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.

I am looking for a wall mount bracket. can you guys recommend one for concrete block wall?
on amazon they all look pretty weak, flimsy metal.
Some have a cross bar, some straight onto the wall. some has support from below, some hanging from above.
It should come with one, or do you mean for the fan?

But even for the Fan MR COOL sells one to mount it off the ground

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.
Any recommendation on a reliable one for DIY?

Now a mini-split like this hooked up to some solar panels would be the perfect daytime summer setup; When the sun comes up and the PV solar cells start producing electricity, once it reaches a certain threshold, something clicks ( I believe that would be called a capacitor) and the AC starts; At dusk, when the current produced by the PV cells falls below a certain threshold, the same think clicks again and the AC unit shuts off!

How much the electrician charge to connect the power to the breaker box (50-75ft away), thanks
With the price of wire right now, it's not going to be cheap.

which means it has above average ownership costs.

The other factors that contribute to Hyundai reliability include an average of 0.3 visits to a repair shop per year and a 10% probability of a repair being severe.

Grain of salt.... [repairpal.com]

Apparently, 4th from the bottom out of 32.... Smilie ...

The fan is inside and yes, it comes with the bracket. The compressor that is on the outside does not appear to come with a mounting bracket.... they had an add for like $45.

Any suggestions for a regular 115v A/C unit? Really does not want to run a 220v line - just want to plug it in a switch in the attic.
Ive got both the mrcool "diy" 24k and the 12k for the master bedroom.. the 12k can tie right into an existing outlet in the room.. go for it you will not be disappointed..

If you don't like the factory ones that fit these units, then some angle iron or steel tubing and a welder is your friend.... or get some high school kid to make you two of them in Ag or welding class.

PS: The support probably needs to be on the inside of the wall for at least the top bolts that go all the way through.... like a steel plate, or a piece of angle iron that spans down a few concrete blocks. Vibration over time could loosen things up.... Smilie

The reputable HVAC contractor was $6k installed for a similar unit.

I can could buy 3 spares for parts.

I've been running this unit for a year and a half. Works super. It took me 6-8 hours to install it. No pulling a vacuum, etc.

I'd buy this one again any day.
This is virtually the same argument to get an AUX unit. For the price of mr cool you can get almost 2 aux units.

I do not know how you do not need to pull a vacuum, but I've never done a mr cool either. But you always have to pull a vac- unless maybe the lines are pre-vacuumed (doubt it) and it has some sort of valve to open the vacuum and then you use the refrigerant to break the vacuum, then purge...

Not this unit.... they do sell multi split ductless systems for additional rooms.

Here, [homedepot.com] you can get an idea by viewing various options....

Another head unit? In theory yes. I've never looked into the details if they require a seperate metering device and/or some kinda zone isolator. The condensing unit doesn't actually care too particularly much (unless it has some external electronics to control speed). I think these just use the pressure differential to determine how fast to turn the compressor.

Quote from LwdshB :
its decent, not class leading or anything (i think mitsubishi & fujitsu are around SEER 25-30 on their higher end models). Its above the minimum basically to be "energy efficient rated" to get the rebate basically.
The difference between 20-25 is marginal in your acutal savings. its huge between 10-20, but marginal from 20-25; its added expenses are nearly double to triple however. These are all coming with 410a, which will probably be phased out by 2022. Just look at the cost of r22 today,. They were still building and installing those in 2007. Considering the cost of r22, it is actually cheaper to just switch to a *newer* mini split when the time comes.
