12,000 BTU 1-Ton 20.8 SEER2 Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner Heat Pump Variable Speed DC Inverter+ System 110/120V

Seems like a decent deal. I been looking for one ever since I found someone here who would install it for me. Around here, only need AC for about a month so not looking for top efficiency.

I would recommend a 220v unit if you have the power available. It will run at about half the cost of a 110v unit. Requires the same romex (wire), just need a two pull breaker vs a single pull breaker.

Here is a 220v that is a little higher seer rating for a cheaper price 699.

Run half the cost? Isn't the wattage the same?

Do you mean half the amperage? No way it'll run half the cost.

Last time I did these calculations, it was something around 3-5% max. 240V units are sometimes a little more efficient SEER as the most major contributor. Line losses due to resistance were just a couple watts! All in all, not worth eating up another breaker for extremely small gains in my situation.

If you have breaker space though by all means do it, it's better all around, just marginally.

The 120V one posted by the OP is rated at 10.3A, the lower priced, but similar 220V model posted by another user above is rated at 4.8A. It's not anywhere near a 3-5% difference in cost to run.

I've been looking for a 12,000 BTU 110/120V, but I compare all of these to my current favorite which is the Della Optima Series $750 on Amazon 22 SEER2. šŸ¤”

btw, the Pioneer shows $728 on Memorial Day

10.3/(4.8*2) = 1.07. So it uses 7 percent more power

Unless you find a licensed HVAC technician to install this for you (so the warranty is honored), would the disposable Costway unit at ~$447 with free shipping is a better deal? https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/958662

It is even Energy Star Certified. The 17000 BTU one is also $629.

Electric company bills you for power used, measured in watts. You get power by multiplying voltage and current.

In this case the 120V unit will use 120 * 10.3 = 1,236W. Meanwhile, the 220V unit will use 220 * 4.8 = 1,152W

So, in this example, 120V unit is (1,236 - 1152)*100/1,236 = 6.8% less efficient.

There is almost no difference in electric cost between 110 and 220. Where did you get your info? It's about the watts.
