"Heater" makes it sound like there is an electric heater, but this is a heat pump. At least according to the description. Having an electric resistance heater in a MS isn't unheard of, but it would be weird.

They all come with refrigerant loaded...but some like Mr cool have the lineset ready to go...kind of plug and play. But most require you to have a pump to pull a vacuum in the line first and manifold to see what's going on.

Does this come pre-vacummed? I'm thinking between this and the Albott DIY series on Amazon for 550$ that comes pre-vacummed which make DIY very easy. Any recommendations?

No, you need to evacuate the lines with a special pump. The pre-vacuumed/charged lines tend to be more expensive and longer term less reliable. But for beginner without the tools/gauges/pump, pre-filled lines are very nice.

Thanks, I noticed the lower temperature limit in the heat spec and wondered about that.

I honestly thought they were using "heater" a little disingenuously. Some mini splits will have a defrost heater on the condenser (outside unit) so it doesn't freeze up when in cooling mode on absurdly cold days. Which matters little to nothing to most people since few of us would be running the AC on a 10F or colder day. I assumed that is what they were referring to but creating the suggestion it was a heat pump as well (which it appears to be and I am just overly suspicious Wink)

*Unless you are trying to cool a server room regardless of outdoor temps...and hopefully no one is spending $400 to product countless thousands in IT equipment.

Not sure what you mean? If there is a heat setting, its acting like a heat pump to pull energy from the outside and move it into the house. Its a heater. Its 5 degrees lower limit is to let people know how cold it can be and still work to extract energy. Some cant go below freezing, or even 40deg F. Some can go down to 15, some 5, some -4, and some -13. Further you go down into its lower limit the less efficient it gets, they usually will not run at all below it

Like I hinted to before, some units use a heater on the condenser unit (to melt ice build up) to further increase the range of how low the unit can effectively cool when outside temperature get below a certain temp. (That isn't the only method to lower range of cooling, but is an important one) It isn't a bad feature to have if you have a use case depends on 'low ambient operation.'

With their use of the word "heat," as opposed to heat pump I was thinking the manufacturer / seller was suggesting it had a heating mode (true heat pump) when it really it just had a little heated wire hanging out in the drain pan of the ODU. They could have also been hinting at an electric strip heater in the air handler, but to be honest, those are harder to implement unless the air handler is powered locally since those electric heaters would have a high amp draw, thus need heavier gauge wire than the "communication wire" could deliver (since the air handler is also powered via that THIN comm wire). You tend to see that more in mini splits with traditional looking air handlers, such as the Mitsubishi SVZ style since they have their own dedicated power.

*But again, I was just being overly suspicious and the world "heat" (vs heat pump) which likely was just an omission in translation since the description of the unit confirms this is a heat pump. Which I mentioned in my first comment.
