Air Con is for wimps 😂
Me working all day doing HVAC, come home and watch Linus do my job..
As far as I've heard this isn't the case but if ducted systems use fresh outside air. That would be really cool because you got fresh conditioned air into your house that way <br><br>But then again, I don't think this is how ducted systems work honestly

How the hell is Canada of all places not insulating their houses?
Day 15 of asking for a framework laptop 16 with 8tb storage, (2x16gb RAM), the rtx 5070 12gb, with 2 USB C module, 1 diplay port module, 1 SD card module, and 1 backlit keyboard.
If you already have ducked air for the house, or most of the house. I would greatly recommend upgrading it or extending it instead of installing mimi-splits. They have multiple issues:<br> 1. They bring the fans dirrectly in the room, which increases their perceived volume, Linus should know this we all know he hates fan noise.<br> 2. The refrigerant run is longer and more complex, meaning more potential points of failure for when a leak innevitably happen.<br> 3. The ammount of water these pull out of the air is more than one might expect, having water constantly running will innevitably lead to a leak. Water always finds a way, and water is the ennemy of houses.<br> 4. Air filters, now that your filtration is done at the mini-split, you need to replace/clean more filters, even if technically less often. Also, these filters look extremely weak and wouldn't catch much. A good filter also needs to be replaced every season or two for good air quality.
This guy knows technology technology connections is amazing
I thought this was supposed to be a relatable series of things you can do to your own home, not tear it to the bones and make it extremely expensive
Wow this is the earliest I’ve been to ur videos bro
The not being able to run AC and heat at the same time in different rooms is the result of having just the one outside compressor. If you have two i.e. the bedrooms on one the rest of the house on the other you can have cooling in the bedrooms while heating another part of the house (or vice versa of course). Here in New Zealand it is common to have one outside unit paired with one inside unit so you have totally independent control.
shoutout to BRIAN THE ELECTRICIAN!
My elbow got a built in torque tool 😂
Getting an HVAC company to come out and fill your DIY job can be a real hassle. Just had a buddy go through this after he replaced his own stuff. Most just told him no over the phone since their company didn't install it in the first place. Others wanted a ridiculous amount of money to do it.
Ok I have legitimately been looking into mini-split heat pumps but for a different configuration. Basically I already have a heat pump that I use to heat my pool. Even in the summer it only keeps a temp of about 65-70 degrees which is too cold for anyone to use, especially the kiddos. I chose a heat pump because it is more efficient than a gas heater. I didn't even realize until I got it installed though that it basically grabs that heat from the ambient air and dumps it into the pool. I got thinking then. Couldn't I just have it grab the heat from the interior of the house instead? I mean that is basically what a water source heat pump is and does. Another funny thing is that the pool heater I have is actually a higher capacity than the AC unit I have for the house. I am currently trying to see how I could retrofit mini-splits on my current unit but I really wish that was just a standard configuration for them.
Untrue that you can't mix heating and cooling in the same system. Not common in single home residential, but theres absolutely systems that let you take heat from one room and dump it in another that is in heating mode.
I love how this video is out just in time for the cool breeze of fall
Odds that the LTT CEO is the customer?
In the next episode : Linus digs a trench
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=313">5:13</a> ya I wonder where else in the world people have House made from wooden structures like this 😂😂
I love the Linus house fixing episodes, reminds me of wholesome TV like Home Improvement back in the 90s.
loved the friends callback
Thumbanail should be "DIY Installation" there are people doing actual DIY Heatpumps.
Wow, in italy 99,9% of AC are mini split, you can't retrofit ducts in any house here.
Lol. 32 degrees in Celsius is 90 Fahrenheit. Being born and raised in Florida and living two thirds of my life there. That's a nice day.
-15c = -59F ??!?
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=1126">18:46</a>. Not true for when you have independent external units, one for each internal split unit. Then one could be heating, while other could be cooling.
wonder how you'll thermostat them all
Waiting for Linus to drop it ..
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=1129">18:49</a> if you have per room systems, so each room(zone) is its own loop, then this isn’t an issue. Each one can be a a different temperature, mode(cooling, heating, drying) and not affect each other at all.
