How I Installed The Cheapest Mini Split Ductless AC from eBay

[@natek6754]

This video is EXCELLENT. Very straightforward -- thank you!

[@MadeByGW]

Thank You. Glad it was helpful.

[@mie2263]

Installed my mini split yesterday, thanks for your video, had to relocate the front panel because was a little bit lower than the hose wall hole and condensation water stayed on panel instead fluid through drain hose, so an advice for whoever wants to install, make sure the wall hole is lower than drain outlet

[@MadeByGW]

You're welcome. Glad it helped. Good advice about the hole.

[@lisacherrypie3683]

Straight and to the point! Thanks! 👍

[@autohosh72]

Great video! I used your tutorial to install one on my shop. Thanks

[@MadeByGW]

Thank you. Hopefully it helped you with the install. You're welcome.

Hey, I didn’t notice if you plugged it directly into a 110 outlet or did you have a disconnect install installed?

[@papasquat355]

These Confortotal 110v units plug directly into 110 outlet.

Perfect video i did the same exact thing a/c holding up perfectly 💯👍🏾

Thank You. That is awesome.

Hows the quality and longevity of the Prime minisplits?

[@linhchau9788]

Yea that's what I was gonna mention too. How the hell is power coming from??

[@RonnieRayAllDay]

Hi where did you put the drain hose exactly? Also the gray wrap, did you wrap it all the way from the inside unit to the outside lines?

[@MadeByGW]

I ran the drain hose to a area where there is gravel. I only wrapped the gray wrap where the pipes was exposed.

[@JIgginCrappie]

Thanks for the video

[@Native722]

Can we install more than one air handler down the line or this only one zone?

[@MadeByGW]

I am pretty sure this can only handle one air handler.

[@robertgillispie5034]

What happens if you don’t use the pump just hook it up without doing that vacuum part ? I don’t have a pumpkin I don’t know where to rent one.

[@MadeByGW]

I think the vacuum is a must or you will have air in the line and it will damage the unit. You can purchase the vacuum on Amazon (I have a link in the description). It's about $140. After installation, you can sell it. Even if you didn't and ended up spending $140 on a vacuum, it is still a lot cheaper than hiring someone to install it.

Any videos on getting the wifi to connect?

[@KEVINMMOON]

Thanks for the video I just installed one of the Confortotal 1200BTU unit in my place but this making a whirring noise once in a while even I turned off the A/C. This sound coming from the inside unit and seems like inside fan is turning with the noise sound about 30min and quite a bit and doing it again even I turned off the power. I unplugged the main power from due to the whirring noise sound for now. Anyone has same issue? or any suggestion?

[@codya6017]

Great job. Did the plastic/pvc channel that you installed on the outside of your house to run the lines down come with the unit?

[@MadeByGW]

Thank you. No the line set cover was not included. I have a link in the description to where you could get them. They really make a cleaner looking install.

[@codya6017]

@@MadeByGW Perfect, thank you. Sorry, I didn't notice the link before. I appreciate it. I agree, much cleaner install.

[@MadeByGW]

@@codya6017 no worries.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

right there about the 5:00 mark....thats simply foam around those copper lines? nothing else? or is that conduit?

[@MadeByGW]

It's insulation foam that came with the mini split A/C

[@Phone-sh7jg]

Is it a fire hazard?

[@gilbertoquintero6366]

Hello, I have a question. Do you know how to put the fan of the unit inside automatically in the cold mode? When it's hot, it turned off automatically, but when it's cold, I can't find it. Could you tell me?

[@MadeByGW]

Do you mean the fan turning on/off based on the set temperature? If so, I don't think it has that feature which is something I wish it has.

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

Did you put a little plastic thing inside the wall space to keep the cables safe? I lost mine. idk if it's necessary

[@MadeByGW]

No I didn't.

[@FelipeIgnacioVargasAvila]

Hi, this mini split works with 110v right ? Direct to the regular outlet ?

[@EddieBangi]

Did you install a electrical disconnect or did you plug straight into the wall? If you plugged into your existing home outlet?

[@MadeByGW]

It's plugged straight into the outlet just like any other appliances.

[@EddieBangi]

@@MadeByGW Thanks. I was a bit skeptical that it was ok or even possible to do so as I see lots of other similar size and 110v/115v units having a disconnect box.

[@bluekinopio9390]

What does the Health button do? I turn that function on but not noticing anything

[@MadeByGW]

Sorry not sure what it does. Never tried it.

