Doesn't have wifi though. And 230v means you need a special circuit installed unless you already have a 230v outlet available. Aside from that, not a bad deal. Maybe good for a garage?

It's literally a mini split for the cost of a window unit. 230 v is already household voltage and can be utilized by simple 12-2 cable that probably is more than sufficient for this unit

First guy is right. 230v outlets are not likely to be where you want to install this, requiring an extra step

Technically there shouldn't be any outlet where you need this because it requires a dedicated circuit and disconnect where the condenser mounts. So you'll need to run wires and install a 110v/220v disconnect outside. Cost of the wire and breaker should be the only difference if you're already paying an electrician to install.

And a space in breaker panel and sometimes even service upgrade.

An extra step? These are not made to plug in to an outlet so you'll likely be running wire regardless of whether its 110/120 or 230/240v. Sure, its good to make folks aware of the voltage requirements but no need to poo poo this because it requires 230v. If youre incapable of running wire, you probably shouldn't be considering one of these unless you hire out installation, in which case its not a big deal.

Nope. The first guy is completely wrong. This is a permanent heat pump, which is required by the national electrical code to be hard wired directly to the main or a secondary breaker box on it's own dedicated circuit. No outlets, no plugs. 110v and 230v are both readily available in a breaker box.

You're supposed to run a new circuit to mini splits. I know a lot of people like 115v ones and just tap into an existing circuit.

If you're running a new circuit, the cost difference between the two is negligible. You could run 14/2 wire, but I recommend just running 12/2. You will need to have 2 available spaces in your panel.

The difference in the panel is on a 115v circuit you will connect the white wire on the neutral bar. For 230v, you will connect the white wire on the other side of the double pole breaker. Just put black tape on the wire to mark it as hot.

What is the typical range to hire an installer for this AC

Noob question. Why are they rating AC units in square feet? Two rooms with identical square footage can have vastly different volumes due to height. Shouldn't volume be the advertised rating?

I was getting ready to chide you for using the white as a hot-line but I googled it first and you're completely right. US code allows you to repurpose the white wire as the second leg of a 230v as long as you mark it at the ends as hot with tape or something.



Seems crazy to me but if it's allowed it's allowed. I guess just hope no homeowner tries to splice it in the future assuming the white is neutral?




Anyways thanks for the info, TIL. If the installer does this instead of running 12/3 with a dedicated red wire then yeah the 230v is going to be nearly equivalent in cost to the 115v other than the fatter breaker. I'd personally still never touch one of these 230v mini splits because they're especially unconventional in the States and I don't have the panel space to spare, but if the price savings is in the hundreds vs 115v then the value proposition gets better.

It's not really that precise of a rating. IIRC it's kinda like AC "tonnage" where it's a standardized value based on some accepted average.

It's just a ballpark. Most people know sqft of the room.

No idea what's taking so long for these low priced units to come up with a Mr Cool method of skipping the AC guy for installation.
