hello everyone today we're going to do a mini splits Senville heat pump installation
and we're gonna walk you through the step by steps so you can do this at home
without having to use a an HVAC contractor if you are handy if you're if
you've installed a ceiling fan or a lamp or done some work around the house you
can do this yourself as well so I will post a link to the sin ville unit
because it does not come with the refrigerant lines which you see here or
with the communicating wire between the two units but I'll give you a link where
you can buy it and it all comes in one package first thing you want to do on
the indoor unit is put the bracket in you want to make sure these arrows are
pointing up so you want to put one screw there first and put a level you can
place a level between these two areas here you see that place level and once
you get a level get a marker as you can see I've already done it to mark some
areas where you're going to put some screws like you see there and then you
want to make sure you find a stud so obviously right here there's a stud so
that's where I got my screw I'm gonna put leave that screw there and then I'm
gonna use a metal screw here that's gonna go through the metal and get the
stud in the back that'll give it a reinforcement and here we just have
anchor screws in there but that's the first step so we're gonna pause and go
ahead and do that next okay so the next step here we just drilled round hole
where there are wiring and our refrigerant lines are going to go
through now on the outside of the building we already did that too you
want to make sure is that it's slanted this way so since your drain line is
also going to go through there that the water drains that way if you do it like
this you might have issues so if this holes here on the outside you want it
down maybe about here so the water will drain easily out of the building next we
took the the wiring kit that comes with it that's basically going to
the signal from the outdoor unit to the indoor unit because the outdoor units
the one is going to plug to the outside receptacle so if you notice you have a
red black white and then your your green wire which is your ground and on these
blocks on the central units you have red black and yellow so you want to match
them all up the same way except for the yellow which is going to be matched up
with the white so you're gonna have one two and three so red black white and
then the ground is going to go on this connection here which is the universal
symbol for ground so you want to make sure you do that that way and then once
we do this this block comes loose with that screw in the middle we're gonna put
this block back in there put the plate over it cover it up and we're good to go
the wire eventually goes through the back of the unit and it's gonna go
through the wall with your drain line and your refrigerant lines as well so
this is the final install on the inside just hang it on the bracket and you're
good to go on the inside okay and then on the outside what you want to do what
you see there is a part of the refrigerant line cover kit and we have
some here as you can see and that'll just cover up your refrigerant lines and
make it look number one make it look like a really nice install number to
protect it from the elements such as UV rays from the Sun and so forth so that's
something we're gonna do next and we'll take it from there
okay so you see how we already have the cover on there and we have our zip ties
on there and we're gonna continue doing that until we get to the unit looking
good so far okay so one thing we did is when we came down the covers we just
decided to bring our drain line there there's a little sense and try to drain
the water that way just have it come straight out put a little pee trap in
there so you don't get the bugs in and what we did is we open the hole through
the bottom there see if you can see it there and we'll just put some caulking
over it in just a few minutes so one thing you want to look out for on these
kits they only give you X amount of elbows like these to turn a corner are
actually only one which is fine that's all we needed so you got an elbow there
we need it another one here and we couldn't but this is okay like if water
comes through here if it rains it'll just go straight down that's a short run
anyway we'll just put some caulking around it here we had to kind of cut it
with some snips but will apply some caulking there make it look a little
nicer but you can also order more of those elbows I believe but if not make
sure your last run like this one here which is a short one is the one you use
it on okay so one thing you want to keep in mind when it comes to the wiring to
the outdoor unit is you want to keep the same pattern on these one two and three
numbers as the actual wiring you had inside because up here they're different
than they were on the indoor unit so if you remember number one was red number
two was black number three was white and that's the same way I did it here on the
signal wire the wire that comes from the indoor unit to the outdoor unit now on
the next two connectors that you see there the L and the n that's the power
that's going into your supply or to your outlet or receptacle so your white is
gonna be the neutral and then the else for your live wire that's going to be
the black one so if you buy a three prong plug that you can get at online
you can order it on Amazon you're gonna notice that that's black white then
you're gonna have a green which is your ground anywhere in the chassis is ground
so you can connect it the way we did it there and then if you notice on this
side this is your ground it's connected there so you can do it that way that's
can see what we what you also want to make sure you do is these wires make
sure that there's a loop on them so if it were to rain you don't get water
going inside the unit so if it rains the water will kind of drip down here and
kind of lay here and then just drip down and not make it inside the unit so this
is the signal wire going to the inside unit and then this wire is the one that
plugs so you want to also make sure you have a GFI outlet the last thing you do
just plug it in test it which we already did and you want to also test it on
air-conditioning mode so you can make sure that your drain line drains
properly so do those steps and you should be able to install this by
yourself if you have any questions about the install or any comments please feel
free to leave them in the comment section below I usually respond within
24 hours also anything and everything we used on this video as far as accessories
and supplies we will link them in the description so you can get it again the
unit is made by sin ville it is a very easy clear cut and dry install but again
if you have any trouble along the way just post it in the comments below reach
