I hooked up a mini-split on my own as a weekend project, despite most guys saying it's a bad idea. Taking it slow and double-checking the lines kept it running cool all summer. Do you really think all DIY jobs end in trouble, or can they work out?
I notice a lot of mini-split systems in homes during my flooring work. The indoor units are sometimes placed way too high or tucked in a corner. I heard poor placement can mess with airflow and cooling. But I'm not an expert, so I want to ask you pros. Is there a basic guide for where to mount these things? I've seen techs put them where it's easy, not where it works best. What should we look for to avoid common mistakes?
Honestly, it saves time and the leaks show up anyway during vacuum.
