We added ductless and ducted mini split units throughout the house for both heat and cooling duties.

Most of the mini splits have arrived. One more 12k unit is still on it's way. (06/12/2019)

Minisplit head unit is up and running in the den. An identical one goes to the master bedroom. (06/15/2019)

Here's the 12K BTU outdoor unit for the den. The master bedroom gets a matching unit as well. (06/15/2019)

We removed the trim from the wall in the FLR. Then mounted the bracket, and drilled a hole through a perfectly good wall... (06/21/2019)

This is the 30K three zone outdoor unit going in. First zone goes to the 18K indoor wall unit in the formal living room. Second zone goes to the ducted air handler in the attic. (06/21/2019)

First zone is in. Using the vacuum pump to evacuate the lineset before releasing the refrigerant. (06/21/2019)

We evacuated the lineset with the vacuum pump, then made sure it held vacuum for a full two hours without any needle movement. (06/21/2019)

Triple zone unit is up and running. (06/21/2019)

Installed the ceiling mounted filterbox / return for the ducted unit which services the whole upstairs except the master bedroom. (04/19/2020)

The frame goes on the filterbox, and the duct collar is taped. (04/19/2020)

We threw a filter in, and closed up the grille. Looking good now. (04/19/2020)

Six inch duct and outlet in the nursery. (04/19/2020)

Duct side of the air handler manifold. (04/22/2020)

Air handler is hung in the attic. The supply duct manifold is in place. (04/25/2020)

Air handler is fully installed in the attic, with both the supply and the return duct manifolds affixed. (04/25/2020)

A few years later, we start the fun of removing the old thru-wall units. (07/22/2023)

Patched the exterior sheathing with OSB (07/22/2023)

Starting with a simple 2x4 frame to fill the hole. (07/22/2023)

The master bedroom unit was much harder to patch compared with the den. Have I mentioned I don't like heights? (07/23/2023)

Master Bedroom siding is all patched up. (07/23/2023)

The den is tar papered, and the first shingle goes up. (07/23/2023)

The den exterior is all sealed up. (07/23/2023)

The den gets some R15 insulation, and I took the opportunity to show my nine year old son how to hang sheetrock. Poorly. (07/24/2023)

Master bedroom gets R15 and sheetrock. Notice just how bowed out the wall is from the weight of the AC unit hanging there for years. (07/24/2023)

The den gets a coat of mud (07/26/2023)

The master gets mud as well. (07/26/2023)
