Well, technically it's not "recommended". It's just what I've learned from research which is why I'm asking the question. There's no reason to spend $500 if it's the same product. The warranty is irrelevant since I don't get either one BUT if the warranty is given to contractors because the...

Hello I'm finally starting to do the siding on my garage extension. The house is clad in aluminum composite panels, like you'd see on office building and other commercial buildings. Given the garage is an extension to the existing one I need to match that look. I've got the panels and am going...

Thank you rlitman! I really should have read the product description better. I just got back from a local supply house and was told the same thing so I now have the knowledge I needed on this product. However.. now I'm wondering what product I need to bond the PVC corner flashing the the...

As the title states. I'm doing some minor PVC roofing install/repair and need to add some termination bars. I was told by the main roof installer to use a mastic/sealant product ubiquitously named "waterblock". See below...

I figured out most of the hookup question I had. I think I'm good to go on the installation of the outdoor unit. Now for the heads, or more specifically the ducted head. I'm planning on cooling my loft office with this unit via two diffusers off of a single duct. I plan on putting the air...

According to the supplier it does not. I did a bunch of research on VRF systems and they do not employ branch boxes or any other form of valve controlled distribution. All functions are handed by the head units.

Ok, good! That's the math I was doing as well.

Ok, this is going to sound like I REALLY don't know what I'm doing but how did you determine this was a 9k BTU unit? I contracted for a 36k unit to power my 3 12k heads.

So, what if I told you all this wasn't a multizone mini split but instead was a VRF system?

Yeah, I thought that was a bad omen too...

Understood. Just getting an idea of what it may cost. Regardless, I better not be paying for it actually. I was sold a system, not some random parts. I expect the supplier to step up and make it right but if they don't I'll need to prepare for some investigation and legwork. Point taken though...

Wow! That's not cheap! With the missing lines, wiring and branch box my savings are quickly eroding...

That's how it was sold to me, as a Carrier product, which enticed me to buy it. That's above my knowledge of the subject but... You mean something like this???

I've got questions out to them but with the 12 hour time difference I'm in for a long night of back and forth. Problem is, if they say it's wrong I'm going to have to wait months to see if the new unit is correct. I tried to have them send pictures before they sent it but all I got a picture of...

So, I thought I'd save a few thousand dollars and get my mini split system directly from China. After 3 months of waiting it have finally arrived! I opened the boxes to discover all of the instructions were in Chinese (as expected) but there doesn't appear to be any wiring of any sort. Also, I...

I'm working with a sheet metal fabrication company now but they're taking forever to produce even samples. I highly doubt they'll be able to mimic the pocket I need on a brake. All the extruded aluminum suppliers I've contacted need a minimum product weight order around 2k pounds. I'm nowhere...

Nothing huh?

Hi guys I'm hoping you all can help with a major project I've got going on. I recently built an extension to my existing four car garage and am now in the process of doing the siding. This is a little unique as my existing garage and house are clad in custom built ACP panels and I need to...
