. We always use a double flare like you would use on your brakes especially when using the preinsulated line sets as they are only half the thickness of Type L tubing. The 120 units only go to 12k but if we are in a gas home with no other 240 appliances we will offer the 120 to keep the cost of the generator down. Once you step up to a 240 inverter generator you double the price and if all you need is 1 small mini split it is worth staying with 120 volt. Good video thanks.

One issue I see with the ceiling cassette in an RV is the depth of the ceiling. Unless you recess it down a bit. You would then need to retrofit some type of cover or trim around it. Lines could run up through the room then off the back or front. There is a 12V system out there for RVs, one I seen has the outdoor unit, installed under the RV.

Is a mini split cheaper comparison to a traditional hvac in terms of electricity bills?

Between the two of these options, which one would you choose for a rental property? I am not as concerned about the cost difference as I am about neglectful tenants. Would the ceiling cassette option operate longer without maintenance than the wall-mounted? As a landlord, I would try to schedule yearly or bi-yearly maintenance visits to ensure the AC is clean and working correctly, but I cannot depend on a tenant to do any of this maintenance.

You definitely slept through class when Ohm's law was taught. There is zero net savings in power consumption between 220VAC and 120VAC. 220VAC is actually 2 legs of 120VAC each. Sales people and shady manufacturers will lie about savings and power consumption by putting a DMM clamp type ammeter on a 220VAC wire and then a 120VAC wire and the 220VAC wire will show half the amps compared to the 120VAC wire. They never change the clamp meter to show the current draw is on the second leg of a 220VAC system because a savvy student would chime in and point out that Ohm's Law says in a circuit of same voltages on each leg, current in parallel legs are equal but additive when calculating total Power consumption of the whole circuit. PS: That gravity drain does not necessarily need a noisy high maintenance pump and reservoir if you drain it to a rain catchment system whose tank top is lower than the wall unit.

I don't want to put a 4-way cassette in the middle of the bedroom because that's where my ceiling fan is located. Do they make 3-ways that I can locate off to one side, or do I have the option of modifying a 4-way to do the same?

Question. Can you install a cassette ceiling mount on a sloped ceiling. It's probably a 30 degree slope. I don't see why you wouldn't be able to but just curious about your thoughts.

No it has to be flat There's a drain pan inside that holds water And if the pan is tilted it'll drip out of the pan

Are cassettes small enough for a 8x10 bathroom? Also i have oil heat steam , is it worth it to switch to heat pump? Located in md

No but the one way cassettes maybe

Would you recommend a roof mounted cassette or cassettes for a food truck/trailer? I’m building a wood fire pizza food trailer for use in Florida. Enclosed space is 15’ x 8’ and 9’ high. I like the idea of a roof mount so I have more wall space for shelving. Power is not an issue, it’ll be plugged in to shore power and stay put all the time. I trust your knowledge and experience, I’d be grateful for any advice you can share. Thank you

Depends on if you have an upspace it can't be mounted outside if you know what I mean.

Thanks for getting back to me, you weren’t lying, you really do respond to all the comments. I’ve seen a cassette installed where they constructed a metal cover over the top to protect it. If this was your call, would you do a wall mount over the cassette with a metal cover? Also what size would you suggest for a 120 square foot (9’ tall) food truck?

Great info. I have a flat roof above my ceiling, are there any issues? I assume there are more than 22" between ceiling studs, so ceiling min split fits in without removing support studs. Loos like best location would be in center of room. I also have an adjoining room (kitchen) where I could use a 2nd split. Both can run off one outside unit? Thanks

Have you ever put a ceiling cassette in a hallway between 3 rooms in a 1200 sq ft ranch? Currently there is a 18k cool only unit at one end of the house and does a good job at cooling the whole house. Looking to get a little better performance.

3 of the veins would be blowing into bedrooms and the forth back into the main living are. Would that be enough air movement to cover the bedrooms they are 200 sq ft each

Great information. We have two spaces in a 400 sqft pool house we need to cool and heat (Rio Rancho, New Mexico). Your product suggestions for small size 2 zone cassette mount would be great.

Hoping to cool my 850 sq ft garage with a mini split of some kind. The in ceiling unit would be better for my application. It is a regular house though, not a drop ceiling. What ceiling mount units might be good for my garage?

When I look at the square foot per BTU chart, does the volume play a part? I am looking to install a heat pump into my metal garage building (one big room) which is 24' x 35'.. it is 870square feet, but it is 14' high instead of the normal 9 or 10 feet tall. How does this affect the measurement in square feet then? Thanks if you can help me.. I am really enjoying your videos..

Can you help with installation of 220v system in an Rv? I’ve seen it done before. I was thinking of duct system to tie into the existing in basement. Or these cassette units and reframe the existing Rv acs in the roof. They have done also in some high end models.

Local dealer only offer 1 year warranty after that your on your own with the manufacturer..

Absolutely Check out my video titled mini split projects

Great video. I am in the planning stages of a mini split install for next year. I want to get rid of my window units. I have a couple of questions, can you mix wall units and ceiling units on a multi zone system? Do you need a handler in every room? My upper level is about 700 sq ft, 3 bedrooms that share a short hallway. It would not be practical (and expensive) to put a handler in all 3 bedrooms. I am thinking a 12k handler in the large bedroom. Maybe fans for air flow?
