How To Install Central Heat Pump AC System - Start To Finish DIY Demonstration

A detailed installation demonstration of a self-installed whole house central heating and cooling system. This video shows the installation of both the outside air condenser and the inside air handler of a 5-ton whole house heat pump system. The intent of this video is to show what it took for me to install this AC system myself and let you the viewer decide if you would consider the installation a DIY project from your perspective.

The air condition system featured is the MrCool 4-5 Ton Universal System with a pre-charged line set. The threaded line set eliminates a few steps that are typically required on a professionally installed AC system. The system is a heat pump system which both heats and cools indoor living space. The air condenser is an inverter type which makes it energy efficient and less noisy when compared to most traditional AC systems.
