It was last year when our buddy was telling me all about this DIY ductless mini split he installed.

He explained to me how he studied a bunch of installation videos carefully before deciding that was something he could pull off.

He said it wasn’t entirely challenging plus he would help me install this style of Heating as well as Air Conditioning if I wanted. He showed me some of the DIY options, even though I wasn’t sure that I wanted to go that route. I absolutely wanted a greater system with more zones plus I saw the DIY models didn’t seem to go more than 4 zones. I wanted at least 5 or 6 zones, although he said I could typically get 2 of the DIY models, but still, I thought it would be best to run everything off a single condenser plus so I looked at other ductless mini splits. I found this entirely nice one that had 5 zones plus I thought that was perfect. I purchased it in the early Spring plus had it delivered within the month which wasn’t a terribly long wait. The thing is, I studied videos that showed that any ductless mini split could be installed by the average homeowner, you just had to flare the lines yourself plus handle the electrical connections carefully. Of course, you must have an Heating as well as Air Conditioning professional come out to charge the refrigerant to your system! So it’s not 100% DIY, but it’s still DIY friendly! I didn’t have an issue installing all the zones plus I had to get a few lineset extensions to reach the other side of the house. That was the line that went to our garage. Everything went smoothly when the Heating as well as Air Conditioning pro was charging the refrigerant plus testing the levels. He also worked on for leaks plus said I did a good job.
