[@sterzian241]

Hey thanks a lot for the video! Do you recommend getting a foam sealent instead of the clayish material supplied with the ac?

[@keithpizano1741]

How has it held up since you installed it?

[@doublewide6]

@@keithpizano1741 Not any problems with the unit it has been great. I'm putting one in the bedroom too. Amazon did a great job shipping I would order from them again because they included liftgate delivery service for free.

After a year only 460k views and only 4.6k likes. Come on guys. Who else on KZbin can explain better than him for DIYer? Thank u sir! Your video helps a lot of home owners! Including me!😁😁😁

[@adamthomas425]

Do NOT use a soap solution. That can contaminate the system.

[@miguelmarrero2919]

This is by far the best split ac video on the internet. I don't think anyone has done a better job on breaking down the steps to this installation. Great job. Thank you!

[@Harolddespui]

Yeah, especially how easy vacuming is. All other video's make it rocket science.

[@HappyMemoriesFoto]

When I saw how long this video was I said no way I'm watching it. But when my unit came and I tried to read the manual I realized it wouldn't be as simple as I had expected and decided to reconsider my stance on long videos. Your explanation was a huge help. Also, special thank you for the list of supplies.

[@prayertool]

You deserve every accolade you have received. I learned more in the last few minutes alone than in all the other hours of research on KZbin. I’m closing in on “geezer” status but your video and especially tool recommendations have given me the confidence to proceed. I have the Senville Leto 24,000 ordered and it should be here in 10 days or so. I, also, have oversized (never regretted doing so at any time in the past) so we will see. I am using your video solely for my install and will probably watch daily till my unit comes in. Thank you so much.

[@rodsane8253]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I found this video very helpful as I installed my own Senville 9000 BTU unit.

[@antraciet]

All the parts together, very good. I learned a lot, esp the vacuum part. Thanks.

[@doublewide6]

Good to hear.

[@davidstoleson792]

I have watched this video several times and will be using it as a reference as I install a mini split in my house next week. Same company and product, except mine is dual zone which means I get to do everything twice. If it goes well I'll install another unit in my studio as well. Thanks for the excellent video and detailed step by step instructions. Wish me luck!

[@BubaJ1000]

Just finished mine up. Thank you for the vid. Can't believe how quiet these units are.

[@hayah333]

Thanks for this video. I learned a lot from it. I bought Mr. cool 1800 BTU advantage serious. When I ordered it I thought that this is the one that you do it yourself DIY. All the videos on KZbin is related to the DIY. Your video is the only one that I was able to find that gives you detailed info regarding the Advantage series. I did some mistakes initially as I connected the copper tubes before I pass in the wires through the wall conduit. After I saw your video I had to redo the whole thing again. I installed the inside unit and outside unit and I ordered the adapter that will connect the gauge to my outdoor unit and also I ordered the sealant I am impressed by the way that you’re able to Bury the line in the ground I wish that you live close by I will let you take care of this job and I will pay you for your work Just by watching this video I got the impression that you are a nice and sincere person who is eager to help others like me May God bless you and keep up with this great work

[@KS-gf3tv]

This is a really helpful video. Actually makes me think I could pull this off.

You da MAN!!!!! I’ve acquired alot of knowledge from your video my friend. I’m a construction contractor with two companies to my name and also an A/C Apprentice but I’ve never installed a mini split before. Thanx again for your helpful videos my friend. Looking forward to see more👍🏼😃💪🏼💪🏼 so keep up the good work.

[@umaharaj]

Very nicely done and informative. I am in the process of doing my own install and this gave me the courage to proceed, Thank you

[@wlondoner]

excellent video. Thanks for your time. I am not an aircon guy. Everything was clear until minute 32 where you shut off the low side and you left the yellow line connected to the vacuum pump. if you did that, you have isolated the gauges from the system, of course the needle wont badge therefore the system isn't under test

Super descriptive and easy to follow video with a detailed step by step installation process, thanks!!

