Good friday morning all! ☕🌞
Coffee time is finished. Off to wire in power and comms to my new mini-split outside unit. Inside is hung and ready. I'll connect tubing, then have to find an HVAC guy or buy/rent a vacuum pump and gauges to evacuate the lines before I can start it up. I've got calls in to two HVAC people, but no response. Have another to contact, but after that I just go by the gear and do it myself -- that's how I've learned to do everything. ❄️❄️❄️
Mitsubishi?
@LnzyHou Gehzuntit!

This is a Quul, from HDepot, which may be Midea. I bought it new-in-box from a guy who didn't use it.
We sold Mitsubishi mini-splits on St Croix. Used less energy than a box fan.
@LnzyHou
This is Puerto Rico. 91F inside. Ceiling fans do wonders. This is enough to take the edge off. Don't need it to be 68. Hell, I'll probably be chilled if I set it to 80F.
@FireMonkey So far our system is working really well in the moderate So Cal climate. We've had a few days edging towards 100 degrees, but no high humidity. The heating worked great last winter. I'm curious to know how yours performs with the wetter conditions, so please keep us posted!

Generally these do excellent, although the my friend's bar I just walked into had two big units cranking and they weren't working so they probably froze up.
@FireMonkey That's what I'm wondering about in higher humidity environments. I've heard stories about icing issues. I wonder if that's avoidable if the t-stat is set higher, resulting in lower demand? Or maybe going out and hosing off the fins to de-ice? 🤷♂️
