Start your own mini split line and call it Bastard Minisplits.

I wonder if the city code will change to try to prevent this

The solution is to install updraft diverters on the output of those condensing fans.

Worked at Kmart in the 90's. The "Crystal palace" was a Howard Johnson's.

excellent commentary

I'm still not getting why the metering device is on the outdoor condenser. Are they controlling it off the condenser? The return from the evaporator? Or some federal guideline just implemented?

I bet all that was done at night so no one can see the cloud of gas when they cut the coils.

They must've had a large crew up there ripping them apart. Could've got caught too. It happens alot to abandoned buildings.

I realize they should have been arranged as to no discharge into each other to begin with, but could they put some diagonal sheets of something (coroplast, whatever) between them?

Holy cow... They dun ruint 'em..... lol

So much energy consumption with all the HVAC, so much space on the roofs, so much sun. And not one photovoltaic facility. Energy is still way too cheap it seems.

Another reason i can't stand dope heads

Hello Hackfreehvac, I have a promotion offer for you. please share your business email to communicate this

Freaking tweakers man- going for that copper!

You caught that super quick! Looks like yhe project will be done in a few months. All will be well until next May lol

Damn I use to do the service at this location up until the Kmart went under....sad stuff

Well Arizona ain't got all the stupid people. Doing a Aaon start up in southwest Missouri and 3 LG 's ductless less than 2' apart. Fortunately the Distributor that I was working for also sold the LG's and are all over the installing company.

Kmart

How could any HVAC company do something so stupid, unbelievable...

How can you be that dumb?!? Maybe someone makes a curved deflector that can direct the exhaust upwards so they don't have to re-install them?

Whats with the canal thing?

You are a mad scientist! Most would have just condemned the coil and swapped in another one

Especially in Phoenix man- those are gunna get smoked- at the very least premature condenser fan replacements

😂

Whoever installed these apparently believes in perpetual motion and that the 2nd law of thermodynamics is a suggestion.

Surprising to see those nonwhite flat roofs in AZ., imagine the heat rising from those colored decks! Great in the winter if they are heat pumps but not so much in the summer. Anyone with a boat would only make the mistake once of getting anything other than stark white upholstery! The first unit in those rows is going to work great and last allot longer! I would bet that if you checked in a year from now they will all be slanted at 45 degrees, probably the quickest and easiest thing to do at this point. If they are heat pumps they will suffer in the winter too.

That pool looks heavenly to me right now. In Texas, we are at 100F currently.

All neat and orderly, so as to impress anyone viewing the property by drone from above 😊

All the hate for them Iv always had good luck with them like 20 of them on different equipment and never had a issue

The HVAC centipede

Most of those mini splits are walking dead makes no sense

Who is betting the super insisted to do it that way?

Or at least angle them at 45-degrees so that they have a chance to grab some cool air! You're right, this is a disaster. Looks pretty, but won't work.

Nice find! Welcome to the shit show on that first property. Also, no end in sight for all the commercial growth here in S. Florida it's Unbelievable.

Love it! There are still advantages for vertical discharge units, but the cost difference is pretty substantial for the ductless horizontal units. I know Carrier is pushing their 38MURA Carrier/Midea units and the price is pretty substantial (less). They seem to be pretty good, but not sure how they withstand our desert highs. They do use liquid line cooling on the inverters so that is a plus.

I wish i could see the first guy who shows up for overpressure faults, you could watch him with the drone pulling his hair and hear hom cursing the installer all the way to the remote control I wonder how far the faults will travel down the large stack of units, whoever got the first one is sitting pretty.

majordisater it's hot down there it will last a few days then junk they could have put at a 45' it would have a chance

Great video. Thanks. What is the model no and make of your ductless tester please? I’m looking at trying to connect a Ductless Toshiba Outdoor Unit to a Ducted Toshiba Indoor Fan Unit but don’t think they speak the same language!

Looks like a rows and rows of box fans.

Lot of new construction going on. Yes that one building looked like it had some high end equipment on the roof. I have a feeling it’s going to be some kind of medical facility. When I saw those mini splits I laughed and thought what were they thinking??

The roof looks pretty nice actually. They should put solar panels all over that and make some massive profits.

good job OG from nyc.

Man... I haven't been up there in a few years. I'd not be recognizing a lot of stuff!!

awesome video!

Great update. Keep em coming!

Thanks for the update. It looks like work has slowed down some. Maybe it’s just my imagination.

🤣😹 my cat likes to watch cat channels and Tom & Jerry.

We don’t care about your cooler dude

LOL........."Good thing it was my birthday". 😂

Impressive for doing it in your driveway without even using jack stands! Yes, tall 3.09 gears most likely for fuel mileage.
