I put in a MrCool (same unit 12K) about 3 months ago and couldn't be happier with it. I am no where near as handy as Josh is and I managed to get it installed without issues. Plus I hooked up everything with a "Good set of Linesman Pliers" and that's it.

[@thebeardedone1225]

The pre-charged (with freon) copper line sets with flared ends, were a game changer in the world of DIY. We use to solder everything, back in the day, and then have to put a vacuum pump on the system. Not anymore. I dont know of any of the mini splits that don't have flared fittings on them now. I get six hundred bucks a piece for installing those things, and I just smile when I come across one that I dont have to evacuate. You did an awesome job on everything. All the way down to the unistrut for mounting the boxes. Anyone else (but an electrician) would have just sunk a post in the ground. I am a licensed master electrician, HVAC and building contractor, and licensed plumber. So when I say you have done well on everything, I know what I'm talking about. Yalls channel is my favorite, of all. Not just for the care you two take in the things you do, but also for the chance to see your family grow.

[@thebeardedone1225]

@@dodgezilla04 Obviously you do not. The unit has been evacuated in the factory. The lines have been evacuated, charged with freon then sealed. When you screw the lines on, the valve pierces the seal on the last turn. Then you open the valve on the unit, and it sucks the freon into the system. This is the DIY set up, and no, it does NOT have to be evacuated, unless you mess up on installing it. It is designed by engineers to be this way. Its not like a regular system where you install empty lines, then evacuate them.

[@diverbob8]

Great explanation guys, thanks so much. I know it's past the cooling season, but here is something to remember for next season. Comfort in the humid season has more to do with humidity than heat (the actual terms are sensible heat being temperature and latent heat being humidity). So to dry out the house, units running on slow fan speed, will deliver colder air which means there is more dewpoint depression and thus dryer air. So one or two units running slow and steady, will dry better that all of them running fast because they will catch up and shut off and thus stop drying the air. This leads to cold and clammy conditions. Also, keeping the doors closed will prevent humidity from streaming in. Dry air will run out an open door just like water will flow. By the way, great idea running the two strings of six panels, nice way to save wire cost & line loss. Regarding your battery stack, if they are frequently at 100% charge, I'm sure that you know that you could use more. Here in my area (Hancock County, West Va.), historically in the winter season, we only get about 12 sunny days a year. Keep this in mind and keep a log of how you do in this coming season (Sunny Days vs 100% Charge). It would be great to know how you can hold up during 3 or 4 cloudy days in a row while using the heat pumps. I have wanted to do this for decades but I'm on the grid and the solar factor here is .31, so it is really hard to justify.

[@BethAnn1964]

Wise words in regard to off grid. There is no right or wrong, it’s a personal preference. What you all are showing is you don’t have to live a pioneer type lifestyle to go green. I think this could be an a more appealing option for a lot of people who don’t necessarily want to rough it.This could take sustainable and “going green” into a whole new direction. Excellent job.

[@adubbelde1]

I can relate to cutting angles. There are 17 walls that make up the exterior of the house. Each wall meets at a 21.2 degree angle. Made for interesting cuts on the flooring as it met outside walls that were around 10 and 30 degrees off parallel. Loved seeing what your Solar system was able to do. Thanks for all the data. I'm sure not everyone will understand or appreciate, other than knowing it's cooling your home. Where we live, it's not humid. Night time temps here are in the 50's. We use a whole house fan to bring cool air in during the night and close up the house to maintain the temperature. Currently it's 89 degrees out and 71 inside. I've been thinking of doing mini splits for those rare 90 plus days, as well as for the heating capabilities. Our house is 1500 SF with a full basement. It's always cool and comfortable there as it's super insulated, even under the slab. I've been looking at systems that have one condenser and multiple indoor units. All we really need is one for the great room and possibly one in our bedroom. We've never had to heat the bedroom so it would only be used for cooling there.

Glad you got the system you did. For Mr. Cool you have one heat pump outside for one inside unit (Zone). I put in a Mr. Slim and have one heat pump for 4 inside units (Zones). Same effect but different way of doing it. Mine is hampered by all the zones must be on the same setting, heat, cool & dehumidify. Dehumidify is the most efficient setting and I have no control over the temp. and the humidity is 30-40 points lower than the outside. I suspect your system does the same but different heat pump per zone means yours is much more flexible than mine. Years of comfort is what you have to put up with and you made a very wise choice. enjoy

We are literally non-stop but its just the type of people we are. We are very active and goal driven. It doesn't mean we don't "drop the ball" here and there, we do, but we make up for it when that happens by putting the pedal to the metal and making things happen.

Plus the filming and editing.

Very nice electrical work! Very clean and tidy. Regarding pulling a vacuum on the line sets, you still need to do that for two reasons. 1.) remove moisture from the evaporator and line set. 2.) test for leaks.

"All that and a bag of chips...", lol. You're dating yourself, Erin :) Also, love the technical minutiae. Watching Josh wire things up is quite satisfying. I admire great work. Love your channel.

As an HVAC technician I approve of the job you did. Y'all did an amazing job.

My background is electrical design/installation. Built two residential houses. Had my own electrical company. This guy is absolutely one of the best all around electricians and craftsman I've ever seen. And she is just as smart and hard working. Thanks so much for putting together an enertaining but REAL show....can't say enough good things. ..can't help but wonder though how long you think this future is going to last in view of present world conditions and if your able to take time to build a spiritual life for your family....
