Celebrating with the UPS guy is like maximum small town vibes right there.
I loved the scam call about winning the vacation in the middle of the video. I was at the bank today and the "Social Security Administration" called and told me I had criminal charges pending and needed to act immediately. I put it on speaker and had a little fun with the bank teller. We both had a big smile on our faces!
Hi Ben, congratulations on your achievement. Ive been watching you for about 10 years, ive practically watched you grow. Your videos are amazing, the calm way you explain things, the knowledge you have and the content of your videos are top notch and simply amazing! I wish you and your family nothing but the best. Thank you for all the wonderful videos you share with us. Keep up the good work! Wade
Congratulations! You’re very impressive. You should be getting a teaching award.
❤❤❤❤
Unfortunately, after seeing a few of his videos, it seems he's teaching people to do things against code.
I grew up in a small farm town. You know you live in the country when you make small talk with the ups driver.
We almost always know our delivery drivers by name and often even have their cell phone numbers! If you want your package a bit sooner you just give em a call and meet them somewhere. We love small town America.
Our town is so small the FedEx Driver delivered me a Package in the Grocery store. He recognized my car in the Parking Lot. We have received Mail that was addressed “Bob & Lily, Three Rivers California, 93271” We’ve been friends with our Mailman far longer than he’s been a Mailman.
Hi Benjamin!! Wanted to stop by to say that I am SO happy to see you over 100,000 subscribers!! You SO deserve this!! God bless, Mary 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks!!! Really appreciate it. Let's race to 1M now. If you win I'll fix something or help on a project for you but if I win you'll have to make some kind of fancy bone broth for me! ;)
Benjamin Sahlstrom - Sounds like a plan!! 🤗 Hope you and the family are doing well. We are finally cooling off down here a bit. It was in the 100s almost all of August...ugh!! A very pleasant 75F today!! A cold front!! LOL!! 😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤❤
@@BenjaminSahlstrom are you going to post a video on connecting the power line and line sets ? Thanks
@@nixaeagle141 Yes!
beautiful family , it's more about visiting and spending time together than the particular project mostly when I'm with family then it goes the best or better than when i put the job first priority
Hi Benjamin. Congrats on your plaque. Well deserved. And props on including your family for the unboxing. As always, great content. I'm doing research on installing my own minisplit install so this series is timed perfectly for me
The first of your videos I’ve come across (as I research how to set up my wall area for the split system installation) and it was super helpful. Even though I’m in Australia it’s still similar ... except for snow. The pros and cons of wall vs ground mounting of the exterior unit was 👌🏻 AND you get the award mid lesson. Very cool. Cheers
I just picked up a Spyder hole saw kit a few weeks ago. So far I am very happy with them for cutting and for getting the cut wood out.
Thanks Ben!! I'm in the middle of collecting data now on split units. Referenced your video on sub panel install in past weeks, and this is my next install. Hahaha- great timing.
Nice to meet the family, feels very personable. Cool to make friends with people you never met! Thanks for sharing!
sweet garage there , nice ...I use 2" foamboard , usually 4" thick in the exterior walls , I plan on adding some more foamboard over the old siding [after prepping it] and stucco type finish it eventually , probably acrylic hardener maybe like thicker EFOS , there's Boen 150 foot x 3 foot mesh [non-alkali] or L*wes had 75 foot (thick mesh) but that brand says interior use, a few applications for that mesh , like finish ceilings smooth easier ... I like to paint the entire inside the wall with rubberized roof tar ($50 /5gallon ) or the no slip driveway sealer tar ($23/ 5 gallon, but no rubber so it doesn't thump as much or stick as well, but the gritty no slip sticks like sandpaper on itself) then i paint that with oops paint [random discount paint] , i get full coverage the ends and all i figure the tar goes into the wood grain pockets and nothing eats tar and if anything tries the no slip sand probably mess up it's mouth , but the paint helps it stay stuck, more waterproof, fire resistant and also adds a thump (i think in humidity, temperature , sound , and microwaves that's right many layers and the foamboard won't breathe anyway so i add some aluminum foil to block secret see thru wall tech they use but nobody knows yet because once they do it'll be an illegal search or privacy invasion according to a good source on here someplace) ...I used to toss Borax in there (20 mules laundry brand) but some pesticides state not to mix with boric acid , borate products...
