As someone that installs Mini splits for a living, the Turbro brand is the finefare version of the carrier line that i install all the time...the Carrier branded stuff is twice the price and will probably give you 15 to 20 years of service where these others will probably be 5 to 10. I have repaired a lot of Senville, Durostar, and a few other off brand units that are all the same packaging and some of the same components as Carrier for the outdoor units. Indoor units seem cheaply constructed, but with proper purging and evac, should last.
The turbro is using the Midea app, just like the Carriers do...or i should say the carrier climate app is identical to the midea app.
If you want long lasting reliability Mitsubishi, but your gonna pay for that name and reliability. Carrier is step down from Mitsubishi, but not a huge one, and their technical support has been top notch...Mitsubishi's tech support is stellar...
Im installing Pioneer Diamante plus or ultra at my place, my landlord purchased, and from what ive seen of the outdoor unit they are a mostly the same parts as the carriers with a different board and inverter layout.
The biggest problems i run into are home owners doing the install, and then something goes bad in a year or two and its nearly the cost of the whole system to have a professional troubleshoot, fix, and recharge the system.
I'm biased cause i do this for a living, but having someone that does this everyday makes a bit of difference in the long-term life of the equipment, even the more affordable stuff.
If you don't know someone, then it's going to cost you multiple times the price of the unit to even have a warranty ("professional" install) or get it serviced (hint: labor not included).
Buy any decent unit, DIY, no complaining.
If I needed guaranteed reliability, I would just buy three of them, still save tons of money, and have spare parts (or whole units to swap) for as long as it could ever be useful.
My son and I just finished installing a split ac similar to this one. I consider myself pretty handy with DIY projects, but this one was challenging. Getting a pro to install is probably a good choice for many homeowners.
The heat pump roof unit is interesting. I imagine efficiency would be about that of a window unit but still a very convenient way to add more efficient heat. When my RV AC konks out I was going to install a mini-split but this would be way easier. Curious what the performance difference would be in the real world.
Check out brand name Confortotal. 120v heat pump version has a regular 3 prong plug off the inside air handler. I installed one instead of a through wall sleeve. Using it for a year now including for heat this winter.
Is the Tosot a good brand? I was thinking about pulling the trigger on the Tosot 18k btu but there is also pioneer 18k btu unit for a couple hundred more directly through pioneer. Any advice between the two?

I brought about 1k of tools to do a 5 inside units to a single outside unit, I did rent a N2 tank for 600 psi/48hr testing and brought a cheap 1S vacuum. Next time I'm getting better flaring tools for easier flares instead of a 12 dollar flare set but now have nicer tools now for the most part. So about 6k total.
Apparently I had friends got quoted for 15-25k for all outside wall mounts. For my installation, 4 of the 5 mounts were on inside walls.

Where did you get the flaring tool?

The Senville Leto is also in a similar price range (I believe these are made by midea and should be of similar quality) https://www.amazon.com/Senville-S...B00UV3LGUE
