Honestly, a 16 seer brand new unit installed in the middle of summer PLUS all your other reasoning to do so is NOT BAD for $6,113. Normally, i’d throw the $100 in caps and parts at this to see if i could get it running, but ONLY if my A/C dealer told me i could save a grand off the install if i...

That’s too high. It has been noted here and on many other forums that the valves wont always hold that much pressure. You risk introducing nitrogen into the condenser. 275-300 is the standard if i remember correctly. I’d personally never test over 300. If it’s gonna hold at 300, it’s gonna hold...

That’s why i used the yellow jacket flare tool. It makes it elementary and super correct and easy. I understand manufacturers requirements. Lets be honest, we use nylog blue as an insurance policy. Not as a leak stop. No one wants to deal with leaking refrigerant and poor seals. Nylog just...

Re: Nylog or No Definitely YES. i used it sparingly on the flares when i did both my fuji and pioneer install on the other. I have 5 seasons on the fuji, 4 on the pioneer. No leaks on either. As long as you cut and re-flare the factory flares, use the yellow jacket 410 flare tool, and a touch...

No problems here. Ordered from them several times. They have a lot of weird stuff which my local hvac shop doesn’t. Shipping is relatively fast and good packaging. No worries.

Im in albany area so i know your temps and weather. I’d suggest two entirely seperate systems. One condenser with evap on one side, and the same for the other room...

Agree on the reliability of the auto transfer switches. Get a name brand and you will be fine. Also, how did you run power from your genset to neighbors? Regular extension cords? How did the hook up go ?

Making changes/additions to your system to improve the conditioning of a space in your house due to a week/old system PRIOR to doing absolutely everything you can to insulate, improve air flow, and seal your home from drafts is honestly completely backwards. I strongly suggest you do like you...

Thanks a project alright! Details?

Dang man. The nation knows Tx lost power everywhere for the most part, but you are saying there’s also a natural gas shortage? Are tou loosing pressure??? Dang. I cant even imagine a NG shortage up here in upstate NY. My whole house runs on NG. Stove, boiler, water heater, and once my...

I’d def try adding more insulation. Then lastly a gas heater. Make sure vented, not ventless, unless you want all your tools and machines to rust.

Good god man, what kinda party garage are you running?

Yeldogt, Which brand did you buy each time if i may ask?

Hilld, I with 100% owe both my mini split installs to Gerald O. This thread he started back in 2014 inspired me to install my fujitsu 24k btu 2 head unit on the east side of my house in 2016, and a Pioneer 18k btu 2 head unit on the west side of my house in 2017. I used ALL the same tools, with...

Off to short Amerigas stocks.

I have an 18k btu Pioneer i installed on my wall of the house 2.5’ off the ground. I can not hear it run on the opposite wall. My house is 2x4 construction from 1971. I also have a 24k btu Fujitsu unit on the other side of the house i installed. Also very very quiet inside but i can actually...

It’s likely not a scam. Here’s the probable deal. These things come over in shipping crates feom China. Say the shipping crate these were in falls over, gets dropped, retains water damage from poor door seals etc. What is the manufacturer do? Rather than sell these potentially damaged units...

Mineral deposits. Period.

They dried up a few years ago. At affordable prices anyway. But the best place to find them is govplanet.com. They come up from time to time. People just bid stupid money on them. Only mep-802’s and 803’s 5 and 10k watts respectively are split or 3 phase. ALL others are 3 phase only. Just fyi.

Later model TBQ (Tactical Battle Quiet)MEP-802A. 2 cyl lister petter diesel. 30 amp twist lock at genset and at side of house with a 30 dollar square d qo interlock kit installed at the panel. Genset runs .5 gal per hour at full load. 5 gal day tank with aux hook up for another 5 gal holding...
