I'm Installing a “FREE” Mini Split Nobody Wanted… And It’s NOT an ACiQ

It’s Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026, 5:55 in the morning in the great communist state of New York… and today, Mikey Pipes is installing a ductless mini split system that is NOT an ACiQ.That’s right. Somewhere deep inside the Mikey Pipes / Pipe Doctor warehouse — past the hydronic wall-hung training systems, past the ACiQ ductless mini split training center, past the rows of ACiQ inventory, and past the maintenance agreement warboard — sits an 18,000 BTU ductless mini split system that nobody wanted.This thing was sent to me for free by Tossot last year for a product review. The first one showed up mangled like it went through Siberia in the winter. They sent another one… and then it sat. And sat. And sat.I tried giving it away to employees.I tried giving it away to customers.Nobody wanted it.So today, this homeless mini split finally gets a home — inside a local synagogue here on Long Island, NY.But this video is not just about a mini split install.This one is for the service technicians, HVAC contractors, and keyboard code inspectors who think they know everything. We’re also talking about inverter-driven HVAC equipment, surge protection, disconnect boxes, protecting expensive heat pump systems, and why I build my own Mikey Pipes surge protection devices instead of selling you a $450 solution when I can offer something useful for much less.Only $175 shipped with a 6-foot whip.Only $185 shipped with a 10-foot whip.I build these because I like to tinker, I like to test, and I like protecting high-performance inverter equipment before a power issue turns into an expensive callback.And yes — I know the internet trolls are going to have something to say.Good.This is Mikey Pipes Uncensored: uncut, unedited, brutally honest HVAC talk from a real contractor running a real company on Long Island.For HVAC service, installation, repairs, mini splits, heat pumps, boilers, plumbing, and maintenance plans on Long Island:Pipe Doctor Home Services📞 516-348-6300🌐 pipedoc.netServing Nassau County, Queens, and Western Suffolk County, NY.👉 Want to become an ACiQ dealer or private label brand?Sign up here:https://aciq.com/mikeypipes✅ Limited Edition 2025 Mikey Pipes Poster AvailableOnly $42.50 deliveredIncludes 5 stickers, pen, card & magnet100% of proceeds goes to charityPayment options:PayPal: [email protected]: [email protected]: @PipeDoctorCashApp: $mikeypipesnySupport the mission.
