Dave Hounddriver Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 Ahh, I see. Maybe they have a big reservoir that has to be emptied? When I looked at getting one years ago, the installer said he would have to put a hole through the wall. Perhaps it was for the draining, or perhaps it was to blow out the hot air, or both. I decided against it so never found out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I suppouse this can be thought of similar to how it's possible to use ONE inside unit to HEAT several rooms. Heated/chilled air from ONE inside unit can be used for several rooms IF A/ the floor plan let air circulate between the space wanted to get effect in by it's open B/ OR have ventilation BETWEEN the rooms. If they are placed in strategic spots the air circulate good by the move the one unit make, otherwice there need to be fans in the vents. By fans and vent pipes it's even possible to use it for space elsewhere. (I have the type A solution in my house, one is enough for a 2 room and kitchen, plus some to a hallway. The rest of the house don't suit to have type A solution, I haven't done anything there.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonHenk Posted November 24, 2015 Posted November 24, 2015 I purchased a 3hp split type aircon with solar assist. Just delivered today. Will be installed tomorrow. Supposed to save up to 35% on electric cost. I really won't know because I have nothing to compare. My electric gets read tomorrow as well, so I'll let you know in a month what it costs to run 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnMyWay Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 Passing along advice from Bruce, our inactive member and air con expert in Florida. Quote: If you are installing new, buy a good surge protector for the house AND...... this will confound your electrician there, but...... make sure he (watch him do it) ties 5+ tight knots, one after the other in each line for each AC. Electricity has known properties and a spike has trouble getting past knots. Each progressive knot drops the spike voltage. But there is no trouble with 230 getting through the knots. Same for your TV cords... 5+ knots stops most spikes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth mentioning is that all 3 of my Units has a Separate Circuit Breaker each just to the left or right of the units.( depending where the power cable came from the Roof eaves) level with the Units. Seems I may have had a decent installer, Fingers crossed for you Ron :thumbsup: Jack :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
