    Does mini field need surge protection?

    I made a couple posts asking for SPD advice. I believe Midnight Solar is what I'll use. This is what they recommend for my house, eg4 18kpv, batteries & pv's... "For your system we would recommend an MNSPD-300-AC outside with a 2p 30a breaker in the outside breaker box to protect everything...

    What Mini-Split did you use, and Why?

    Oops. It's the 18k, not the 24 that I'm referring to. Too much going on.

    Siemens QSA spd?

    It would appear that Siemens QSA spd does not warranty anything plugged in. Apparently their spd is a pos. I emailed midnight solar with ?'s.

    No signature. You can fill it out, but they want the tech's license #, name & company name.

    Before you pull the trigger on that 24k at amazon, you might wanna check out the floor/ceiling mount unit. They only sell it on senville's site and it's the only one on sale ($1,300 before tax/free ship). Why, I have no idea, but it's an aura series unit, so -22f in winter, 10 yr comp/5 yr...

    The hvac tech was once a co-worker of my neighbor who is basically and electrician and the guy, who with my help, who did the entire ac side of my hybrid solar inverter, transfer switch, etc. I would call them for sure. They are "verbally" cool with us doing everything and I had actually found...

    Senville tech rep answer to my question... why is it recommended for mini split compressors to be protected from rain & sun when central hvac units no not recommend this... "Even though heavy rains cannot damage your AC unit, the winds accompanied by the same rain can leave dirt, leaves, twigs...

    No, not without this thermostat that I posted above, though there is that xye block right next to the control wire connections that nobody seems to know wtf that is (the thermostat they're sending does not connect to this block, but instead connects straight to the mother board).

    Shit. I haven't researched it at all. I'll try it out before I put wires in walls. Thanks 420. I just read the few reviews. At least they don't censor negative reviews. I've got pics and wiring instructions from home slice tech guy at Senville, so I might be in good shape. Does anyone happen...

    Senville was what my research led me to. $1,300 for this unit + $50 tax + $150 for hvac guy (now they're warrantied 10/comp 5 all parts) $30 to pour pad + $15 for the breaker + $15 for concrete bolts & masonry bit and the wire was stolen from the central air unit downstairs. This is what they're...

    So, got this thing started today. My hvac guy connects the lines with noglock blue that prevents leaks, vacuums the system and does something else for $150. On cool mode, it was pulling 5.3 amps. It heats well and it cools well. The blower from my high efficiency zero clearance wood burning...

    Siemens QSA spd?

    Ok, but what about pre-inverter? This qsa located inside the panel isn't going to do the inverter any good.

    Siemens QSA spd?

    I've been on the hunt for a surge protector. I'm wondering if anyone has anything good or bad to write about this one. It was recommended to me from a tech at Siemens which is the manufacturer of my panel. They also recommended First Surge, but I like the QSA spd as it looks like it'd be a...

    Yes they can. Originally, that's how I planned to mount it. There's sections of the sheet metal that can be punched out on all over the bottom and the back.
