  • And please don’t understand this the wrong way.

    Ibis seems like a really cool project but with it being roughly half a year old me and many other people here simply have never heard of it before.

    Including even a single short sentence describing what Ibis is in this and future posts helps us find projects that we care about more easily.

    And we obviously care about Rust projects, otherwise none of us would be here.








  • Not an expert but these systems are fairly self-contained and robust. A few things that can be checked easily is that the fan spins, the radiator is free of debris and some compressors might have a sight glass for the oil level.

    Any other checks regarding performance of the system, leaks and refrigerant level require you to perform a full refrigerant discharge and recharge. That takes special equipment and some time so no one in their right mind would do that for free, unless they can then force/guide you into some kind of upsell situation.

    Larger systems might have some kind of oil filter/catch-can that you might be able to check easily but I’m not too sure on that.

    After all heat pumps are just plain old A/C units with a reversible cycle.
