The voltage doesn't kill you its the current, sorry but my primary trade is electricity. I'm a certified electrician aND did that after a degree in electrical technology. Vaporize? Witnessed lots of stupid stuff and vaporizing wasnt one of them because it isnt what happens.
After the high voltage comment I said no offense, again sorry but making corrections is what I do for a living and sometimes after going over procedures for 14 hours and typing up corrections for safety protocols I tend to forget to leave work at work.

I agree on current vs voltage. We worked with high amp 24v servo motors at my last place. ..sent one guy to the hospital, he thought it's only 24v and tested the wires with his fingers. Burned one finger tip really good. I've taken hits from 120, 240 and 277. The 240 was the worst, knocked me out cold. I always feel more energized after getting shocked though, is weird, I kinda like it.

The most important thing to watch out for is to install the line set with no leaks. If you can, borrow a torque wrench for tightening the flare nuts to the specified torque. By far freon leaks are the number one problem.
More to come ...

I would agree about the leaks, but I think that a tubing bender would have saved me some grief. I recently bought one and fixed my mistake from last year. It is not as bad as it looks because it did hold a charge for the entire winter...

We are having great luck with Samsung and Fujitsu units, the boards are a bit of an issue with the Fujitsu if you have voltage spikes though. Only seen one Carrier in my life lol.

I installed a surge protector on my outdoor fuse box. I am no expert but I believe that is what these are for? $40

Yup they supposedly work but I have changed one board that was equipped with a surge protector, not sure what happened .

I really meant to ask if you had any exp with Mitsubishi to compare it to Samsung or Fujitsu? I have a Gree Terra 24,000btu that I am happy with. I had to fix my mistake but I am still very happy. I thought that I would buy a Mitsu for my living room this month, I am looking to buy one within the next 2-3 days.

I have a little automotive experience and my dad was a diesel mech and he worked on the reefer trailer units. I got $700 worth of tools recently and it was the only thing that really kept me from buying mitsubishi the 1st time. They did not come pre-charged, did not come with a free line-set, and it is about $400 more than my Gree that has the same SEER rating. I feel like I have built a little confidence after repairing my unit and I can take on installing a more expensive unit this time. I am voiding the warranties, so I feel like I am taking a risk.

We are a Fujitsu dealer but have installed a few Samsungs and worked on a few Mits. It's strange that your Mits was not precharged, pretty sure they all do from factory and are good for atleast 50' but again don't know much about them. As for installing yourself I wouldn't recomend it but I'm not supposed to lol. In saying that most are plug and play. Leaks and noncondensables would be the biggest issue. A vacuume pump and gauge will ensure that you have none of both.
