Ceiling Cassettes Verses Wall mount air handler

[@lukefarmer5391]

110v and 220v will use the same power and thus your electric bill will be the exact same for both voltages. The difference is you are sharing voltage on two conductors instead of all on one. So 7amps on line 1 and 7amps on line 2 = 14amps for a 220v. Or 14amps on 110v. You get charged the same. 220 will usually be more efficient due to power losses in wire so 220 is the way to go if Possible.

[@DonBarthel]

Yes, you are right, the power is the same even if the amperage is double for the 120 volt. And you are paying for power. The losses in the wire are negligible if you have properly rated or over rated (i.e. larger gauge) wire. From my point of view, the only benefit to 240 volt is that you don't need as beefy a wire, since the thickness of wire is specified by amperage. The downsides to 240 volt is that you need two breaker slots in your panel instead of one, and the breaker is a bit more expensive since it's a double wide.

[@24vignettes94]

You're kind of right, Luke. If you measure current on the neutral wire in the 120V, you will have 14A and 0 volts. A better way of looking at it is P=I*E. Voltage drop isn't as big an issue since these types of units do not create huge inrush current and most of the 120V rated units are small with a relatively low current draw.

[@rentvesting]

I understand the 220v is more efficient for the machine and will work better and last longer?

[@PaulPaid]

@@rentvesting More efficient, yes. Better? Longer? About the same.

[@thomgt4]

That's wrong. Power is voltage times current. 220v vs 110v has half the current. If the current was the same, the power would be double...

[@jasonhale7126]

Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) kzbin.infoUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.

[@user-xj6be2kv8n]

Hi, Thank you for your excellent video on ceiling cassette mini-split systems! We recently installed multiple ceiling cassette mini-split units in our home. These units operate with water heated by a gas boiler in the winter and cooled by a heat pump in the summer. Each unit’s temperature is controlled with a wireless remote. The issue we are encountering is as follows: When we set a temperature on the remote (e.g., 22°C) while the room temperature is around 19°C, the unit cycles on and off a few times until the room reaches the set temperature. However, once the desired temperature is reached, the unit continues to run at a low fan speed without shutting off, even when no additional heating is needed. At this point, the airflow feels slightly cool, although the unit maintains the room temperature at 22°C. This continuous operation is particularly bothersome at night, as the unit is in the bedroom, and even the low fan level disrupts sleep. Our contractor has informed us that this is normal behavior for these systems, as they are designed to maintain the set temperature by running continuously. My questions are: 1) Is continuous fan operation a standard design feature of ceiling cassette mini-split systems to maintain the set temperature? 2) Would switching to a wall thermostat instead of the wireless remote potentially resolve this issue? Your thoughts and recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, MB

[@chggg]

The 220V version is a little more efficient than the 110V version, however the 110V version will not cost twice as much. The 110V version uses twice the amperage at half the voltage. Watts = Volts x Amps, so the wattage usage is mostly the same. Your power bill is charged by the kilowatt hour, not the amp hour. That being said I also prefer the 220V version when possible.

[@YWAM_Merida]

you are correct in that because your pay for KW the difference in amp would not make much difference, but you can only buy 120V up to 1 ton or 12,000 btus

[@nwredneckturner1508]

Just an fyi from an HVAC contractor: the vent for the condensate drain goes AFTER the p-trap. The whole point of the trap is to prevent air from the attic or other unconditioned space pulling into the unit adding load and possibly preventing the water from draining properly.

Throwing in 2 cents, a vent's first purpose is to protect the trap (from siphoning).

True, the 220 volt units are more efficient, but I have 2) 110 volt units because of power limitations, and my power bill went down, they are very efficient even though 220 volt units are better. I have found that the difference in these units from 220 or 110 is very low.

[@scupking]

I have a ranch and went with 2 12,000 btu 110 wall units 2 years ago. I have one at the end of my hallway (takes care of all the bedrooms and main part of the house and one in the living room). My first floor is fairly open and these 2 units work fantastic! I can even leave my 3 season room open most of the time unless it gets above 90 out. With the 3 season room closed I can keep the house around 70 even when it's 100 out!

Anyone with just a little DIY skill can easily install these. The rates the 'pros' charge are pure robbery and there is no way to justify the cost.

Cassettes will also fit in between 2 foot on center joist. Cassettes also use a radial fan which needs no cleaning as compared to a long squirrel cage and is much quieter. We always use a double flare like you would use on your brakes especially when using the preinsulated line sets as they are only half the thickness of Type L tubing. The 120 units only go to 12k but if we are in a gas home with no other 240 appliances we will offer the 120 to keep the cost of the generator down. Once you step up to a 240 inverter generator you double the price and if all you need is 1 small mini split it is worth staying with 120 volt. Good video thanks.

Can you get units without condensate pumps?

