The best night's sleep you'll have since you were a baby.


Udo,
Is this anything like Anthrax.:?::P:biggrin:

Over the last month the leaking problem got progressively worse. We had about 2 liters of water dripping on the floor every hour. Last Monday, I called the guy who installed our
Tranes, Omar Rodriguez in San Jose. He showed up within two hours of my call and right on time with (get this) 5 guys! They did all kinds of tests and determined that the drain hose was blocked. He said he would be back on Tuesday morning to tear into the block wall and repair it. He showed up Tuesday 30 minutes EARLY with......5 guys! They tore into the wall and found that when they had installed the unit, they had put a kink in the drain line. 1 1/2 hours later the repair was finished, the wall was patched (to my satisfaction) and they were gone. I gritted my teeth and asked, "how much?" He said, "oh no senor, es gratis, trabajo de warranty." Three days later everything is working perfectly and I couldn't be happier with Omar, his work ethic, and my units.

We installed the Trane mini-splits last November. Prior to that we had a 16 year old ducted system in the casa. We were assured we would save on electricity during the summer. I was skeptical. Well we can now do some comparisons. We have not changed out lifestyle. We have kept the A/C temperature the same as last summer. We run the units the same amount of time as last summer. We run the ceiling fans the same. Lighting is the same. We have the electric bills from mid July through mid September - this year (just got it yesterday) and last. OUR CFE ELECTRIC BILL HAS BEEN CUT IN HALF for those 2 months!

We are thrilled! Mini-splits rock! I figure the new system will pay for itself in 2 to 3 years.

oxxo,
Glad you got that solved. My 4 ton unit (2 one ton and one 2 ton) produce at least 5 to 7 gallons in an 6 to 7 hour span.
Would hate to have that run down the floor. I save that condensation water for my houseplants.
And yes, our electric bill is lower then it used to be using wall units. And the cooling results are far superior.

Question to those with mini-splits.

If any are "off the grid", how big a generator are you using?

Thanks


Ken


I would be interested in knowing this too. Our solar system does everything we need and we would be buying a bigger generator just to run AC. Tom

Also good for any distilled water uses.

Didn't really know that, but figured as much.
Have been using it for my batteries and also to mop floors.
Doesn't leave waterstains like our, very hard, tapwater.