EDIT:ruclips.net/video/ZfvmdX631Gc/видео.htmlfeature=shared I knew i wasn't nuts , the aluminum foil is thermal mass on the most inner layer but I had that in mind too , suspicions ...
Oh , on my "stucco" or smooth stucco finish mentioned I think if i use thicker concrete I;ll add a few footers just to support that new siding mostly but the benefit is I could keep adding concrete and even wire rebar that way in the future ,
Congratulations on reaching 100k subs and getting your silver play button - well deserved indeed!
Congratulations. (Late obviously ) I have been using your videos to help me build my house. I have been following you for about 8 months now. I really appreciate the way you explain things in depth, yet simple enough for the untrained to grasp.
Congratulations, glad I was able to be one of your subscribers.
Congratulations Benjamin on your well deserved 100k+ subscriber award wishing you continued success throughout your RUclips journey.
Congrats on the Play Button. I love your content and I cant wait to see the 250k subscriber video!
Always learn from your videos. Congrats! You've earned it.
Congrats Ben! One of my favorite RUclipsrs!
Thanks for the bunch of tips I picked up (my day's not a total waste) ...i think i sorted it out mounting my outdoor unit around a corner , atleast the vids got my gears going a little , I think I'll go out the wall then across under the big overhang and 90 around and another 90 down [on the exterior wall ] , there's a closet across the back wall (no space) i want to mount it behind that wall though. and I could install it standard like out the wall and down , but it's better around the back wall , my line is 16 feet , I'll probably cut a 16 ' rope to locate the exact spot ...
On this house , i can walk around the perimeter in the rain and stay dry , the potential is the wall itself could be much thicker and still under the roof , one spot i based the wall thickness on the fact it has exactly enough overhang to add a brickwall there in the future btw..
EDIT: I have a bunch of PVC laying around to maybe run the lines inside at the proper drop mentioned
Congrats Benjamin and continue to keep putting out the great content!!
Great video. I’m looking at mini splits as an option to our new place in upper MI. Beautiful family
Congrats. You do a great job on your videos. When i am looking for a video on something, if i see you have one, I always watch it. Thanks
I just bought a set of those hole saws. Thank you fir the suggestion they're geat!
Congrats on 100K! Love your videos. Keep ‘em coming.
Congrats man, love the channel and here is to 250k subscribers down the road
Congratulations, very much deserved. Now come over to my garage and organize my tool box just like yours!
Very helpful walk-through for DIY.
so happy about the 10 k subscription , I had to subscribe ...
8 months later you're at 200K.
Keep it up.👍👍
Beautiful homestead Ben
Well done! I love your videos. Very helpful
Wow amazing video
I love This channel ❤💓❤💓
Thanks for sharing about split type ac
Great video as I ask questions before purchase and install (like this wisdom: "Measure 8 times and drill once, rather than measure once and drill eight times")
Hello Benjamin... Thank you for the most comprehensive video that I have ever seen on the mini split AC
installation. No wonder you received the Award from RUclips... you should be getting more fro All of the mini split Manufacturers.
I am installing a system in which I need to run my line system out the side of my unit, as you did in the video... however, that's where the video ended, and I don't know how to make the connection coming from the condenser... Help !
Thank you for your time.
Congratulations Ben Enjoy. Nice looking family also.
Best explanation on the internet
Congrats really enjoy these videos
Congrats Benji ... Keep it going ...
Congrats on reaching 100K subscribers! Nice family! Your garage should be airtight with closed cell foam insulation.
Hey Ben - nice stuff but you stopped right where I wanted to watch. Also, I'd love to see you discuss mold avoidance - especially pertaining to units on interior walls. I have two that are mounted on interior walls and have problems getting the refrigerant lines adequately insulated and sealed for vapor. So, when you do your refrigerant line connection video, perhaps you can really cover how to assure your refrigerant line connection area is well sealed/insulated and how to do so. Thanks!
