3 WAYS to Know Which HVAC DUCTLESS Minisplits SUCK! 

Units discussion starts at 3:30

Down here in South Florida, I own multiple properties. I’ve tested many of these off brands, as I own 10 mini splits. The premium brand is pretty good, I have two that are going on 7 years! Midea also sells parts now. But the most important thing to consider, I get these 12k units installed for $600-$750 materials and labor. If I were to go with an LG, Mitsubishi etc, the cost would be $2,000-$3,000 installed. I can burn through 3-5 of the less expensive units before ever coming to those numbers. Being in South Florida, I’ve had one unit with a Goodman top of the line mini split, next door to a Premium and they both cooled the same. I’ve installed them myself a couple of times as well, but it’s not worth saving $250-$300 to do all that work, in my opinion. Anyhow, just sharing my experience over the past 10 years running 10 units all day everyday. Cheers

Misleading I wanted to hear which systems by brand that suck :(

The problem is Daikin doesn't stand behind their warranty. I am a HVAC tech. I have over 225 Daikin water source heat pumps. We had a problem with the evap coils flaking off with corrosion with in 8 months after being installed. Daikin handed us a " white paper " stating that they know about the issue but , it's the customers problem now. DAIKINS WARRANTY IS A JOKE. I will never buy a Daikin product again......

7 minutes of fluff and 31 seconds of useful information... Ask people who have them Look at the warranty Look at the specifications

Thanks for taking the time to do this, whole lotta trash on the internet I appreciate when people put useful info on here

Here in NC I installed the cheapest ebay mini split for a friend because that was all he could afford. Fast forward 4 years and it's still working. Not all affordable units are junk. The company I work for installs a lot of Gree units. 99% are great but every once in a while you get one that slipped by QC. Even the occasional Daikin is a lemon.

*Love this unit! Using upstairs in my sons bedroom **Fastly.Cool** and he’s finally able to be comfortable upstairs without me freezing downstairs. Works for more sqft than expected!*

Thanks for your time and expertise. It helps a lot. Thank you

Purchased: August 2023 - still works GREAT!I ru-vid.comUgkxxsUnXhGsSJLim_XnMHyQK0u3XVaW-CGn live in a studio and during the summer it gets scorching hot - really old building with no ac units. I can’t express how EASY it was to install. This unit has been a life savior during the summer and some days during other seasons where it can still be a bit warm at night. In this small place is my friend, a husky, poodle mix and myself. We need AC - lolI don’t use the dehumidifier option - I’m not sure if it will leak in my house, since I did not install the small draining hose that came with it. May look into it late but I don’t worry about much humidity in the apartment. I don’t understand why the negative reviews since all things mentioned, I personally did not find issues with. Definitely worth it!

I Have a HVAC tech degree. Most heating is so basic and really any one with a little knowledge can install. Diagnosis is the skill . Most of those warranty are crap in the end. I own rentals and every time its a bs answer when you actually want the warranty.

I bought a senville unit back in 2015 and it's worked perfect and still does. This includes 100°+ days.

Thanks for all the great videos. We live in a 212 year old house with a old oil fired boiler that's going to need to be replaced soon, and is in a space which will make replacement difficult. There's also no AC in the house, with the previous owners using multiple window units. I'm researching options, and leaning towards minisplits, so these videos are really helpful.

The lowdown is this. If you're technically competent and knowledgeable, you can self-install a mini-split you purchase online and it will perform fine (I've installed 3), AND you'll save about half of the costs. Otherwise, you need a licenced HVAC installer, who will probably require you to purchase the unit from his company, making the entire purchase/installation much more expensive. DON'T purchase online to save money and have an unqualified person do the installation.

I recommend buying the cheaper mini split brands with Toshiba compressors. These units are easy to install yourself. It'll save you a lot of money. I've installed 3 units in my house and haven't had any issues for 3 years now.

Have you noticed a quality control issues with all daiken across the board? Before covid almost all daiken equipment was pretty spot on and worked great but since covid it seems that it’s a 50/50 shot that the equipment faulty on start up? And what do you think about the daiken fit systems?

I've found the parts warranty doesn't mean crap ! The labor warranty is whats critical. Any of these companies will send you a replacement part,but when you see the cost for an hvac company to come out and replace that part,you may as well buy a whole new unit.

Wow Josh you give a 12-year parts and labor warranty on your Daiken That's amazing When I had my central AC put in he gave me a year and extended it to two years for labor I think the unit has a 10-year parts only through Bryant. You have a good company cuz I had nobody down in the Northeast give me that kind of a warranty and I tried!!!

