    Question for the folks here - anyone come across an F5 error code? The problem is with the outside unit: Outdoor System Model Numbers: Outdoor Model DIY-MULTI-36HP230 (installed 4 years ago) Noticed none of the 3 inside air handlers blowing cold when I had AC running. Went outside and noticed...

    EDIT: they got back to me: Following are internet/Wi-Fi requirements for Cielo Smart controllers. 1. The router is set to transmit on 2.4 GHz. (Presently Cielo Smart controllers does not support 5 GHz network routers) 2. Make sure there is no proxy server or authentication server configured on...

    Going on summer #3 with this 36K multi-head unit (have three heads, 9k, 9k, 12k). So far so good, knock on wood, the only issue I have is with the android app, SmartHVAC app version 5.2.8, it seems randomly the air-handler units show as "online" or "offline", just totally random. Sometimes I...

    ..nice work. Nice dog :) I am in NH, used a 36K condensor multi-head unit with three heads (two 9 k's and a 12 = 30k total), yes the condensor was oversized for the head units, but it's all ingrams had at the time and I can heat this place to 80 degrees when it's in the teens outside, and...

    I gotta say, not withstanding all of the nay-say, watch-out-for-this-and-that, DIY is DANGEROUS F.U.D. put out by yeldogt, having a multi-zone mr. cool (three heads and a 36k condenser) has proven to be AWESOME, at leat for me. Nothing against you, yeldogt, I appreciate the warnings, but for...

    I must admit, you lost me. When the heads are calling for coolant, I can hear it cycling through the head unit. When not, all you hear is the fan. When none of the heads require coolant (when temperature is reached), that compressor is off and the only thing running are the air handler fans. I...

    This inverter compressor does not start at max RPM and then ramp down as the system finds the set point programmed by the air handler. It starts at the lowest RPM and ramps up. If the actual room temp and the setpoint are only a few degrees apart, then the compressor will never come anywhere...

    Yeah.. About that. We were orig. talking about the 30K, but these things were all back-ordered and sitting on loading docks in shipping containers with no ability to get them, due to the covid situation. So basically, to make a long story short, I had one week of PTO week of July 6 to get this...

    Pics attached. I need to dream up a way to enclose the lines running through the closet, but the setup works fine for the whole house. The other one I put into my place in MA (for sale BTW, in case anyone wants to move to the peoples republic of MA) is still working mint, going on 3 years (24K...

    Hey y'all. So I pre-ordered the multi-zone DIY mr. cool back in May. The thing finally showed up week before last and I installed a single 36K compressor with three head units (12k, 9k, 9k). The 25' line sets worked perfectly for the upstairs heads and they also have a 16' lineset now, so the...

    ..Yeah, the sales rep on ingrams chat said it's a non-starter. I have seen posts on-line where people place these 18" off the floor for heating (makes sense, heat rises), but I need it to **** heat out of the place. I will measure some stuff tomorrow when I head up there and see where 25' from...

    Guys: I have a question / looking for feedback. I built a lake house in NH. The 2nd floor bed rooms are cathedral ceiling with rafters sitting on 4' knee wall. I had originally planned to go with attic mounted head unit, ducted, with ducted vents into each br and return from the hallway. Mrcool...

    Hey all, just an update on my 24K unit. Been heating with this so far this fall season, works great for my little house. Installed a year and 1/2 ago, so far no issues. Anyone know of any threads where I can read about peoples experience with these things after several years? I am installing a...

    Been a while since I pulled up on this thread, but thought I would send an update. Had this 24K unit delivered from Ingrams a little over one year ago and installed it shortly there after. After a year of running basically every night, so far so good. I am in MA and we had a typical winter. Even...