Great Video Congratulations!
In the manual for the one I'm looking at it says:
Always mount the rear panel horizontally. Due to the water tray within the indoor unit we would advise that the outlet of the water tray should be fractionally lower when installing as this will aid drainage of the condensate collected.
Helps stop water hanging around and stagnating and stinking up the place I expect.
came here for the AC install stayed for the wholesome family
The 100k is AMAZING 😍
Dude , you rock
Congratulations!! Can you post a video on running a supply and return ductwork in an attic? There isn't much online,
Congratulations!
Sept 12, you just got done!!!
Hope you won that trip bro...im still on hold 🤞
Maybe this is my year
Hey Mr Benjamin. I’ve been a big fan of yours ever since I’ve become an apprentice electrician. Always find your videos very informative and helpful. Now my question has to do with the insulation that was used in construction of your garage/work room that installing the mini split A/C unit? Is it sound proof? Is it energy efficient?
Great stuff. Can you provide a link to part two?
It would be nice o see you make a video with different layouts and discuss where to and where not to place the air handler in a house. In addtion to the effects when having to put the air handler in the least desirable place due to having no other option. No one seems to be discussing these concerns.
Hello and congratulations on your milestone. It's almost a year since you made this video. Would you mind telling us what is the durability of the C&H unit? TY.
brother please make one video on ducted split system installation including zoning and thermoset programming
Great videos! I'm doing a garage build right now, 20x28 with spray in foam insulation. Average winter temps are -2 degree F here with relatively low humidity. I did a sizing calculator and it said I needed 9000 BTU but I'm wondering if I should size up?
looks like there isn't a line set video install completed for this series but I really dig the videos
Nylog lube on the flares, triple evacuation, nitrogen pressure test, no leak! Mitsubishi has the premium of units by which all others want to be. SEER of like 28 or more on some heat pump models.
My Mit splits worked down to -20 F last winter (2 heating a 35x50 insulated steel shop, heated to 60 F). I was amazed.
After -20 they gave up and I had to run propane heater.
@@JasonW. Pretty amazing how well they work, they have improved big time, and keep getting better and better.
@@JasonW. what kind of splits do you have
@@ThePapertank1 Mitsubishi. I can't remember the models off hand. This last winter they cut out around -15 F so I had to put in a temp 5kw resistive Mr Heater.
Great videos.!!..I was looking at a similar C&H without the hyper and with the ceiling cassette. That's how I stumbled on your videos! How do you like yours?
Nice
Seems like just about everyone is getting these. I first saw them in Thailand back in 2016, thought they were amazing. I only had to turn it on for a few minutes and the room was already flushed. I only used it about 4 or 5 times rather than keep it constantly on. I need one here at home in my garage for heat. Insulation only goes so far.
have you ever installed them on an interior wall? I did one with 3 head units. I was supposed to get to hook it up before dry wall but they drywalled with just a bit of the line set poking through....what a pain in the butt!
Congratulations, Ben, for reaching 100,000 subs. Right now looks like you have 117,000, so your channel is growing by leaps and bounds 👍
Maybe you’ll reach pewdiepie one day?
Hey Ben! Any recommendations on a replacement, or well, in my case longer 1/4" x 1/2" lineset? Would you trust flare unions or the new "sharkbite" type Rectorseal Profit r410a connectors to add line length? I need to add about 15ft but feel just getting a 50ft roll would be safest for me.
When are you going to post the final mini split video??
Love from india .....
How well has the C&H held up? I am undecided between Pioneer Haier and C&H. I have a metal building with open ceiling. Framing 5' on center. what you though on hanging this off of ceiling. I believe I have a 3/12 roof pitch.
Was wondering if you're planning on insulating the garage door? If yes whats your strategy to do that?