Hey Joshua - on the Daikin systems, do you recommend running the fan in the auto position for maximum efficiency whether the unit is in cool or heat mode? I just had one of these systems installed in an in-law site above my garage that isn't used daily. Thanks!

The reason there are so many brands is that anyone who wants to buy about two container loads from China or Korea can brand label their own units. It's a good idea to avoid these because the companies come and go and you won't get a warrantee and can't get parts when they do unless you're able to cross reference to the OEM but you'll have to pay for the parts because they won't honor the warrantee on a branded unit. The efficiency is the thing that really distinguishes the quality of a mini split because the lower eff. units run much higher pressure and compression ratios and don't seem to be made as well. I won't install anything less than a 20 SEER. Another good reference is where it's made. The Japanese invented the things and pretty much make the best units. I think Daikin is Japanese but they have a factory in Texas so it's fair to say they are one of the top of the line units but you pay a premium and in my opinion they are not THAT much better. The Chinese make some pretty good knock offs. I stay away from the Korean units and they are one of the most popular to get brand labeled they aren't really that bad. Both Trane and Carrier brand label Gree from China, or at least they use too, and you won't go wrong with them because you have a big American company behind them but you also pay extra for that. You can get the same thing with the Gree name on it and they're pretty good units for the money, but again, go for the higher efficiency models from a reputable supplier that you're confident will be there in the future.

Mitsubishi rocks. Did a four invertor unit in my home. Very quite and efficient.

I want one in the garage in Phoenix. Do you recommend I just hire a pro to install it? How much is an install?

good stuff! i sell air temp and just recently noticed they only offer 7 year warrenty on their mini splits but daikin has a 10 year parts and compressor. im going to daikin now for mini splits for sure. also dickin you don't have to remove the evap coil to replace the fan motor double win

I just got a premium levella mini split I’m going to put it in my single car garage so my dogs have cold air. Haven’t installed it yet, what do you think of that system?

How cold should a Mitsubishi 15k blow? I have on in my 500 sq ft garage FS series and it seems to take a long time to bring temp down. It is blowing 50 degrees

I bought LG minisplits on clearance maybe 15 years ago. 4 dual zone systems. All but 1 has survived, although I've replaced a lot of sensors and control boards. The 1 thing these videos don't tell you is if the PARTS are available down the road for the manufacturer you choose. I "hate" the LGs BUT the parts were always available for at least 12 years, so they were salvageable for maybe $250 a year in maintenance (24K btus). Yes it's hard to find a pro to fix things. Even harder to find one that will repair rather than fix an older unit. My units are now end of life so I'm looking for new options or just going back to old faithful window units... My favorite AC tech told me something that is true, the simpler the unit is, the easier and less expensive it is to fix. The old constant spin compressors are cheap and easy to troubleshoot. The newer inverter units are much harder to keep functioning when things go south. You can still find these low budget units from Mexico and South America. Although from experience if you need quite a few units from a no name brand, you should order a few full backup units to pull parts from in the future. Just think of it as insurance.

I got a question I followed the link through Amazon to the daikon unit but I'm looking at the line card for the stats it says it's 230 V DC? Also I have a more generic question when you see these units with two inside units can these be operated in different rooms are they separate zones? Thanks Peace ..

One of the biggest problems are the installers are led to believe that many of these units produce undiminished BTUs at sub zero temperatures. This misconception comes from manufacturers advertisements saying the unit works down to 22 below 0 or something similar. What they are not saying is that it has a diminishing BTU output the colder it gets. In order for these units to put out undiminished BTUs they must have a dual stage compressor. These are known as Hyper Heat, Hi Heat, or ULTRA, etc. A single stage compressor will lose close to 50% of its heat output at 0 degrees. When doing a heat load calc for a design day of 0 degrees and your heat load comes out at 24000 BTUs you need a unit that will produce 24000 on a 0 degree day not one that puts out 24000 on a 47 degree day. You would need a 3-1/2 ton unit to supply 24000 on a 0 degree day. Many installers are going to be very disappointed about their heat output when it gets close to design temps in colder regions.

I think doing some research like you referred to, what are the local pros using, will help guide the decision.

