[@tomahern8967]

[@erinmahalo1]

That's my guy! I'm an HVAC girl at heart and we were a perfect match more than 30 years ago. We live, eat, breathe HVAC. Mahalo "Thank you" for all of your views and comments. It has been a great experience and we are honored to have been here for the past 12 years in Roseburg. This episode is amazing 👏

[@colinblack5636]

I'm an HVAC engineer and it looks like they did a great job. Great choice on going with the mini splits. Having a thermostat in each bedroom is a huge benefit. I also liked the dryer box behind the clothes dryer. It's designed to allow you to push the dryer up against the wall without crushing the duct. It's a simple and low cost detail that more homes should use. Well done EC!

[@heavyd777]

8 out of 10 HVAC guys are not true craftsmen or troubleshooters. These guys are in that top 2. If you find that top 2 HVAC guy, keep them. Do them a favor and refer them to everyone you meet. They will appreciate it. We recently got an HVAC installation referral from a family member. I was in the HVAC business for almost 20 years and I've seen a lot junk work but this guy and his team were top notch and their work was true artistry. He was number 9 of the list of numerous other companies we had called for a full central HVAC installation. That included all duct work and registers. Fantastic installation job with zero problems. Very importantly, it passed inspection. I never thought we would be able to find the right team. I call it providence. No more window units!

[@skater4life31683]

The owner of a hvac company in the crawl space? Definitely hire that guy!

To be fair, that crawlspace is an HVAC technician's wet dream. Not the kind they usually get into where the coveralls have to come on and they're sliding on their belly.

I’m an HVAC guy. Good call on the ducted mini split. I want one in my house.

[@skizzik121]

When I say it changed my life I'm not exaggerating. I did a full mechanical rehab on my house as it was 1920's era mini mansion. I have the advantage of being a construction super/project manager so I get really great pricing but it would be worth it at twice the price man. I have multi zone and everyone is comfortable. It's just not feasible in a 5ksqft place to even bother trying to single zone. And mini split was a little less invasive that ripping out every wall lol

[@Dale37]

I am an HVAC Service Technician and I haven't missed an hour of work due to COVID. When it comes to demand, I don't lose sleep at night worrying about having a job. Like mentioned in the video, I can move anywhere and get to work. This is the best trade to enter in my opinion, HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing will also have a demand.

[@DKWalser]

Our house was built in 1984 and has two traditionally ducted units, one for the upstairs and one for the downstairs. A few years ago, we made a small addition of about 300 square feet. Rather than run additional duct and increase the capacity of our downstairs unit, our HVAC guy recommended a mini-split. It was some of the best money we've spent. I wish the entire house used the same technology. It's super quiet, maintains the right temperature, and automatically switches between heating and cooling as required.

[@kskrawler]

Look up Inverters. Same technology but they make them for traditional split systems. Bosch is the best right now.

[@refiii9499]

I’m usually pretty critical in regards to HVAC&R work where I’m a HVAC&R technician myself. This job looks awesome. Everything is hung properly with proper spacing all lines insulated where needed, ducts pookied where sealing is needed and line sets look very organized. The nylon strapping does a great job and it also doesn’t cut through the plastic lines over time like steel strapping always does. This system should run fine for many a year to come.

You really killed me with the terminology you used for heating and air conditioning, I used to do HVACR a long long time ago and one of my pet peeves is people calling refrigerant "Freon". When I heard you call it by the correct terms I knew you knew your stuff and as the video progressed I was proven right, so I really enjoyed the video if for no other reason then for hearing the correct terms all through out the video. With that being said, it's been over 20 years since I last did heating and air, so I also enjoyed learning the new systems that I had no knowledge of.

Thanks for another great video, guys. Scott...I think when you get up there in age and can no longer bare the bodily wear of construction, narrating and voice-overs is your future.

It was absolutely fantastic to work in there. Yes, EC did a great great thing by making the crawl space so tall on this house!

[@xoxo2008oxox]

Would be better if they added some LED lighting (even separate bank of UV-C Lamps on timer, to protect against mold/mildew/Covid). I mean, a few cheap LED shop fixtures, on a switch near access, would benefit any future access, or even homeowner storage.

