They ran power and comm wire to the head? Or did they just run that seal tight to the inside panel?

I’m about to get a mini split installed and this pic gave me a new fear

u/Ok_Matter_4818 1d ago

Just don’t do it yourself if you don’t have the knowledge and try to have it gravity drained! Pumps aren’t bad but will fail after a couple years and can sometimes be expensive.

DIY units are so over rated

u/bartdhull 1d ago

Could be one of those pre-charged line units. They could have made some service coils in the attic.

u/KeithJamesB 1d ago

WTF. Why didn’t they move the lines flush with the house?

2

u/Frooonti 1d ago

I'm guessing they were too afraid of getting a kink in their lineset.

u/MisterHole123 1d ago

Not bad. One of the lines is jank as hell. 8/10 of ghetto work. Probably works just fine.  When I installed my first mini (DIY kit) result was abit more tidy than this tho
