I do not want to sound like a broken record but I, too, bought from ecomfort. I first found out about ecomfort here on the garagejournal and was very satisfied with the pricing, ordering process, and delivery. However, sizing the units was another issue altogether (not their problem, but mine)...

I just did this project last month. I precisely measured every area that would require cove base and arrived at 135' 10" thus I opted for the 120' coil and four 4' pieces. I purchased mine at Lowes (Flexco ThermoPlastcRubber Wall Base 4"X120'X1/8"). I purposely selected an alcove area to install...

This is a long overdue followup if the event that anyone searches and finds this. We added additional supports just as CEMOTO did and there is absolutely no flex/bounce/squeak to the flooring after the modification. I spoke with my father-in-law about this situation earlier (retired Mechanical...

We use one as the primary source of heat in the winter (our home has a dual fuel HVAC system - propane/electric) but the gas vent-free fire place is used mostly. In fact, we just installed another vent-free fireplace in the bonus room last week and our HVAC guy is coming on Monday to make the...

It looks like my wife was right, as usual. The handrail will remain straight; however, I have some homework to do concerning installing something similar to a 'rosette' (?) as xyster101 suggested. My father-in-law is a master wood craftsman and he would relish in the opportunity to create some...

Last week I installed a stair handrail from the shop leading to the (almost) finished attic. This was my first experience with handrails. Two handrails were installed: one smaller section leading from the shop itself to a landing area (this section of handrail is about three feet in length) and...

It is amazing on how listening to someone else and their logic can quickly can cause you to change your mind. I had never even considered the noise attenuation that could be achieved through this setup. The walls surrounding this area are fully insulated which should quieten things down...

Kevin54, Thanks for the information about the DE plans! That information may assist me with my next addition (a lean-to for my tractor). I have bookmarked that site. When we were seeking approval to begin our project, I used Sketchup to create the drawings which were submitted to the Building...

Gerald O, I will be following this thread closely because phase II of our heating and cooling project MAY involve cassette units. Our installer recommended for us to steer clear of those and only use wall-mounted units??? My wife is adamant about not installing those ugly (her words)...

I am seeking suggestions about 'finishing' this space entry (see attached). The area is the framing between the shop portion of the garage and the area underneath the stairwell. The primary objects that will be stored in this alcove is four atv tires on rims and my air compressor. The opening...

We purchased the Idylis 10K unit on June 01, 2014. We have a sunroom that is my wife's favorite room but it gets too hot in there in the summer. The size of the space is 44' 2" X 10' 9" for a total square footage of 475 sqft. It has ten large windows in this room and our original plan was to do...

I, too, purchased mine from ecomfort.com. After reading about them here on the garagejournal, I started delving in deeper. Read the information on their site regarding warranties. My experience with ecomfort was really smooth and I wil definitely use them again... deciding on the size of the...

Of all the calculators I came across, I liked the calculator on ecomfort the best ("mini-split sizing tool" on their site). Using this calculator, I came up with some values of 13,824 BTU for cooling and 12,227 BTU for heating. I also contacted the engineers at ecomfort and supplied drawings and...

Look at the PDF below (page 5 shows the swing feature). Additionally, look at page 16 as the graph depicts various distances of the fan distributions at different settings). This information covers the Fujitsu 9K, 12K, and 15K wall mounted models...

I wanted to give a quick 'thank you' to coolreed for starting this thread. I had been searching for a reputable supplier to order a mini-split from and I did not ever have that 'warm and fuzzy' feeling with the ones that I had been investigating. Ordering from a local supplier was making this...
