    Ductless mini-split air conditioners are the most energy-efficient type of air conditioner.
    A SEER rating is a measure of energy efficiency. Mini-split air conditioners with a SEER rating of 20 or above are the most energy-efficient. In other words, they can generate a tremendous quantity of cooling power at a fraction of the cost of electricity (compared to other AC types).

    I had a Mitsubishi installed in my home in Connecticut in 2018 - whole house mini split with 1 giant exterior unit and 6 interior units. Cost including installation was close to $25,000 and that is NOT including electrical which was another couple thousand dollars. The unit failed almost immediately - they came back 6-7 times before identifying the reason(s) which were leaks in a couple of spots in the refrigerant line. In the meantime I was so frustrated that I called Mitsubishi myself - and they refused to work with me, the homeowner. They only deal with the dealer/Installer who by the way is on their list of highest (Diamond?) level dealer. I pointed this out to them and they informed me that the list is generated based on the number of installs and has no reflection on the quality of the installer's work. I then proceeded to ask them to send me somebody from another company to fix the issue once and for all - they said that was up to me to do that and of course I would have to pay more money to have another company fix it even though the unit is only a couple of months old - or I could stick to the original diamond-level installer who has not been able to fix the unit thus far. Homeowners should take not of this! That unit works to this day and I have not had to call for service since July of 2019. (yes, took almost 7 months for them to finally fix and they had to send their special technician so half my summer was also miserable with the heat!). Maintenance is washing the filters regularly. The fact is any of these units can work well or can fail. You decide as a homeowner what is best for you. What it is that you are willing to pay for and what it is that is you want to compromise on. After my experience I would probably go with a DIY model that is more affordable - and have an HVAC person you can depend on who can fix problems for an affordable fee. If the unit cannot be fixed they are also less painful to replace than a unit worth 25K. I would prefer a manufacturer that works with the homeowner as well - Mitsubishi is definitely NOT that based on my own experience. They only work with their dealers/installers so if you trust your HVAC people with your 25K worth of investment - go for it! If not o pick something that is reasonably priced. Best in class is only good while the product is working - when it fails and it is a constant 20 degrees outside a $25 space heating unit from a local store is better than a professionally installed, non-working 25K Mitsubishi whole house Mini Split system.

    I would add that when it comes to the warranty, make sure you ask up front what is required in order for the warranty to be valid because some manufacturers require the unit be installed by a "certified" HVAC contractor, something they don't make very clear unless you ask. Pioneer is one company that will honor their warranty if installed by a DIY'er as long as you register your installation within a certain time frame.

    Before you buy one of these, like I did, ask people to check their temperature near the floor. I bought a Senville LETO series 9,000 btu. This is for a Mobil home of 480 sf but the mini is installed in the bedroom with a 144 sf so that's more than enough btu's. I installed my unit at 8' high and set the temp at 78 because I'm in Phoenix, it's in the mid 40's at knight, and I like it warm. It got warm quickly but the temperature was not spread all around especially in the lower half of the bedroom. So I got a thermometer and put it on the floor and it was only at 70 degrees. Yes. That's 70 at the floor and 78 at the 8ft height. This means that there’s 1 degree temperature difference for every foot and at the height of the bed the actual temp is about 72-73 degrees even though, the heat is set at 78. My original plan was to get 2 units, the 9,000 btu for the bedroom, which I already bought, and another 12,000 btu for the kitchen and the living area. The plan was to buy the mini split's to eliminate the propane heating at $120 per month but it doesn't look like the plan will work out.

