After I gather all electronics tools I need to build electronics, I will be working on Centralised cooling with 0 fans inside the room :) Keep tuned

It, looks innocent I was struggling with the frame as it weighted aorund 90kg in total was fun to tryo flip it from tabletop on the ground back to legs. But yeah there are many options to get those tubes in the West. Just my suggestion to grab impact driver otherwise you will cry :D

Writing follow up from home depo store. The CAD I use is Autodekst Invetor I got license from family company as I sometimes help with some CAD designs so its basically free for me, but if looking for cheaper/free alternative is probably Fusion 360 is really limited compared to normal Inventor but its pretty good for beginner

It is heat pump it can cool/heat just in Japan they don't call them heat pump. Plus it is inverter based so super efficient.

I think it's more efficient to heat/cool single room than all house when for e.g. you spend most of the day in office/living room and then go to bed. That way you only have one AC running but of course if you have big family then it maybe makes sense but still... Those mini split AC efficiency is much higher than I have seen in US ducted systems (follow few channels) because mini splits uses inverter technology for higher efficiencies.

Exacatly my 30k install cost for 2 ACs were high already after all works they like so it will be 15k extra I am like WHUT but oh well it's japan next time going to rent tools for 5k and materials for like 10k max.
My unit CS-229CFR with tax I think was 42k or similar and model to make it smart was +5k so it was still cheaper than cheapest smart model

Impossible to live without AC in Japan. Also almost every move company can remove/install AC's pretty easily so it's kinda convient.
Also if all rooms already have installed AC's then apartment rent price is much higher than similar without it so it's 50/50 what you want.

Yes, but only downside of that is beep sounds and stateless, while Echonet Lite can provide you all internal properties like outdoor temp and etc and also current settings.

In japan there is also way to rent tools, next time I am doing it by myself it costed almost third AC to get 2 installed... When materials and rent didn't even cost more than 1 install cost

I was more targeting Europeans with that paragraph as I never had any issues with it in Europe (UK, Germany, Lithuania)

Like are those wall color piping on the left side. The mini split ACs in japan come with precharged outdoor unit which has valves closed so the installers route lines from indoor to outdoor unit (using already packed with insulation lines). The connections are made using flare connectors. After all connected they use vacuum pump to evacuate air from lines and then opened up lines that's basically all in the installation.

There is heavy measures regarding that topic. One is Gas Meter turns off all the gas when earthquake happens. Second I think all pipes are flexible so it wouldn't break from earthquakes

Those 2 AC's there almost the cheapest models you can buy for 6 tatami size and iirc they were 39k/ea. I needed to buy those modules extra to make it "smart"

I have already one Panasonic AC, so mixing them didn't feel right. Plus I have few extra Echonet Lite devices in home so it would be easier for my case.
