Don’t forget to do a follow-up video and give us a report on how the Gree system is running.

[@crazygravy437]

Sounds like you have a nice and considerate neighbor considering how they share their music with you and the neighborhood.

[@Empty7775]

Those ring neck snakes are really cool. They are one of the few snakes that wont bite you when you pick them up. Very docile.

[@RichL8223]

I would definitely sell the owner a maintenance plan 😁

[@donmadere4237]

Lol as they say The shoe makers kids have no shoes! I just installed a mini split and will use my old system as a backup. Big difference when heating on the mini split vs the heater strips on a 60 amp line! You gonna love the inverter unit!

[@ParabellumX]

Curtis, you did a great job - even down to torquing your flares to their proper specs. If we can just stop Baby Girl from chewing on much-needed fittings, etc... 😏

[@robalexander7348]

Good one Curtis,that is a smart looking Gree A/C unit, i hope you have many years of trouble free service from it. Greetings from Australia 👍 🍺

[@GoatzombieBubba]

Diadophis punctatus, commonly known as the ring-necked snake or ringneck snake, is a harmless species of colubrid snake found throughout much of the United States, central Mexico, and south-eastern Canada. Ring-necked snakes are secretive, nocturnal snakes, so are rarely seen during the day time.

[@manonfire3642]

And they are beneficial. These are good for the environment just as king snakes are a welcomed resident at and around my house.

[@ronnor58]

I knew that someone would identify that snake in the comments section! Thank you for that, I was curious as well. That's what you have to love about you tube, there are tons of smart people out there, and this is a great learning platform. Have an awesome day!

[@Biarkii]

Ive put in about 10 or 12 of those systems, they are awesome so far,, im unsure about long term reliability but Gree is a good brand Ive installed several of their mini splits as well

[@dylanw8823]

If both the indoor AHU and outdoor HP are precharged, whats the max lineset before needing to top up refrigerant?

[@TheGuruStud]

@@dylanw8823 specs says 30 ft, iirc. So 25-30 ft.

[@Holler_Rat]

What's the key to making the lineset look good where it enters the unit? That large rectangular knockout seems like it would be difficult to make it look clean.

[@stephenbullock1443]

Nice system I need two of systems on my house.who wants to do the installation.I live in southeast Oklahoma.ohh Curtis super great job on your house

[@AnalogueKid2112]

Don’t know about these, but on Fujitsu you should insulate both lines because the expansion valve is in the outdoor unit. Keep us posted on how it performs

[@HVACGUY]

These don’t require that. The “main” metering device is a TXV in the air handler. I will I’ll probably use this for other videos.

[@scoobtoober2975]

I think all ac units should be 1 foot off the ground to avoid dust, dirt, leaves and snow. Even if you never see snow. Oh and dog pee will eat a coil right quick

[@MariosACandRefrigeration]

Very nice,maybe adding a 10 amp breaker on the disconnect for the AHU.thanks for sharing.

[@billybrown1979]

look like a lot of work. but ya'll got it done before new year. be bless and safe.

[@badopinion]

Super cool to watch you and love your format. I just installed mine and am happy with the performance but I was worried the compressor was hurt. It vibrates on start up and shutdown and makes much more noise than my little .75 ton LG mini split. However, yours sounds like mine so maybe it’s fine. Happy days I hope!

[@jackkreighbaum783]

In 1976, I installed an a/c unit in my bi-level house in Cheyenne, WY. The condenser was on the ground and I purchased approximately 30 feet of precharged line. The condenser and A-coil were also precharged. The system wasn't highly efficient due to the house wasn't really designed for ac, but my wife wasn't able to have the windows open for ventilation. Keeping the fan 'ON' during the summer did make it work. I don't remember the brand or how much our electric bill was over the six years we were there.

[@HVACGUY]

I was born in Cheyenne. Aint much there, but tumbleweeds

[@iamnoone.]

Willy wanka would be proud of the plumbing in that unit

[@TheGgin]

Nice install! We'll see how it lasts to the old Payne Teardrop, for simplicity, hehe. But that's where technology is going these days. Guess I cannot say much either as I replace my simple Heat Pump in 2019 with the ICP/Carrier 5-stage Heat Pump...no issues yet...but yours is simpler as it doesn't require the communicating Thermostat...but I love mine how it maintains temps, etc...keep us posted!

[@stevencossaboon3237]

[@zunar_j5_933]

Nice!

[@johnsont963]

love the pupper !!

[@jt8907]

Hey, I installed one of these (Mr Cool branded) in my house. Horizontal air handler in crawl just like your setup. Love the unit and it has gone thru two summers and winters. Never called for aux heat when in pretty cold temps. Really great. Anyway, I noticed that your coils in the indoor unit have a baffle to keep water from jumping past the pan. Did it come like that? Because mine didn't and the case is wet inside from jumping condensate. Seeing yours made me think Hmmmm, maybe that's what i need. Any knowledge on this? Thanks for posting!

