You advertise that it's diy but if you dig... you also say the warranty is voided if a licensed tech doesn't do the install. Kind of tricky.

at the 6 min mark you are giving #'s relative to each unit. I'll suggest you could overlay a table graphic displaying the info as you speak it. It would register in the brain stronger.

I finally got my EG4 9k DIY mini-split installed in my shed and it works fantastic. It's a nice wood framed shed with windows and insulation, etc. and the mini-split can get the temp down to the low 60's even in 90 degree weather. The efficiency of the 9k is almost unbelievable, and it's incredibly quiet.

I got the EG4 Hybrid Solar Mini-Split Kit Air Conditioner Heat Pump AC/DC| 24000 BTU It was a simple setup, also works well. When I installed my system, turned it on to check it and I had to look at the lights to make sure it was working (It was so quiet. ) within a few seconds it was ice cold coming out of the unit. Im very happy with my purchase! Install was simple. Hardest part was figuring out where to put my solar panels.

I just installed one, works in concert with my central AC. It cut my electric bill by more than half in the past two hot months. Looking into getting more solar panels and adding batteries to power it and possibly a DC electric water heater 24/7.

Does the EG4 Mini Split sit level, are is it lower on on side? I used there bracket that has a level on it and backed it up with 2ft. level they both are dead on. But unit is a 1/4 in. lower on one side. is this for some sort of drain? I'm talking about the outside unit!

[antonioescutia]

What about solar panel amp rating is this a issue?

[josephnelson]

People want different styles-ceiling cassettes for multiple zones, hidden consoles, floor or ceiling mounted consoles, and HIGHER BTU solar systems

[LarryKapp]

I installed solar unit and it works good. I am wondering where the inside unit is sensing the room temperature because it always seems to cool the room much cooler than the unit temperature setting. Does it sense temperature from remote - or from a sensor on the wall hung inside fan unit ?

[CSJ-CSV]

Why wouldn't the Condensate Drain line be attached to the LineSet side pre-shipping? and have the 2nd way plugged but there if needed?

[cebuckh]

Is it possible to run the hybrid units off of DC only? Edit: I should have said straight from a battery bank. lol

[coreygillum]

I just installed the 12k mini in my off grid cabin. It is very easy, and I am impressed with the performance. The only thing I am wanting is a tutorial of the remote, and how to get the most out of its features.

[keithkelly]

Hi Kelly my name is Keith I have a eg4 mini split I installed it and turn everything on but my solar is not working am I doing something wrong

[mateopena]

fundamental question for me because my mounting template for placing my bracket is a level, I measured the bracket again and the bracket is not level is there a reason for that? #There is a loose connector gray cable and white connector where that connector connects thank

[ibenglish]

Are the prices on these mini splits and EG4 inverters going to be affected by the tariffs? Or are we mainly looking at solar panels?

[LordAncien]

do you send the solar one to Puerto Rico?

[curtisramsey]

Do you sell 2, and 3 zone mini splits?

[walkingconifer]

Could you make one improvement to the solar mini split? Let the mini split send out extra power to charge a 96v battery system. The system will prioritize solar array input, but when solar input is not available, draw power from the 96v battery bank. No inverter is needed.

[curtisramsey]

Your mini split use R410 and Mike said the FPA going to get rid of it. So what about the products you've sold? If they need refill? Or what is going to happen to your mini splits you have in stock?

[amythinks]

I have a mobile application. Since I don't want to dedicate the few solar panels I have to just the air conditioner, I'm wondering if there is a way to wire it up to receive DC power from a source that isn't a solar panel...
