  Technology Connections provides a great intro, Urban Plumbers is where you want to go for a more hands on, practical approach. https://youtube.com/@UrbanPlumbers https://youtube.com/@UrbanPlumbers

    I’m not sure about where you live but where I live (Canada) you can’t legally do your own heat pump installations. You need to be certified to handle refrigerants and that sort of thing.

      Could you install the ones that come with precharged linesets?
      • chongli 4y ago
        Yes, for example a mini split unit. You can purchase these at the hardware store and install them yourself. You just can’t do this with units that integrate into a central heating/cooling system which require the installation and charging of the refrigerant lines.

      I'm from the UK. I was under the impression you could do it yourself here but couldn't find a definitive answer. It's absolutely something I wouldn't take on myself though. Changing a light switch or rewiring a plug, sure - but I'd be guaranteed to make a huge, expensive, inefficient mess with a project like that.
