Mr Cool Universal Connections | Set-up and Connect Mr Cool Heat Pump

After one full year & having crunched the numbers to see how our Mr Cool Universal Heat Pump performed in the winter and the summer combined we are ready to install another new MrCool Universal Heat Pump and show all the connections in detail. We connect the HVAC, The drain line, the quick connect no-vac refrigerant lines, and the wiring.
Our goal was to install this Mr Cool Heat pump and save thousands of dollars over having a typical HVAC company come in and install a heat pump. #mrcooluniversal #heatpumpinstall #mr.cooluniversal #heatpumpvsairconditioner

FOR WINTER: (from the winter review video)
The winter performance results after installing the MrCool Universal in early fall. We previously had a gas furnace. When the A/C condenser died, we opted to install a MrCool universal heat pump with quick connect lines. Because we saved so much money on the Heat Pump, we were expecting that the additional heating costs from relying on electricity would not be too great.
Because Mr Cool Universal Heat Pump uses inverter technology, we could have the heat pump heat our mid western house without the need of a heat strip.
Heat pumps are awesome air conditioning solutions. But what about cold temperatures?
This video will show all our 1st winter costs.
We installed a Mr. Cool Universal heat pump to be our air conditioning and heating solution. Of course you would think Mr Cool air conditioning. But Mr Cool for heat? YES! Mr cool heat pump air conditioner all in one.
The Mr. Cool Universal uses a quick connect no-vac line set combined with an inverter system to bring economy to your wallet as well as the installation! Inn this video we show how we installed this heat pump as an answer to how 20 year air conditioner woes.
The pre-charged line set takes away a lot of the installation head aches and expense making this heat pump an attractive solution for the consumer. Though the Mr Cool Universal is not sold as a DIY heat pump, it is nearly easy enough to be a DIY heat pump install.
Mr Cool has also documented how their Mr Cool Universal Heat Pump can heat when temperatures are below zero without using a supplemental heat strip!
FOR SUMMER: (From Summer Review Video)
Here are the summer performance results after installing the Mr Cool Universal in early fall. We previously had a gas furnace. When the A/C condenser died, we opted to install a MrCool Universal heat pump with quick connect line set.
Heat pumps are awesome air conditioning solutions. We were expecting to realize some savings having the Mr Cool Universal to replace our old AC set-up.

As always, another great video on the Mr Cool system. I always learn something.

[@Housebarons]

Hey George, Thx for the kind words!

[@ronhedin6179]

Does it not mention the proper wiring with out heat strip in the insulation manual?

[@timsmith4519]

For your drain line, you just need to remove a rubber plug not the whole rubber part.

[@simengineering9183]

Great video, I Need help on the wiring. 2-3 ton heat pump with backup heat strip to a Honeywell smart thermostat. 🙏🙏 System won't start

[@Housebarons]

Just in case you didn’t see this video : MrCool Universal Heat Pump Wiring Connection without heat strip : Nest or Honeywell to heat pump kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4SvpYuol7inrLM Hope that helps.

How many watts of power is typically used in your universal 2-3 ton unit? I have the emporia energy monitor and on my existing 15 year old York heat pump and air handler it’s constant 2000 watts for condenser and 850 watts for the air handler. I’m thinking of proactively installing the 2-3 ton Mr cool universal and was wondering if you would be able to share real world energy usage.

[@Housebarons]

Hey mwel…, Max, the air handler can do like 5000 watts. But I’m not sure my experience will map to yours because the variable from house to house vary so much. I would compare efficiency rating. My heat pump rarely runs non-stop at full 5000 watts for an hour…. - it has to be below zero F ( and even so we DO NOT have a heat strip.) My 20 yr old gas furnace was 10 seer in winter and the new heat pump is the same. So the winter is not where we save. The summer rating is 18 seer.. that’s where we really save. We too have an energy monitor and the coldest day this winter so far used 34 kWH of electric for the day by the air condenser and 1.5 kWh for the air handler total for the day. The air handler is light on electric use.

Thx for watching

Drain -- missing p-trap.

[@juanzuniga6387]

That unit heat too?? Or have to bay gas furnace??????

[@michaelopry3456]

depends if you get the heat pump or cooling only condenser. the heat pump has a reversing valve that runs the unit in winter, heats at 100% of capacity down to 5 degrees below freezing. Supposed to still have 75% heating capacity at 22 degrees below freezing. Ours heats just as well in winter as it does cooling off the house in summer. Pretty satisfied with it.

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Housebarons]

Thx so much Ron!

[@Jacobdye10]

I love seeing all the crying hvac guys in the comments 😂

[@Housebarons]

Yes- technology keeps progressing - makes their job easier and easier to do. I’d be scared too if that was my income. But in reality - most people prefer to have things done for them IF they could care less about saving money.

[@jessebrown5715]

Right? Nobody cares guys, why are y'all even here watching? Need to learn something?

[@Growzarktrail]

Using vice grips, when you should be using adjustable wrench, and not Teflon taping the PVC male you screwed into the air handler unit drain, shows you are a DIY homeowner. Stay away from HVACR.

[@johnhogan3810]

The whole point of this system is for DIY. Why else would you care about no evacuation or brazing of fittings.

[@ThatGuy-zu7ze]

Those DYI houses are horrible it's better to pay someone to make that connection. "Bendable" my butt

[@Housebarons]

They really are made to bend. Filling the instructions…. Thx for watching!

[@xxCHOCHANEGRAxx]

Terrible brand.
