Time will come these HVAC Mini Splits will be putting in a Microwave. I did mine ater they scared me with an over $5, 000 for a 24, 000 BTU. So I installed it myself but then having big extended family and rental properties; I bought all the professional tools to the tune of almost $3000. I did my first one in 2018. Today after 15 installs in our home, garage, my sons' and our rental properties, think of how much money we save. I am not intending to go into their HVAC business. We just take care of our own and nspired and helped others. My biggest help came from Youtubers who were very special people. Thanks to them.

I’m a service tech that has gotten quite a few calls to DIY mini splits over the years. Most common issue I run into going back on home owner installed units is the factory flares tend to leak, always re do the flares if possible. The flares also have specific torquing for Each size line, over or under torquing can cause unit to leak over time. Pulling a good deep vacuum is very important for longevity of the unit, it’s best to vacuum down unit with a micron gauge to know how deep of a vacuum you have obtained. This will also let you know for sure if you have a leak and vacuum should be on unit no less then one hour giving it time to pull out all moister, moister in the system will cause leaks over time. The units do come pre charged with refrigerant but only up to a certain length of line set, make sure to use the calculations in the manual to know if you need to add or remove refrigerant. Also note that installing these systems yourself will void manufacture warranty most the time.

I installed a Senville dual head unit myself about a year and a half ago in our cottage. It had electric baseboard (rural area with no natural gas) and was costing a small fortune to heat in winterI did the entire install myself with a bit of research and they run great! About to install a 3 head unit on our main house now for the same reason. Best decision we ever could have made.

One of the best DYI videos on installing a split ac system.
I especially like the fact that you correctly sized the refrigerant lines. The tutorial on cutting and flaring was good too.
You must have made hard lines with flare fittings before.

Wish I had researched these more before I replaced my central air unit. Spent ton having a HVAC company do it for code and what not. This would have been a better alternative and saved me a ton having a unit in my main rooms. Not to mention the power draw being so much lower.

I did a Mr Cool 1800 BTU last summer and it works great and saved a ton of money over a contractor install. I need a 1200 for a bedroom and may try this one to save a bit more. Thanks for the video.

The explanation of the head unit being precharged with nitrogen just saved me a oh crap moment tomorrow. I've watched numerous videos and you are the first to mention that. thank you sir. :)

[terryrichards]

I just installed the same Senville 2-head unit that you installed in your video, and your video was an incredible help! I could not find another video dealing with multi-head units, and yes I did buy and use the yellowjacket flaring tool. Thank you so much for your top notch work!

Will do.
We had an incredibly hot and humid day yesterday, my wife
Worked in a comfy 66 degree office all day!!!

Best video I’ve seen on the topic, revisited multiple times this last week as I home install a 3 zone Senville. Big thanks 🎉

It never occurred to me before this video how easy this stuff is with the pre-charged units. I have been researching MrCool units because I thought it was the only thing a DIYer could handle. Heck no all I need are a few more inexpensive tools to get this job done and I’ll be rewarded with much higher efficiency and better cold weather performance.

I've had an 18k single zone Mr Cool DIY for about 2 years and just installed an 18k two zone Mr Cool DIY. Here is a PSA: CLEAN YOUR INSIDE UNIT FAN ANNUALLY. Mine got all caked up with gross goo and just about stopped airflow. It happened slowly over time so I didn't understand what was going on. Ended up taking the cover off, the main air deflector, the wire deflector grid and the horizontal deflectors, and carefully cleaned the fan. I also used foaming cleaner on the coil. The system works like new now. I feel a little silly because I had opened a warranty claim with Mr Cool to investigate performance issues and it was just a filthy fan. So there you go.

Thanks for giving the cost savings in the end that's amazing, I think I am going to give this a go. Thanks for the Video!

I've been watching quite a few of these videos on mini split systems, all offer something different to learn. I really appreciate yours because you took the time to explain the details I needed. Thanks for doing this video!

[Cogent]

This is so much more complete than other videos... you addresses all points I was looking for... vacuum test, which port, release all lines... Props!

[Jonathanped]

Just had the local energy services come and quote me for 12, 500$ for an install with 3 head units. Decided to do it myself and save a few dollars. Thanks for the video.

[raygamero]

You're the man dude ! You Really know how to explain every detail that's so great thanks bud

[lex_DO]

Clear and concise. I may go this route for my home in New Orleans. Many thanks!

The Mitsubishi units are more expensive to purchase, but even more cheaper to operate! We had hundreds of split systems in Iraq on base. The Mitsubishi units were the most least prone to have issues. One point to make, the grounds on the outside unit are very important, the boards go back if you lose a ground! The biggest maintenance we had were the cleaning of the condenser coils, but we were in a desert! Lastly the proper pulling a vacuum and proper correct refrigerant is extremely important! This man also showed you proper level of both units is critical, this enables the function of evaporator drain of water, to back and outside of wall cassette. Even the wrapping of copper lines with insulation makes the entire system more energy efficient! Split systems are the way to go, as long as you buy a good manufacturer with compressor warranty, and available parts on hand. In Iraq parts were difficult to get in a timely manner. This man showed you the proper installation method from start to finish!
