No harm. Also, we camp with 2 A/C's, one is directly over the bed. :) CT

No. Can only "pump" into the condenser. To service the A-Coil (evaporator). To service the condenser (where compressor is) requires recovery of refrigerant with a recovery machine or a recovery tank under vacuum. 2nd option will get most, not all. Or have him fix it with 1/2" and he owes you...

I had a 40W or 60W equivalent CFL turn into a flamethrower at one of our rental properties. It was a trip to see. Tenant turned light off and called me. When I got there, they turned the switch back on! Shot a flame out of the base about 6" long. Got Amazon and ordered several cases of LED 40W...

I installed a 400 (320) when be built our all electric house. 2, 27kw tankless was what pushed me above a 200 amp can. In reality only 1 water heater is needed. Hindsight. Power distribution looks like your image posted. 2, 200 amp feed thru panels with 200A main and 8 slots. Those slots come...

I'm well aware a saddle tap is a temporary valve for recovery. Installed it, sniffed it, it passed. This year topped off again, ran pierce valve in, sniffed, passed. Leak is around condenser coil. May fix, may replace, may braze a service port. Camping in the south in July, AC is a necessity...

If compressor works. If you know how. If you have proper refrigerant. You can use a saddle tap and recharge it. Otherwise, not really cost effective to save it. Last year had to do this to a 3 year old 15K RV roof top unit that is leaky. Needs a snort annually. CT

Mini split head is a single point of origin for both supply and return air. Some have louvers, some have motorized louvers to try to disperse the supply air. Still a single point and directional. Not to mention, no way can a mini split evap head throw air 30'. Mini split heads also do not move...

Don't get too hung up on SEER vs ROI. 14-16 SEER equipment is the #1 seller. 14-16 SEER equipment vs higher SEER 2 stage and variable speed equipment (split and package) will not pay off during lifetime of equipment in energy savings. They can provide better "comfort" in a properly designed...

I'm an hour across the Lake from you. 40x60x17 with the standard white/fiberglass/foil insulation. No ridge vents. 3 insulated rollups. Rollups do have a gap. I have the "flap" to seal them, but haven't installed them. Many will recommend a Mini-Split on GJ. My biggest issue with them is that...

Got tired of crappy motion lights. Made up my own from components. CT

Yep. Most farm grain setups use 14-50/60 up to 25HP motors, 240D 3P, rarely 208Y or 480. Never seen a pin and sleeve at a farm. Fertilizer house at the Co-Op, yes. Everything in my shop is 6-50, nothing over 5HP, yet. I have sense enough to have breaker or disconnect off when plugging or...

I did 48". That's where the steel wall girt was... CT
