Bought the same line gauges set but the adapter was the wrong size threads so waiting on a new adapter. Thanks!

Nice work on this unit, next year I plan on replacing my home heating and air conditioning unit with a Goodman. 2 years ago I installed a 45,000 BTU natural gas furnace on the ceiling of my attached garage and it worked out great. Had Home depot come in for a furnace and AC replacement and they were looking at 8000.00 same deal with Goodman and myself for around 3500.00. The guy from HD gave me a compliment and said wow at the installation work on the garage April Air install for the furnace in the basement. He gave me hints on new code for water valves for the April Air which I instituted. No more saddle valve. Changed the valves for the two refrigerators water also. I did add to wish list the minimal tools you purchased here to buy this year in anticipation of the project next year. Should be a fun project. Being DIY attention to detail is everything, the HD guy had been an inspector and he could not have been happier with the work.

If you vacuum the pipes, and you have an air leak, putting bubble solution on the connections will NOT show you the leak. That only works if the pipe is under pressure, so you would have to hook up a compressor that will pressurize the line then find the leak, then vacuum it out again.

My pump came with a very clear oil in a bottle. I just had to add it. Great video!!! I just want to add to pay attention to the connections on the blue cable. You will need to connect it opposite of the yellow hose to disengage the valve at the AC side. Do as on the video and you will be golden. I just didn't notice it at first.

Really should run the pump for a couple hours in that setup. When you evacuate and check for leaks, shut off valve to the pump so it's isolated and gauge is just reading the system vacuum.

Very nice videos Bob. You covered A-Z! On the lines, I would have run the vac longer, but it worked for you. I also use a digital meter to try to get below 500 microns. Gauges, especially the cheap ones, are not too accurate. As others pointed out, you would need to test for leaks with Nitrogen. I only pressure test if the lines do not hold the vacuum after 3-4 hours. I am installing a Senville now....24KBTU and you were the inspiration! . Hoping to complete next weekend. The 7/8 line is stiff! I probably will also post a video too.....not sure as yet. TNX!

You know, when a whole house (Central) HVAC system can run $10K plus, this unit makes so much more sense, especially when you can use two or three of them to create 4, 6, or 9 different zones. I've got a property that will be perfect for something like this should (when) the current Central unit fails. Thanks as always for taking the time to put this series up.

These units would not be bad spread throughout the house. Do this job, gives me the confidence to install my own heatpump down the road for my home. From what I understand, my heat pump should last for 20 to 25 years, so I am gong to fix it and keep it running until it lasts in whole service life. Upgrading to newer refrigerant systems is not going to pay for itself and some of the high efficency units have expensive electronic boards and the parts are not cheap.

My nephew in New Mexico went from evaporative cooling to mini splits. He has two compressor units mounted on the roof ( his house is a flat top territorial style ). Each compressor handles four air handlers. He only uses the units in the room he is occupying at the time. He works for a big plumbing and heating co. so they installed his units as a test for effectiveness. That was two years ago. So far so good. Now mind you, there is no humidity where he lives. His units are wifi so when he leaves work he turns on the appropriate units with his phone. Easy peasy. House is cool when he gets home.

Local HVAC just about force personal installation. I got a couple of bids to do my garage, all were over $5000! Lets see, $900 unit, that leaves $4100 for the install. And I already have the electrical done! So instead, I buy a $900 unit, $100 in tools, and I am $1000 into the project. Even if I screw up, worst comes to worse, I have to buy a second unit and do it over. Then I would be $1900 into the project. If the local HVAC just charged $500 for their work, I would have gladly paid them!

Hello. First let me say thank you for taking the time to post these videos on mini/split installation. You stated you can add up to three head units for one compressor unit. My ?? is this. I have one master bedroom of apr. 254 sq. ft. and three additional separate smaller bedrooms of apr. 120 sq. ft. each. they are all on the same outside wall of the house where I will locate the compressor units. Is it much better to put four stand alone units for each room or is it considered more practical to have the additional head units for one or two compressors?? Keeping in mind I may not need to heat and cool all the rooms at the same time. I may only need to heat/cool one room that I use as my office throughout the day but not the other rooms which will be unused during the day. Then in evenings and throughout the night I really may only need to heat/cool the master bedroom as the other rooms will be unused.

It was a necessity for me because I hate humidity. I do crank it cooler on real hot days. If I open the garage door, it recovers quickly. Enjoy, and like I said, nice install.
