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.

12k units 110V are the way to go if you are DIYing. they use even less energy than 12k window units and you can just plug them into an outlet by adding a regular cord.

Not a DIY unit. It doesn't come with pre-charged lines, so legally you'll have to have an HVAC tech install it and fill the lines with refrigerant. You may or may not find one on your area willing to do so, but doing so well probably cost more than the difference between the units.

The unit is precharged and it's held in the compressor. You vacuum the lines, make sure no leaks and release the refrigerant valve. Completely legal to do yourself. You can buy r410 at Walmart.

People always complicating stuff.

Good point! That's where we are at now. They also only last two years on average anyway.
Has quality gone down that much in window units. When I was a kid that is what we had and it lasted probably 15 years.

Agree. I understand contractors have families to feed but I'm sick of the scare tactics they all seem to post on anyone that mentions DIY.

That would be a question for your local electrician. Every install is different, as well as local codes and regional contractor labor prices.
Sadly with some, it depends on your home value...most will charge the max they can, next guy with less value home price will be half that much for the job

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?
There are dozens of installation videos on YouTube. Some of the videos are pretty basic but many have lots of details.

Has anyone successfully replaced their central AC with one of these systems? I know very little about these but it seems like you'd need to buy multiple air handlers for whatever rooms you want to control the temps in then run the conduits to each room? This sounds like a difficult task if the home is already outfitted with central AC and ducting. I'm guessing these are probably better suited for either new build homes, older homes and smaller homes (especially single floor/level) that don't have central AC or where you are just planning for a minisplit system. Or, I think as someone had mentioned prior, these seem very ideal for add-ons to garage or basement or an ADU, etc.

How much the electrician charge to connect the power to the breaker box (50-75ft away), thanks
That's about what I had done for this, it was $300.

You need exterminator before this A/C purchase.

Installed the DIY 24K Mr. Cool unit from Costco 2 months ago.

Setting the A/C setting at 62F (full blast), the unit pulls appx 2KW of electricity. This is by observing the meter and turning the system on and off wirelessly.

Works great in cooling our master bedroom.

Bought romex and breaker box to wire this thing, but ended up splicing off the A/C unit that this heat pump sit next to.
That's where you might blow the breaker bc you will over amp
