  1. I’ve learned over the years , there’s this stuff called Nylog . It’s pretty much a liquid gasket that’s compatible with 410A and r22 . It comes in handy when making your flare connections and I will stand by it

  5. Lol. goes to shed to look for a massive rotary hammer drill with a 3 inch coring bit so I can start my project “oh would you look at that, I don’t have that. *Calls the local hvac installers to do this for me, as any homeowner should.

  6. I don't GET it. Why do you need refrigerant and compressors in all the mini-units?? Why not have a central unit with cooling coils, and just circulate antifreeze (through insulated pipes) to the wall units???