    I bought and self-installed a Pioneer 9000 btu unit in early 2021 for my amateur radio equipment room and electronics service shop. I have a lot of heat generating equipment and need to keep the room temp about 68 degrees. This unit has performed flawlessly since, and can actually pull the room temp down to 62 (lowest I've tested it). Install was totally painless. The only issue I have had is with the thermostat not regulating very well. The sensor on a mini-split is in the wall unit air return, and since cold air drops and warm air rises, in my application it will sometimes be 5-8 degrees below the set temp because the heat from the equipment keeps the air at the top of the room warmer than the cold air at workbench level. Easy fix, ceiling fan. I paid less than $700 with free shipping direct from the company. A bargain all the way. I am considering a 36,000 btu unit for a larger shop area. I will not hesitate to buy a Pioneer for that application.

    Quote for an 18k BTU FROM AC company. Mitsubishi- $7100
    Durastar-$5500
    Daikin- $6200
    These prices are me handling all the electric. Durastar has a one year warranty, Daikin 7 year. Mitsubishi 10. They are charging approximately $3500-$4000 for labor to do the most straight forward install. It's absolutely outrageous. I went with a Mr. Cool 18k BTU from Costco for $1500. Comes with a 5 year warranty with a DIY pre-charged lines. Had electrician run electric, $250. So for $1750 got a 18k BTU with a 5 year warranty for less than 1/3 the price of the AC companies. Don't even care if I have to replace the condenser every 5 years for this price.

      Lmao I agree! Back in 2017 I bought a 3 zone senville 36k btu unit for $2100 including all the parts to install. I called a local hvac company to Install it(which they refused to do so at first since it wasn't a unit they sold me) but then I convinced them to do so. They came out for a install estimate and it was going to be $2400+ tax..that wasn't including the electrical! I was shocked and told them no thanks...I ended up doing the research and bought about $700 worth of tools to do the job right. I installed it and have since used my tools to install 5 more units since then. I just couldn't justify paying more for the Install than I paid for the unit itself! They even said it would take 2 guys less than 4 hours to do the job... that's a huge markup for 6-7 hours of work.

    Shop around. Many of these units are identical to other off brand named units right down to the housings. Like lawn tractors, many different brands come out of the same factory so price and availability are key factors to many of these units. Tosot, Della and a few others are all the same unit.

Beware of advice from anyone that is a professional. They will always be biased towards the brand their company works with.

      Absolutely. You can buy minisplits that have multiple indoor units that all run off of the same outdoor unit. That way you can have all the rooms in the house cooled but what's great is you can decide what rooms you want to cool or not. You can also set different Temps for different rooms. For example, you can set your room to 65° at night while your kids' room is set to 70°. They are superior to ducted systems in almost every way in my opinion.

I don't have one but I do know they use the same components as senville/pioneer and a few other brands( they have a single manufacturer in China and companies like pioneer and Mr cool but the units from them and place their own brand labels on it) they work amazingly and if you plan to Install this yourself Mr cool is the best choice since they sell special refrigerant lines that are pre charged and sealed so you don't need any special HVAC tools(vacuum pump and gauges) to install it. If you are having a professional or a experienced hvac person installing it you can buy a pioneer or senville and save a couple hundred dollars. I have installed about 7 minisplits before and my senville from 2015 still runs perfect. Don't let these hvac companies scare you about these brands, they make all their money on overcharging you for brands like Mitsubishi and the install. I was able to install my own unit to cool my whole house for less than 1/3 of the cost I was quoted by local hvac companies.

      Downside of precharged lines is you cannot check for leaks without a leak detector, but when pulling a vacuum you can. Takes all of 30 minutes to pull down, dry and rest. If the vacuum remains at or very near the same after 15 minutes, leak free. If the lines leak on the precharged unit, good luck finding an HVAC guy to come out and fix and recharge it. Most HVAC will not touch a DIY unit.

    I love how Mitsubishi or Carrier aren’t mentioned in this video. All of these units in this video are toaster ovens. Meaning if they have a major break. You throw it away and buy another one.
    Also to mention that getting a hold of their service to get parts is abysmal.
    Which defeats the purpose of repairing. Mitsubishi and Carrier have great client/contractor support and can readily get parts for repair. As opposed to all these other companies Good Luck.
