    Mini Split Install

    Keep in mind the bulk of installs fail because of improper installation! Many of the how to videos are either for R22 or done by people that do not have a clue what they are doing!! I checked the ready made flairs with a flair gauge and I think 3 of them failed and the nuts on the ready...

    Anyone Here Doing Their Own Auto AC Work???

    I moved from NY to Florida, before moving all I knew about AC was turn it on and off, fan speed. What I quickly learned in Florida is most AC people are not only incompetent but crooks as well. Now there are good honest people around but they are hard to find. So anyway I now own about $800...
