Comment on some days i cant even
ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 6 days agoI have two, one for the garage and one for my 2nd floor bedroom that doesn’t get much from the main HVAC unit. I even got the smallest units you can for those spaces and they are still too good and cool too much.

I’ve been thinking about doing a mini split for my office/upstairs bedroom, since that floor is always the hottest area of the home. Damn if the install cost isn’t as much as the damned equipment

My first install I used a DIY friendly version that came with pre charged lines. That went well and is still going strong after 4 years. That one was fine because you can’t shorten the lines but the run was long enough that there wasn’t a huge bundle of hoses. But the garage one I did the non DIY version. I already had a vacuum pump so I just bought the other few tools like the pip flaring tool and vacuum gauges. It’s actually a pretty simple process to DIY, just practice making the pipe flairs before doing it officially.

Good to know. Do you have any links or recommendations to look into?

Not really, mostly just watched install videos on YouTube. I watched pretty much all of them that came up. They all mostly agreed with each other except for the length of time to run the vacuum on the lines. But I guess it depends on the quality of the pump.
