My home is about 1300... I have a nice carrier hvac system that never cooled down the master bedroom or the add on 20 by 20 den.. I live in Florida..
I bought the 12k for the master bedroom and was so extremely impressed with how freezing ice cold it would chill the room in a matter of minutes..
It chilled it so nicely that I could tell the whole back of the house was colder when I had it on..
So I went ahead and bought the 24k for the den... Same results.. It not only blows ice cold it cooled the entire den down in just a few minutes..
I quickly realized that just running the 12k in the bedroom and the 24k in the den completely eliminated my need to ever turn on my HVAC again..
It cools the entire house down in minutes on a very hot day.. The HVAC system would run all day to barely maintain the chill in the house on a 90 degree day..
These 2 units are miracle for me.. They run at half the power and only a fraction of the time.. I predict these things will put hvac ducted systems out of business in the near future..
I was able to install both of them myself .. Purchased romex, breaker , and cut off box from amazon , ran the wires to the panel.. I had never done it before but after a few youtube videos and my desire to save a few hundred dollars the install was flawless.. I also purchased a 3 inch hole saw for my cinder block walls..
all that being said.. I dont think you will need the dual zone units if you do what i did.. place a 12k on one end of the house and a 24k on the other you will be amazed.. - oh and this is a very good deal.. i paid 1650 for my 24k from ingrams air and water.

Never even heard of that brand. Mr Cool has been making these mini spit systems for quite a while. And I'm also seeing 17 seer on HD's site [homedepot.com] as well. And like the other guy was saying above, it probably isn't a true DIY type system either. Looks like it has the flare ends on the line sets already (which is good for a DIYer because you need a special tool for that plus it's something easy to screw up if you don't know exactly what you're doing), but are they sealed from the factory like the mr cool ones where the line sets are punctured when you attach them? If not, it really should be evacuated/checked for leaks before starting up. Now this can be done with a gauge set and a vacuum pump but that's going to add to the cost a bit. Planning on having somebody come and do it... well you're already over the price of the mr cool system at that point and the discussion is over.

I usually get a bunch of years out of window units (have to handle them carefully and clean them well with bleach or whatever to get the mildew out of them at the end of the summer before you put them away). I'll tell you what I've had fail a in them a few times now, the motor bearings. I'm not going to lie and say it's super easy to replace them but if you have a little patients and a couple hours of time then they can be replaced. They just take small sealed bearings just like the ones found in skateboard or rollerblade wheels. First time I needed some I got them locally at a ACE or something and they were kind of expensive and the following time I ordered them from Amazon [amazon.com]. Not saying that they're all the same size but so far I replaced the ones in an LG and a couple of GE window units. Believe the blower motor was frigidaire in them if I'm not mistaken. Wonder how many good window units get tossed into dumpsters every year because two one dollar bearings go bad LOL.

That's a 17 SEER, which is inferior. If you're going to talk about this being overpriced, I suggest finding one with equal or superior performance.

Is the one for sale on overstock a DIY system or is it one that requires a skilled HVAC tech? I haven't read the entire description yet. The one at Costco is a DIY install (provided you can run the electrical).

For a 1000sq ft home, 3 bed,1 bath, is it better to get 1 big one for living room, and 1 multi zone for 3 rooms or 1 big for living room, and 3 small ones?
It really depends on your layout, but typically in modern houses with a somewhat open layout would be best suited for a system like this (larger single zone). Ironically if you have a somewhat modern home then you would most likely already have central air so not quite sure what market this would be for (possibly a larger basement remodel or maybe a larger garage). If you want to heat and cool bedrooms too then I would most likely opt for some sort of multizone system. For one you probably could control temperatures independently (believe they have that capability) and save some $ in the process (you wouldn't want the bedrooms being heated/cooled in the daytime if you spend most of your time in the living room and vice versa at night). Let me know if you see a deal on multi zone split systems like this (3 zone preferably) because whenever a deal pops up it seems to be on one like this.

Lol ok...I said similar. But yes, pay double to save $5 a year in electricity. Have at it.

Also, per aux, they're 19 seer.
Just to be clear it's not double. Yes it's more expensive but in all seriousness have fun finding parts for your Aux mini-split when it eventually needs to be repaired. Personally I'd rather spend an additional $500 on a known brand that would likely last longer and be easier to repair if for no other reason than I wouldn't want to have to reinstall it again any time soon! Plus it's from Costco. Much rather have to deal with them should the need arise than Overstock but that's just me. To each their own Big Grin

Mice ate all the wires in our current Mini-Split, and parts are impossible to find for some reason (AllStyles brand). Local AC/Heating guys will only install equipment purchased from them, about twice this price all in. Since I already have Electricity routed and holes in the wall, would this be a fairly easy DIY install?
From checking out a couple of youtube vids, it looks pretty easy - aside from the electrical. Hopefully that's the case because I just bought one!

Perfect timing too because Costco is emailing a $50 off $500 coupon to select members (I just got one yesterday) so check your inbox before buying.

Good point! That's where we are at now. They also only last two years on average anyway.
