[RE-wrenches] mini splits

[Chris Mason]

Jay,
We offer to install an AC unit with our larger installations to remove
humidity from the installation location.
Always install an inverter unit, set it to about 86 degrees to cool the
room economically.
We use Gree, very reliable.
The biggest issue has been properly tightening the compression connections.
Use a torque wrench and crows foot wrenches.
Also you will need a vacuum pump to vacuum the lines. A lot of installers
don't and it will kill the compressor over time.
