It says TWO, but the link shows only one? No indication of two?
Other manufacturers sell for 1/2 of this price because you will need to buy vacuum pump and set of gauges - look up YouTube videos - it is dyi but requires bit more work.
Then decide if Mr Cool for ease of installation or something at 1/2 but more work.
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.

With old style air conditioners you want to get the correct size. There are online calculators to do just that. The reason being is that air conditioners perform 2 main functions ….cooling and dehumidifying. If over sized they cool quickly but don't dehumidify. You end up cold and clammy.
Split ductless with inverter tech are a LOT more forgiving in terms of sizing.

Timing MAY affect this greatly. HVAC Cos are super busy in the Northeast from May-September.
Reach out in April or October and prices tend to be better.