There are hydronic options that don't need gas charging.<br>You can have an external sealed monoblock system that outputs hot or cold water. (alternatively u can have a split system with an internal and external unit, where the internal unit is used for heating and cooling water.<br>There are a few big advantages. One is that less gas is used, which in turn is often cheaper and safer for the environment.<br>Internally you only have to route insulated water pipes. You can still use internal unit similar to the one Linus used with the change that water is used for heating and cooling.<br>Also the heated water can be used for floor heating, which is one of the most comfortable heating you will ever experience. Now if you use floor heating it is a good idea to use a different kind of cooling, that can still be run from the cold water provided by the external monoblock. Floor-heating can also be used for cooling but is not that pleasant. There is something to keep in mind with floor heating. The amount of water in the heating system is not negligible and the house has to be built in such a way to support the additional weight, but that luckily that is rarely an issue (at least here in the EU).<br>I personally prefer hydronic system to split system of the type Linus installed. Especially when the renovation s are as extensive as here.<br>But if the renovations are smaller and you are not tearing walls and installing a lot of new piping a few split units are far easier to implement and are a great option.
I have yelled at so many of your cooling, plumbing, refrigeration, HVAC, videos. This time so far, Great job! I can tell you had a pro there helping you and guiding you and lending you their not-so-cheap tools. THANK YOU! Great call FINALLY! I have but one small note so far and it's just a good trick to save time and effort. Cut the insulation a little long and push it back onto the line. You can hold it in place with some vice grips or gently clamp the tubing cutter onto the line to hold the insulation back. If you cut it right, you'll have just enough to go up to the back of the nut. If the insulation is durable enough you can even go over the nut and butt it up to the other piece of insulation and then insulation tape it. And yes, do use insulation tape otherwise you'll have condensation (or ice in the case of a freezer) at that insulation joint. <br>Good call on the Nylog or Leak Lock sealant too. Too many manufacturers say to just use some oil, especially on their quick connect fittings. Those especially always leak. Flare fittings generally do a very good job of sealing and don't need sealant, but it is cheap insurance and the fittings are durable and totally fine with it and it does a good job at preventing leaks. 0.003¢ of sealant, or years of intermittent HVAC effectiveness and refrigerant refills at hundreds of dollars each time. I recommend the sealant too.
I know it's pretty obvious based on thumbnails and usual upload days, but having a title that clearly marks these as Tech House vids would've been mint
Linus has lost so many hosts/ presenters in the last few months he is the only one that's credited for the tech house now. LOL!<br><br>(For the record, this is just in jest ;) )
You did not do a sound test,which would be the most important part for my home. I do want the cassettes
Please tell me your drywaller/joint guy is Vancouver Carpenter
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=199">3:19</a> cool runnings?
This was recorded in june? How big is their backlog?
Gotta lead into the segment with background music too to achieve that old sitcom feel
Reilly’s intro to this always gets me to laugh.

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=837">13:57</a> -15C to -59F is not right, -15C is 5F
plumbing for condensation?
just a big shed
Awesome video Linus - Definitely wish we connected prior to the install but we'd love to discuss all things indoor air quality, heating & cooling. Especially while the house is still gutted & easy to access. Cheers and goodluck. Love the content!
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=591">9:51</a> why do you even need to cut the lines, just leave a little service loop. Much easier than messing with a new fitting, especially if it was already tested to be leakproof.
i miss Bocabola.. :/
85 degrees isn't even bad bro the southern U.S. is like 20 degrees hotter sometimes easily
cool runnings reference... BALL KNOWLEDGE
I have 2 (5 ton) inverter ducked units run by home assistant. 2 air handlers and 2 outdoor units. Cost around $8000 usd. We did it ourselves.
Hello
Linus do you like air conditioning
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=335">5:35</a> <br><br>“Now we make sure the ready rod is tight. Uhh it’s not”<br><br>The ready rod isn’t ready, ya don’t say?
What about ventilation? Energy recovery ventilator? Maybe decentralized ones would be perfect here since you are not laying ducts.
RIP to Linus’ son who finally got a job and moved out of his parents house
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=640">10:40</a> - Linus Looney Toon Sebastian strikes again!
My #1 reason for preferring a ducted system over a split system is noise. <br>A ducted system moves all of the noisy components out of the living spaces.<br><br>Given the amount of content Linus has related to moving noisy components out of his spaces, it is surprising that this wasn't the deciding factor. 🤔
Technology connections my GOAT mentioned
Variable inverter(fancy name for dc pwm control) mini splits are great especially in tropical regions of the world. I have a few, and they make the summers bearable. And, zone control is peak, literally per room control. And, even if you have them on in 2 or 3 spaces, as long as it’s not leaking out, they easily maintain the temperature within 0.5°C (thanks to their pwm tech) and sip power, I’ve seen as low as 75-180w on a 2ton unit maintaining 23°C all night. <br><br>If you have a hybrid solar setup(grid+on site batteries), you literally don’t pay for running the aircons much of the year, cuz as I said tropical climates. And, when it goes in the low teens in winter, all mine are heatpumps so can very efficiently heat up too(they’re like 4.5 COP for heating).
