any of you guys have a mini split system in your home? If so, how is it for heating?
well look who it is. good to see youI have one set up for my 2 car garage. it works great. heats and cools quick and keeps it that way. I did upgrade my garage door to an insulated one as well.
as far as having one do the house depending on the size you will need more than one
LOL I been around ... sorta kinda ...well look who it is. good to see you
I used a mini split to cool & heat our 900sqft addition we put on our house last year. It was an attic remodel where we removed the roof and put a second story on. I used Mr. Cool's DIY unit that comes with pressurizes lines and I did the entire install. It works flawlessly. Kept the upstairs at 70 in 100-degree temps and kept it 70 when it was -10 degrees out. For $1,500 you can't beat it I don't think.
This is the unit I bought and where I bought it from. Ingram's has a good reputation for this stuff and I had a good experience with them as well.

Nope, you don't have to with this kit. They have a unique valve on them and once you connect the pre-charged lines, you are good to go.Did you have a tech come out and do a nitrogen purge and pull a vacuum?
