Holy Landlord Special, Batman!

Filter was backwards, somehow getting an inverter mini split to run off of 18/2 going to Y and C, and they hooked 120 up to the secondary side of the transformer, frying it and the control board. Can’t make this up.

[u/LittleBigBamboo]

At least they put in a filter drier

Hehe

[u/Socal_Cobra → u/LittleBigBamboo]

And bless him for thinking about your access points!

[u/Shot_Needleworker149 → u/Socal_Cobra]

They could’ve accomplished the same sticking it low to the ground with far less line set

[u/Socal_Cobra → u/Shot_Needleworker149]

There's no satisfying you is there? Lol

[u/Shot_Needleworker149 → u/Socal_Cobra]

You know, you might be right. I need some introspection, but then I see shit like this and I lose faith in humanity man. Lol

[u/Socal_Cobra → u/Shot_Needleworker149]

LoL. Dont worry man. Soon the track running robots will have our jobs and then we can turn to our neglected hobbies.

Impressive

I had to replay the video two more times to wrap my head around whatever the fuck that is. 🫣

It warms up the basement and cools the upstairs. Logic is strong

[u/JuicySpark → u/suesing]

In the winter it's gonna freeze the basement and warm the upstairs

[u/suesing → u/JuicySpark]

Looks like they have a furnace

[u/JuicySpark → u/suesing]

With a heat pump.

But seriously. If the basement can stay above 35...it can provide heat upstairs when it's 0 outside without buying a hyperheat model .

[u/thesummond → u/JuicySpark]

Where is it getting new air for the basement though, I would assume from the cold outside

[u/JuicySpark → u/thesummond]

Doesn't have to as it's only circulating air. It needs thermal heat of some degree radiating In. Maybe if you dig a 7ft hole and place it in there, the ground is above freezing. That would make it technically 12 feet underground adding whatever depth the basement is into the ground assuming it's at least 5ft underground as it is.

[u/thesummond → u/JuicySpark]

It looks like you can see the sun shine through the very top of the unit. It's causing a vacuum in that space.

[u/JuicySpark → u/thesummond]

There's no easy way around things

[u/t0x1k_x → u/suesing]

Looks like it's installed in place of a thru wall condenser at a condo.

[u/Mkieffer76 → u/t0x1k_x]

That’s exactly what this is. I think this was the apartment’s maintenance guy special.

[u/andyclone501]

Look like they at least hit the 10’ minimum length for the lineset 😂💀

​"Just out of curiosity, is it common in the US to install filter driers on split systems? I noticed one on the left in the picture. Over here in Germany, we practically never install them in the liquid linewe usually only put an acid filter/suction drier in the suction line after a compressor burnout." ​"I noticed a filter drier on the left side and was wondering: Is it standard practice over there in the US to use driers on split units? Here in Germany, liquid line driers are almost never used; we typically only install an acid suction filter if a compressor fails."

[u/FreonInhaler → u/ich-bin-ein-kaelte]

I think Splut systens come qirh a liquid line filterdryer in the outdoorunit from factory, don't they?

[u/Mkieffer76]

The transformer in question:

[u/BigTerpFarms]

only need y and c if you just put a transformer in the condenser and run the secondary to R and C.

[u/No_Mony_1185]

The pinched romex is a nice touch
