Discussing GREE Flexx System, Capabilities, also Generator Setup

Hey guys, I figured I would go over the installation of this Gree one month later and tell you how it's doing during what we call extreme cold weather, 17 degrees. If you haven't seen the video when I installed that, look up here. Here we go. Alright, so first we installed this with no electric heater kit on it because it's rated for 95 degree air down to like negative 4 degrees Fahrenheit. and we only saw like Christmas weekend 17 degrees which is about as cold as it gets down here and in case you're wondering it did just fine it never blew cold air and it maintained 70 degrees or 68 wherever we set it the entire time one of the reasons it never blows cold air it does go through defrost is because if you don't have a heater kit plugged up to it when this sends a signal through its defrost wire it goes into the air handler and it and the air handler stops blowing when it goes through defrost and it don't come back on until the air is warm again so but if you have a heat kit it works like a normal air handler going through defrost it will energize the heat strips now we've been running it in cool and heat throughout the last month and we do that all winter long um the days that we run just heating are very limited there's probably going to be about 20 of those in a year but getting down to 17 degrees it maintained um 70 degrees no problem as long as i could convince my wife to keep the window shut but it did just fine i do encourage you to go look at the video where we installed this and i'm going to show you my um generator setup and how um i had it set up and it ran my whole house without having to take it off electronic speed control i'm going to show you that here in just a second first before i get into that i used this is a RectorSeal RSH-50 VRM kit so it's a voltage regulator and monitor and i wanted to show you let me see if i can show you where i have it set i have it set on 258 volts as my high and my low at 208 now normally as you see here my voltage right now is reading 251 and if i that was 252 there for just a second um i do have a i have have it it has tripped on high when i had it set on 254 i had it at 265 and the the factory rep told me that was too high so i dropped it to 258 which is about as low as i can take it with my voltage readings right here like that's already 253 253.2 but that right there has already saved me a couple times i had it set as low as 254 once and that caused me to have a cold night because um it tripped but um like i said i'm gonna show you that generator setup i have and um how it does i'll describe that to you all right so first in here i have a breaker interlock and as you see i have to turn off my main in order to turn on this breaker and that's where my generator is now let's walk out this has a disconnect under the porch and this is my generator wire hookup and they make them generator wires just for that and it plugs up forgive my porch y'all it's a mess and it plugs up right here now when I crank this up I have to turn off the electronic speed control and that makes it rev to the highest level before I had to leave that on in order to run my air conditioner now I can crank this turn on my electronic speed control so it idles down and because i have the inverter driven air conditioner this will just speed up gradually as the air conditioner speeds up all right because i have no heater kit in my air conditioner i can run my air conditioning my heat my entire kitchen my all my lights my entertainment center basically like i have um utility power just from this generator it can go up to 30 amps the air conditioner when it's on really high speed pulls about 16 amps the whole thing condenser and air handler so that gives me another 14 i can spend on and that's 14 amps at 240 volts so it's really like another 28 amps on 120 i just may not be able to run my my dryer and the air conditioner at the same time but um yeah it turns out to be a really nice setup now the way I have it I have dependable power even if the lights go out and I can run my air conditioning and my heat and I can turn the electronic speed control to on and that way it saves gas thanks for watching guys if you like these kinds of videos or if you like this kind of setup that I have how about hit a like and subscribe I'll catch you on the next one
