Yeah, it seemed to be a longer process than any other mini split wheel I have done before. I don't do too much with mini splits anymore though. I haven't been taking any new customers on with mini split units for the past 5 years or so. Tell them to call someone else. I don't maintenance them, repair, or install them for anyone anymore.
I have tangled with a few ductless blower wheels replacing or pull and cleans. We pull and clean rather than hanging the douche bag and making a mess. We install Mitsubishi. The floor model wheels and motors are so much easier. 👍
Mitsubishi seems to be the better built machine. This York is on it's 3rd repair in 3 years. Unit came out of the box DOA, thermistor bank went on the outdoor heat pump causing it not to defrost, and now the wheel. Thanks for watching man.
Mitsubishi honestly would be my choice for a mini split or even pioneer I just especially hate those no vac quick connect linesets for anything and it's not just Mr cool anymore companies like bella push it too. And like I tell people Mr cool just rebadges products which can make it dificult to identify for techs to actually know who actaully made the units so parts can be ordered and that's a bad thing. As for York like I say a lot York was good prior to 2005. But now it's junk and yes I know bosh is buying Johnson controls out but that does not mean the existing ones will get design improvements as for pioneer I like that pioneer gives you the linesets ajx instructions but they don't preflare any linesets and gives instructions to the homeowner on what tools you need but then says if you aren't comfortable hire a proper hvac guy to install. And I know you hvac guys typically don't like preflared linesets. As for Mitsubishi I like them too but some of them come with preflared linesets. So that means the installer often has to reflare the linesets unless that's changed.
@@gabrielstern4992 Depends on the supply house where you buy the lineset on if they come pre-flared or not. If you order them online they could come with flares already. I go to local supply houses to get my lineset, materials, and equipment. Buying online is a bad idea. Parts become hard to find or not available, warranty issues, and the list goes on. I would never use a factory flare on a lineset. They are typically trash.
@JakePorterHVAC I know that's, what I was trying to say learned, that from Ted cooks video Instaling mini split at my house. I have even sighted that video a few times to a certain electrician in new jersey. Who was installing one of those Mr cool mini splits for which I would never buy. When he said in the video I might install some of these for my customers which sent alarm bells off for me. Especially after he tried the always follow the manufactures instructions crap even if debates from proper practices. Anyway those no vac quick connect linesets I detest. Especially the Mr cool ones which look like stove pipe and are impossible to fix or reflare. Anyway pioneer does not preflare their linesets they give you the nut fitting but they make you go out and buy a flare kit. So again jake an hvac guys dream VS most mini splits take care and get rid of that York mini split. If it's family get them a Mitsubishi or a pioneer. Your family will thank you later on. Take care
@@gabrielstern4992 It is my parent's place. They have a 20 SEER Mitsubishi inverter heat pump in their loft inside the home I put in for them. No issues in 8 years. I clean it up twice a year for them in the spring & fall. My Dad didn't want to wait for the Mitsubishi stuff to come back in stock during the pandemic garbage. They put water out there in the upper barn and he was going to have to heat it with a diesel heater which is pricey to do on a space that big and it is pain to keep filling it everyday. Mitsubishi was backordered 3 months or so at that time. Warned him about the York's quality compared to Mitsubishi, but he still wanted to pull the trigger. York isn't bad, it is average and below like everything else now. He knew what he was getting into. Luckily they know a guy who works in HVAC and is family. Lol. Hopefully he won't have anymore issues out of it. No telling though. It does have a 10 year parts warranty, so there is still 7 years left on it. I registered it after installation. I am set up to do labor warranty work on York as well for other customers. The Mitsubishi in the loft is already out of warranty. I am not a diamond dealer. I believe it came with a 5 year parts and a 7 year compressor warranty. I have never touched a Pioneer unit. Don't know anything about them. No one sells them around here.
I currently don't take any new customers with ductless mini splits that need maintenance, repair, or installation. Haven't for at least 5 years now. They are a pain to deal with. I have helped existing customers and family.
That blower wheel was a pain but you handled it well thanks for the video

We try to avoid ductless when possible. Nice 👍🏼 job
