Dammit this is the perfect solution to keeping 50 some cats (cat rescue) cool vs the obscene A/C bills I am paying per month now. 400+ dollars. But these are OOS. Oh well looks another 1200 dollars to the scum borough electric for this summer.
How do you set up those screw out outside stabilty legs if you live in an multi floor apartment building?
be careful by blowing with you mouth-florida has a lot snake 🐍- they love go in there in a summer
You are a complete scumbag telling people this could save them $2000 just to get a few bucks off Amazon.
Awww, you sound butt hurt buddy. I wonder why....the vast majority of the comments here are positive, so one must wonder about your motive.
This kind of thing really shits me, it is a scam when your being charged 100+ more times than the parts cost and it couldn't take more than 20 minutes to complete. 150 bucks max should be about right.
We had one of those back in the 70s
The weak point for the mini split is condensation. Mine (in the Texas Hill Country) gets condensation everywhere which becomes mildew on the inside fan blades - everywhere. Cleaning it is a lot of hassle requiring disassembly and taping plastic drainage guides under it to keep the mildewey rinse water from going all over. Can this exterior system be plumbed into a central air system to cool the whole house?
Tell us about this jolt
Nice job bro and super verywell explained- excellent- it’s hard to stop a Trane
Five years ago, I spent $18,000 to replace my two house units. I bought two top of the line 20 seer Lennox units. Biggest mistake of my life! JUNK! I’ve already spent over $5000 in repairs over the last five years. Sure the parts are covered but the labor is brutal. Never buy a LENNOX! You have been warned!!!
Cool video but I CALL CAP! Your solar array does not power that mini split the Duracell generator is doing the work right?
what kind of solar panels would I need to get to power this and where are recommended places to buy the panels? thanks
It’s being paid for your knowledge not the price of the part 🤣🤣🤷🏽♂️
Excellent vid. A shop vac would have been a lot faster.
Love this but one thing, The return is hot, wouldn't you want that wrapped/insulating from the cool line going to the head unit?
Amazing product
How many rooms does it cool? Since it's not attached to any ducts I doubt you'll get adequate cooling in all rooms.
Waste of time.
I think this guy is getting a kick back from the online retailer. DO NOT BUY online unless you can or have a quality person who is willing to install it. Why would a guy or company install products you purchased and paid a markup to another company? Online products are typically sold through out of state distributors, I have heard of local distributors not wanting to handle warranty claims on products they didn’t sell or profit from. Do you blame them? Don’t get hung up on a brand , all manufacturers have low end equipment on up to top tier. Higher end equipment is more complex and will cost more to repair once the warranty is up. Higher end equipment tends to be more about comfort and noise levels. The cost vs savings most of the time won’t pay out over the life of the system. Build a relationship with a responsible contractor who doesn’t gouge their customers and purchase what he recommends, he likely has a good relationship with the distributor who takes care of him and that will benefit you too. I personally don’t care for Trane but there is a reason they don’t sell online. They spent a lot of money building their brand which would get ruined if they let people install it who don’t know what they’re doing. I have worked in the industry for 30+ years and now work for a commercial real estate owner. Lastly put your favorite brand name followed by class action lawsuit in a google search. It saddens me to say one of the nicest pieces of equipment I see today is made by the Chinese and marketed under the name Bosch. Ultimately I have had reasonable performance from every brand it really is about the care and quality workmanship of the installation.
Cool story. It’s all fun and games till someone pops their coil
I had one like that in the late 60's. It was the reverse design though, where the window came down between the units. It was old and made a lot of noise and dripped water in the house (apartment) but it cooled just fine.
This thing sucks compared to the Midea u shaped. I have owned a few Mideas and one of these. My GE lasted 3 months and went to the scrapyard after two failed repairs. It is louder and uses more power than the Midea.
Hi
Hi I’m interested on one of this unit my ac is a Goodman if I GSZ140421KC this is the model number I’m assuming is a 3.5 ton or is 4 ton
I use a megger at work for large 3-phase motors but didnt think of using one to test a compressors health. Thanks for for the tip and being honest with people who typically get scammed for not having knowledge in something like this!
