Hello everyone, was just wondering if anyone had some advice on this problem i created.
Basically while working on running the line sets from the EG4 12k mini-split Seer2 288.5 12000 BTU i kinked the copper line and then heard it crack open
I had not hooked it into the outside unit yet so no refrigerant was leaked but the vacuum in the line set was broken.
I talked with signature solar and they were very helpful but are asking me to return the entire outside unit by freight, they would inspect then ship me an entire new outside unit also by freight, which would probably be approaching 700 to 800 in freight costs. Just having new line sets replaced was not an option, and maybe one day they said.
Anybody have any advice? One option is to try a local HVAC company to come help, and i don't mind that, but I've just had some really bad experiences with local HVAC. And well i like doing stuff like this, even if i'm not that good
Maybe repair the line with some copper pipe, then figure out how to re vaccumize it etc?
Anyways any help would be appreciated!
Thank you !