There are several good DIY units out there like Pioneer, Coper & Hunter, Senville, and others that have decent warranty's but sadly, one of the biggest issue's with failures has more to do with poor installations than poor equipment. There are too many You Tube videos that are giving poor advice on mini-split installations and the end results are, compressor, evaporator, and system failures blamed on poor quality, when in fact the issue was a very poor installation. A good example of that would be a system with; poor flares; using improper flare nuts; not using a good sealing oil like Nylog; not properly pressure testing (with nitrogen); and then not evacuating it properly using a micron gauge (pulled down to a minimum of 200 to 300 microns, and held for a few minutes to ensure that there are no leaks. Instead they just use analog gauges and cross their fingers hoping it pulled down correctly leaving no contaminents. Few DIY'er are aware that moisture left in a system because of a poorly done evacuation will mix with the refrigerants and become a highly corrosive acid that will destroy a system from within. Sure, it will run fine for a while, but for how long! And then when it fails they'll blame the manufacturer for producing a poor product. When a system is installed, tested and evacuated properly, you can pretty much be sure there is no moisture remaining in the system, and that means a system that will most likely run fine for many years. Do your research, install it correctly, and you'll have a system that will have few if any issues.

Can a ductless system handle New England winters? I'm in the Rhode Island area and our house has no heat at all, just space heaters. Been that way for 13 years now. The house has no gas service so it has to be an electric option. I'm laying in bed right now with about six blankets on top of me, and I'm still freezing my feet off.

Please answer !! If you had to buy a 5-6 zone mini split TODAY what brand ?

Hey bud, Im trying to figure out what the "backlash" temperature setting is referring to on my air-to-water heat pump, any ideas?

Hi! Great video!, I'm thinking about buying the PAC 4600 and I wonder if you have any thoughts about that unit? I've asked the costumer support about warranty for it and I hope that they will respond later today or tomorrow. Have a great day from Sweden!

Thank you> I do have a question and I have directions for how to restore connectivity (after a power outage) to Mitsubishi mini split with the MAECH1 remote controller. The problem is I don't know which button on the remote is the "connect" button. My instructions: remove remote from wall and change batteries. Take it to the unit which in my case is in a room area on the roof. Because I have more than one, I check in the small covers and find the one with the red light. That is the one that has lost connectivity. I hold the remote up to it, push "cancel" on the remote."Cancel appears to be the far left button as it faces me. There are 4 of these buttons.Then, at the same time I push "connect" on my thermostat and the white button inside the little door at the same time, and then let go. (may take several tries) MY PROBLEM is that I do not know which of the 4 buttons on the remote is "connect". To be clear about the buttons, the one on the far left says underneath it "set clock/day schedule" It also says "cancel" but that happens when changing temperature so you are going back to the set temperature. The other 3 buttons, from left to right, say "Fan", System, and More. So if I'm correct that the fr left button is the cancel button, which one is the "connect?" Golly, hope you see this and can help. Thanks

Im an HVAC technician with over 20 years experience, the best advice i could possibly give on the topic of mini splits is two points, lineset length must be a least the minimum length the installation instructions specify for a particular system, and a good quality surge protector should always be used, these things are all inverter based power(it takes the 240 volts from you house and turns it into 300 volts+ DC to run the fan and compressor like a 3 phase). So any power fluctuations can wreak havoc on the CPU.

I have a 6 month old daikin 3 zone and it's currently not working properly, but used to run perfect (is short cycling but not low on refrigerant) and company who installed cant seem to figure it out. Any ideas?! Warranty means nothing if the installers dont know how to diagnose! 👌👏🤔🧐

Do you think a Midea Mini Split Indoor head is different from a Carrier Performance indoor head even thought they are both made by TEC?

so do you guys recommend the Amazon pioneer mini split system? I have a 3 car garage insulated, garage doors insulated as well, about 650sq ft with 8ft ceilings. I live in Clovis California. I was told an 180000 BTU mini split will work fine in my insulated area, or will I need more btus??. by the way do they required a license guy to install it so they can make their warranty valid just in case something happens to mini split?

Appreciate this content and relevant to our situation here in PA trying decide between one contractor offering Mitsubishi and another LG both with relatively the same 12 yr warranty. Without saying no comment (please), do you have a preference?

I want a minisplit in my garage and was really wanting a Mitsubishis The installer that is redoing our entire house with Trane hurnaces/ACs units (two each) said they install Daikin. So that's good to know. I wasn't aware of that brand and just figured it was a generic one. Side question for a garage of 24x24 what size Daikin would you recommend? I'd like AC in the summer and heat in the winter.