[@jesstheheathen]

Good video man. Appreciate the time you put into it. I'm about to install 2 Mini Splits this weekend. I was a Journeyman Electrician in CO for 15 years, so that part is no problem for me. The parts of your video that cover vacuuming and charging the lines were especially helpful and exactly what I was looking for.

[@Akadectra]

Thank you for this great video. Greetings from Germany - Bavaria. I will install an unit tomorrow.

[@westhavenor9513]

Thank you! That was great info. Just bought an 18k unit for my garage as well. I want the outdoor unit in a specific spot, so I'll just adjust the location on the air handler so as to utilize the entire line set so I can avoid the issue you ran into--although you did an excellent job of concealing the extra line.

[@SparkeyCox]

Thank you! My install worked great. I was nervous - cause I have never done this. Yup - homeowner here and now have another skill.

[@davidgraumlich7745]

Nice Job! I have watched a few install videos and yours was extremely well done and informative. I got a few good ideas from this. thx

[@PhilSoussanOfficial]

Thanks for making this video. I bought a Senville unit just like yours. I had bought one before in my last place, when the units went under the name of Shinco and it was a great unit so I had no hesitance in buying this one. One problem that I wanted to share, and for which I found a solution... When you install the right angle drain under the 12,000 btu model compressor it extends down too far! If you place the unit on a flat slab floor, the feet will no longer touch the ground. You therefore have to raise the unit on some blocks or something of the sort. After hunting around with various options I came across a genial idea - In the plumbing aisle fo the local HD I found some 3" ABS Cleanout Plugs - for about $1.80 each. These make perfect raised feet! They are strong, and you can drill a hole thought them for mounting. I even cut the rubber shock mounts to shape and sandwiched them between the feet and the top of the plugs. The effect is to raise the compressor about 2" - perfect to accommodate the drain outlet under the unit! Cheers!

[@bradrolleri2909]

Thank you! I just bought one and the HVAC company quoted me $14000 for a dual zone! I'm attempt this on my own. I'm here for the vacuum instructions.

[@davidmessenger7538]

Thanks for doing this video! Great job and I am much less apprehensive about doing this myself. I've had my shop wired to install one of these for several years but had not had the nerve to actually get it and install it.

[@chrislef5045]

Fantastic Video, this combined one or any of the 3 individual parts you also uploaded. Great! Even if the experts have pointed out a few minor misgivings in the techniques used, it is a great educational video, well detailed and clear to understand. I'd like to understand more about the Use of Each of the 4 Valve Knobs on the manifold. -Chris

Great job and very very good information. I did not go with the local business because they want to install Mitsubishi only. Thanks again!!

[@VikingsFan27]

Great video! This solidified it for me about doing it myself vs. Hiring it done. Well done.

[@ian.lwilson7156]

Really good instructions. Im an electrician/ technician. You made it look easy!

[@ryanmoore3123]

Just curious? Would I need to run my electrical first or last on a install like this?

[@jimonqa]

Great video, thanks! I had a Mitsubishi installed, which I later added a WIFI module to that connects to a dedicated electrical port. That allows me to control my unit remotely. I use this on a cabin and turn on the A/C before traveling up to there. My lineset is about 35 feet, which runs through an attic crawlspace then down to the soffit to get outside... not something I wanted to do myself. He had to solder the lines to get enough length. Anyway, I'm impressed and grateful for the video!

[@Skelch777]

Thank you so much!! This is a great how to, great ideas with the lines! I'm doing this with the same unit. I appreciate your time you put into this.

[@bertcarrier3520]

Thanks for the video. Finally someone explains how to purge the system with a vacuum pump without trying to obfuscate or hide the ball. Great job!

[@doublewide6]

Thanks, No issues what so ever with this unit. I use it all the time for heat and I bought it for mainly AC. Go figure.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

We just had the 2 ton unit installed by a local HVAC person. He didn't break the bank. We had power ,slab poured and unit waiting. Will check back and see how yours is doing. And great video on your installation .. 🙂

As humid as it's been this summer I'd say that was good timing in order to get your moneys worth. Nice job with the installation of the unit. -Glen

Excellent video! Very clear. Thank you! I might get that nylon gel for the connections. I had to flare the tubes myself but it looked good. I guess it won't hurt to double check. Thanks for the video though!!