I have 3 Lennox mini splits and one of them will make noise like suctioning from time to time even when turned off. We did have a problem with them leaking water inside down the wall so installer said he maxed out the suction. How would I change this setting? Thank you
Hi Ben. Soon I will build an off grid house to retire in. It will be a 2000 sq foot house with a relatively large master bath and walk-in closet. How would a ductless mini split work in a configuration like this. Do I need an indoor air handler in both the bedroom and bathroom... or would 1 unit be sufficient for the bed/bath/closet?
LG has an indoor unit that works as a picture frame
I've watched many of your videos while trying to diagnose my own mini-split issues. It seems like the condensed water isn't draining properly from my unit. Would it make sense to remove and re-install the mounting bracket with a slight slant towards the drain fitting? As mine sits right now the water is pooling up on the other side of the water collection/drain pan from the drain hose.
22:24 where's your plack? 'it's on my teeth' hahahahah
Winters in Ottawa Canada where I live can be extremely cold. I have a clay studio with 3 kilns about 30 feet from the house which we heat with electricity. The studio kiln room is vented with a fan when the temperature reaches 99F. Would using a heat pump to transfer the heat from the studio’s kiln room be efficient and within the design parameters of normal heat pumps?
Why didn't they spray foam between the garage roof rafters as well as the walls?
I have a sun room all glass with a 24 inch knee wall. Can I mount this inside unit close to the floor?
How available will parts be in the future for the C&H mini-splits vs Mitsubishi mini splits?
Which mini split is the easiest to clean and or maintain?
Your channel is awesome. I do have a question concerning HVAV vs Mini Split. We own an 200 year old house. Beams are huge and range from true 4X4 to 9X11 and 9X15. At one point in its history a previous owner added an HVAC Systems. Which was a huge waste of money especially since none of the walls are insulated. So we are in the process of fixing it all. Plumbing, Electrical and Insultation. But the HVAC is my concern. Running duct under the house is out because the crawl space is too small. The old duct is really old. I contacted an HVAC dealer and they quoted my 28K for a new unit and new duct work. This isn't my first house remodel so 28K was 18K more than I wanted to spend. So my question is, do you think it would be beneficial to use a Split Units for upstairs and downstairs or should I stick with the HVAC for the whole house?
Definitely go with mini splits, in a drafty old house you will have problems regulating temperatures across the house as a single zone, or saving energy in areas you aren't occupying. Plus, you have to consider the energy used by a blower fan with a central system, that can be 1000+ watts before any heating or cooling takes place. Central systems tend to have a lower SEER rating than mini splits, don't heat as well, and it's easier to run a line set than duct work in tight spaces.
Hi Ben. I'm curious why you chose a 24,000 BTU unit for a space that appears to be well insulated and less than 600 sq ft? I would have thought a 18,000 BTU would have been more than enough. Is this for better heating capacity during your very cold winters or some other reason? I'm considering a unit for a very similar space (24' x 23') and with foam insulation as well, but not in your cold climate. My average winter low temperatures average 31 degrees, but certainly can dip into single digits on occasion. There have been 5 days at zero degrees in the last 20 years.
great vid. But u should have put up Osb on the walls first on all the walls, then install your mini split. THe spray foam can catch fire, plus it looks ugly. lol. thanks
At 20:26, did it strike you as odd that the supplied 4-conductor cable
was 16 gauge wires? For a 220V--30A device, I would have thought that the
wires would be somewhat beefier.
Have you figured it out yet? - you can knock the slug out of your hole saw bit by pressing the "Spyder" button then pull the saw bit toward the chuck. The hex part of the mandrel will not fit in the hole the pilot bit made, which will stop the slug from moving toward the chuck when the saw bit moves. You don't have to take it apart every time - the mandrel will kick the slug out for you.
I installed an 18k BTU unit in a 350sf bedroom 6" from the ceiling. Bedroom temp during the day rises to 82 because the unit is off. When I turn it on @ 6pm & set for 75 deg, room temp dips to 72 deg before it eventually equalizes and rises to 75. If a ceiling fan is turned on & blows down into the room when the unit is turned on, the unit will cool more evenly and not dip to 72. I conclude that placement of the unit close to ceiling and relying upon the internal thermostat creates this issue because of the warm air trapped close to the ceiling. Running 24/7 is not an option. I did the calcs, it's cheaper (and easier on the grid) to use it 12 hours per day during non peak hours. Using the remote as the thermostat doesn't work properly. It was too erratic. These units are not the TRANE quality I'm used to and I also wonder what it will be like when parts are needed. Comments welcome.
