you know big companys don't like it and I know their just being greedy at this point. now if it was for something that has to be done correctly or someone could die that isn't u then I see could see why. they should release info on parts and diagnosis for problems. U know why they don't wanna give us shit they just want money how I see it.
Yeah I used to be able to buy the refrigerant off amazon then they quit. I am glad I bought a bunch when it was on there, the price was really good too, my HVAC buddy said it was as cheap as the wholesale price they get it for at his work.
Sooo there are few hiccups in this process my room obviously not up to code nor is the electrician work. So in order to get the permit I would need to tear everything down and have the city inspection team come look at it. Then buy the unit and have it installed. That would put me in a bigger cash crunch because Id have to pay for certified electrician to come re do it all and the room its self would have to be redone up to code.
Call a different AC guy to get a quote if that's the route u wanna go. I had an estimate for my building and they said 18.5k and the guy asked if I wanted to pull a permit or not. That was the price without a permit. (Was 4 units total)
Yea honestly probably will wait on the permits when I can pay to start all over and have pros do everything. I am looking at this point into buying the unit and searching for someone else to install to make sure its done right. The representative said here in California I have to have reclassify code agreement from the city before they could install only portables are allowed in the garage until its turned into something else.
Last question, my room is10x10x10do i need dual zone wall mounts or will one 24k btu wall mount be good for the space???

Single zone is fine. You want it middle of a wall, up as high as you can, but not blowing directly at DE fixture/s
I couldn't give in and get the mitsubishi Lol, so i got a bigger MrCool DIY unit I got the 36k BTU. The reviews didnt seem horrible and i dnt need the technician it says. I figured at 36k btu it would be ok since the mitsubishi I was looking to get was 24k.
I just installed the same unit a few weeks ago so far so good. If I was trying to over drive the my 6 1k de hps lights on a hot day I doubt it would keep up but it would most likely not have to dim below 100%. The install is not that bad, if your at all handy. You will prob need another person to help you run the line set and mount the head unit as it is a fairly big head unit.
So your room is 1000 watt de, wt temps do you normally run at?
Yeah he went with a Mr Cool DIY unit that has the pre-charged quick connect line set.
My room has 6 gavita de 1k lights.
Ok then I should be good reaching 75 degrees, those gavitas are very hot. I have 3 of cheaper brand 1000 wat de and one gavita de 1000 watt. With 3 running at 100, the thermo in the soil reads 80, the thermo up higher at the middle of wall reads 88. Plants look decent have grown good but want them cooler.
mitsubishi is almost like the pioneer of minisplits they beeen in the game for a while however i have no experience for them as far as a grow room goes but as an hvac tech i can tell u they are worth everydollar
What do gavitas yield per light in perfect conditions i am thinking about getting more if i can cool the room down.
Well, to be honest I've never had perfect conditions, after I got my c02 hooked up at last spot my damn mini split there quit working so had to vent and couldn't run c02. In my last spot which was an 8x11 room with 2 4x8 tables and 4 gavitas I hit 9.5 lbs so almost 2.5 per light with no c02.