[@jimbo8743]

thanks

[@MadeByGW]

You're welcome!

[@mustanglx351w]

I got the same but no plug with mine. How big is your room and does it cool the entire room down well or still hot?

[@jimramsey3279]

Cannot reflare line set due to transition to aluminum tubing. Never seen before. 4" copper stub on all ends (swedged???/glued???) to aluminum tubing. Can't flare aluminum line set. Looks like Boxers ear.

[@sptsman79]

I just installed this unit and ran it for the first time last night. In heat mode, auto, once the unit warmed the room up to temperature, the temp. light on the indoor blower unit starts blinking. I cannot find anything in the manual that troubleshoots this. Is it normal? Thanks

[@MadeByGW]

Sorry, I wish I could help but I never even use this for heat. Hopefully someone else could help here.

[@omarsandoval3942]

Me pasa igual , parpadea

[@ibrahinlabra4163]

I lost the remote and it was exactly the same ac i had is there a way to power it without the remote?

[@MadeByGW]

Sorry, I don't know if there is a way to control it without a remote.

[@alaingf2000]

the white cable from indoor unit 120 or 220 connection what colors?

[@MadeByGW]

120. The colors are labeled on the connection point.

[@luvvpetah]

How many amps does it pull

[@dhjrblue9807]

Installed mine took me 2 hours 😬

[@code3responsevideos872]

Was that Line set cover a 4 inch or 5 inch? Did you have enough room inside?

[@MadeByGW]

I believe it is a 3" cover. There wasn't much room in there after all the line sets and wiring. There is a link in the description to the cover set.

[@code3responsevideos872]

@@MadeByGW thanks I went ahead and got a 4 incher. Is the unit still going strong?

[@MadeByGW]

Yes, I have it running right now.

[@OSAS726]

Did you have to add Freon to the system? The unit I bought about a month ago is a pre-sealed system. I was just wondering because I noticed you had to run a vacuum down to 500 µm for 15 minutes which would imply that you had to charge the system with Freon. Also, is it necessary to use the gray wrap outside on the line sets? I haven’t opened the box on my system yet and was wondering if it comes with the gray insulation that you installed on your high-pressure low pressure lines?

[@cmarshall108]

The vacuum pump was used to remove the air and moisture from the copper line set. The unit comes pre-gassed, once the unit is turned on the gas fills the copper lines that were under vacuum pressure. It works pretty much the same to how you recharge a vehicle AC system.

[@AndrewCoutts]

Was the hole saw included?

[@personstanislow5250]

Do you need to buy an adapter to vacuum the lines?

[@MadeByGW]

The vacuum that I purchased included the adapter that was needed. There is a link in the description to the vacuum that I purchased.

[@ntace]

Very nice

[@MadeByGW]

Thanks

[@johnwall9104]

I cannot seem to find this unit on EBay. All I can find are ones that need to be wired, without the 110 plug. Can you help me find one with the plug?

[@jesusaguilar3843]

Look up 110v mini split I just ordered 2

[@tylergreen7711]

How long are is the line set? 12 feet?

[@jetskill99]

Did you use a dedicated circuit? How’d you do the wiring?

[@MadeByGW]

No, this just plugs into your regular 110 volt outlet like a window A/C unit.

[@soloyose5791]

​@@MadeByGW kinda late but my is 220v and all my wiring is outside, some idea how to install???😢😢

[@Constitution1789]

You just plugged it into a standard outlet?

[@MadeByGW]

Yes, this unit is a 120 Volt system which you can plug into your normal outlet. There are some systems that uses 220 Volt which you can't plug into your normal outlet.

[@Constitution1789]

@@MadeByGW Do 120v systems usually come with power cords? Every one that I look at on Lowe's and Home Depot don't show a power cord. Did you purchase your own power cord and attach it to the unit?

[@MadeByGW]

The system that I purchased came with the power cord. This is the system that I purchased. www.ebay.com/itm/352821716902

@@MadeByGW Thank you! I think I'll buy it and install it myself. Several HVAC technicians quoted me $5,000. Insane.

comes with the wall plug.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

You need to vacuum the lines for this unit. Mr. Cool makes a system that doesn’t need vacuuming.

[@dmytrolysak1989]

You fill freon?

[@MadeByGW]

No, it came pre-recharged with refrigerant.

[@howtodoitdude1662]

The unit is precharged, but not the lines. This is why the lines need to be vacuumed before releasing the freon into the lines.

[@MadeByGW]