[@HBSuccess]

🕸🕷🕸🕷🕸🕷

[@erinmahalo1]

@@xoxo2008oxox despite claims by manufacturers and sellers of uv products, they are not proven to kill pollutants such as mold, viruses, bacteria or other indoor biological substances. The amount of ozone that would be required to have any effect on these, would be very harmful to the health of the occupants in the home. Ozone is corrosive and has a negative impact on respiratory health and a host of other problems. While there are some uv products on the market, we have found that they can create problems such as corrosive effects on plastic coatings. We experienced melted plastic filter framing on these IAQ products from the ozone created by the uv lights. We hear complaints about uv lights and the distinct ozone odor they produce. I am sensitive to the ozone and I experience dry throat and dry burning eyes from these products. I decided to do some research on these products after seeing them EVERYWHERE when covid hit. The EPA has a lot of information about ozone created by uv lights. I advise anyone who is considering buying them to do a bit of research.. This is purely my personal opinion and I appreciate no harsh responses. I just want to give people an opportunity to learn and make their own decisions. This is just a snippet from the EPA: If used at concentrations that do not exceed public health standards, ozone applied to indoor air does not effectively remove viruses, bacteria, mold, or other biological pollutants. Some data suggest that low levels of ozone may reduce airborne concentrations and inhibit the growth of some biological organisms while ozone is present, but ozone concentrations would have to be 5 - 10 times higher than public health standards allow before the ozone could decontaminate the air sufficiently to prevent survival and regeneration of the organisms once the ozone is removed (Dyas, et al.,1983; Foarde et al., 1997). Even at high concentrations, ozone may have no effect on biological contaminants embedded in porous material such as duct lining or ceiling tiles (Foarde et al, 1997). In other words, ozone produced by ozone generators may inhibit the growth of some biological agents while it is present, but it is unlikely to fully decontaminate the air unless concentrations are high enough to be a health concern if people are present. Even with high levels of ozone, contaminants embedded in porous material may not be affected at all.

Interesting thing is they're considered an appliance that you take with you when you move (even between apartments) and hook up to the connections in your new place. I think they're great, and after seven years in Japan with them it's awesome to see them taking off here too (I'm also in Oregon by the way, in McMinnville, about a 2.5 hour drive north from Roseburg).

I may go this route when replacing the unit in my house. I have a heat pump that never should have been sold in the firat place, but the HVAC company saw an opportunity to get rid of a system that was getting phased out and now I'm stuck with a unit that costs more in repairs and refrigerant than a replacement would cost in the long run. I've also considered using a mini-split with ceiling cartridges. The benefit of a ducted mini-split is I can reuse most of my ductwork.

[@PootsPastures]

Great video as always! We just installed our mini split system, except we went all ductless. We were going to do it ourselves but needed to extend some of the lines so we called in a contractor which was really nice!

[@jasonking2943]

Three years ago when we built our home which was a log home. Our HVAC guy suggested mini splits. I was sceptical to say the least. There are alot of windows in the house and given its a log home no insulation in the walls. I like it about 65 year round, I'm in Alabama btw. It gets hot as hell here in the summer. Long story short ...I'd never have anything else! In the winter months they don't ever come on. We have radiat floor heat and a huge fire place that we light only if it dips in the 20's! Only way to go

[@paulmace7910]

My opinion. Split systems are great in certain applications. Short line sets that can be accessed are a must. Having those long runs is going to be a nightmare if and when a leak develops. No bueno with the AHU in the crawl space or in an inaccessible attic space. Multi-zone splits are great and are much more efficient and comfortable than conventional ducted but don’t try and hide the outside unit at the opposite side of the house. As with any system put stuff where you can maintain it because at some point you will need to.

[@Lugnut64052]

Kinda what I thought. Three line sets, three drains . . . I think I'd rather have one line set and some ductwork.

I have started adding inline 1/4 turn ball valves at start of condensate drains with a T fitting after the ball valve. This is to allow hooking up a shop vac in blower mode to push the snot buildup out of the drains. Or suction mode at the bottom end. Slime grows well here as AC is used year around with no heat systems in buildings at all. Might be of no use in your climate.
