Good find OP. These are extremely efficient and could easily heat or cool 1000sq ft if it's decently insulated.

how efficient? anyone know the estimated cost difference between running these vs running a central air system? let's say. 2 of these to cool 2k Sq ft vs 1 central air unit to cool the same area+

Depends what your current system efficiency is and where you're located. Guessing you may cut your energy usage in half if its an older system.

How easy is this to install yourself? If difficult, how much would you expect to pay someone?

edit: nvm this is 230v so too much hassle to get that installed as well

I installed this exact model this past summer. Overall it is a very well thought out package and it is very doable to install yourself, but that also depends largely on your ability. There are some special tools you need to have like a manifold gauge set and vacuum pump, but those can be had fairly cheap and it's a good reason to buy new tools! The best advice is to go on youtube where there are videos of people installing these.

How noisy is the outside unit. Or how much would two more line sets, self installed be.

Ya I probably would have bought if the 120v was in stock. Need to do whole house but want to start with one. Have grow room i use for vegetables and this would just make maitinging temps/humidity easy. But just spending $600 on this is already sort of luxury item so find it hard to justify. When do house im not homing to be as penny pinching...
220 not hard but im out of space in CBP as it is and 220 would take two spaces. Im already having to share the last two spot between welder and 18k Window AC (swap CBs as needed I know....but both are rarely used). I assume cost of running 220 will also be higher just given wires. I have 250ft 12/2 but Idk what this calls for as can also depend on length. Probably calls for 10g?

This is very promising as a solution to a master bedroom that is the last stop in the line and heats and cools inadequately. I looked at the installation instructions and they are sparse at best. Can anyone speak to, or point to a better instruction set, that will help me visualize the level of effort/skill required?

Alternately, what would be the best guess (I understand there will be a range of costs) for an electrician to install this in an upper story, with the outside unit being at ground level? $200? $500? Any idea? (would get the 120 so no additional wiring I hope).

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

Save $153.60? Do your research first and then buy the best unit that fits your needs, you can't just guess at sizing. Many of the newer name brands have features that the older lower priced ones don't have. The new coatings and ease of cleaning make the mold problem easier to deal with. Yes, after a while many units develop mold that requires cleaning, it can be an easy job or not depending on the brand and model. SEER and low temp operation differ vastly from low to high priced units. It's not something that you want to just impulse buy.....and regret later.

Max fuse size is 15 amp. Your 12 would work.

At best, 12,000 Btu minisplit for insulated 500 sq ft room. (ie, converted garage). It is not adequate for me, even though attic insulated and walls insulated. Reason: one runs the system in economy quiet mode, which only puts out about 50% BTU heat or cool. I have installed such a system, and it helps, but will be uncomfortable in the heat of summer, even at 100% power.

Outside unit on inverters is damn quiet. More central acs are going inverter to run longer times to pull more humidity at less power making them much more efficient
