Just spent my weekend troubleshooting a heat pump install that went sideways fast. Turns out, one of the biggest issues was airflow—didn't realize how crucial proper duct sizing and sealing really is. Also, um, don't underestimate the importance of refrigerant charge accuracy... learned that one the expensive way, lol. Anyway, thought I'd share so maybe someone else can avoid my headache. Curious if others ran into unexpected hiccups during their own installs?

Yeah, airflow can definitely bite you if you're not careful, but honestly, I've found electrical connections to be just as sneaky. Had a friend who spent hours chasing down airflow issues, only to realize he had a loose wire causing intermittent shutdowns. Sometimes it's the simple stuff that trips you up... always double-check wiring before diving deep into ducts and refrigerant.

Yeah, it's kinda wild how something as basic as airflow can throw the whole system off balance. Did you find any noticeable energy savings once you sorted out the ductwork? Makes me wonder if I should double-check mine now...
