    HVAC guy here. Ductless units are going to break quickly in a dirty environment like a shop or barn. This is a really smart idea and I'm glad you went with 4 big filters for easy airflow.
  • When my shop building was going up (about 3 years ago), I had a through-wall heat pump installed - suitable for my location in central Maryland. Since all of the air is sucked in through slots in the front panel, I have found it most expedient to just tape an appropiately sized filter across the front, and replace it every couple of months. Seems to be working fine so far. On the other hand, it is a small shop, and I currently do not make nearly as much dust as you and Jay do.
  • @jamescollier2049
    Huge respect for adding paying homage to another creator for their idea. cheers
  • @nmancini
    Thanks for always being a relatable content creator, admitting faults and more often than not having a laugh at yourself for our enjoyment.
  • @JayBates
    I went on a 2 week no-internet vacation right before you published this. Great job man. I've never seen 1.5" wide electrical tape. That's interesting.
  • @davidmeyer9204
    I can not lie. I laughed about the "Pecker Head" comment. I am also a big Jay Bates fan. Thanks for sharing. You should, IMHO, always include the "bloopers" at the end of your videos. I am glad to see you use a "story stick" They are so easy to make and can really make life easier. Give your Wife and kids a hug! Thanks for sharing!
  • @stuartkorte1642
    Thank you Jay and yourself for this tip. I’m wanting a mini split for my shop and I wouldn’t have considered better filtering. 👍 I would think having the big box like y’all built mitigates possible restrictions. Using one filter I could see some issues.
  • @pmdinaz
    It's so nice to see such a friendly collaboration between the content creators / professional woodworking channels . I will also be heeding Jay's, as well as yours Chris, advice on this filter setup.
  • @johndoyle2993
    Super appreciate your humility and ability to adapt. You got a new sub
  • @andrewbrown8148
    Great video, Chris~! Definitely something I need to do for my mini-split. Thanks much~!!
  • @thomasalison6188
    I saw Jay's video when he put it out, really thought it was a great idea. Mini-splits are the way to go!
  • @bwselectronic
    It probably doesn't matter, but, I think your filters are in correctly and Jay's need to be flipped around because the supports of the filters are facing outward on his. Normally the braces of the filter are facing the side towards the blower intake so it doesn't suck the filter in. Probably a minor thing on this setup, but, in say a furnace it could suck the filter apart. That's why they put support on one side of a filter.
  • @kevinc5234
    Thanks Chris for another great video. Love the outtakes!
  • @Control-Freak
    Great video! I am mostly hand tool so dust is minimal but it will happen. Just installed my mini split two week ago and started removing my in wall unit. I noticed that I am having a condensate leak so I need to get the unit propped open to take a look. I plan on measuring the clearance needed and will size the small piece to allow future investigation. Also, black electrical tape and duct tape develops a nasty ooze after a while.
  • @jasonhalvorsen1248
    Thank you. I've been looking into adding a mini split in my garage workshop (in Florida) and hadn't factored in the dust issues
  • @tomgburklin1112
    just had my mini split rebuilt, $900 labor cleaning it out... on the way to build this for mine. Glad i watched this. Thank you for the share. Yep i subscribed :)
  • @dunnrite
    The bloopers at the end were a great touch!🤣 Great video as always!
  • @SCHMEGGA
    One of your best yet! Love the outtakes.
  • @SteveDrees
    Love the OSHA approved shop flip-flops. :)
  • @raydriver7300
    Always stay until the end for the fun human interest bits. Great video, Chris. Keep up the good work 🌞
