That’s the part too many crews learn the hard way. Most refrigerant line set failures blamed on bad flares or poor commissioning actually start much earlier, during unloading, storage, carrying, be

Then comes the photo of a dark stain running down fresh drywall because the insulation opened up at one bend in the mini split line set and started sweating in a humid wall cavity. What surprises a lot of installers is this: on small ductless jobs, placement mistakes often cre
