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.

this installation will be easier than waxing your car.
The area around a condenser is must certainty subjected to damage so any conductors need to be protected. The PVC your referring to for the wall penetration is not an approved raceway for conductors.
I'm not referring to 240 volt runs inside a house. This is exterior and wall penetration. What voltage do you think the head unit uses? It can't be 120 volts for sure. Even if it was (which would require an additional neutral conductor to be run from the panel) the wiring still needs the same protection.
You cannot run NM cable in a wet location (outside) even if it's in conduit.
Whips are usually water tight

Anways, reading the manual for Mr cool , you have to run your own power to it. The "included" cable is only to power the indoor unit, this is wrapped in a bundle with your refrigerant and drain lines and routed inside.
The only real issue I have with this is the lineset. If your at or about the length, that's great. But if your significantly shorter you have coils of copper sitting there, that can fill up over time with oil. Accumulation of oil in linesets aren't typically a problem (it works its way back) but when you have round coils of it, it is more likely to pool and settle down at the low spots.
I guess the true test will be in August
I tell you I truly could not be more amazed at the overall performance of these things.. by far one of the best purchases Ive ever made and I am that guy that is quick to have buyers remorse.

My mother's A/C system was oversized and did not remove the humidity very well. To combat this, I had it programmed to run the temp down to 68 once a day. That allowed the system to run longer and remove more of the humidity. Then the program would return to her preferred temp of (ISYN) 78.

My only issue with Mr. Cools are that horrible outside ducting ... I have a mitsu and its nice heavy straight tube Gutter style plastic but Mr. Cool looks cheapy from pictures. Insight?
12k is supposed to be enough, 24k is way overkill id say tho.