I love Diy people they make me more money. Cuz i have to fix their mistakes too.
Unfortunately, most of them (HVAC techs, Plumbers, and Electricians) are scam artists.
Had a relative that had her A/C go out in the peak of summer and couldnt wait for me to check it out so called some place that adverised a $99 maintenance special. The so-called tech went into her attic with no tools or test equipment and told her that the blower motor was bad and he just happened to have that "hard to get" part on his truck and he could give it to her for $800! She called me and I told her to send the guy on his way and wait for me to look at it. I brought my tools and meter and determined it was the capacitor. I got her one at a supply house for $7, put it in and she was back up and running! Unfortunately there is a large percentage of dishonest "techs" with no integrity!
HVAc companies bread and butter are maintenance contracts
i'm licensed and have 35 years of sevice you want a honest veiw all brands have made crap at one point
i sevice what i sell and if they by the equipment the warranty is their problem stop filling people full of crap
has it been out enugh for numbers of if worth initial cost? and dont think meany could afford the starting cost i would assume. id imagine this would work good places like texas florida mexico eta anywhere with lots sun, althugh heard solor not too great in lesser sunny areas, obviusly lol.
Got to admit this is impressive and tempting, Would drilling through brick pose any different problem?
Word of advice, if you have a plastic drain valve on your water heater and its over 6 years old be prepared for it to never close up again and leak all over if you open it. Best to drain the heater down and replace the valve with a brass one to be able to do these flushes regularly. A lot of times those plastic valves will either not close fully or leak from behind. Never had a brass one leak from behind, and if it does leak a little you can cap them off easily.
Wish you would have mentioned at the start that the solar panels are not included.
Snitch lol
That capacitor you’re using is a cheap Chinese knockoff. No wonder it cost $10. Let me guess… Amazon. lol As a professional you should be using a good quality American made capacitor. If a home owner wants to go that route, that’s ok it’ll get them by but they don’t hold up as well over time. I will agree that there are a lot of companies out there that do over charge for them and everything else they sell. And unfortunately many of them even use the cheap one you do on top of it.
I used the same megohmeter for many years. Used it on motors as well as compressors. Always worked.
I really like that tank setup. Me and my wife are buying our first home out in the middle of nowhere. I think I'll be watching all these videos. For sure, help won't be but a couple hours away, lol. DIY to the rescue!
Where you can buy ?
It's all just parts, replace as needed.
Not in australia governments make u pay to renew every licence under the free sun. They need the money to support wars around the world that have nothing to do with them. But they can just make up money into so called debt so I think the renew system is just to piss off workers more.
I would prefer creating a solar system, then connect that plug to an outlet off the batteries
That would require an inverter and a controller with the inverter already in the unit.
Someone did, I believe it was Electrohome. I had a model in the late 1980s that was probably made in the early 1970s. It featured push button controls. It also had two separate fans because of its unusual design. The unit you're looking at is very similar to, and perhaps made by Midea..
I changed a capacitor once. Very easy to do. My bad capacitor was swollen, like a bad can of soda, so it wasn't even necessary to use a multimeter.
What contractors would you recommend in the Las Vegas area?
Thank you from Oklahoma!
When mine failed I called for service. While I was waiting I checked power and breakers and finally the capacitor. When the tech pulled up I told him it was the capacitor. He poked and prodded and of course dismissed what I said. Fifteen minutes later he announced, “I think it’s the capacitor!”. He then charged me around $850. I wrote an email to the company stating that since the cap only costs around $20 I can’t see you marking it up more than to say $50. Based on that, I calculated their labor rate to be $3200/hour. So, I said, “my question was is, are you hiring?” The next morning they called to tell me “oops. It’s under warranty and there is no charge “. So not only were they going to scam me for the cap, they were going to double bill the manufacturer!
Hey dude, you rock! I paid $300 bucks! I did not know it was available on Amazon... Thanks...
I always have a spare on hand. Buy it now, not when kids are crying and it's hot af