[@theElderberryFarmer]

The integrated condensate pump in the ceiling cassette surely makes installation easier - but I'd want to know how difficult/costly it is to replace. Nothing lasts forever, so if getting the condensate pump replaced is a huge job, that makes a ceiling cassette way less attractive to me.

@@TaddyDigest Good that it isn't a big deal - but I'll bet that replacing an external failed condensate pump is easier. And from a homeowner's perspective, I am sure it is cheaper. ;-) Of course, gravity condensation removal is the best by far when you can go that route.

My outreach teams are very happy with the comfort of the dorms. Here I am using AUX Brand, but they are different than what is available in the USA, I don't think I would buy AUX USA models, and I don't think they even sell the cassettes in the US, it appears that they are making lesser grade Wall Units for cheap sell in the US. I like Taddy's comments on not self-installing, a lot of people do that here, they don't vac down the lines, and on hot days, which is the norm here, it will not cool properly, There are many people that I have discharged, vaced down and recharged and they are surprised of the difference, and their electric bill also drops.

Between the two of these options, which one would you choose for a rental property? I am not as concerned about the cost difference as I am about neglectful tenants.

Here is my problem. I am having our covered patio enclosed as a sunroom in a few months (the company is extremely backlogged). It will have 3 sections of glass (transom, windows, kick glass) covering all the way from top to bottom with no room (maybe 4 inches to ceiling) so there is no room to mount the standard mini split anywhere. The sunroom will also be enclosed on both sides. So the only places left to install one would be against the brick on the back of the house. Then the lineset and drainage would have to go up into the attic and over and out to the unit. Since drainage would go up I would need the condensate pump. The area where these lines would have to go is where the roof slants down and there is no room for anyone to work in easily. I can't seem to find a dealer who wants to tackle it. The ceiling cassette option has a similar problem. There are lots of rafters all over and the contractor says a sizeable square would have to be cut out for the unit, which would compromise the roof structure and they wouldn't want that responsibility. Im almost wishing I would have went with a PTAC unit and just live with the noise and the view it would block. Can you think of any other solutions? Thanks.

[@coolsheatingacservices7375]

Is the main board bad , to reset the remote control setting. Thanks

Would you recommend a roof mounted cassette or cassettes for a food truck/trailer? I’m building a wood fire pizza food trailer for use in Florida. Enclosed space is 15’ x 8’ and 9’ high. I like the idea of a roof mount so I have more wall space for shelving. Power is not an issue, it’ll be plugged in to shore power and stay put all the time. I trust your knowledge and experience, I’d be grateful for any advice you can share. Thank you

[@TaddyDigest]

Depends on if you have an upspace it can't be mounted outside if you know what I mean.

[@douglester147]

Thanks for getting back to me, you weren’t lying, you really do respond to all the comments. I’ve seen a cassette installed where they constructed a metal cover over the top to protect it. If this was your call, would you do a wall mount over the cassette with a metal cover? Also what size would you suggest for a 120 square foot (9’ tall) food truck?

[@douglester147]

I sent you a little token of appreciation on your Patreon.

Is a mini split cheaper comparison to a traditional hvac in terms of electricity bills?

[@leonardsanders449]

I brought my unit off line and can not find any one to service to you have any recommendations Savannah GA area

[@Dreygonfleye]

Looking into getting the ceiling cassettes for my whole house. Have you worked with Electric companies for rebates? I'm currently researching which ones qualify for the Fed Tax Credit.

[@TaddyDigest]

Yes there are good rebates for equipment that has high efficiency levels.

[@Tilly_Moments]

Great info. I have a flat roof above my ceiling, are there any issues? I assume there are more than 22" between ceiling studs, so ceiling min split fits in without removing support studs. Loos like best location would be in center of room. I also have an adjoining room (kitchen) where I could use a 2nd split. Both can run off one outside unit? Thanks

[@burhanmusleh7672]

What, in your opinion is the cost of installing a mini split system in a 3000 square feet house with 4 bedrooms, living, family, dining room. 2 stories. Built in 1910 in Maryland. Thanks

[@TaddyDigest]

I will do a video of that soon

[@burhanmusleh7672]

Thanks. Love your videos

[@TaddyDigest]

Awesome thank you

[@themancaveclub]

Great video! Do you know if the ceiling mount cassettes can be installed in a slanted ceiling?

[@TaddyDigest]

thanks and no on the slant they have a drain Pan so water would poor out they have to be level

[@Wilheminia]

I don't want to put a 4-way cassette in the middle of the bedroom because that's where my ceiling fan is located. Do they make 3-ways that I can locate off to one side, or do I have the option of modifying a 4-way to do the same?

[@TaddyDigest]

They make a single one way cassette that would work well

[@sullydee2237]

what do you think about air to water heat pumps. looking to use one to heat heat exchanger for plenum on havc system to heat house or rad floors will they keep heat at 30 degrees and below / without heat strips /how much power / any help would be great thanks

[@RKnowles]

Hello, what do you recommend for a bedroom with a small bathroom connected to it? Does the bathroom need its own separate small unit?