[@briancasey7693]

The Gree looks identical to the Mr Cool, must come from the same factory. They work great for way less than most brands.

[@CoreyMeagher]

All are manufactured by Midea in China. Along with many many other brands. Midea is a huge manufacturer. Their stuff has been quality as far as I have experienced… And I’ve installed dozens of various ductless and ducted mini splits from several different brands(all manufactured by Midea). It’s all been high quality thus far. I find that equipment longevity is all about good/correct installation practices.

[@alexsierra2724]

Nooo, Gree manufactures Mr Cool.

[@CoreyMeagher]

@@alexsierra2724 I stand corrected. Thank you Alex. I was thinking of Alpine Home Air’s Blueridge line…which is Midea.

[@paulpoco22]

I have a Tosot made by Gree. 5 ton

[@gabrielstern4992]

It's identical to the Mr cool universal I just checked my 3 ton condenser and unwrapped temporarily my compressor blanket before wrapping it back up and the compressor says gree on the front. Of the compressor. If you take apart the covers on the condenser it is exactly the same as the gree one I have not yet looked at the circuit bourd yet.

[@donnyjackson1908]

I like it. I’ve been installing some LG ducted air handlers with LG Red heat pumps. I really like them a lot. Starting to make a lot less sense to install traditional unitary systems.

[@HVACGUY]

I agree

[@hvacmike1175]

Single stage equipment for residential application’s will be a thing of the past. The efficiency ratings will require 2 speed or variable speed to meet higher and higher minimum efficiency rating’s. Florida is requiring that GFCI breakers on all variable speed systems.

[@hvactechwanttobe1499]

Curtis would be nice to see the temperature split good job on the install

[@pixelcontrollers]

Thw only thing I have an issue with is the 40A breaker in the disconnect. Max overcurrent protection on the outside unit is spec'd at 35A. A better solution would be to use a 4-space main lug l;oad center as the disconnect with 2 breakers, 30A for the outside and 15A for the inside.

[@f1176]

Great video. I am very interested in the Gree 5 ton heat pump unit. You have used your unit for more than five months now. How has the unit been performing? How are the pros and cons you can share? Would you recommend people to use Gree heat pumps? Will appreciate your input.

[@mikehouser5430]

Looking fresh

[@myfastcars]

Always on the look out for the latest and greatest HVAC System. Can you explain why you chose this system for YOUR home replacement? Advantages?

[@HVACGUY]

Ease of installation, ability to produce high heat at low temps meaning I don’t need heat strips, it actually stops the blower when it goes through defrost, price, and size of company

[@scoobtoober2975]

I just swapped my unit out that looked like that outdoor. Payne 2 ton. Just did an aciq hyper 2 ton. It is QUIET. QUIET you hear that. It may not be a gree but it looks similar in some of the fins, grate and shapes. Get one. Old style ones and their fan and shroud are loud and chopper no matter how you shape it. They have higher static pressure it's trying to chop the air too hard.

[@williammorris5733]

Ask your distributor about the two-copper line-set flex connectors that makes the outside unit connections much easier to hook up. We purchase one for every Gree install and our installers love them.

[@bluedogron]

Are you talking about the pre-charged line sets? Like the MrCool units also have? It seems like Gree might make MrCool units.

I really want to replace my upstairs with a universal setup like this. Just not comfortable with getting the line set up there etc

[@blh3741]

Thanks Curtis! I'm just over a year now with a Fujitsu unit at my own home in Sacramento, Ca.. I'm not totally content with the heat mode for our milder winters. I'm using 15kbtu to cool most of the main floor with 6-9k in each bedroom. The 15k doesn't do as well for heat as I would like so we still use natural gas 35k btu wall furnace to heat. Downstairs stays at around 64* and upstairs 68*-71*. Not a very efficiently insulated 1939 2story home. 1000sqft downstairs and 500sqft upstairs. Finally, no more window shakers!!!! Main floor was cooled with a 24kbtu window unit...oh, the noise! :~( No regrets on the fujitsu for my own home other than I would do Mitsubishi ceiling cassettes next time because of the cleaner look but more $$$. Gree going in my sisters condo in Boise if the HOA gives their blessing. Our house in Jcksonville, NC will be getting a Gree, too unless I find a better deal.

[@HVACGUY]

that doesn’t sound efficient at all. your heat pump may be able to deliver the heat you need. try just turning it up until you feel comfortable. it may be at a temp your not used to. it’s worth a try.

[@Demy26]

Good job

[@jamesfitzsimmons381]

[@throttlebottle5906]

@@jthonn exactly what I tell everyone!