Hi Can you tell what the gauge is supposed to read on my Bosh 5000 mini split....when it's off and does it go higher when it runs....Thanks Rick.........

@HVAC Guide For Homeowners Considering a Daikin 19 Series for a 3-sided glass elevated sunroom. 4th side is the brick exterior wall and was suggested to be the install site for the head unit. Another party warned about hanging the head unit on a home's brick exterior commenting about the level and the irregular surface potentially creating water drainage issues. Is this a valid concern being brought up or simply a scare tactic? And if valid, would a floor console-style unit be an alternative?

My 3 ton Bryant package AC unit went out after a long 15 years in Tampa, Florida heat. I bought a 5,000 BTU window unit, while waiting for two eBay mini-splits. I installed them both in one day. One was an 18,000 BTU @ $660, the other a 9,000 BTU @ $590 Because I no longer loose cooling through duct work and associated :heat soak" loss, I not only get more cooler air, the units can not be heard, better efficiency, and my electric bill went down just over $100. That was four years ago, and they still work as well as when new. The window unit never gets used, I bought it new at Home Depot to tide me over until the mini-splits got here. ($99.99 on sale.)

Thanks, very informative stuff. I'm looking at installing a mini split on my mobile kitchen. I keep circling back to Cooper and Hunter with a 7year compressor and 5 year parts warranty. Have you seen these in your field/area or worked with them. Thoughts on the product if you have any? I'm looking at a 12k unit regardless of brand-the unit is only 150 sqft. but has a full kitchen with a large woodfired oven as well-it was reaching temps of 109F last October. I'm in Northern NH so its pretty chilly that time of year here so cant imagine what it will be like in July etc.. So thinking I need to over size the unit to meet the needs of a very hot location?! Looking forward to some knowledgeable input if you can weigh in on the brand I'm considering as well as the sizing for a hot mobile kitchen with a 150sqft area. Thanks so much, Shaun

Can you do a video on how mini splits are fitted into a cape home, particularly, upstairs.

It’s all about the install I have installed a lot of off brands for the last 8 years I have not had one fail the only problem I have had was one remote went bad

Hello Sir, I have a question for you. I bought one of those off brands mini split with heatpump. TuttoKool 12K BTU 20 Seer 115v system. I installed it and it worked great. then after a thunderstorm, it quit working. After the vendor and manufacture (China) refused to answer any calls or emails, I had a local air company check it out and the confirmed it was the PCB not sending power back outside. I sent the board to Precision Electric for repair. They sent it back saying the power was good, the logic was missing. Is there a way to reprogram this? Will a universal PCB for mini splits work? the system is just now working due to no control. Hate to throw it out. Any suggestions?

We do Daikin but when they aren’t available we use Fujitsu. I like Daikin better because it’s a lot simpler. But Daikin seems to spring refrigerant leaks way more in comparison.

This video is the quintessential definition of bloviating!

Good video Building a 16 × 6 x 7 trailer to get home more often my parents are getting old. qustion i am going with confort..... cheap i know but codensor is smaller and lighteron for tong weight wear i am mounting. 35 year appliance tech here. What would youe personally reccomend? And still be good down the line for solar Thank you

Daiken is a lower mid-range brand. They have a 12yr parts warranty, but labor is high-end. When I buy high-end I expect to get 10-15ýrs out of it with little maintaineñce. I can for advice, not for a sales pitch.

Goodman should have a class action agst them if only the customers knew how bad they are. 2yrs on inducer motor assembly, maybe 3 at best. Trane by far the least problematic in my experience. Great video!

Im in San Diego, bought my mini in Mexico, 400, bracket & pvc cover 90 vacuum pump 120, installed it myself for total 610.00 here they wanted 1300.00

I'm looking for a super high efficiency mini split installed on my motorhome for use when off-grid. Do you offer 12-year warranties on mobile installations? I'm leaning toward the Blueridge 38 SEER (16.7 EER) 9,000 Btu unit but would prefer a 12k Btu unit if I could find one with over 15 EER. Batteries, solar, inverters and the rest of my system will cost many times what the mini-split costs, so efficiency is everything for my application.

Thanks great advise

Installed 2014 Fujitsu mini split ductless heat system sounds like plane taking off upon starting and then while running sounds squeaky. Is it fan motor and fan blades?

I'm considering a single head 12,000 btu Daikin unit. How do their different (SEER) product lines compare in term of reliability? e.g. if I care more about reliability & repair-ability rather than efficiency, are they (Different Daikin variants) the same?

