I don't think I got 'ripped' on the price to begin with. Let me know where I could have gotten one cheaper and I may agree with you. $250 or so cheaper is getting 'ripped' IMO.

I did...

Right around $1600. Factor in electrical, copper and installation on top of that.

The ongoing saga of my mini split continues. I mistakenly did not run any line voltage to the indoor unit for the fan and it calls for 220V. I purchased a 25' box of 14 ga 14/3 wire and fished it...

Thanks for the input guys.

I finally got around to getting a 30 amp box and I'm planning on getting it wired now. I bought a 220V box but it looks like I don't have enough connections. I have the line in which is at the...

So they have fuse reducers so a 15 amp fuse will fit in the 60 amp switch?
I'll check around for a 30 amp disconnect.
Thanks.

I am installing a Mitsubishi mini-split with an indoor and an outdoor unit (MUZ-A15NA). I ran 220V wire from the electrical box outside. It is on a 15 amp breaker as the instructions have it rated...

I got it set up through the BIOS settings.
Thanks for the help.

Fixed the dryer.
It was the fuse located in the heater vent above the element. Thanks for the help.

How can I tell if the element stays on if there is no heat?

The blower motor is working fine, it blows a lot of air out the vent. I ran it with the back off and no ducting, but it never warmed up. The housing with the heating coil never got warm at all.
...

I disconnected all wires from the t-stat and it reads as a short so it should be good. The dryer was pretty clean but I pulled the chute(?) off the back and vacuumed out all the lint around the...

I have a KitchenAid dryer and it runs, but there is no heat output. The vents are pretty clear of debris so I don't think that is an issue. I pulled the heating coil and there is continuity so it...

I'd like to keep my son off the computer when we're I'm not home. Other than taking it with me or any other extreme measures, is there a way I can set a password when the computer boots up so a...

The door wasn't bent when I took off the old seal. I don't think that's the problem.
Any tips on adjusting the door and what I need to do to adjust it?
Thanks.

I have replaced the magnetic seal on my very old Montgomery Ward fridge and I'm having problems getting the door to close. When the top of the door is making contact with the fridge, I have about a...

I need to run wire from my condenser outside to my indoor unit for 12-24VDC. Is thermostat wire sufficient for this? I was going to go with 18-5 just in case one of the wires had a problem.
Thanks.

This is for a bonus room in my attic. I installed a sub panel in the room and I'm going to wire the mini-split off it. I think I'd just go with a disconnect switch/box and nothing more than that. ...

I'm going to go with 12/3 and a 20 amp breaker. Do I need to put a disconnect switch next to the outdoor unit or am I okay with just the breaker inside the house?
Thanks.

I have a 15KBTU mini split unit and the data calls out for 14/3 wire to run 220V, 15 Amps to the condenser. This seems kind of light to me but this is what is called for. My run is going to be...

Well, since there were no replies on the above question, I'll ask another one and see how that goes.
I bought a Mitsubishi, Mr. Slim mini split, 15KBTU, MUZA15NA with MSZA15NA. I'm going to mount...

So I need to pull back the outer shielding of the duct, attach the liner over the metal, then install cable ties. After that, pull the outer shielding over the ties and tape with duct tape? (This...

I have flexible ducting for my heat and air and my house is about 11 years old. All of the tees and branches from the main duct lines are connected by duct tape, which is now starting to give and...

They are all Lutron dimmers. The 3 way is a GL-603PH-DK and the others are GL-600H-DK. They are all rated at 600 watts, but I broke off the ears (sides) on the 3 way, which derated it to 400 watts....

Hi,

I got a lot of great info on wiring a sub panel from this site (tkrussel) and now have another question.
I am replacing a 3 way switch with a 3 way dimmer switch, only one of the switches...

I think I have the info needed and you have been an immense help tkrussel. I'll pick up the wire, breakers, antioxidant and ground bar tomorrow at Lowe's and get it wired up. If I run into any...

I got to looking at the subpanel I bought, it's a Homeline 100 Amp. There is only one ground bar in it and it connects to the panel box by a screw. Do I need to get another grounding bar for the...

Wiring this sub panel in the fashion we're talking about will get me 220V into the room correct?

I mounted the panel in the room and I'm planning on having an oak door over it so it looks decent. To ensure I've got this right;
I need 2-2-2-4 SER? I've only got three screws in the subpanel,...

My mistake, it can't be any higher than 6.5'. This could be an option then.

It has to be 6.5' off the floor correct? My walls are pretty much half walls with the ceiling following the rafters. The walls are maybe 4.5' high.

It's been a while since I added to this post, but I'm just now to the point where I need to get this panel installed. I pulled the drywall off all around the main panel and it doesn't look good. ...

Everything is going to be on the inside of my garage so the weather is a non-issue. I figure if I mount it underneath the main panel, the bottom of the sub-panel will be roughly 2' of the ground. ...

Hello,

I'm finishing off a bonus room upstairs, which is roughly 370 sq ft (26 ft x14.5 ft). I'm planning on installing a mini-split system instead of tying into my existing heat/air system...

Tkrussel,

Any recommendations on type of breaker and panel? Square D is readily available, but how is their quality?
If I can run it inside the wall, is the #2 alum required to be in conduit...

Great info guys, thanks for the input. I wasn't aware of the breaker size requirement in relation to the wire gauge, so I'll swap out the 20 Amp for a 15 Amp.
What is it for 12/2?
What about...

Thanks for the reply.
Both panels will be next to each other but they are both roughly 50 feet from the bonus room, is that a concern?
It is my understanding that the meter has to be pulled in...

I did a search and found some info but I'm still not sure on what I need to do. I have an upstairs bonus room that I am finishing off. There currently is one 20 Amp circuit to run the lights and...