Where is the line set video? I can't find it. That's the part I really wanted to see.
sir,,,,,, how much copper in 1.5 ton simple indoor unit ?
Hi Benjamin! You've almost got me convinced to try a mini split installation myself. One simple question I have is how do you figure how big a unit you need? I will need it for back up heat in the winter as well as better AC in the summer. My primary heat source is a corn stove right now with baseboard back up, which I will have to leave in because it looks like these are only good for heating to 5 degrees. Thanks for all your content.
If you get a "hyper heat" model they will heat down to -22 F. How big of a room/area will it be serving and where are you located roughly?
@@BenjaminSahlstrom Sorry, didn't see you replied so quickly to my question. I would expect someone with a silver button to be harder to reach! Anyway, thank you! So I'm in South Dakota just north of Brookings and the house is total 1500 sq foot. I've been thinking about a model with two heads to set up two zones. It's not going to be the most efficient because it's an old house with an upstairs and no central ducting.
@@frankjames3027 Nice! We're practically neighbors in that case! Brookings is about an hour from here. We are just South of Marshall, MN a bit.
@@frankjames3027 How big are the two "zones" that you'll be installing the heads in?
@@BenjaminSahlstrom I would say the dining and living room are about 600 ft2 and the the kitchen about 300. There are stairs going up stairs from the living room and the upstairs is another 600 ft2. The one head would be mounted high in this stairwell, I think. Stairs from the kitchen go down stairs which is about another 500 ft2, this wasn't counted in the original footage number. I'm less worried about these units heating and cooling the down stairs. Right now I have a big window AC unit I use at the top of the stairs that cools the upstairs and living area accept for the kitchen. Doesn't really do anything for the kitchen. So I could probably still get by with a one head unit too. Lot to consider. Thanks for you thoughts.
the mini split is a lot bigger than i thought. are the smaller 9000btu units smaller?
Hi again, do they make a mini-split system for cooling only ????? Thanks Friend [ 18,000 btus ]
Where is the video showing you hook up the lines and outside unit?
2:00 HOLD IT! There's a very important reason here, you want the mini-split around 90 inches off the ground to make it efficient when heating and cooling, extremely important to NOT put the unit near the ceiling, during summer it will continue to pump cold air that 'pools' near the middle/bottom of the room, the mini split thermostat will not be able to detect the temperature decrease if It's too far up. (Some remote controls may act as remote thermostats, but not all of them)
Same problem during winter, it will release warm air, this warm air will rise up, and the unit will turn off, so you'll end with a warm ceiling but a cold middle/bottom room.
You want the head unit lower, so it warms you in winter and cools you in summer, so keep your unit at 90 inches height aprox.
You hung up on that fabulous offer from Marriott? What's the matter with you?!? I wish they would call me and offer me that fabulous stuff.
Are you happy with the unit? Was it able to heat the garage?
How do you lift the indoor unit off the wall mount after it is put on? That white plastic ring is visible when the unit it mounted and looks like garbage. Need to take it off.
hows this working in snow?
I am installing a senville mini split and the power cord connectors for the inside unit don’t seem to have the correct endings. Do I just cut these off and wrap around screws to make connection or am I not seeing something? Your video does not show you actually connecting the wires. Sorry I can not post a picture
Does your municipality require a permit to install a mini-split in a detached garage?
What are your thoughts on installing linesets and drain lines inside the stud cavity? We've got one for a remodel we're putting in, I'd rather not have the lines running outside the house.
Easy, i'v done millions, just left pipe the unit. And the tricky part is the "sheet rock" guy getting the hole wrong or bending the pipe. Leave a clear instruction is all i can say.
And exit the wall about 2ft up. Not too low.
@@Froggability How much line-set do you have sticking out of the wall when you rough it in?