Sometimes I wonder if the reason some installers have a preferred brand they push is less because its any better and more because they more profit off a certain brand.

You don’t have to waste time taking out the fan from the ac unit. All you need is an old toothbrush to clean the fan blade while still in there. Dust will fall off. Spin the blade with fingers till you reach everything.

Thanks for the info on these units

I live in Virginia so I went to your website but was confused about the cost of the "guide" is $299.00 per year. What would I receive for that amount? Can you recommend an installer near Danville? I need two single head units installed.

Thanks for advice

Don’t listen about warranty unless you’re buying from a certified HVAC technician and COMPANY, otherwise install yourself and make it the cheapest

Can you just give us a list of good/bad brands?

Do you recomment or not recomment Fujitsu units ?? My contractor is wanting to install one in my home addition ...

Need help please. I'm in lower Ohio and I am looking for with the harsh winters I'm wondering what would be your recommendation for a 2,102 Sq ft house for heating and cooling? Please let me know. Thank you.

i own an HVAC company. I had a commercial customer have a GLOBAL unit installed. It immediately broke down within 2 days. They called me out. i diagnosed it then called GLOBAL. Global asked me who makes the unit to which i replied " you do your name is on it". They told me they do not make the unit they just buy whatever and repackage it with their model and serial number. they said the parts are not available and the customer would just have to purchase a new unit. I informed my customer what they said then sold them a Mitsubishi. Not too sure about daikin warranty. I had a daikin rep come look at a job. While he was there he was on the phone with another company and i heard him say " we will not cover any labor we will just give the customer a new head unit " The unit is fairly new so i am not impressed with their warranty.

i got a?????? i got a premium mini split i stalled about a year a go and i think the reversing valve is bad should i save my money and fix this if i can find some to service it of buy a new unit

Let's keep it real. Most do t install customer supplied equipment because you don't get the markup on equipment.

I see a lot of praise for the FUJITSU brand, people have had units for more than 10 years Ok I am in the area you bring up, and I need to cool and heat a minibus - 15ft passenger area, - 8ft wide, - 7+ft tall, - and the short cabin 3ft. Purring on low: - what size will do that? -What brand?(the brand you mentioned? can't remember, never heard of it.) -What SEER? -What HSPS? -Voltage, 120V. (solar system restriction) can go 240V if it is really worth the efficiency trade They say SEER 19 to 25 is all that is needed, as over that(38+) it takes 20 to 40 years to recup the higher cost) + given the humidity the SEER goes out of the window. Gotta have the remote control or IOS app - wifi / bluetooth

Can you do a video about the Mini Splits that run on solar and wall power as hybrids?

Are you completely against buying pre-charged units from Amazon or are there actually good choices?

What is your opinion on the best mini split for a large two car garage?

I cleaned my filter and now it’s leaking water down the wall.Any idea of potential reasons? Thanks from Texas.

What do you think of Cooper and Hunter brand?

Awesome video in my case it's my bedroom management installed an air ductless AC PTAC unit.I want to know if an Booster Fan be used in an 10"x6" opening? I just want air flow into my bedroom.Its def not connected to an HVAC anymore since they pulled out the air duct system.Any help will be appreciated thank you in advance.

I need a 24k btu mini split for my 3 car garage (aka woodworking shop) in phoenix Arizona. What brand would you recommend? Whats the most efficient while being strong at cooling the space?

How much is tacked onto the purchase price to cover the lengthy warranty? I thought you would cover mechanical issues, not warrenties.

Well, I appreciate your input, it certainly doesn’t help me down in Florida, I thought you were going to offer up some products names that were no good that you discovered in your day in and day out installation of units. Are there any that should be steered away from?

So can you suggest a good system brand I am about to buy one and live in California

Do you know anything about a Norton mini split unit?

First rule in recognizing someone is either biased or trying to sell you something, they use term "cutting edge".

Thanks for the tips and info. My only suggestion is to be quicker and concise.

Everything you said makes perfect sense.