[@abbasaminmansour8674]

Thank you for your thorough and clear explanations. Got me going!

[@FabtecS5]

Pretty good video, just a couple things you might want to correct though. During your leak test you pulled the vacuum on the system and said if there is a leak you would use a soap solution on the joints to find out where its leaking. That would be true if you were pressurizing the system not putting a vacuum on the system - unless you have a way of looking inside the line for soap bubbles ;-). Also you said they use an inverter system to take AC power and change it to DC to run the system. Inverters take DC and change it to AC. I think you mean't they use a rectifier system to change the the AC to DC. I would recommend torquing the joints to the specified torque - I don't think most folks know how strong they are when it comes to tightening bolts and these fittings are brass. You can strip them easier than steel which is what most people are use to wrenching on. Other than that I think your video was very good and most people would have a successful install if they followed it. Good job.

[@toddchalmers3083]

good point, blow air into it so it will bubble, thanks

[@nightshade3210]

Great video. I needed help with the vacuum process and this video saved my ass thanks!!

Agree with all the comments. Doublewide, you rock. Such good information. Plus having the links below. You gave me the confidence to do it myself. Everyone, keep in mind that all the senville units are not two be wired 240. The smaller units are 120. Read the electrical specs carefully.

Thank you for making this video I am not a heating and cooling guy but over the winter installed a New 90 plus furnace now I am attempting to install the AC Unit have the electrical part done now have to run the Line set. I will use your video as a reference. Good Job.

[@Jdrichardson35christ]

Mini splits are much different than a traditional split system. You will need a vacuum pump gauges with low loss fittings, welding torch, nitrogen purge, you'll have to install an evap coil on the furnace and reconfigure plenum and ducts. Keep in mind your ducts will need larger capacity than may be installed if you have a heat only system, also ducts must be insulated to ensure no condensation on the bare metal. Welding you can also dmg components be sure to put wet rags on the piping to prevent heat getting to the sensing bulb on the indoor coil and the valves on the condenser failing to do so and overheating can cause bulb and valve failure. Releasing the refrigerant and working on the hoses can be very dangerous, handling this without proper license can result in 20k fines if you get caught, keep in mind you cant even buy refrigerant without it, most 410 condensers come with enough for 15 feet of lines anything over that will need more added. It really isnt a diy type of thing but if you have a mechanical background and dont value your time very much you can get it done. By the time you buy everything and factor in your wasted time you could spend making money doing whatever it Is you do. Anything can be done yourself just a question of how much you value your time and also do you actually think you can do a professional job from watching a few videos? I'd love to watch you attempt it. Let us know how it goes

[@MakingBusinessesBetterAgain]

Best Mini Split video hands down, I've watched too many to keep count. Wish you could have detailed more about the torque job, minus using a torque wrench, I'm installing mine as we speak or as I type, that is my only worry or concern in my install currently. Also, my only suggestion to anyone reading, ALWAYS run your refrigerant lines on the side that they are on, just add the 90 degree bend and run them directly out the hole you just drilled. DO NOT try to bring your refrigerant line in the hole, then connect and create a 90 degree .... I started that route and closed that whole up and went the simple route, i wasted 3 hours trying that direction and was left repairing a wall. Keep it simple

No bubbles from soap and water. When the system is in vacuum. 33:00. Vacuum will suck the soap and water in. And make soap bubbles inside the pipeline.

@@adamrspears1981 Considering I can replace it 3 times for the price of having it installed by a professional I will take my chances with out a warranty :-)

[@marcoavila2426]

@@adamrspears1981 He may have misspoke but he didn't actually show or state that he looked for vacuum leaks by the soapy water test. I think most DIY people that attempt this level of project would realize he meant a bubble test for leaks once the system was pressurized. It is true that this unit requires professional install or it voids warranty but warranties with even professional installs are so difficult to claim and this unit carries a short warranty (longer on the compressor) with parts only so either way it's going to cost you plenty. I'm for anyone that can install one of these systems on their own with good self training and research.
