Ductless HVAC was too much for us

He actually was quite disgusted with what we did

My husband and I are the least handy people on the planet. He is an animator and I am a teacher. We never have to do anything hands on in our careers. So when something in the house breaks, it is a big deal. We both have tried to do home repairs with little to no success. It stinks hiring out and spending the money constantly. If we don’t though, there is an even bigger mess in the end. Recently my husband and I bought a ductless mini split for the kitchen. Online said doing ductless HVAC installation was simple. You need to drill a few holes in the exterior wall, feed wiring and refrigerant tubes to the outdoor air compressor. Hook them together, get a thermostat installed, and you are all good to. My husband and I drilled the holes and then we had problems. How exactly do you feed wires and tubes through a wall? What did they mean connect the two units? Even the thermostat installation took us forever. We realized well into the project that it was a smart one that required us to download an app in order to work it. In the end we had to call an HVAC professional to fix all the mistakes we made. The guy did not give us a discount for starting the job either. He actually was quite disgusted with what we did. Apparently we did a lot of things that made the ductless installation much harder. Of course the two of us did that. We can’t catch a break.
