- Sorry to hear about that. What is your opinion of mini-splits in general? - Pelican Pete 2015-11-10 12:50:18 (370 views)
  - when they install new gas plumbing they do a high pressure leakdown test over 24hours. - ModifiedA4 2015-11-12 10:24:59 (403 views)

    - Yep, they cannot heat properly, period. As a secondary, additional AND occasional source - 520 2015-11-11 11:01:21 (449 views)

        It's just a matter of the extreme temperature.  -  irish21  2015-11-12 10:30:14 (279 views)
        
        I know...just saying they dont work is stupid. I am saving money with one.   -  Seattle_Scott_inside_a_Virtual_Machine  2015-11-12 21:46:38 (265 views)
        
        When you say "approaching freezing" are you talking about 32 deg F? Or colder?  -  Pelican Pete  2015-11-12 13:21:18 (277 views)
        
        They should definitely consider a secondary heat source if theiy are set on an air heat pump.  -  irish21  2015-11-13 10:35:59 (283 views)
        
        I think it's more of a capacity and sizing question.  -  RKA  2015-11-12 14:11:07 (280 views)
        
        it's a physics issue.  -  irish21  2015-11-13 10:33:50 (296 views)

        How long did you run it at 0F ambient?   -  520  2015-11-13 14:52:07 (269 views)
        
        I use it in the garage.  -  RKA  2015-11-13 20:21:46 (284 views)
        
        You're arguing against points I did not make.  -  irish21  2015-11-13 13:10:06 (287 views)
        
        I believe they are more effective below 40F than you state.  -  RKA  2015-11-13 20:13:21 (273 views)
        
        Once again, I never argued they're not at all effective below 40 degrees.  -  irish21  2015-11-14 15:01:50 (289 views)
        
        agreed.   -  ModifiedA4  2015-11-14 16:22:13 (275 views)

    - you mean 5 head units and 1 or 2 compressors? - Seattle_Scott_inside_a_Virtual_Machine 2015-11-10 21:35:09 (296 views)
      - 5 units total, head units and compressors - PaulW 2015-11-11 08:17:54 (303 views)
        
        Sounds deluxe. I have 4 heads and one compressor. All heads have to be set to heat or cool - Seattle_Scott_inside_a_Virtual_Machine 2015-11-11 14:26:18 (284 views)
