- Daikin vs. Mitsubishi Ductless Mini-Split Installation
I apologize in advance for the audio in the beginning, we were using a new microphone setup. Overall I was happy with the outcome but it does need some tweaking to dial it in perfectly.

Here in Europe almost all outdoor units are mounted on the wall. I have 2 Daikin 22K btu outdoor units (FTXF60), mounted on the brick wall of my bedroom and I can’t hear them. You just need to install them how manufacturer says (minimum pipe lenght) and you will be fine.
Same parent company as Amaña and Goodman owns Daikin. Mitsubishi is the premier Japanese company which is rated top manufacturer of these zoned systems. Here in the SW part of AZ, Mitsubishi has a leading edge for A/C and energy savings and durability
I'm from AZ and have a 5 zone Mitsubishi mini split on order. Been back ordered for two months. Wondering if Daikan was any better although I understand they are both top of the line.
You made a ride decision going with Mitsubishi. A lot of companies install ductless systems but you rarely hear them discuss servicing them. Every brand ductless system will require that the indoor system be cleaned and Daikin is by far the worst to service.
@@Rewind_Start_Over Perhaps the reason the Trane/American Standard joined forces with Mitsubishi to manufacture/sell mini split units. 🤑🤑
To be honest I really don't get hung up on who made what or where it comes from. I prefer Mitsubishi simple because out of all the manufactures Mitsubishi sucks the least. I've worked on Fujitsu, Daikin, LG, Mitsubishi, Sanyo, Mr.Cool, Carrier, Lennox and the only manufacturer that has actually taken the time to design their product to be taken apart and cleaned properly is Mitsubishi. Ductless indoor units have a common problem across the board. The blower wheels get funky. I've seen mold, dirt and whatnot and the only way to clean them is to remove the blower wheel, drain pan, and all the plastics. When I'm done it looks brand new. For anybody that has a ductless system regardless of the manufacturer and wants their system to perform better simple turn it off manually open up the front vane/louver and shine a flash light into the unit. You are looking for the big blower wheel in the rear. It spans the entire width of the indoor unit. Have a look at the blades of the blower wheel. Is it filthy? Maybe it's splitting black chucks out of it or it stopped moving air like it did when it was new. It needs to be cleaned.
Daikin is pioneer in airconditioning.
Very informative video. The only thing is your "we talked them into" makes it sound like the usual high pressure sales pitch. You shouldn't have to "talk them into" anything. The customer should choose the best system for their situation with your help. Thank you
Thank you. They were new to all of this and wanted to use another brand that we've seen many issues with over the past few years. I know where you're coming from and I think I just misworded it. I tell all of my customers I am anything but a salesman, in the end it's their inevitable decision and something I want them to be happy with for years to come.

That was great, thx! 😎
The head shown at 1:57 looks like it is too close to the ceiling on the right. How are you supposed to open up the unit and clean the filters etc.?
This unit was put in approximately 4 years ago, we have been back every year for cleanings and have not run into this being an issue.
Check your copper line sets that white ISO POLAR insulation is causing an acidic climate when wet that creates pin holes in the copper. I pulled out a run and put up a video of it leaking through little pin holes over a 15 ft span. Still have another 160 Ft to pull out and the suppliers and manufacturers are trying to hide the failure and pass costs on to you.
Thinking of the Daikin Emura. Any caveats?
Do you want to use it for heat? Feel free to call me. 518-650-2000
We have a Daikin 2 ton mini-split heat pump. We live on the water in SC and our foundation is elevated so our house floor is always cold in the winter. The Daikin unit made our place so comfortable in winter and summer. The heat pump is awesome, works down to below freezing, the few days of the year that happens. When we moved here we had a Trane heat pump which was a horrible heater, blew out cold ducted air for hours. It was so bad I stopped using it and bought electric resistance floor heaters.
I would urge you not to oversize though, it causes excess humidity because the unit is up to temp too quickly. We have HVAC problems with contractors here, they all want to charge double to put in a system. I am learning to install and service them myself…
@@ericafors6039 Feel free to reach out if you have any questions/concerns. 518-650-2000
Check your blower wheel. Turn it off and manually open up the front louver. Shine a flashlight inside the unit and check the blower wheel. If it has anything on the blades of the blower wheel then it has to be cleaned. It's at this point where the differences become clear. Try removing that blower wheel to clean it. Good luck.
You should of positioned the indoor units centrally to the window and high ceiling. Looks rubbish as is
Thank you for the input. I was looking for your install videos to see how you do it but I couldn’t find any…
Really bad location for condensing unit, should have been located much higher elevation, right under first floor roof overhang!
Thank you for the input. The customer wanted that location due to snow fall issues coming from the way his roof is. He actually had an engineer tell us that was the safest location. We put in a lot of units and I understand the concern but in this situation my hands were tied. The customer had sent the photos to the manufacturer and the town for inspection so the location was pre-determined.
@@kevinrafferty9748 I am talking about the head pressure of condensing unit from the upper cassette!
@@MissionaryForMexico I'm not really sure what you're talking about. If you pull up the manual or talk to the company they will tell you how far away each unit can be including height. This video has been seen by some of the engineers and none of them have said there's anything wrong with location. If you send me some of your installs maybe I'll see what you've done to fix this issue you think we have.
@@kevinrafferty9748 You will more then likely learn after some time, of the installation, the strain on the condensing unit being from the location of upper cassette! I could be wrong, but what seen occur on a condensing unit when the cassette was four floors up, it even required chilling refergrint bottle just to be able to service proper amount!
@@MissionaryForMexico We install roughly 50 mini splits per season and have never had the issue your talking about. If you can please have a service tech from the manufacturer you've spoken to who has told you about this issue I will gladly take the call.
Condenser should be on pump jacks
Can you reference the portion of the install manual that states that?
@@kevinrafferty9748 of course , these cards (former Marine and Martin) did not follow through and back up their claims
