Thank you I appreciate the info. So far the 24,000 is been a great job. Fingers crossed. Thanks for commenting and thanks for stopping by!!

@@thefilthelement very nice. They are strong units . Glad to hear yours is working out. I had mine for almost 2 years and haven't had any issues.

Good to hear. They are nice units and truthfully if your patient doing it yourself can definitely save money. Good luck and thanks for stopping by!!

Tyler Thank you for the tip. That sounds like a winner to me and it definitely sounds worth looking into.

are you sure they're looking for a odp and not the real 313d or whatever it is called?

@@Jon-hx7pe ya, I called there Canadian office and sales transferred me to their technical support team and he told me to write my ODP Certification number in the HVAC license number section of the warranty card. If you look at the law and during the training it explains that even licensed HVAC cannot release/charge or work/handle/purchase controlled refrigerant without the seperate certification. Definitely call and verify for yourself though. I cannot speak to other manufacturers, but this is what Senville Canada told me.

@@tylers6798 thanks.

Does this system require a licensed tech or is it DIY?

You are absolutely correct he did not do me any favors. I wish he would've at least ran a vacuum pump thru or told me he didn't have one before he came out. I may go ahead before I really fire up the air conditioner and hire a professional to come out and check it just to be safe. They are nice units and the last thing I want are issues. Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate your information!!

How has your electric bill looked?

Good to hear and thanks for the great tip about getting a vacuum pump from Amazon. Glad to hear that your unit is running fine still, good luck!!

You're very welcome. Truthfully to me is seems pretty quiet. You can hear it , but it's much quieter than my central air unit that runs my house.

Hi your very welcome! My room is insulated fairly well, however my one wall has a garage door. I am in the process of taking out the garage door and building a wall with a window. This unit should heat your cabin just fine.

Hey Thanks !!

Hi, you have a main wire that comes with your Senville mini split, it connects the outside unit to the inside unit. Then you connect a separate wire (Sold separately). It connects from the outside unit to your electrical breaker/ shutoff box which should be mounted near the outside unit.. I used 10/3 and ran it from my shut off box Then to my my main fuse box. Hope this helps.

I think so too, and I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that did not pull a vacuum. Thanks for your comment and thanks for stopping by-Cheers!

That sounds right and best for the unit as well. Thank you for watching!! Cheers!

Your absolutely right. That particular Senville bracket didn't allow me to come away from the wall as far as I'd liked. I'm only about 6" away , however it's on the North side of the building away from the sun and up off the ground plenty enough to allow ample air flow. I have had the unit a year now and have had zero issues. Thank you for stopping by.

I used a 30 amp breaker and 10 gauge wire.

I used 10 gauge for my unit.

That was the location I chose to mount it. We have lots of snow in the winter. it needed to be up off the ground. Thanks for commenting and thanks for stopping by!!

@@Turninstones I believe pdnhsa was referring to the clearance between the outside unit and the wall that it's hung on and not the height of the installed unit. The height looks good. There's a minimum clearance between the wall and the back of the unit that must exist so proper air flow exists. It's hard to tell from the video but it looked like the back of the unit sits really close to the wall. However, not pulling a vacuum to begin with is most likely your performance issue. Pulling a vacuum is required for all mini splits except for those that come with a pre-charged line set like the Mr. Cool units. When air and other contaminants are left in the line, this definitely affects the performance and maybe the life of the unit itself. Hopefully you did a leak check by spraying the connections with soapy water or store bought leak check fluid to identify any refrigerant loss. You still might do the leak check again to verify you might not have a small refrigerant leak. Best bet though, get a real HVAC guy to take a look at it (you might already have done that). Even if he recommends doing a costly refrigerant replacement because of the contaminated non-vacuumed line set it might be worth it. If you do bring in a HVAC guy, do another video, we'd love to hear the outcome. Thank for this video.

@@michaely1164 I have about 6" clearance on the back of the outside unit. The Senville wall bracket doesn't give you much option to expand. I was out as far as it would allow me. That being said, I have had zero issues. Its run awesome and so far I have no complaints.

Without doing a proper vacuum and checking with a micron gauge, you can't know for sure how leak free the system is.

You are right and mine is running great so far and yes my lineset was 16ft.

​@@Turninstoneswhat is the seer rating ? How many watts /per hour does it take?

@@GaHullbillyRanch The seer rating on my unit is 21.5. Running a 2-ton central air or mini-split air conditioner will use anywhere between 0.96 kWh and 1.71 kWh per hour (depends on the SEER rating).

Thank you!!

Sorry to hear this, my neighbor just went through a similar experience. His started pushing codes. He had 4 different techs from different companies stop out and most didn't want to touch the Senville. Finally he managed to find a tech that knew what they were doing. His ended up being the compressor was bad and he had just installed the unit. Senville tech support said they rarely ever go bad, that said the Senville tech did send him a knew compressor and it works fine now, but what a nightmare. Hope you get your issue figured out soon friend, thanks again for stopping by.

I used 10 gauge to connect mine.

@@Turninstones did you connect the red wire anywhere? Or just black and white? I have 10 gauge with black white and red.

@@Rykersrealm My 10 gauge which I believe is 10-2 was white, black and green. On the outside unit I connected my "white to L1 and black to L2" and I connected my green to the ground on the outside unit under the screw on plate.

@@Turninstones got it! Oh, and then you connected it to a double 30 amp breaker?

@@Rykersrealm sorry for the late reply. Yes then I hooked it to the 30amp breaker!

Your absolutely right my buddy was the wrong guy to call. Hopefully they get your right unit shipped to you. They have poor customer service. Good luck!!

Yes sir very happy with AC!

@@Turninstones ya we bought this house in north Texas that has an addition that has an old split unit. So I’m just doing some research. So thanks for responding to me.

Correct he never pulled a vacuum. I am no expert but from what I was told by a different heating and air company is that early on they would just release the refrigerant on new units, but that was years ago. He said the new heating & air techs are trained to pull a vacuum all the time to make sure the lines are clean. I was hoping the original guy I called could've done that, but he didn't even have a vacuum kit. He's old school but I trust his knowledge and knock on wood it hasn't given me any issues as of yet.

Crazy u need a vacuum

@@Turninstones vacuum is mandatory, your guy may have just been a maintenance person, not a real tech.

@@Jon-hx7pe you are absolutely right. He was just a maintenance person at a school. That's where I messed up, not calling a local reputable hvac service in the first place.

Wht a joke no vacuum no way

What’s a good brand?

And then people like this get away with it for years or decades.... by "bleeding" the lines 😂 The rest of the install is just cringe too. The manufacturer/sellers of these things must be absolutely sick of dealing with people like this, because I bet this person here is 90% of there 'warranty' claims.

That's what I've been told too.

Anyone who services carrier , Bryant , Lennox Bosch ECT should be able to service it they are all the exact same . All made by midea
