    MRCOOL DIY Mini Split, Seriously, I Think...

    They come with the line set exiting the left side. If you want it coming out the right side you just bend them out. There are also punch-outs in the housing if you want the lineset to exit on the air handler side of your wall. From what I can picture in my mind from your description of your...

    They make a LOT of water. On our 2-ton one I routed it over to a watering pail near the patio, and it fills that 2gl pail up a two or three times on a hot day. I don't know if I would drink it, just from old drain lines and any pollutants coming off the cooling coils, but the plants love it! If...

    The condensate drain can be attached to either side of the air handler, and completely separated from the lineset and power cable. IIRC it comes attached to the right side with a plug in the left side - easily reversed.

    I returned the AC Infinity register fan I posted above, as the one I really wanted came back in stock. This one is 120VAC instead of 24VDC, it pushes up to 303cfm at 48db. It's a lot nicer more powerful unit that can easily be hardwired, for $10 more. And it's double sided so I don't have to...

    Wow...this thread is asleep for quite a time here... I just bought another 9K BTU unit for the back bedrooms. It's almost in...my cement drill bit wouldn't drill, so waiting for the rain to stop now so I can finish hooking it up. Air handler is hung, wiring is done - had a spare 20A breaker in...

    It's been over a hundred every day for over a week here in so-Cal - breaking all records. At least night time temps drop to 75 or so. Finally supposed to drop back to 80's this weekend. My two units haven't been shut off for a week - just set the temp up to 80 overnight - and 77 during the day...

    The outside compressor/condenser will shut down. The inside air handler will slow to a whisper, but does remain powered on for when there is a temperature change and demand. There's also the timer settings to turn on or off on the remote. I just turn mine off when we open the windows and...

    The cover/housing is pretty easy to remove, locate the assembly screws, it all comes apart. You may be able to gain access to the connections, under the assumption is is a later version with a union at the coil - you can see here mine does not - the coil and line are all one piece. The flex part...

    I like the car WAY more than the AC. :ROFLMAO:

    Yeah, mine is near silent - all you hear is a very faint noise from the fan blowing air. But then I'm near deaf. LOL

    Yes, you can reset the stop limits in the door motor. It likely has some kind of hall sensor. Generally cycling it full up and full down should do it.

    They shouldn't be leaking freon unless there's a failure in the circuit. I could tell mine was getting low when it wouldn't cool all the time, and it kept icing up. So as the gas circulates through it will have periods where there is no gas, then a rush will come thru and ice over the coils in...
