    Vacuum won't bring mini-split line set to minus 30

    Nitrogen tank rental was recently (Nov '23??) around $90 filled at Airgas, plus $35 for an Amazon regulator. If you can provide a current inspection date tank, fill was like $14 or such. Iffy for one unit, but for multiples it's a no brainer... :)

    EG4 Mini-split kinked one of the copper line sets

    In this video around 8:20, guy says he contacted EG4 and they offered him "dry" lineset extensions, not charged or evacuated, whatever the DIY versions of these have. I am sure MANY of us would like to know if that's true.?

    Deleted, exactly what Shopman said.

    Hybrid mini split on 15A AC

    The 12k BTU limits AC power to 300W - if there's more than 100W Solar available, actually limits to 150W (unofficially). You can turn that feature on/off with remote and app, or set it ALWAYS ON (undocumented feature). I am 100% certain it would work on a 15A breaker. I have one that before I...

    EG4 Mini-split kinked one of the copper line sets

    I've noticed initially, they may run several hours before the condensation flow gets started. Humidity matters too. That would be from the INDOOR drain on A/C, and OUTDOOR on HEAT. Does anybody else have experience with Pro Fit (Sharkbite for A/C lines). Looks interesting.

    New Ecosolaris solar heat pump

    Thx, that looks like the source for Ecosolaris when you look at the "1.5 HP" unit. Some interesting stuff there. A hybrid ceiling cassette, and what is this?? It looks like it would be wall mount, but mentions wheels, portability, and a wall hole 🕳...

    I’ll never get tired of seeing this

    Pretty sure correct usage for anything over 100F = eff. In fact, henceforth I'm borrowing that as well :ROFLMAO:

    New Ecosolaris solar heat pump

    Maybe BTU/Watt rather than Watt/Watt...? (Divide by 3.41 = 4.85 ) :) @SmitHVAC and I noticed some inconsistencies among the other specs, so probably they are just getting everything up to speed ...

    New Ecosolaris solar heat pump

    @Danke ...is this a branding of the one you bought?? I remember the oval ends on indoor unit?? 230v and non DIY lines, some may need those characteristics :)🤔

    EG4 Mini Split - 24k BTU system

    It applied between -3F and 112F (with a heat index of 126). I checked that day, and while it was 120F in Phoenix, heat index was only 115!! It WAS a dry heat :ROFLMAO: According to Specs, it appears "somewhat" more efficient on Cooling, but in reality I find it significantly more efficient...

    EG4 Mini Split - 24k BTU system

    Short answer, yes - particularly if you have no grid input. Longer answer, I have seen max of 2700W on HEAT and 2200W on COOL over my 18 months with a 24k.

    EG4 18KPV - What not to do in parallel

    Can anyone substantiate that 600V rated residential wiring hopefully has a safety factor?? Hopefully no melted wiring/ future potential probs...

    EG4 Mini-split kinked one of the copper line sets

    Probably so. In defense of Jared or whomever sent those lines, the spec sheet incorrectly shows 1/4 and 3/8 - but obviously the flared non DIY style would never have been correct - maybe they were assuming OP would modify them. In any case, I can help EG4 out here. ALL of your units - 12 and...

    Signature Solar Supply Store...a prototype??

    Definitely THIS...rather than waiting weeks, months or whatever stories we've seen here while the warranty department performs a body cavity search / turns carbon into diamonds with their sphincter...

    Signature Solar Supply Store...a prototype??

    You also might say it will never work - permits, burning your house down, easy to get hurt - but that's all true of big box home improvement?? Also, as to whether if such a thing was possible, are SS the right group to pull it off... If one of these promptly appears in nearby DFW I guess...