Hi there, I have enough money to eyeball on a minisplit brand between Panasonic Climapure system or a Mitsubishi H2i system. I can't find much info out there comparing these 2 but one article states panasonic offer a 7 year warranty where as mitsubishi offer a 1 year warranty. I do like the panasonic air quality stuff but then again mitsubishi can operate in colder climate. well i'm leaning towards the panasonic as i'm buying it mainly cuz there is a freaking heat wave in california right now and also we just got sick and so air quality is quite a bonus to me here so i'm wondering if panasonics air quality might be a gimmick or not.. but colder days i'd like to have that mitsubishi h2i system functioning also the mitsubishi does have air quality protection layer as well but idk if it's as good or just as good as panasonics air quality stuff where it can override that and reap the benefit of the h2i system. what do you think? or is there a better brand? I'm trying to find Daikin atmosphera but can't find anything selling online at all, so that's out of the picture. any help appreciated. btw we live in an apartment and the ac system in here is all kinds of fked up, so i'm planning to do a custom setup on a mini split outside of a window as we live in 2nd floor. the owner is fine with nails and attachments onto the apartment as well, no hoa's. edit: on 2nd read, mitsubishi actually provide 10 year warranty not 1.

Great video, Question... I have a 350 sq ft shop, Spray-in foam insulation and I only have 110 Volts 30 amps at the shop. According to the data sheets I need a 9K btu unit at 110 volts. But for about the same price I can get a 12K btu ac @ 110volts why would I not go with the 12k btu unit. so confusing... I live in South Texas where its 100 deg. for 2+ months every year.

What do you know about Blueridge and/or Senville?

Down to what temperature will Daikin ductless produce heat?

I had Daikin units. The bedroom unit coil leaked. Then after $1500.00 in labor charges from a 40 year air company, it didn't fix that. I got the head covered and replaced. The following year The Livingroom interior unit leaked. I think Daikin is the worst of the worst. The units were only 4 years old. They are now out of my house. Only used for AC by the way. So thats like one year of operation in NY. It gets hot 3 months of the year.

Interesting I have now seen a MrCool video that shows you how to replace the control board. Are they saying their units fail? Read their warranty and they have so many restrictions they will never have to honor.

What is ur opinion on the Panasonic mini split

Sony guts...lol Hey, what's a good price for an installed ductless system? 3 unit, 1 2 ton, and 2 1 ton units. Getting some quotes. I understand there can be some differences, but a range would be helpful?

Hello, what do you think about Lennox mini splits

As long as it's DYI at places like Lowes and Home Depot a Mr. Cool is warrantied for a few years and costs about 1/4 what a premium unit costs. You can buy 3 or more for one of the premium brands.

I didn't think about a warranty. The Mr. Cool warranty seems to be much less than a pro install. But getting a pro install costs much more and takes months to schedule. I wonder if it's a wash in the end?

We are currently in a rental property in Florida that has four Daikin units. To put it bluntly, they suck the big wazoo. We tried to leave them in auto mode, set to one temperature. They blew nothing but cold air even though they were in auto. Any time we try to adjust the temperature, they stop working and the on lights just blink. A tech came out and told us if it happens again to trip the circuit breaker and reset it. The only way for us to regulate temperature is to reset them and have heat, then again turn off the breaker and set them to cool. I would never ever have these installed in my home. This is the second rental property we have had with these and both times they were pieces of poo.

I work for a huge company we install Lennox and I have been installing there mini splits for a while and the other day I went to a install and it was a 5 head system that was installed by some guy installed that the home owner found somewhere and they had the system work for a couple hours and never heard from the installer again cost the home owner over 20 grand every head had condensation drains back pitched and kinks in the line sets we needed up ripping everything out and installing all new cause we can’t guarantee that after all the heads and lineset get reinstalled and recharge the whole system cause when I got there the system was empty that it would even work so he paid for a complete new system. That’s why I tell everyone don’t do it your self or hire someone that works out of the back of there car with no insurance or license cause the money you save will cost you a lot more in the long run. I have so many people that want me to install there equipment they bought cheap somewhere and I did for a while payment up front with papers signed saying I am not responsible for the equipment if it does not work and no matter what happens someone will always try and blame the installer to help themselves out. Meanwhile I have been to so many classes to learn to repair mini splits from many of the top companies and I have installed close to 600 mini split systems I know how to do my job and I take pride in it I don’t rush or skip on anything cause I would not want that done at my house I recommend that customer look at what the warranty is. The company installing the equipment and reviews for the company before agreeing on a job

The online mini splits are what a lot of people buy including myself, because they don't want to spend insane amounts of money for a HVAC contractor to install them.

i thought griffin air was going to be a small plane company :) am i mad buying anything like this, Telefunken TEALCE-12CHSA i need it for heating not cooling, , never goes below 40f. whats your thoughts?
