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.

You'd definitely need two or three men to handle the outside unit if you're mounting it above ground. I did one myself that was on a slab but it was a pain to move and my back regretted it for a week. For the indoor unit you may be able to lift it and guide the hoses yourself but it's waaaaay easier with help.
Also.... be sure your existing electrical is sufficient. For the 24k unit you need a 30A 220V circuit, which needs 10/2. not 12/2.
Good luck!
Very Slick Indeed!

This is a 3100 sq ft single story home well insulated with two hvac unit and two ac unit. It uses natural gas for heating. My goal is to eliminate the usage of natural gas completely. PGE charged $1.5 to $2 a therm.
There is also a 10KW solar system attached to the house. Last year, the solar system produced an excess net of 3,400 Kwh of electricity which was sold to PGE at $0.03 a KWh. PGE charges customers at $0.30 - 0.4 per KWh. I got compensated for $90 while pge turns around and sells it for $1000.
I have a 5 KW system on my house, and equally get ripped off when selling back to the utility. In fact, I'm pretty sure I got back the same amount two years in a row ($0.03 per kWh). Meanwhile, they are quick to charge me $0.15 - $0.20 per kWh depending on the time of year.
Fortunately I never generated close to what you did, in excess that is. I think my first year they got like 400 kWh from me. Second year I moved my anniversary date forward a month, and I only forked over like 100 kWh this year. Pretty sure I'll have it down to nothing by the time it re-ups next year haha.

Currently mining during daytime to convert some free energy into crypto. Plan to use that crypto to eventually pay for Battery for solar.
If you are in NYC, go to any of those Chinese electronic stores in Brooklyn or Flushing. You can get a Mitsubishi 18000 BTU for about $2200 with installation. Tax free if you pay cash.
There is also $250 Rebate from Con Edison.
Gree would be much cheaper. Daikan 18000BTU was about $1600 when I asked. Price isn't that much difference for a 24000BTU.
Just FYI, if you DIY it, you probably won't be able to claim the warranty.