[@davidnull5590]

I'm pretty sure a line voltage over/under monitor performs a different function from a surge protector, they compliment each other. Surge protectors act very rapidly, acting mostly on sudden brief voltage spikes and surges related to lighting, usually surge protectors are sacrificial, protecting the load - sacrificing components in the surge protector in the process. These are two separate, different functions, they complement one another.

[@USA-GreedyMenOfNoIntegrity]

And the RectomSeal one he used has both.

[@arturochapa4704]

[@gabrielstern4992]

Hey Curtis I don't think you realize how many people you just helped by posting your video on the gree flex. And testing it out. As when I first watched 6 months ago I thought the gree flex looked exactly like my Mr cool universal and so to confirm the condenser is the same I just took off the front cover and unwrapped temporarily the compressor blanket and sure enough the compressor said gree on the front. But unlike mr cool gree is not marketing it as a, diy unit. And giving bad install instructions like telling people if you use a conventional line set or braze like you do install a biflow oil filter as I see from your gree you did not need to install one. But telling people if they use the quick connect so called no vac linesets, just hook it up don't vacaum spray actaul soapy water to test for leaks and release the refrigerent. But here's the catch they say no need for a biflow with the quick connect linesets. Ohh and there's more Mr cool says if doing a vacaum don't hook up the high side valve to vac that side out just the low side. Before releasing the refrigerent. When using the conventional braze style line sets like you do. Anyway you may have inadvertently just solved a big problem for many people Including other newer hvac techs. Ohh and is your condenser running on a 30 Amp double pole or 35 Amp or 40. Mine says max fuse or breaker amperage is 35 amps but the panel I have and box is only rated at 30amps along with the breaker in my main panel. I hope that is enough for my condenser to run at startup. Anyway thanks again for posting this install Video as I see pioneer is now marketing one too that seems so eearlily similar to the Mr cool universal series and gree flex wonder if that is a rebadged gree flex too.

If you experience cold weather, and you own a heat pump, you need a backup source of heat. I own an Hvac company, and I still have a propane backup because if the blower motor fails, or the power is out, you hav no heat, obviously.

If no heat strips are installed, when it goes through defrost the blower actually stops so it won’t blow cold air. So you don’t want white hooked up from Tstat. And there was a spot outside for G. So I Thought why not hook them both up. I can jump system out from outside.

It can produce 95 degree air all the way down to zero degrees

[@jackl9922]

That’s great. Guess good in your climate. We heat with gas, but at night turn the furnace way down. Too cold for me, so I run oil filled electric radiator in the bedroom. Is it cheaper? Who knows. My last electric bill was $185, gas bill $95. Unfortunately, use resistance heat in garage, and shop when I use it. Also, heat garage to 75 as I like it warmer than wife does. I’m considering buying the tools to do a mini split heat pump in the garage. I do not want the Mr Cool crap. That means buying vacuum pump, flaring tools, and gauges. If successful, save a lot.

@@HVACGUY Thank You Sir

[@bryanrogers77]

Can we get some temp readings this thing is pushing out at the registers etc? Size of unit? Sorry if I missed it. What size amp did you use? Wondering if a 2-3 ton unit will run mostly in 3 ton mode on 30 amp breaker?

[@Austin23191]

Why pump the old unit down? The refrigerant needs to be recovered later before it can be scrapped anyway

[@jeraldlockhart2046]

Was probably quicker he didn’t want to do that for the video. Not to mention he could give the unit to somebody that may need it instead of scrapping it for nothing❤

[@michaelgonzales803]

Hey Curtis nice video! So that 3 ton gree is for your whole house or do you have another system around there?

Hey Curtis, is that a tankless water heater next to your heat pump?

[@HVACGUY]

Yes

[@joeclark9042]

Hey bro I know this is a stupid question but I'm going to ask anyways what kind of watch do you have on I like that in the arm strap you got that's pretty cool can you help me out and give me some information I appreciate it I like to get me one thank you

[@anthonybernier9952]

If you had the choice or a Gree mini split or a rheem mini split what would you recommend?

[@patricspointofview7188]

Why aren't you using heat strips?

[@HVACGUY]

Produces 95 degree air down below zero degrees, and blower stops when going through defrost - if no heat strips are installed - so I don’t need them. Our lowest temps around here are 17 degrees, and it rarely goes below freezing.

[@snidelywhiplash8923]

How many tons or BTUs (heating and cooling, if different) is that hardware? Thanks

[@HVACGUY]

3 tons

[@kennethnapier131]

I just started watching this, did you rotate the condesate pan before going under the house and did you add the electric heat strips?

[@robertgwalsh5878]

Your house could use a pressure washing.
