AMAZON Ductless Mini-Split - Installed by a PRO

[@AndrewGalvan-g5q]

Clean work learned a lot, I like this video format doesn't spend 5 minutes of it talking about promotions but actually shows the work. Sponsors are obviously there but the process and work is the focus enjoyed watching

[@robalexander7348]

A nice job Zac, the most neat install i've seen completed in 8 min 30s 😉 Au

[@Anthony-nr1nd]

I have done a few off brand installs and I always make sure that the clients are aware that yes I can do the install no problem but no warranty at all. I didn’t order the unit from my dealer so no parts can be covered and I can’t get compensated for a warranty replacement. Most of the time I get the same answer like the units were cheap enough that if they had any issues they would just buy a whole new replacement unit. So I did the install just like any other job it turned out like this clean, neat and fairly easy. I have to say tho the unit that I installed was pretty much the same as like a Mitsubishi, or Fujitsu so I had complete confidence in that it was going to work and operate like it should but I am more concerned about the longevity and reliability of the unit. I still keep in contact with that client and he claims he had no issues with it so far and it’s been 4 years. I guess the point of this video was to show us installers that it doesn’t matter the brand it’s the process once you know what to do and learn how to do it, it generally applies for anything. Good job I always like your videos and I was a follower of you from the very beginning I believe we started the HVAC trade at the same time I forgot from your first video. Very cool to see. How do you get customers permission to record tho all your jobs? I have had so many jobs that would make a great video about but I couldn’t record anything I don’t know what to say or how to approach it?

[@vincentgelles3805]

I promise you that piece of garbage is nowhere near the quality of a Mitsubishi. None of the off brand garbage is. I’ve installed a few for customers and there is a reason they are a fraction of the price of the top brands and it’s because it’s a fraction of the quality. I don’t really like mini splits much to begin with anyway. It’s just a glorified window unit and they are a bitch to clean the blower wheels and coils. Ducted is the way to go period. You want an inverter? Spend the money on a ducted split heat pump or dual fuel depending on your climate. I live in heat pump land so it’s 99 percent heat pump here

Any input on MrCool diy units ? I am electrician by trade . I do hvac controls so we often run control wiring to mini splits in electrical room and idf server rooms . I have seen Mitsubishi, Daikan , Fujitsu , LG mostly . I have read a lot of mini splits all are produced by a few different manufacturers. I think plan to install Mr Cool ina ADU 500sq ft unit . The reason being I can get it at Costco and DIY .

[@fiehlsport]

Easy day’s work. I love doing 1:1 units like this, especially when the electrical panel is so close. Didn’t even need a disconnect since it was within 6 feet!! I’ve had bad luck using the putty to seal the penetration - it shrinks, and then air/bees get in the house. Been using spray foam ever since.

[@capelookouttuber2854]

Bought my first mini-split four years ago, took months to find any HVAC company to install it. Just had my second installed several months ago. I don't understand why HVAC professionals are so hesitant to install these units. After watching Zack, I hope you professionals are changing your views on these systems. I follow most of the HVAC YT channels and really appreciate the challenging work you do. Both my systems had a one-year warranty from the company but required professional install which my HVAC company installed both.

[@machaf]

They're hesitant because they can't mark them up 10x the price.

[@Pacman2403]

probably cause parts are hard to come by no guarantee after install.

[@i.r.mrefrigeracion9985]

Cuánto se cobra por un trabajo así en USA?

[@Kiddfamous]

@@machafmaybe for some. But for me, I’m charging my labor the same rather I buy the unit or you. That’s where we make our money.

[@HVACRTECH-83]

Nice job bro, alot of people cant afford anything with the word itsu in it these days,gotta keep that money rolling in,at least you did it all rite. I used to refuse these jobs about 5 years and more ago, times are changing, gotta do what you gotta do to stay in the game. I would never recommend any of these units though lol

[@Samlol23_drrich]

What a great video. Even a surge protector. Nice editing also.

[@ppump24valve53]

I’ll take my ducted system over these mini splits.. got 1 installed a year ago at our shop, it’s always turning on n off under 30*. Runs for less then a minute n shuts off for 3 minutes. Got a new Inverter heat pump installed at my house, last month, works great at 20* has defroster, only takes a minute to defrost, n it runs over an hour or more till it defrosts again, depending on humidity. No holes on my siding, or on my wall. Went through my crawl space with the lineset. Super clean, n I wanted it this way so I could replace my siding this year.

[@zachball9351]

Sounds like the unit at the shop is just a crappy unit. Reputable mini splits, installed properly, are awesome

[@davidwillkomm3484]

Sounds like either a blockage or they did not leak check before opening the valves. My mini I installed myself works great for my add on bedroom . Quiet too, and super efficient. I also put one in my buddies mobile home heats and cools most of his place and dropped his bill 100. He had two windows units before . It practically paid for itself in 7 months . Each setup calls for different units I guess . You could get some to check the charge.

[@marvinsellers4457]

Great Job Hoss

[@lillyinthefield2787]

U always make everything look so easy bru😢😢😢 truly. Gifted🎉

[@sumokid]

I’ve installed a lot of the cheaper mini splits. IMO they are just as good as name brand. I’ve had to repair more daikin mini splits than anything.

