I went and picked myself up a little Willie, get it.

Hey, everybody.

We've got a problem to solve today.

And it has to do with a spare bedroom that I have upstairs with a very high ceiling.

It's get a I have a Mitsubishi ducted unit, it's, just like their ductless units, except this one's, a ducted unit and you'll see that later in the video.

But at any rate, it is not pushing enough air to really circulate the air.

You know, above six or seven feet.

So I end up with a whole different climate at the bottom and a different climate up top of the room.

It really is just not that effective.

So I picked up a fan on Amazon or Ebay.

I know, this was Amazon.

You can find these on Amazon or Ebay and I strongly recommend if you're gonna be putting a booster fan in line.

Don't go with the ones that you can get from Home Depot or Lowe's, I've used those before and other little projects.

And they just don't move enough air.

This isn't that much more expensive I.

Think this was only about sixty bucks, but it's pushing out about 300 cubic feet per minute of air, that's, a ton, and it actually has a lot of power behind that airflow.

So if you've got a lot of bends in the tube it's, a real high resistance line, it, it does a great job of moving air through the other thing I needed because I don't want to just leave this thing running all the time and I don't want to turn it on and off every time I want to use.

It I went and picked myself up a little Willie, get it a little? Alright, what this little guy does is a digital temperature controller.

And it allows you to set different set points for when this blower will kick on and off.

So when the compressor isn't running on the AC it'll, actually, shut this fan off because I've got a little probe that's going to go in line.

Gonna probe my little Willie I, get a little probe that's going to go in line and it's going to pick up the temperature.

And compare the differential between that in the ambient temp, you can also set it just to turn on and off at certain set points, regardless of the ambient temp.

But these are pretty cool.

So once this is all install it's going to do its job it's, not going to waste energy by running when I don't need it and I don't ever have to touch it again.

So that's the plan here.

So we'll, take you upstairs here, I'll show you where the problem is and we'll start putting together the solution.

So herein lies the problem it's, not so bad when it's in heat mode.

But when it's in AC mode, this air just hangs down low and it's compounded by the problem of having an extremely high ceiling.

Here, I don't know, how high that is but it's probably about 11 feet, maybe 12 to the peak.

So you get a whole different climate going on up here and the air really separates.

It just doesn't doesn't do a nice job.

So we're going to boost this guy up so I've got a pretty unique house.

And that creates unique problems.

This is a solution that most people don't even know exists.

But this is a DC inverted.

Just like the actually I'll show you just like one of these guys I've got these in the house as well.

But there are rooms where I didn't want one of those things hanging in every single room, and they make this ducted version.

So instead of what you would normally mount on the wall, you have a pretty slim, although it's substantial on its size things about four feet wide.

But you've got a ducted version of what would be on the roof or up on the ceiling.

So I've got a whole bunch of lines coming off this going to different parts of the house.

And this particular line right here.

A little six-inch insulated line.

This is what feeds that bedroom floor, register so we're going to put our booster inline right in there somewhere go for power.

I've got an outlet on this side of the wall.

So I'm gonna pull that apart and we're gonna tap in off that outlet.

Because we've the blower itself is sitting right about here on the other side of that wall.

So that'll work out nicely, yeah, nothing's ever easy.

The old metal box had to come out because I had two lines going in and I needed a feed a third.

But all three of them were coming from the top down.

So that just wasn't gonna work.

So they put up a good fight, but in the end I won so I put a new old work box in there and snake the wiring in make myself an outlet right here about the same height as the kill switch for the air conditioner itself, which is now running and I haven't mounted this yet, but we're gonna plug it in and you're gonna see once it it's already reading the air conditioners putting out 47.6 degrees.

So it kicks on at 55 and will kick off once the temperature running through this line reaches 65.

So what that means is only when that compressor is running, it will put now cold air will this boost a fan kick on.

And as soon as this thing, the compressor kicks off, and it just starts recirculating the temple, raise up above 65, and it will shut this off to save me from running a fan that I don't really need for circulation I just need it for air.

So I'll show, you I'm got a short in this line up, but do a few few other things here.

But for now there's enough to give you an idea, but you do have here the air, and it is cranking.

So this I just tested it.

And in 10 minutes drop the room temperature, four degrees to go four degrees before it was probably a good hour and a half.

And and if that it depends on how warm the day was so this thing and then I was afraid, it might be a little too loud in the hallway since it's mounted to that wall, but it's really no louder than the unit itself, which is right here.

Just a tiny bit louder, maybe a little bit of a hyung, but otherwise it's great.

So next thing we'll get that unit mounted to the wall and shorten the the pipe, which should help me pick up a little more velocity and should be should be good to go.

Well, I'd say, we can check this project off.

The list is done and well worth the effort in the cost, which was under a hundred bucks for the temperature control unit and the blower and it's made a huge difference in that room and will make make it much more comfortable.

So if you're thinking about putting one of these in I, highly recommend, you do it I would also highly recommend.

You get a decent blower do not get the ones at Home Depot in stock I think, Home Depot and Lowe's.

You can probably special order these as well.

But the ones in stock just do not have the output like this does so very pleased with it.
