Absolutely you are the one of most amazing Hvac guy in this industry thank you Taddy
I've installed quite a few mini's and they are great for open spaces like workshops and are also often used for additions or enclosed garages. That being said, the benefits of the traditional air handlers used for central systems are far more durable, have much more longevity and are cost effective when multiple zones come into play
Agreed
As Taddy mentioned, mobile home (beer can) ductwork is uninsulated, leaky and usually full of mouse feces, urine and nests. Package units usually have to use 12 or 14 flex and get holes from mice, rats and cats. Normally I’d prefer central systems too, but I may consider mini splits on my next mobile home. One thing that concerns me is freezing pipes in cold weather. Most of the plastic/insulation under a mobile home floor has been cut open for plumbing repairs and very leaky.
I was wondering why Taddy didn’t use a 30,000 btu for increased heat output in the winter, as a 10kW electric heater output is 32,000-34,000 btu.
@@rv10flyer84 I prefer heat pump/gas furnace dual fuel systems. Super efficient. Good for all weather
@@ewetoobblowzdogg8410 I have a few, but he didn’t have gas and many do not want gas inside their home, like myself. I’m totally off grid😊with the sun ☀️ powering my high efficiency heat pumps.
Another excellent video👍
Beautiful workmanship. Love it.
Nice looking install ... Nice job Tad ... Thx
Hey Tad I love your videos, thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!
You're welcome brother thank you for watching
Nice work my friend
Those “mini splits” we call high wall splits here in aus, alright as a cheaper option but imo a good redesigned high static ducted split system with a good zoning set up kicks ass any day of the week.
Toshiba have a 16kw / 54,000btu ducted split with 200Pa @ 1200l/s and can ramp right down to nearly 3kw / 10,000btu
Nice work tech

Hope so!
You are incredible really
thanks 👍

I have a "whole house" surge protector that ties to both legs on the house main circuit breaker panel...your thoughts on protecting the units individually vs everything in the house at the feed
I'm waiting on the ira rebate to kick in to change out my struggling ~14year old 13 seer heat pump for a mini split, been eyeing a 24 seer setup. Super excited for room specific heating/cooling which will only improve the efficiency.
I have two of these and they work great but need to calculate the efficiency using the defrost cycles also. Good amount of power is used for defrost which increases frequency as it gets colder.
Yes but the old condenser defrost cycle is on a timer and draws more current, the mini split condenser defrost based on coil temp which I don't know about Samsung but in general mini splits have very minimal defrost cycle since they let them get frost properly then defrost easily.
I am not running down any brand but Fujitsu which is the Cadillac or Audi of the industry ( quite expensive ) units last a LONG time. Sadly I have heard all other brands having problems with them trying to save $$ by using thin cheap copper indoor coils ( copper is expensive ) and losing refrigerant before 10 years and some a lot sooner. Then the owner is stuck with a huge labor cost to replace them and once off warranty it is even worse.
The major conventional split system brands all went thru that nonsense 7-10 yrs ago and now use thicker coils or aluminum coils. They had HUGE numbers of warranty problems. I changed lots of brand L coils. If these other minis had a track record of lasting at least 15 years I would vote for them. Except Fujitsu but you pay more for them.
Done a Gree mini today in attic air handler to inverter outdoor type unit. The company offers a 2,000$ tax credit in Kentucky I don’t reall line them a lot but they seem be fine so far set a few
Thank you for sharing your experience. This may come in handy
Hi Tad, when is it safe to use indoor units (12k, 9k, 7k) that add up to 28k BTU with a 24k BTU / 2 Ton outdoor unit? How much over can you safely go before you would need a 30k BTU / 2.5 Ton outdoor unit? Thank you
around thirty percent more capacity, then nominal capacity rating.
Would like a follow up on his power bill one year out last and this year so we can see the savings. Thanks

#giveaway - Thanks Taddy!
I appreciate your professional explanation. There are DIY mini splits on the market. Do you have a preference? P.S. I liked the video with the DC capable mini-split. Thanks
I really don't have much experience with the d. IY so I don't have a good recommendation. However, if I do get some experience, I will do a video of it
Thank you for watching my videos
@@TaddyDigest I have a prefabbed house at my ranch and it consumes between 30 kwh and 200 kwh per day. The house is all electric and even though the house is only 2 years old, the electric furnace and AC are power hogs. I am going to replace them with a mini split system like you installed. My electric bill can be as high as $400 in the coldest and hottest months. Thanks for your energy cost video. I think my ROI is going to be less than 5 years.
Excellent news. You are making a smart move. I hope you saved tons of money.
Sounds like your roi is definitely five years or less
Forget the diy... Buy a 79.00 vac pump, and save your self $1000 for those pre charged lines.
@@robd7365 Thanks. I already have a vacuum pump and pressure gauges. In the 1980s, I built custom air conditioners from scratch for a company. Technology may have progressed but the physics has not changed much.
You work with Fuller heating and cooling? Which one if don’t mind me asking?
in tennessee
It's not exactly fair to compare resistive heat, which always draws full power, with a heat pump, operating in summer temperatures, and declare how much more efficient it is. I'd much rather see real numbers, including factoring in defrost cycles, in real winter temperatures (not the 47 degrees most units are rated at). While the heat pump should still win the race, it would be interesting to see how much the gap narrows.
Their goes the savings when it breaks.
Well there you go positive polly
I like the idea but the furnace is VERY simple and cheap ( compared to a heat pump ) to fix and very reliable and as complicated as a toaster. The mini with all the problems with leaking indoor coils ( losing refrigerant ) and expensive repairs will eat up the savings eventually. Pros and Cons to everything. Electric furnaces are not expensive to install either.
