Do Mini Splits Work Below 0°F
มุมมอง 3.7Kปีที่แล้ว
In this video I explore whether or not my mini split heating/cooling system will work when the temperature dips below the listed operating temperature of the condenser. I found that, although it is technically working, it is not performing like you would want. Since mine is in my garage, it is not critical that it heats the space, but if this was in my house, it would be a cold night! Be carefu...

What species is the wood? That can't possibly be walnut being that light before the stain.
Thanks man, super useful
THANK YOU!!!
I see this is 2 years old now. How's it holding up??
Fantastic, zero problems.
What color of the Polyflex SA P is used in this video?
I wish I could tell you… but I can’t remember. So sorry!
@@Jacob-Shields That's ok, thanks for replying! :)
I was just about to start my tile in my new shower & and I was wondering how to start & now I know. Thanks.
Great job.Thanx.Im a DIY guy for 45 yrs but have never done this.Piecr of cake.
Won't the clamps on the couplers eventually rust, causing future leaks?
Great question, these ones are rated for underground use, some aren’t though. The ones that are safe to be buried like this have stainless steel clamps as opposed to zinc plated or galvanized clamps.
Thank you, Jacob! I'm remodeling bathrooms for 15 years and now I learn your method! Thumbs up!
Great video, there’s not a lot out there for really cold winter weather input, thank you!! Also what are you running for your back up propane heater? Thanks!
I had a 100k btu tube style burner and 100lb bottle, but I’ve since gotten rid of it because I’ve never actually needed it!
You should use diamond blade for cutting with a grinder. It only takes about 15 min per cut.
great video. Wouldn't have been a good idea to install a back water valve there while at it?
You did a very good job of explaining very informative
Awesome idea
What part of the country are you in?
West, on the Rocky Mountains.
How much did you pay the plumber for the added bathroom ?
Great question. I had all new plumbing installed in the entire house to include the kitchen and another bathroom aside from the new one I added. It was $12k which included new pvc drains everywhere, new manifold, new pex everywhere and even a new water heater install. I imagine adding one bathroom would be 2-3k depending on how difficult the new lines are to run. If it’s an open basement or crawl space below, then it could be cheaper! Hope that helps!
I'm confused by these laser levels. If your reference is off, in your case the old base plate, won't your result also be off. Or in other words, let's say your old base plate was running in or out 1/8th of an inch per foot, won't your line for your wall also be off?
Since the laser level is automatically displaying the level and plumb plane, if you build the wall off of this reference, it will be plumb and level. Now as far as the wall I built being exactly 90 degrees from the other walls, well it’s not but that is much less important. You can still use the laser level to get square corners though for perpendicular walls, you would just adjust the laser level to the existing wall and then mark the 90 degree laser to get a perfect angle between the walls. You might be thinking of the old laser levels that needed to be leveled themselves in order to trust the laser line. These new ones are internally leveling so you just turn them on and go, all the lasers are plumb and level. Thanks for your comment!
Eight years ago I removed my fiberglass bathtub and replaced it with a porcelain bathtub. I had decided the surround walls would be in a herringbone design. Then I became intimidated and froze dead in my tracks. Now, eight years later that bathtub still cannot be used cause the herringbone project was never started. I thought the only way to finish the project was to forego the herringbone design and replace it with the boring horizontal rows of subway tiles because hiring a professional tiler to tile the herringbone pattern would be cost-prohibited. I now have my mojo back after watching your video. I recently saw another YT guy whose tutorial was helpful. He started the first row, vertically at the center point on the back wall and then worked upwards, not horizontally across the back wall the way you're doing your project. Yours makes a lot of sense. It appears once that bottom row going across the three walls is set the next rows should be easier and faster. Much like prepping walls before painting. Prepping anything is always time-consuming while the actual project is a lot quicker. Thank you for your idea. I will be looking through your other videos for great ideas. God bless you for sharing your ideas.
Is the green thing you're using sandpaper or is it a kitchen scour pad?
It is a scotchbright pad.
