    New mini split condenser questions

    Thanks. Now I have another question. I plan on sealing these rooms off and running co2 but the installers made 3" holes in the walls to run the linesets and condensate and there is a lot of gap around them. Also where the mains exit out to the condenser. What should I use to fill that void...

    New mini split condenser questions

    Im getting ready to start the hvac system but it says to turn on the compressor for 12hrs before starting. I dont get that. How do you turn it on, but not started it.

    Any HVAC installers? Quick question

    Im not worried about theft. Someone made a comment about bolting down to avoid theft. Well sockets and rachets are cheap so I dont think you can avoid theft even if you tried.

    Any HVAC installers? Quick question

The concrete ones by diversitech have a styrofoam core. Ill look into local precast companies near me to see...

    Not ruling anything out, but I live in a safe neighborhood. Anything can be unbolted. Im more so wondering from a structural point. Ill look into the ABS pads. I know diversitech (maker of quick slings) also sells precast pads.

    Any HVAC installers? Quick question

    Im mounting my condenser on a quick sling and didnt wanna tear out a section of my paver patio and pour a concrete pad down. Thinking of drilling into the pavers and securing the feet with either epoxy anchors or expansion bolts. Obviously a concrete pad will secure the unit better. But has...

    Burnt LED Diodes
