Did my driveway 2 years ago. You can see where I stopped and where it drained off on the next section with a clean streak. Good stuff but you have to wait on it.

Finished with this project. Everything is running great but time will tell. Let’s see how long these Home Depot Hessaire units last.

That was kind of my thought too but it quit making that sound.

My luck might be running out- lol. So far unit has been working great. However, I’ve noticed this intermittent gushing sound out at the condenser. Normal? Not Normal? What’s going on here? Take a listen and tell me what you think:

Success! Well, I think - lol. No nitrogen test, no micron gauge but I did pull a vacuum for an hour and my analog gauge stayed at -30 in hg vac for 24 hours. Then I opened the valves to release the 410a. The first positive pressure on the line set and my gauge read 150psi. At that pressure...

Yes it is. The wife calls it her “she palace” but I refer to it as “the witch house” . Either way it’s going to be the death of me. This project has been going on for two years now… hence my user name.

So I started the install on the wife’s she shed and after practicing to get the perfect flares, I’m now about a foot short. I don’t want to move the condenser up any so needless to say I need to get some more copper. Which is the best type of copper to use, L or M? Can either be used? Any...

I was trying to say that R410a is a common refrigerant used in theses pre charged mini splits and that R152a is compatible with it. Im really bad at wording things sometimes. 75% odds sounds like a pretty good bet but what if the rest of the install was perfect and the unit was properly...

I think thats a fair analogy

I missed his post . Thoughts on the likely hood of getting good service from a unit that was only purged with refrigerant. If you maintain it is a gamble as @pcmeiners puts into context , then what odds would you give it?

I understand why nitrogen should be used for a positive pressure leak test and that a vacuum should be pulled to remove moisture from the system. It is very clear that these are standard procedures in the HVAC industry and is often referred to as the “right” way. However, after watching many...

I like Senville. I would order one if I knew it could be delivered to my house. I live a ways from the road and most delivery trucks are unable to make the turn into my driveway. Please let be know how your Senville is delivered and what kind of truck. Thanks!

Labor Day sales are making me want to pull the trigger on Mr. Cool. Tell be all the bad about these and let’s see if I can counter all the negative about these. The particular unit I’m eyeing at Home Depot

I like what a see about the Senville too! It’s just that I don’t want to go down the road of possible problems associated with shipping.

Much appreciated! I need two of the 18k. My local Home Depot has them in stock so I can take the guess work out of not knowing if they give me the right unit or not, and I can inspect for any damage right there in the store . I think it’s worth the gamble. $1000 each is not that much invested...