Looks like mostly maple lol I know it's the sap wood but still
That’s awesome
Thanks for the tips. Btw, what size tile did you use?
I believe this was 4x12!
This is kind of genius. I'm 100% going to do this along with a template for my cuts.
If you use those fernco’s to connect to cast iron and burry them you will be digging them up again I can assure you. They make whats called strong backs to use instead of fernco’s. Do not use the bands he is using. Ferco’s are made for above ground vertical sewer pipe only!
Fernco has a pdf describing how to use them for underground applications. I think they will be ok. Source: www.fernco.com/downloads/installation-instructions/fernco-flexible-coupling-in-ground-installation
Great job! I had a quote for over $4000 to replace the pipe from the kitchen sink, and the laundry sink.
Any video around the floor tiles?
Yes! DIY Bathroom Tile Planning, Layout & Cutting | Step by Step How To th-cam.com/video/Gg9gbp5fpWQ/w-d-xo.html
Tiles are running on a 45° angle. The speed square you are using has a 90° angle, or a right angle. Other than that little bit of picking... this is a good idea for starting the pattern.
All I can say is… thank you so much, very helpful video!
Do you need a permit
Great question! Some regions yes, and some no. It’s best to call your local building department and check!
Thanks for sharing
Great tips!! A plumber was going to charge me over $1000 for digging and installing a clean out!
That's cheap, I wish I could find that price. I'm getting prices of $3500 and up for estimates here in Illinois.
$1000 is way cheaper than most. I know someone who charged $600 for digging up and replacing part of the main sewer drain. $600 is cheap, and $1000 is not too far behind. Not bad of a price.
Thanks Jacob
I think this is a top tip, thanks
just draw your frist run on the wall and go off of that use the bottom to level out, if the bottom is level most tile are not all the same size so even if you have a few tile run off up to half an inch the line nobodies going to see that with all the grout line going everywhere.
Hi Jacob, nice video, Senville make 2 models the Leto series which is only good to for 5F, the other series is the Aura series which is good for -22 F. Make all the difference in the world for colder climates. Thanks for the video.
I know this is an older video but by chance do you have an idea how many KWH it's eating thru at those temps?
I don’t have the rate for when I filmed the video but we had a very cold December last month and I was averaging 6.37kWh/day which is $1.24/day where I’m at! That is to maintain 45deg so nothing freezes, I was not out working much this last December so I imagine it could be about double to get up to 65 every day during week days if I was out working. Hope that helps! Definitely one of the best additions to my garage I’ve ever made.
I’m Sure you did a much better job than most professional tilers!
Is the 811 a free service
Yes
Yes, it saves the utility company a lot of money in the end I think because people aren’t breaking gas or water lines!
Great instructional video Jacob. Thanks, it was easy to understand.
The most informative video so far. Thank you!
now tell us oh mighty one about the fact that mineral wool is WAY less efficient for low frequencies, BASS etc
So some additional info: 1. I was offered this service by a plumbing company for $4900 2. Using a concrete saw is a great way to cut your old cast/clay pipe
Live saver video!!! 🙌
Should have a high heat version of this heat pump for better efficiency, but does cost a bit more than leto unit:)
I read ABS is better than PVC pipe for outdoor underground plumbing due to their excellent shock resistance.
Interesting, I didn’t know that! I just followed my local building code.
Yes, ABS is another type of material that is used for drainage and or sewer.
Great advice. What type laser level you suggest?
I use the Milwaukee laser level because it is bright at far distances and in sunlight, but any of them should work that have a “float” or self level option.
👍🏽✊🏽🤟🏽
I like your set up prep. If you use silicone behind the tile with the hot glue, you can leave the first row of tile in.
How much was the company charging you to install this clean out ?
The estimate was about $2800 if I remember correctly.
@@Jacob-Shields wow ! That’s ridiculous, i can only imagine the price If they had to break concrete or remove bushes. Great video btw 🙌🏽!!
Do you have any experience with double herringbone? I’m guessing the same concept applies? Thanks so much for a great video!