[@lancelot2224]

Nice work sir.. Very clean..👍

[@speckulator7516]

I have done two for someone who bought them on Ebay that shipped out of Mexico and didn’t even do Fahrenheit on the remote. A brand name I have never heard. I did one first and he liked it so much he bought another one and had me come back and install it too. They do nothing but blow cold air ever since. I also did two heat pumps for another guy who bought them from Amazon. Same thing he tried one and liked it, had me do another. Solved his problem of the rooms he added on always being hot or cold in the wrong season. At least these did Fahrenheit. Same thing, a brand name i had never heard and no trouble since. We just got it straight up front that I wasn’t warranting anything and maybe I could get parts later, maybe not. Both said they were cheap enough they would throw them away and buy more if they had trouble down the road. I was just a little worried if they had a problem out of the box but both agreed it would be their problem to send it back. Edited for typo

[@gi7892]

As someone who would be happy with that arrangement and cant find anyone, Thank you. I ended up doing it myself. I just wanted someone who knew what they were doing to connect the lines torque them properly and check for leaks. I did it myself and it wasn't that hard but I would have happily paid half the cost of the unit just to double check my work.

[@fiehlsport]

The Chinese units are impressive when installed correctly, at least from a reliability perspective. Temperature control isn’t great, but you get what you pay for. Was the brand “Aux” by any chance?

[@billcv80]

Respect. Clean install.

[@pitaeata8493]

nuff said. perfect job.

[@kui5587]

Professional!!!

[@buds302]

Of all the tools you listed... you didnt list that little table you have. Id like to pick one up as we all know there is no where to put your tools except on the customers equipment or the ground. Thats a pretty handy piece of kit.

[@ADVANHVAC]

Yes, I would also like to know where he got this table as well! This is slick!

[@elitespartan4085]

I’ve seen those little tables at Home Depot. Dewalt makes them. His is more lite but the dewalt is heavy duty.

[@brian2coolful]

Amazon got it “DEWALT DWST11556 Express Folding Workbench”

[@ADVANHVAC]

@ I just ordered 2 from the depot! Thanks.

What's that long wrench he's using at 3:34?

[@JesseDoesHVAC]

WHAT WAS THAT CUTTER TOOL FOR THE PLASTIC DUCT COVERS?

[@aihf3063]

Where did u buy that line cover 4 inch

[@Climaster]

Super pretty . Like Zack’s way . What brand is that pump ?

[@musicnerd72]

Nice job. Never heard of Della before. Are they made by one of the more familiar companies with just a different nameplate slapped on there?

[@davids970]

Doesn’t CO2 put moisture in the lineset We use Daiken and when installed properly, they’re awesome

[@JesseDoesHVAC]

Its nitrogen homie

[@davids970]

@ the top looks like a co2 tank 👍

[@summertop511]

Min lineset? Triple evac?

[@CrazeCali]

Are you gonna be at AHR In Orlando?

[@JoseCarlos-ti7so]

parabéns, ótima instalação

[@vSeabass]

5:39 dam I suck I cut the vacuum at 500 microns every install and have done so for 6 yrs now 😐

[@TheKjowrph]

Under the dryer vent?

[@zman0900]

That's the water heater exhaust

wheres the audio description over the video

[@lillyinthefield2787]

God had a hvac baby when u were born😊

[@ivanarenas2537]

Muy buen trabajo

[@Astro_Zombie92]

Most units have a minimum 10ft line set

[@ivanl8613]

Did you cut the line set?

[@chrisbivens5410]

I’d say yes since part of the video he’s using an awesome flaring tool.

[@ivanl8613]

@ you are right

[@victorhugorengifomera6517]

Great job and the cost for installation

[@fiehlsport]

Probably $1500-2500 if I had to guess, since he’s running a business.

[@robertgregory2618]

@@fiehlsport That would be a total rip off for a 6-7 hour install...I bought a Goodman built by Daiken 12000 for $625 total . Paid a perfectionist pro to install for $725. I could of done labor myself with you-tube out there, but i am disabled and old.. It's not rocket science.

[@richardthomas1743]

Hello and thumbs UP!!!!

TOP

[@68larva]

What a cool daddy Zac!!! Something moved him when you uploaded this video that does not allow me to watch it with Spanish-language substituting. As always very well he worked as an entire HVAC master, clean, neat, constructive for all entrepreneurs and enthusiasts as well as for all technicians who can observe new things methods and applications always proving to be up to date in tools and applications to facilitate the work. Congratulations great friend, we are waiting for you in Mexico. I am Caesar jejeje 😂

[@c_young-hvac4586]

Put a couple Mr cools in .... wasn't a fan of the pre charges lines with that connection ....leaving lines long and tucked away is not appealing ....first and last time doing that brand

[@SpeedyA0704]

Man would like to work under your wing.

[@AaronPowellvox]

I bet that vacuum cycle took 2.5 seconds.

[@fiehlsport]

Seriously. Down to 98 micron in 1 minute with that setup😂

[@TheDoghigh]

did 1 for my grandma easy

Bro really sprayed semen to test for bubbles

But why? Things slow or this a paid promotion. Either way it’s a shame

[@beaubridgeman5522]

If you owned a 900sqft home in Florida would you install you basic home ac unit or mini split? I hear the mini splits are way more efficient but my 14 year old payne still work great.

[@brian2coolful]

Ductless are good a particular area you want to condition not unless you getting multi zone ductless … I’d recommend a central air conditioner if you got a bath , kitchen, bedroom, closet , living area to be condition

[@Liam25025]

Im so interested in HVAC man. I'm already a qualified plumber but I'm thinking of going to school for HVAC since I'm recovering from a back injury anyway and have some time. Do you think 39 is too old to start in the trade?