[@TaddyDigest]

Bathroom does not need a separate unit I would recommend a wall mount

[@RKnowles]

@@TaddyDigest I’m confused by your comment. Are you saying you would recommend a wall mount for the bedroom and nothing for the bathroom, or a cassette for the bedroom and wall mount for the bathroom?

[@TaddyDigest]

Wall mount for the bedroom. Nothing for the bathroom

[@broderickbest6819]

If the rooms are on the second floor do yu set the condenser on the roof

[@deanburke3041]

Consider the heat load on the space before you think the unit is sized by SQ. ' Bigger is better if you trap the heat or can't release it.

[@TaddyDigest]

always

[@fit4strength553]

Thanks for this video I’ve been providing ductless HVAC Systems as an option for customers and they have been happy with it. I have never done a cassette but was curious on more ductless applications like cassettes and floor mounts in the event I have the opportunity to bid an entire home. How can I become a member? I am interested in a copy of that booklet as well if possible. Thanks for all that you do. I’ve been working with my father in the industry for years but my exposure has been limited to residential service/installation. Videos like yours have been an essential staple for building my knowledge base. Even though I might not have a job the requires a cassette for example, at least I’m able to become familiar beforehand for when/if that time comes.

[@TaddyDigest]

That is awesome so glad that you have been working with your father and glad that you had the opportunity to install ductless equipment which is the future for now I will send you a link to JOIN and then I will give you my email and send you the guides to help 😉

[@fastlife866]

Same here, been working with my father since I was a kid. I've done hundreds of mini splits, mostly wall mount an a few ducted. Never done a cassette though.

[@TaddyDigest]

You will have no problems Glad you've been working with your dad that's a great experience

[@donitaarender7839]

Wanted to see if i could install in my travel trailer rv?

[@TaddyDigest]

I've got a video on how to install mini split on a travel trailer check it out.

[@oneshot_onekill4618]

If i purchased a Pioneer unit with a wall mount air handler can i swap it for a cassette style?

[@HovikKepenyan]

Question. One of the rooms I have very limited space between the ceiling and the roof, about 2”, can this unit be installed inside a wall???

[@TaddyDigest]

no

[@bobmariano3731]

Awesome video & info , have you ever retrofitted one in an RV ? ? Have seen many mini splits installed on “you tube” in RV’s but only one with the cassettes installed . You should make an instruction video with the cassettes installed in an RV , New Horizons that manufacture 5th wheels are one of the few who custom install these but over charge customers. Thx again & very well done . 👍⚾️🇺🇸👏

[@TaddyDigest]

thank you Bob I love the knowledge thank you for the insight I may check into this 😊

[@bobmariano3731]

You really should , I’ve been in the market for a Renegade Super C RV & typically these Rv’s only come with regular ceiling AC units that are extremely loud fans while operating & inefficient systems . Many RV people that Boondock are going to mini splits for their efficiency low watts & using lithium batteries / solar to operate them . However there aren’t very many experienced installers that want the challenge to install these in RV’s . Check them out on “You tube” ……all the best & maybe I’ll have you install mine when I finally purchase my RV ! Lol best of luck 👍⚾️🇺🇸👏

[@justinpartlow4328]

One issue I see with the ceiling cassette in an RV is the depth of the ceiling. Unless you recess it down a bit. You would then need to retrofit some type of cover or trim around it. Lines could run up through the room then off the back or front. There is a 12V system out there for RVs, one I seen has the outdoor unit, installed under the RV.

[@juanbarrientos6237]

What maximum distance should I consider for the condensation lines before it affects the performance of the cassette mini sit units?

[@TaddyDigest]

the drain pipe?

[@dangilsdorf1488]

Can I install a 3 zone mini split - two wall mounts and one casset? Can you mix and match universally?

[@TaddyDigest]

Absolutely Check out my video titled mini split projects

[@orangebird-girl3148]

Hello I new here, I see where people are putting these units in by there selves. Is it real easy or should I get a professional to do it.

[@TaddyDigest]

Really depends on the knowledge you have the type of unit you get in the tools you have as well

[@FakedStick]

both 110v and 220v have 22 seer, so they are same efficacy, and consume the same elec.

[@ryanevans7253]

Can the outdoor compressor be higher than the wall mount unit?

[@TaddyDigest]

yes

[@OM-bj4fh]

Hi, great video! Can you tell me how big outside unit should I buy if my basement is about 1200 sq/f ? Also, I'm not sure should I buy cassette unit or just a regular one like you have on the wall.

[@TaddyDigest]

Not sure

[@merlinglennon5370]

I wanted to install 3 cassettes that have my attic on the other side. The issue is, i have a black roof, that is not vented and gets very hot. What type of problems will i have? Thanks

[@TaddyDigest]

just insulate the drain line and the cassette body and you will be good