It's weird not seeing Boca in the tech house, salute bud🫡
Duct work does have the advantage of making your whole house the same temperature. Not just one room.
Do you have other means for heat for winter??
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=142">2:22</a> - Is that THE Smith Blade?
Auwh man! Wish they would've answered my email regarding a potential HVAC / IAQ partnership. Wouldve loved to hook em up.
Please check Before you buy if you have a professional that will check and hook up the unit they didn't install. Professionals in Oklahoma won't touch a dyi unit and require a permit and their own unit you purchase from them for installation
Linus... when it gets up to 33 degrees here in America the ice starts to thaw (so not very hot at all). You may need to check to make sure you have your thermometer set to the 'F' setting.
This is cool and all but I wonder how relevant it is to your target demo (Millennials and Gen Z) who are probably never going to own a home.
That’s cold <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=20">0:20</a>
The fact that the editor didn't cut in Riley singing 'Brian the electrician' has disappointed me, immeasurably. My day is now ruined.
There are heatpump systems that allow you to run heat and cool in different rooms simultaneously. They're called VRF heat recovery systems.
Linus also when they go into cooling mode on the inside for deicing the outside coil, the fans do not come on
32 degrees..nice day to have a hot cup of coffee
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1H20xp8Brnc&t=838">13:58</a> somebody messed up that conversion. Only 5 deg F, not -59 F
JUNE how far behind are we updated?
Are you going to insilate the copper pipes that were without insulation at the end of the video.
Love the John Candy clip
I hope they do some smart lighting stuff I really hope the try Lutron switches.<br>I really with there was a POE lighting that you could get. Most lights use a max of 30 watts.
People getting rid of gas fired is insanity to me. <br>I know electric is cheaper there, but like… for how long? I just trust gas more to heat my home comfortably and affordably
I use electric oil filled radiator heaters for my supplemental heating when the temperature drops below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. It saves me money and stops the mini split from being over used. If it gets down to 0 degrees Fahrenheit the mini split alone will not heat your house. I also have backup generator ,kerosene and propane heaters for power outages during winter
$11k USD for this system ? Huh... That's actually pretty good.
Man id wish i could install these units. I think the wall mounted ones are ugly AF. Sadly its difficult to do in reinforced concrete. I guess the best i could settle for is in floor heating and cooling. I still need to convince the HOA and somehow route the AC lines to my existing tankless heater but thats doable i think.
With regard to your initial comments regarding insulation, surely having insulation would make it hotter, as it would keep the heat in, not allowing it to dissipate upwards?😐
Celsius is a drink, not a temperature
How many homes does Linus evrn own?!
Wow is it that bad in BC?<br><br>It's funny to see the difference in building standards just between provinces.
if your system was running on 4 lines you could be running cooling or heating independent in any room and you could use a normal water heater as a cooling or heat battery saving on energy ..
Love the tech house intro so much 😁
Linus got a Smithblade I see.
You guys giving Luke this house?? That he kinda sick!
Thats so cool. Or hot depends
USGBC, LEED, Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC) have ton's of experience in this field, a suggestion to design an sustainable way.
I guess mini splits are only cheaper if you do it yourself. Locally I only get quotes that are 30% more expensive then normal systems.
Teknologia
i love my best house building youtube channels - LTT and Bitwit. Damn, i wish those guys could review something with tech - i think they would NAILED it!
Mini-splits are okay, but they still don't compare to a proper ducted system. Ductless equipment has a shorter life span(10-15 vs 20-30 years), exchange less air per hour, remove less moisture, and have less air filtration ability. A multi-zone system like this also suffers from some inherent and unsolvable issues like the smallest zone overheating and over cooling due to capacity issues and the outdoor unit needing to push refrigerant through the coil of units that are not calling. Mini-splits are a good solution for certain situations but are in no way a better solution than a ducted dual fuel heat pump system. Also, 600psi is way too high to pressure test any system with ERV's. That amount of pressure can bend the needles inside the ERV's. 350-400psi is industry standard.
30 degrees is hot? lol unless youre using the inferior way to measure temp thats cold as shit.
Why are you not using a HRV system? Sure use cooling / heating, but as there will be ALOT of people there, so the air would be needed to be replaced a-lot more often. so a HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation system, is can also recover cooling) would be a no brainer, as you not only need to cool / heat the air, but it also needs to be replaced and then reuse all the cooling and heating for summer for winter to pre heat, and pre cool the air. They do not want to run ducts, but will you then have open windows in summer / winter to be able to breathe also?
