Glad to see some positive feedback on the Mr Cool DIY! One thing to keep in mind about the pull down: I think it's going to take a while with any system. You aren't just cooling the air. There are a LOT of BTU's that get stored in the slab, walls, toolboxes, lawnmowers, cars, parts, etc...

Please show us where we can find a split for the cost of a mini-split. When I look for a split, I see prices that are far higher AND require a licensed installer to do the install and validate the warranty. For example, I'm looking at this 1.5-ton Mr. Cool DIY mini-split that looks to be...

I wouldn't bother with the 15 amp circuits. Go ahead and put in 12 gauge wire and make all of your circuits 20 amps each. The total of all your circuits can be higher than the main breaker. Count up the values of the breakers in your main panel, total the values and compare that against the...

Neutral isn't used. Just connect L1, L2 and ground. You only need neutral for devices that also use 120 volts (some stoves use 120 volts to power the clock and controls).

That part was worth sharing! :scared:

The thing I find most appealing about the mini-split is its ability to vary the speed of the compressor and indoor fan to keep the space comfortable. Traditional splits are either on-full-blast, or off, unless you spend way more cash. Are there any traditional splits using inverter technology...

Mr Slim and Mr Cool are two completely different brands. Mr Cool makes several lines of mini-splits that use standard copper linesets and require the system to be properly leak tested and vacuumed before charging. Mr Cool also has a line of mini-splits that are for DIY and come with the...

To help protect the equipment in the shop, run the cable through one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UZFLHNE/?tag=atomicindus08-20 on the outside of the building. Run a ground wire from it to the ground rod at the electrical service entrance. There should already be one of these at the...

All I see is a lovely wench. ;)
