MASSIVE Savings With The Senville AURA Mini Split

They have no built in em heat. Getting a heat pump mini split, it gets anywhere under 35 degrees is a waste of money if you want to heat with it. Your condenser outside will just freeze up, making the unit throw an error code an stop working. They are great for cooling. Garbage for heating anywhere it gets really cold. Which is why you dont see heat pump units up north. Unless they are duel fuels using a gas furnace as em heat instead of electric heat

Love these multi zone mini split units

The LETO 12,000 I just purchased and installed did not have a template, the AURA 18,000 I purchased last year did. If I were to turn back my clock I would only buy AURA models.

The crimped connectors on the wire ends are a makeshift ferrals, best for stranded wires.

Is it not necessary to pressure test with nitrogen?

Numbered wiring tape is your friend.

The line sets you were using do not look like the Senville provided product.

The ground rod will not clear a ground fault, and if there is a ground fault,the condenser will be live voltage,and could kill someone who touches it.
It needs an equipment ground wire run back to the panel to clear a fault.

If you read that torque spec in the manual as "50 foot-pounds" rather than what it says, "50 Newton-meters," you will over-torque that fitting by 14 foot-pounds, or in other words, by about 40%. just say'n

You need a true ground wire back to main panel, not to the actual earth. That will not clear a fault and actually kill someone. This is install is a huge liability.

Separately you did not do a nitrogen pressure test for leaks. The system works under pressure and a pressure test will proactively find the issues.

Need to run a ground wire back to panel.

You said massive savings-what did the equipment cost?

You make great reviews. Please create one realworld comparison between R410a, R22 and R32 refrigerant systems.

Nice install

So this is basically a rebranded Midea All Eazy Pro Mini Split. Very good and efficient units!

"Window Unit"

oh, the irony, LoL

Hola 👋 señor Dave!!! That was a great video very informative and educational and the best of all was that you showed the process of the installation …You are the best in A/C keep up the great work and content…You have a great day and weekend…Saludos!!!! 👋😃👋

Cowboys are real, I have proof

Only one serious problem with splits that I found was how messed up with fungus and other crap the blower wheels can get. Takes 3-4 years but boy can they get plugged up with stuff, it can even effect the blower out put. They are hard to clean, those blower wheels. They only tell you to clean those simple filters which I found rarely dirty. I still love mine though.

Hi the diy hvac guy i replaced my condenser fan motor ran into a very big problem the fan blade was rusted onto the shaft i had to cut the shaft from the old motor drill a hole in the shaft with a lot of hammering it came out it took me 30 min to get that shaft loose. My condenser runs like new now.

Did this not come with an insert for the bore you made thru the wall?

The outdoor unit should be elevated off the pad for defrost cycle in the heat mode to let the water run off so you don’t get ice build up and cause damage to the coil when it freezes oops very important info for your diy people

The drain is not meant to go that way behind the head unit. There should be a plug on the unit near the hole you made that can be removed and put to the other side. Also if you remove the outer shell of the wall unit you can seal the hole behind the unit and will prevent more dust entering

Good job Dave, thank you!

Where did you purchase that micron gauge shut off valve that u connected to the 5/16 appion tool

Wouldn’t it be better to Y both sides of the drains so there’s never a drainage problem, heard some rust on inside with only one drain hole used…

Also could use pvc for drain with adapter where possible.

Corrugated tubing always builds up bacteria, it’s flexible, but definitely not durable and on longer runs that’s definitely not long enough supplied from the factory.

The auxiliary ground rod is a bad idea! Wasn’t there an equipment grounding conductor available? If lightning strikes you are intentionally sending voltage up that ground rod, through the home and down the service ground

What happens to Mr Cool diy precharged systems in 2025 with new refrigerant requirement?

Whats the best universal system for these side discharge inverters ?

Senville Aura v Cooper and Hunter Astoria: samething?

Hey nice video tutorial
You said two 30 amp
Did you mean two 15 amp fuses ?
Nice units I’m going to look into one

Please do us a favor. I, and others, use extensions in our browsers that do not show those on screen links you point to. Some also use a popular browser that has a built in video player that performs the same. Please included those on screen links you point to in the "more" section. Thanks! By the way, I am in the market for a mini split system and I'm so glad I found your video on this particular brand.

Sir. I followed your link to Amazon for this unit. The description for the unit says: WHAT’S INCLUDED: Includes indoor air handlers, outdoor condenser and installation kit with 16ft. line set and communication wire. Important note: requires professional installation. So it only comes with 16 ft line set. I followed the link on Amazon to the Senville store and they do not list line sets longer than 16 ft. I need a 25 ft and a 35 ft for my application. Ideas? Anyone?

Natural gas heat is cheaper

Minimum is 500 micron. When i install mini’s I pull them down to double digits…

it must have taken a lot of time to film this so I will need to give you a thumbs up just for that. Very informatiive. Pls comment on senville quality vs other industry leaders such as gree, daikin and mitsubishi or are they on another level and shouldn't be compared?

You should install a sleeve through the wall to seal the insulation to stop moisture infiltration into the wall cavity.
Filters on those units are piss poor filters. Rock catchers only.

Can both air handlers run at the same time?

lol - a ground rod is not an effective ground to clear a fault. Need to run the copper wire back to the main panel. nice install and looks awesome. Have any videos that talk about using a ducted minisplit to replace standard ac that sites on top of a furnace?

oh my.. First love the flip flops :-0 second, that THHN was just bare in the wall? No ground? No conduit? No Romex? That really should have been fixed!

Thanks for the great explanation. Well done.

Did you not have to add refrigerant to make up for the additional head unit/line set?

Is that 25ft charge for one line set or all the line sets combined seems like you’d have more than 25ft between both those heads

I like the safety flip flops in the video. Did you have a link for that?

Just installed 150 of them in an upgraded military barracks building at Ft. Stewart GA. Their last AC/heaters were like 40 years old.

DIY HVAC GUY: Tell me you are in Central CA. And I’ll have you do this in our home. Our BEHEMOTH roof mounted HVAC gave up 3 days ago. We already know we’re going with a mini split technology!

Hey bud, wicked videos. I was curious if you have any videos regarding my AC unit continuously running even though it hits the temperature. I have it set to 73, and it constantly runs. It may shit off once every now and then, but for the most part, it's always on
