    How to insulate uninsulated finished walls

    I had mine done about two years ago. I believe it was around 45-48 feet linear, 10 ft ceilings, 2x6 framing. I went with foam injection but wish I had gone with a blown in product (more on this at the end). I got quotes from several companies for dense cellulose, one company for blown...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    I did look at the receiving flare before I put it back together. Maybe not super close inspection but it looked ok to me. It is a 5/8 line - I think the recommended torque was 68 to 82 n. I set at 80 this last time. Is there any chance of creating a leak by overtightening. Justinroyal I...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    Ok guys, looking for some experienced guidance/advise. It has taken me awhile to get this thing to the point of releasing the charge - bad weather, kids, other projects moving to priority etc. I had the HVAC company that has done work at my house for the past 8 years come out to do a...

    mini-split that heats to below 60F set points

    The gree virieo has what I believe they call freeze guard which is I believe 48 or 49. Like poorowner stated mitsubishi units have a similar setting although I am not sure that all models have it. When I was looking I remember some mistu models seemed to have it and some did not but maybe...

    Mini split install -- EPA certification required or not?

    Oh boy is this thread relevant to my current situation. Out of curiosity I was just looking at the EPA certifications/regs before popping over here. I installed a Gree unit in my garage and it is ready to be tested and vacuumed. I had gone back and forth on doing the startup myself or...

    I am trying to figure out exactly where I want the indoor head. Does anyone have recommendations on a good height to mount the unit? I plan using at least as much for heat as AC. Google research has found "at least 8-10 feet from floor," "6 feet from floor," 7 feet from floor" I have 10...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    Just wanted to post an update and again thank everyone who replied to my original post. I pretty much made a decision back in January but wanted to get into better weather to work on the install and not have the unit sitting a couple months. I also had a ski trip in February and did not want...

    4' LED lights - plug-in vs wired...

    I just went through a ton of research and agonizing over this same issue. My main shop area is fairly small ~13x16 back part of 3 car tandem garage. I can use the other garage area if needed for larger projects but don't consider it "main" shop area. I think I will be throwing a couple extra...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    Anyone have experience good or bad with theacoutlet.com ? The are cheapest by about $100. Seems like all the online mini split retailers have their share of bad reviews - acwholesalers and goductless (same company) seem to have the most. I saw a handful of positive comments about ecomfort on...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    What is the general opinion of Gree? Do they fall into the flash in pan company/unit - I have read they are the largest AC manufacturer in the world? I also don't doubt how good Mitsu and Fujitsu are. My dad has several Mintsus (maybe 5 of them - prob 3 compressors) in his 1900's house. The...

    Retlaw Thanks for the ideas. Does Johnstone sell units to the public? There is one near me. I have been meaning to double check the rebate. terabitdan I have used 68 and 70 as indoor temp numbers. Rest of house is natural gas - I think getting supply to the right spot in the garage would...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    They are inverters. Which I understand is less of an issue in over sizing because they throttle back. I read some information on sizing mini splits that did say if they are significantly oversized it can still result in short cycling and premature wear/shorter life on a unit. In my AC...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    Thank you for the suggestion. It was on my list of contenders (which has 22 units on it) - unless I can't find the right online vendor that Fujitisu was about $75 than the Mitsu with almost identical specs/performance ratings. I did find it odd that most threads I have read stated Fujitsu is...

    Finalizing Mini Split Options

    Any Input on sizing or units would be appreciated. I have read a bunch of the mini split threads on the forum which are great. Looking at putting a mini in my garage/workshop. I would say heat is as important or maybe slightly more important than cool to me. But I would think based on my...
