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.

Bought one last month from Lowe's for $1550.. it was on sale.. installed and works great.. got the line covers from Amazon to clean up and cover the lines.. it came on a pallet.. one side after unboxing had a small dent.. I took pics and called Lowe's.. manager said I could return but wait on a new one since it's not an item they carry in store or if it's just cosmetic he would give me 10% off.. he said try it if any issue let me know.. took the 10% and removed the panel before install to check any damage inside and nothing was damaged.. popped the dent out.. all good 😁

Anyone know if MrCool or Pioneer is the better brand? I was also looking at this Pioneer:

https://www.pioneerminisplit.com/...3830767658

The Pioneer is an 18 SEER at $1308. The difference in energy savings between 18 and 20 seer is about $50 a year. I don't really care about the energy aspect since I have solar, I just want a more reliable brand.

Pioneer will likely give better support. But since this is Costco I'd go with Costco. Anything wrong they will refund.

Where are you getting your "technical" knowledge? Do you feel your reasoning is superior to those highly educated professionals who have been writing the code for decades? You simply do not understand about electrical conductors, conduit and the reasons for the codes. ANY wiring in an outdoor location is considered to be in a wet location even if it's in conduit, including a whip. NM cannot be run in a wet location because it's not rated as such. Please stop spreading false information.

Thanks.

334.12(B)(4) not permitted in a wet or damp location
300.9 Raceways in Wet Locations Above Grade. Where raceways are installed in wet locations above grade, the interior of these raceways shall be considered to be a wet location. Insulated conductors and cables installed in raceways in wet locations above-grade shall comply with 310.8(C).
You're right, also, they shouldn't be running romex in conduit either. THHN I think is what they'd need. I'm also similarly unqualified as well.

THWN. The W means wet locations.

That's true. I haven't seen something not dual rated recently, so I just stuck to calling it thhn. I suppose someone out there could still be making thhn not rated thwn.

So regular price is $1499 and it's on sale for $1500. How does that qualify as a Front Page deal ?? 🤣😂

This keeps on being brought up. It's a deal because it's actually in stock for $1499 backed with Costco's guarantee. It does become unavailable on the site. Other vendors have this in stock, but you'll be paying more.

I'm in the East Bay and can advise you. I don't do much installs anymore though.

I'm currently have a request in with the City of Oakland on how they prefer to have these systems installed in regards to protection of the wiring to the remote unit.

You can buy something similar for under $1000.

A mechanical contractor friend of mine told me about this company. It's a typical Chinese made mini-split heat pump unit. He had installed quite of few of these units for his clients.
