- In this video Nick with Albert Air talks about how they installed an AC PRO - five zone ductless split system. The condenser is a 4 ton variable speed 23+SEER heat pump condenser that runs two 18,000 BTU high wall fan coils and three 9,000 BTU high wall fan coils. #ACPRO

Line set on the roof. My mind is blown 😳
This house had high ceilings with no attic and was also on a slab. So there was no other way to access each room with the linesets. Each line is insulated and then we put them in the metal line cover to give them even more protection from the elements. It is not shown in this video, but we will be returning to paint the line covers on the roof with a special paint.
@@fijiman88Nice work 👌
So awesome!! Great install
My house used to have water heat pump. The upstairs has no duct work. There is no heat upstairs at all. I am in the process of gettimg mini split with 5 heads. I have four rooms. What do you recommend
Thank you for watching my video. I would recommend the Carrier or AC Pro ductless split system. They very efficient and reliable systems.
Great job! Five zones is fantastic silution!
Thanks
What is the Maximum WATTAGE used for that system. I need a 5 zone on my off grid home build but Im worried about power consumption.
I have 5 rooms that need to be done, but i think having two (3 and two) units installed.
Thankfully we have an attic, so I'm hoping it would be cheaper.
I think that is a great way to go if your house can accommodate that configuration.
really nice work, smart
Thanks
I appreciate the information.
No problem. Thank you for watching.
That's perfect! LOVE IT
Thanks
I can’t find any reviews on AC pro products mini splits. Does anybody have one of these and does it work well?
Ever had issues with flickering lights after install? Mine go crazy when that condenser turns on.
No issues with flickering lights on a new install of a condenser. But we have seen that happen on service calls we go on. Usually due to the breaker or main panel issues. Or it could be a short in the compressor. I recommend a technician to look at the system and test those things to see what it could be.
Why not just run the lines along the side of the house to where you are mounting inside unit?? What happnes when roof needs replaced…
We ran them on the roof because the maximum amount of lines for this system was 268 feet. If we ran them on the side of the house we would have gone over that. Also the customer wanted as littlle lines as possible to show on the outside of his house. If the roof needs to be redone then we will have to pull up the lines and then put them back.
I like it, I think you did a good job. But I would of probably had two AC one on each side of the house and ran the lines on the outside of the wall .. one AC doing 3 zone and the other AC on the other side of the house doing the 2 zones.. that way if one of the system is down and needs a repair they still have the other AC working. But nice work ..
@@ryb1906 We considered that, but the cost of doing another condenser and running another electrical circuit to a second condenser would have added significant cost to the project. Also, the electrical panel would have needed to be upgrade to facilitate that. But I do agree that would have been the best way to do it. Unfortunately the cost was major consideration in deciding to go the way we did.

How much does it cost to install a 5 zone mini split system?
Thank you for watching my video. The cost of a 5 zone system will depend on many variables. If you are in the Orange County area I would be happy to come and take a look at your home to give you an accurate estimate. Otherwise I would recommend calling a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer in your area.
Is a 5 zone system a bad choice? I have a company telling me I need two outdoor units.
For this house the 5 zone system was the best option for a few reasons. 1 - The existing electrical panel could only handle adding one more 220 circuit. Otherwise if they went with 2 ductless condensers they would need to upgrade the panel to 200 amps. That would have cost a lot of extra money to do so. 2 - The 5 ton ductless condenser and 5 high wall fan coils fit within the specs to cool and heat the house. That might not be the case with other homes. 3 - This system fit within the budget of the customer. Doing 2 ductless systems would have been a lot more money.
Where do I find someone in Alabama to do this in a two story with an attic?
I would start by doing a search for a local residential HVAC contractor.
Does Carrier make a whole house side discharge air conditioner like the Daikin fit with a higher SEER rating.?
I have heard that Carrier will be announcing that type of AC condenser later this year.
So you have 63k btu worth of indoor units and only a 40k outdoor unit? Does that work well with the exterior unit being 23,000 BTU smaller?
The outdoor condenser is 48,000 BTU. Not all of the zones run at the same time and it is a variable speed system so it supplies the amount of cooling or heating capacity to the individual fan coils as needed. It is rare that the demand for cooling or heating is 100% per fan coil. I have had no complaints about being able to cool or heat their house from this customer since we installed the system.
@@fijiman88 ok, just asking because i have a new Mitsubishi system with two 9k ceiling cassette's in my basement and one 24k wall mount in the garage mated to a 36k outdoor heat pump unit. The basement is spray foamed and the units are oversized for the space but 9k was the smallest ceiling cassettes they make. So neither one should ever demand over 50% i'm sure.
My garage unit is seeming to have trouble ramping up when it gets hot after pulling a car in. 24k in a 480 sqft garage should not struggle at all.
Just asked that to get some input from you and see how the system in this video was performing.
@@KnightsGarage With the 9k units having a smaller demand the 24k unit should be able to handle the garage area. I would have the installing contractor check the function of the 24k unit and charge on the system to make sure it is running correctly. We have had no problems with this 5 zone system. Just like yours, the 9k bedroom fan coils are only running at 50% demand when on. Only the 18k units run full out when it gets really hot.
Would a 5 zone like this heat and cool a whole 3100 sqft house in New Jersey?
It should be able to. But you would need to make sure condenser and fan coils are sized correctly for the rooms. If for some reason you need more BTU's to cool or heat the house then other option is to do a 3 ton ductless condenser with with 3 fan coils for one side of the house and then a another 3 ton system for the other side. Ductless offers many options when configuring a system. I'm sure that one way or another you can find a system or systems that will meet your needs.
Very kool bro 😎
Thank you. We appreciate the feedback
WHAT SIZE WIRE DID YOU YOU USE?
From the electrical panel to the condenser we used a 40 amp two pole breaker and #8 wire. For each of the fan coils inside we used #14 control wiring.
how much does doing somyhing like that cost?
It will depend on the many factors. I do not give out pricing over the internet. I would be happy to discuss your project over the phone at 714-526-6368.
What does something like that cost please in that install?
This install was over 20k. But every house is different and it would depend on size of the system, electrical, refrigerant line lenghts, and labor.
Those 18k seem oversized for those rooms
They are sized correctly based on the rooms square footaage, sky lights, lack of wall and ceiling insulation, etc...
How much was that system , and instalation out the door?
I don't give out pricing over the internet. But you are welcome to call us to discuss it over the phone or email. Visit us at www.albertair.com for our contact ifo. Thanks
@@fijiman88 that sounds trustworthy 😂😂
They should have just torn that house down and started over, lol.
That would have been easier, but these were the existing conditions of the house and I think that we were able to provide them with a system that accomplished thier goal of cooling every room in the house at a very high efficiency.
Looks like a midea made unit
Yes, the Ac Pro sysem is manufactured by Midea
It looks great but that roof is garbage
Thank you for the comment
Looks complicated.
There is a lot going on for sure. Just needs to be planned properly and take it one step at a time during the installation. This job turned out great in the end. The customer loves it.
If You Have 6 Thousand Dollars
To Install That 5 Zone Unit,
Get 6 Thousand Dollars More And
Put Roof Concrete Tiles In That
FLAT ROOF.
UNITS Without That Will Start Crazy
And Fast From Cooling Room.
Amén.
Absolutely overpriced installation. Better use two independent condenser each side of house and get more zone.
I replied to a comment earlier regarding the reasoning for using only one condenser with 5 zones as that was the only option for this house.
