It says TWO, but the link shows only one? No indication of two?
If you get a quote from an HVAC guy, they will get all pissy if you buy your own equipment and won't warranty anything. If you get a full parts + install quote, it will be around 4x the cost of this unit.
These are an absolute steal if you have the DIY ability to install yourself.

It is true of some state / power companies though. Locally our electric company will give us a rebate for installing a heat pump or insulation but we HAVE to use certified contractors on their list. The extra price for paying a contractor isn't worth it to me, but still being able to take the Fed rebate is.
If you have the ability to run the 220 line, then the installation is pretty simple. Cut a hole all the way through the wall, mount the indoor unit, mount the outdoor unit, connect the pre charged lines….not much more difficult than that.

Backstory - bought a home with one of these similar units (not this brand) installed a year ago. Word is the previous owner had it installed (5 indoor units) simply to have AC in the home for sales purposes, so I don't know they used it much prior to sale (although it had been installed for more than a year prior to our purchase). They (previous owner) told me they purchased the components but had it installed by a guy that moonlights on his own but whose day job is commercial HVAC installs.
Couldn't test the AC much as we did inspection in the middle of winter, but did test the heat pump portion and it seemed to heat, although I didn't have an idea of what to expect.
Last summer system didn't work (no cool), eventually found out that it was low on refrigerant. Spent about $1200 for evacuation, leak test and recharge only for the AC tech to tell me they couldn't find a leak.
Fast forward to this spring. Same issue - no cooling. AC tech is telling me he needs to inject a dye, wait a few weeks, then look for leaks. That will cost $$, but I am wondering how much $$ I throw at trying to find the problem rather than just saying - I need to recharge it every year.
