Keep up the great work, my guy. I can't wait for you to address the central vs De- central AC systems. I know for a fact its going to be great and full of enlightenment. More power to you and your lovely wife.
Thanks for educating us,very knowledgeable about building in Ghana,I’ve learnt a lot from you and also wish one day you could inspect my electrical system for me, thanks.
Hi Asher hope you are doing well?l like your educative video that is very encouraging please the inventor Ac and the normal one,which is good to instale in gh? And which one did you choose to instale and why.
Great information as usual Kingsley. I've got all of this to come in some years time Yahuah willing as I'm going to be building over 12-15 year period. As I have a mammoth project 😱. Hope I'm doing the right thing as it's really big and expensive. Have to sell current home to complete when the time comes. Please pray for us🙏🏾 Hi to you darling wife. Keep up the good work. 👊🏾🇬🇧🇯🇲
Mounting the Outdoor unit on a concrete slab on the ground would have been better of than hanging it on the wall. This allows adequate access to the condenser during washing and also avoid you staining your wall. Regards Mr.Bright from Bright&Clara's channel
The bible refers to this as critical times hard to deal with. 2 Timothy 3:1-5. It lists all what we are experiencing today. Without a doubt we are close to the end. Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us
I saw a building here in Brooklyn where they had the outdoor units on the roof, is it feasible to do that in Ghana? If so, I think I will do that to completely hide the units. I have a central air system and it works, but I don't recommend it...the vents will need to be cleaned periodically otherwise the air you breathe will be full of dust. Also, why cool the entire house when you only need to cool the room you are in, which will save money? ps. In the kitchen, I would fill the hole with newspaper, then apply plaster because I wouldn't want insects or mosquitoes coming through it. If you have spare tiles, you can then cut them to size and apply it to the plaster using tile adhesive.
The Centra air system, is it an HVAC system. Looking for experts here in GH. HVAC often have filter for in-coming and outgoing air. So vents shouldn't get dirty
Central air is the way to go. You can easily close off the vents in rooms not in use which conserves energy. Besides, you don't stay in one room the entire time you're at home. You move around your home at any given time and I, for one, want to move about my home comfortably temperature-wise. I grew up in a home that had one AC in my parents bedroom and the rest of the house was a hotbox in the summer and I absolutely hated that.
Bro i would like to know why you opted for samsung ac instead of the gree ac. Some of us are following your foot steps so please can i know why. Thanks
5kk system isn't smallish though. Solar is quiet inefficient. I have 5kw, it can power 2.5 Aircon and few appliances. But ECG even then is way cheaper than solar. Solar is good for reliability with good storage
Where did you get your solar system from? Have you tried putting on 2 x 2.5AC units ? Can it handle it plus your fridges/freezer and say one computer during the day? Do you have a storage battery for nighttime operation?
Bought mine along with battery from China directly to save cost and shipped through a company I often use. The manufacturer delayed a bit though cus they buy the Growatt off-grid 5.5kw inverter from their partner...so that delayed due to covid, about 2months. Battery (4.8kw) was ready in no time though. I have not powered mine with aircon yet but technically it should...has capacity to run 1.9kwx2 leaving extra for fridge and computer with no problem. But lights and stuff add up so I'll personally recommend 2 of the inverters (650 dollars each). Battery is the most expensive components (mine is 4.kw LifePO 100AH... it's a powerwall... neatly packaged). If you have about 15kw, you're are safe for the load you talked about overnight. And no matter the battery capacity, always buy lithium LifePO battery. Will last longer without degrading. Cost more but worth it. My battery is 4.8kw 100AH and can power just my all my electronics and medium size 4 star fridge 24hrs. Aircon will last few hrs with mine. My next goal is to get 1 same inverter and connect both in parallel for 11kw load. For battery, they have one arranged in stacked racks... modular. Will go for 15kw. The solar panels are also far cheaper compared to Ghana prices... factory price. Ghanaians add way too much profit.
@@abdallahgibril4836 I personally prefer attaching the outdoor unit to the wall but below so it can be easily accessed for regular cleaning and servicing. The outdoor units aren't maintenance free. They'll need to be cleaned few months interval. Also they break down once in a while depending on the brand. So you want to position it where it can be accessed easily. You'll also need to weight that along with it's security depending on where you live.
Every Country has be come very expensive ,Once your house is finish what bill do you have to pay regularly when building your home.Why have you got so many widow bars when you could have security Alarm.
I've asked about the bars on windows many times before on other people's videos and the answer seemed to be that there are no security alarms like there is in the USA (e. g. ADT) so security is up to each individual home(and USA allows gun ownership as a further deterrent to robbers)
Guys, we are used to burglar proof bars in houses in Ghana, so get over it. It's been in Ghanaian homes from time immemorial, so it doesn't bother most Ghanaians. It is part of the culture of building in Ghana.
Hello Gad !! Thank you for all that you and your beautiful wife does !! What is the name of the South African company you mentioned in your video with Vanessa Kanbi where you buy your house plan from. Thank you!

Love your content. I think is very important to factor these items into your building design prior to building so everything falls perfectly on place.
So true about what you are saying Asher, about times in the last days! Blessings in building and preparing to move in ASAP! ❤️🙏🏽🙌🏽🕊
Yes! Thank you!

I have a good carpenter who made beautiful beds and an island table for my kitchen.
Very educational video dude

Yes sir it’s getting harder an harder
Nice one mate.👍
oh the little mistakes are endless. Checklist are necessary. I will be waiting for you central AC video. And Gads Garden.

Well said!
Per what your saying, you're not planning on building, do you?

I have a central air system and it works, but I don't recommend it...the vents will need to be cleaned periodically otherwise the air you breathe will be full of dust.

Roof mounted is possible but not for us. Just make sure, you may need a pump for the condensate line
@@kingstal90 thanks, I will look into it.

@@aberba right. Buying in Ghana is a major headache. They always blame the mighty dollar but the quintessential problem is greed
Hi Lawrence... What do u think by installing the outdoor AC Unit up on the wall or bellow down the wall.. Which one you prefer and why... Thank you

Is there alternative to bars on the windows in Ghana??
I'm curious if sliding bars are available... Or bars which are completely clear in color
I'm planning of putting all my AC units up the roof top. Is it ideal?
Possible - yes
Just make sure your installer confirms
That is what I did for my airconditioners that are located upstairs. They are concealed on the roof.
Sounds like a builder/contractors needs rough-in dimensions of all fixtures and appliances.
Could you have gone with Solar air conditions? Thanks
Overpriced
Hi Asher and Gad just a quick question, do you know the strongest safety glass for windows coz I hate burglar proof with a passion? Thanks.
You can go bulletproof glasses
@@BrightandClara . Are they affordable?
👍👍
