    4th Mr Cool minisplit died

    Over the past ten years, I’ve had four mini-split systems develop refrigerant leaks in the indoor coil. When I recently called to order a replacement indoor unit and provided the serial number, I was surprised to learn it was still under warranty. While I’m not impressed with the longevity of...

    3 DIY Mr Cool mini split failures

    I've had three units fail due to Freon leaks in the indoor coils—two 24K BTU and one 18K BTU. The first 24K unit lasted nearly five years before leaking. They replaced it under warranty, but only after I paid to have it refilled, confirmed it leaked again, and then covered around $800 for...

    Adding 2nd light switch in bathroom

    I added on a bathroom to my game room and added a door from the outside of the house also. I ran a 14/2 wire in the wall for the light switch by the new door and was going to tire into the previous switch by the original door. I realized today when I went to wire in the switch I had no red wire...

    Both my central ac units are starting to have problems 18-20 years old. I have central heat and air with heat pump and heat strips. I got one quote to replace everything except the ducting for $16k, 10 yr warranty parts, everything done in one day. Does that seem about right?

    Armorpoxy Racing Red Scratching Easily

    Have racing red in my dyno room and grey in the rest of the shop with no flecks. The red seems to scratch 10x easier than the grey. With the red being really bright the scratches stand out really bad. Can you lightly buff the floor or can anything be done about the scratches. The red looks good...

    Ordered 24k mini split for shop

    I'm excited to finally be one step closer to having AC. I built the shop (24x42) a year ago with AC as my goal, did closed cell spray foam and OSB walls. Ordered a 24k DIY mini split for the main shop. The addition for the Dyno won't have AC due to the massive heat build up when dyno'ing cars...
