Help me Install 3 EG4 Mini Split Solar Heat Pumps

[MrM1]

That's the one

So Smart Life-Smart Living runs the EG4s?

 

[MrM1]

I'm gonna install it ... if my phone starts smoking, I'm gonna PM you for your phone number ?

 

[Plum Crazy Rob]

I dunno. Do these Smart devices all run some standard communications protocol or such?? Options are similar in Smart Life app to Solar Aircon

 

[MrM1]

But Ur using
Smart life?

if my phone starts smoking,

Get it a nicotine patch.

 

[Plum Crazy Rob]

Not for the Air Conditioner - just those two power strips.

 

[MrM1]

Power Strips ?? Oh.

I use TP Link Kasa Gear for that Junk

 

[MrM1]

Nitrogen test passed at the 560psi. Vac pump running.

12k is in on the grid/ inverter

Much quieter than the 24k

 

[MrM1]

Well I'd probably have to say after running both at 12K and a 24K if you have the square footage need and can afford the extra solar panel space, I'd go for the 24. The fan blows much harder inside. And it seems to cool a room down quicker.

I know I thought I might have preferred three of the 12K units, but now comparing the two for the larger part of my house I'm glad I got the 24K units

But that said the 12K is already down to a vent temp of 53.2° f (It made it down to 51f) and it is 89 outside. So it cools just fine. It just does not move as much air in the room as the 24k. But wide open on the grid, it only uses about 990 Watts or less.

It is more then adequate for a larger size bedroom and ensuite bathroom

 

[MrM1]

Done except for the valence. That will be a custom job.

This deserves some attention. Signature Solar told you to use that?? I recognize that as the Smart Life app I use to control a couple smart power strips. Whats the advantage of using it?View attachment 149924

The manufacture that makes the mini splits sent it to me. He said this can be used in the mean time until the android app is fixed. ?

Oooooo. So they are working on the Air Con app?

 

[Plum Crazy Rob]

Ah. Good to know. Can you show a screenshot inside the app see if it looks different than the Solar Aircon app?? MrM1 did you experiment with that ??

The 12k has a 15W indoor blower motor, and the 24k 45W. So your observations seem in line with that.

 

[MrM1]

I did not, too scared

But adequate for what it is.
