Hi farmers, iv been looking into a mini split read a load of info on them, so know a little bit about them. Just got some questions that i cant find the answers to on here, iv used the search etc. Can anyone shed some light
When there described as easy install or DIY what is actually the difference to a normal non DIY unit etc, when iv seen these on the net there not described as coming with any of the pipe work, just the stand alone 2 piece etc which isnt the problem but if the unit is pre gassed, how would i know what the set lenght of piping its gassed to? Do use know where im coming from. Basically are these the only differences between installing the DIY and normal (lg,mr slim, fuji etc)
They need vacumming
Flare fittings
Just wanted to know if it was worthwhile buying a quality brand name, sanyo, mistubushi, LG etc which all need fittings professionally or opting for one of the easy installs, i really want to get the best i can get but if theres not much difference in quality between the DIY and normal units then i can just go for a easy install. When i say DIY/ Easy install the units are described or named as TCL, CHIGO, No name but always say toshiba compressor, KFR range and ECO AIR. ECO AIR being the best i can tell.
If i went with either type say it comes with 5m of copper piping, will that unit be pre gassed to that lenght, what would have to be done if i needed 10m?
Most condensers from what iv seen range from 51db to 62db. Im looking for a quiet as possible unit, which brands are know for being quiet. If the unit was 55db how loud would it, how far away would you have to be to not hear it?
Do any of use connect these with sentinel or similiar controllers (CHHC-4) or do you use just run it on its own, set the parameters and away you go?
Thanks in advance for anyone who sheds some light on these, got me pretty stumped :)
If it helps been looking at the 24,000BTU range, 7KW
