Hahaha! I've installed a couple of Mini-Splits before - but the instructions for the Confortotal were pretty incomprehensible. I didn't realize that the thing was pre-charged with refrigerant! So I'm trying to comprehend WTF the instructions were telling me - and with no indication of the amount of refrigerant needed, etc, etc! So - thank you **VERY** much! When the light finally turned on in my brain - it was like "OH! WHAT?"....so with any luck I'll be getting some of that good cool'in any time now! UPDATE: I couldn't get it sucked down to the right vacuum - and I'm trying everywhere to find a leak - or maybe something I hadn't Nylogged or torqued to spec. Turns out my P.O.S vacuum pump had stopped vacuuming. So 3 days later and another $65 and I had it working in 10 mins flat! Thanks again for some nice simple instructions!
Thanks Pastor Bill. I wasn't sure about the green ground going to the third slot or the separate ground screw on the right. I changed back to your way. thanks!
Hi Pastor Bill! Does the unit circulate air good being so close to the floor? I watched a bunch of installs, and they mounted it mainly closer to the ceiling. Occasionally mid level. Thanks for the video. Take care!
Enjoyed the video. I've recently found myself watching these videos as I've installed a couple mini splits in the last couple of weeks. Generally your methods were good. The only thing I would suggest was when you removed the vacuum pump, you should have released the refrigerant 1st. That would have put that into the lines, and a minimal amount would have escaped when you pulled the pump. The directions I've had say to open the 2 way valve 1st and then only a quarter turn for 5 seconds... close it and check for leaks on the lineset before opening them fully. I suspect your unit will run fine for years!
Thank you Doug for the comments. I was told by several of my HVAC friends that The Schrader valve shuts off before the vacuum releases in the testing hoses as you disconnect them. That was a question I brought up when I first did my first vacuum years ago. Thanks
@@shepherdhillfarms7821 I have 3 of these units, the one in this video has no problems delivering great heat during the winter time, the one I have installed in my garage has a little bit of trouble, but the garage is only partially insulated, I even have one installed on my daughters RV that also has no problem putting out the heat during the winter.
What about all of the Xtra copper lines you have bundled up outside? Does thay affect rhw performance. An hvac guy said I should put my extra line inside????
Thanks forvthe video! Just curious, where did you purchase your unit. Im looking for the same kind as yours with the 110 cord in the inside air handler. Ive searched on linrle. Some of those brand show the cord on the inside and some on the outside. Any help would be appreciated!
How has this Held up since when you installed it? How's the Performance? Any Issues So Far? Saw this On eBay but only has 5Yr Compressor Warranty & 1Yr Parts. However, I was Looking at another Company Acekool who Claims to have 10Year Warranty, Costs Only About $100 More. But I haven't Seen any Reviews Of them, They don't even have a Legit Website Showing their Mini Splits, That Means Certainly No Customer Service Or Support after the 30-60Day eBay Protection Period. So that Makes Me Skeptical. So, I'm thinking of getting this one, If its a Reliable & Dependable Unit.
@@nedunonnyp704 my unit is working flawlessly. I went on line directly to the company and even if you’re warranty runs out the parts are cheep. I installed one on my daughter’s RV and it developed a leak on the inside unit and just purchased a new one and fixed the old one and put it away for another project.
There are other companies offering mini splits systems, some are even requiring no vacuum to install them but they costs much more. All the units are basically the same components. Good luck with looking 😊
I see what your saying, I was told that it’s impossible to pull a vacuum down to below 500 microns if you have a leak. Once you release the refrigerant, it’s too late and soap water doesn’t bubble on the vacuum lines only on pressure lines.
It’s the cheapest one on eBay, I’m not sure if it ramps up or not as a option or if it coverts to DC current. It works great and only takes 7amps of 110 volts. If you’re thinking of using it off grid on a solar system it’s probably would work with enough backup power to last through non charging times
@fixingthingswithpastorbill3840 I'm running a 12,000 btu Senville Leto off grid on my solar system right now it's been running all night I have 12,408Kwh if Lithium Iron Phosphate Lifepo4 Batteries
So far it’s had no issues, in the summer it will freeze you out and in the winter you will stay toasty. I am thinking about getting one for my garage and for my RV.
@@kelleydaige6998 this unit is 120 volt it simply plugs into the wall. You can’t use this unit on 220 current. If you had a neutral wire on your 220 circuit, you could disconnect the other hotwire What country are you living in because the current may be different in your location?

Hi Monty
Pastor John here!! Bout to install one of these today or tomorrow. Thanks for your time and video! Blessings from Texas!
The instructions that come with the unit totally suck. Very confusing and wrong.
They hope that the person doing the installation has some knowledge
I’m not sure they’re supposed to be installed on the floor…just saying.

Who's coming to tell him?? He made a floor cooler😂
No different than floor vents, it cools down the room just fine evenly
Good man !👍🏻
