are you supposed to insulate the white pvc type pipes too? (or if it's not required, is there benefit to it anyway? or any safety issues or downsides to NOT doing that?)

I have moisture in my basement above my ceiling tile. I'm trying to insulate my ducks to prevent condensation. Is it okay if I just insulate the runs? And not worry about the elbow joints coming into the run?

I have some rigid duct that is up against the ceiling so i cant get behind it too easily and using a wrap is just practical. Is there an insulating paint i could brush on to help insulate my galvanized rigid duct?

Why is it unhealthy to have a home at a temp of 59 degrees???

Ok so how do I turn it on???😂😂

Why so wide a trench?

Excellent video but did he ever mention what "the product" was he used for cleaning? Thanks.

Awesome, you are truly dedicated.

Can you use Duct tape instead of the foil tape?

Is there a way to see what temperature the thermostat is reading? The remote only shows what you have it set to.

Get some proper gloves, tetanus is a killer

This is quiet.

Can u run a recirculating hot water system with thermostat off of single line garden hose. Single line has both hot and cold water lines into it

Great video. How do you change the remote setting to Celsius ?

This is hard to watch 😂😂

I have some old duct in my addict , i saw some disconnection and with aluminum foil I seal them . I decided to do the installation on all my ducts myself What material to use? Thank you

We have 9 total mini splits in our house (we have 2 outdoor units to handle them). We are so happy with them...EXCEPT...2 of the mini splits are the ceiling mounted - which is in 2 upstairs bedrooms. There are no issues with the cooling feature, but the heat feature has given us problems for 3 winters now. No matter how low you set the heat temperature on the wall thermostat, the actual temperature in the room just continues to rise. It's a huge problem when we have guests. We have the heat set at 68 degrees, but after about an hour or so, the actual temperature rises to over 80 degrees. Then we have to just turn the unit off. Our installers have spent hours trying to figure it out, to no avail. Do you have any suggestions???

i have a hybrid split system and uses honeywell, will it be a 2 for the cooling stage? my previous thermostat broke and i replaced with an older version since it is cheaper. now it's blowing hot air with cool on. I dont know the model of the thermostat before bc i threw it away :/

I have rectangular duct in my garage supplying heat to the bedrooms above. It has this old fiberglass insulation that falling off. The duct is flushed to the ceiling. How should insulate? Should I use the same material with the spacer for higher R value? Thanks

how do turn off thermostat option, i want it to continue working without shutting off

Thanks

Great video. I have a forced air gas furnace used only for heating. Also have and air handler with outdoor condenser used only for cooling. Do I have a dual fuel system? Thanks

Wrap the pipe first before you hang them. Then when it’s installed with the elbows you would only need to wrap the elbows. Helps me go a little quicker

I have the t4 pro series and it continues to blow hot air on cool auto , how do I get the heat pump to blow cold

Hey guys are you looking to turn your TH-cam viewers into sales/jobs?

I have a carrier unit but I cannot get the outdoor unit to turn on. Where should I have the reverse valve set to o or b

What brand of tape are you using?

Thank you so much!

"in the winter, the outdoor unit will pull warm air from the outside and send it to the indoor unit" wait, what? warm winter air? what are ya smokin fella...

I encountered these systems when I was in Cambodia, and I HATED them. They are DRAFTY. If you home currently has only baseboard heating, I and you want to save money, then they are good. However, in the long run, going whole hog putting in ductwork, installing a GAS furnace and a standard AC system will save you money, which is what I did 15 years ago, and I thank God I did. Natural Gas is 1/3 to 1/4 the cost per BTU than electricity to heat. My winter utility bill would be $200 more a month during the winter if I used a heat pump (which is what a mini-split systems are).

I thought you use the spacer so the pipes doesn’t sweat.

Do you have to remove the hanging straps and insulate below them then reinstall?

What is the difference between the models A1013A, A1013P, A1013Q, A1013U and A1013T?

Thank you for this straight to the point informational video! Can you tell me what cleaner you are using?

Where can I get that insulation?

Not mine!! Brand new and it is so noisy I'm ready to have it removed!

Nice to see a true air gap 👍

I have Mitsubishi AC. The blower wheel will not come off the motor shaft very easily. I do have the set screw loosened. This happened last time I was cleaning my unit.

What are the spacers called and do they come with the sheet insulation? Why are the spacers needed?

Thank you for the video. I just wish someone was making 4 way units that fit in between 16" OC joists. It would be perfect for my application.

Thank you I finally got some answers, also my landloard changes our heating use to have a furnace. Now we have one of these, it does the living room kitchen , separate rooms bathroom and bedroom , nothing for the basment. Will only one heat the whole house?

Question ....can you do this to dryer vent ducts that go through an attic or does the foil have to be insulated?

do those refrid lines come predetermined in length? Or can I cut them and add more lines if needed?

How would you wrap duct work that is a square box under my mobile home my duct work is a flext tube from ac to metal box that runs the floor of my home

I have a Lennox and cannot figure out how to remove the blower wheel? Any help would be appreciated 😊

All insulations work the same way. To achieve R value you have to "trap" an air space. Think of it this way - Let's say that you have a 3" thick piece of fiberglass insulation (duct wrap) rated at an R8 when installed correctly. If you take that same piece of 3" fiberglass and wrap it so tightly that it is reduced to 1" thick it is no longer an R8. Why?? You didn't remove any material right? What you did do was remove the air that is trapped within the fibers of the material. This reduces the R value. Reflectix reflective duct insulation doesn't have any fibers to trap air so you have to build an air space against the duct to raise the R value. The material used in this video is an R4.2 wrapped direct the the duct and an R6 when installed with a spacer. It is a double bubble, double reflective product that acts in three ways. 1. It is an insulation (as explained above.) 2. It is a radiant barrier reflecting back radiant heat at 96% which means that the air in the duct stays cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. 3. It is a vapor barrier which helps prevent your duct work from sweating. We also offer a big bubble material HVBB48075 that is an R6 applied direct to the duct and an R8 When installed with an air space.

The first thing you need to decide on a mini split is to find a reputable Refrigeration professional that knows that a mini split does not "pull outside air into the home" and it doesn't "take heat from the outside and bring it into the home." It does it through heat transfer with refrigerant. 😎

Ty!

We just installed a new mini split. I was trying to check the temperature with a thermometer and it grabbed the probe and broke a couple fins off one section of the fan. It seems like the air is still blowing good on 5/6 of the fan. Do I need to replace the fan immediately or will it be ok to run it like this for a while?
