I'm almost to the point that I want to get it installed by someone else. I'm going to see if the guy who did my electrical would give it a shot. I think I might go with the ideal air if I do it so it can run in the winter.

they are actually very simple to install. it took me less than an hour to hang inside unit, wire outside unit, run wire and lines from unit to unit and even had to shorten the lines and reflare them. i paid a guy $60 to come out and vac the lines and make sure pressure held(leak check), no need for him to go inside that way.

Bought this unit for a 5x5x9h totally sealed co2 room with 1600 watts lighting and it doesn't even strain even when 100F out. I installed it entirely myself in a Saturday afternoon, even the purging of the lines as it comes equipped with self purging valves. Everything is included for the installation, which is rare. No need for a HVAC person to snoop nor their hefty bills. Self-installation does NOT void your warranty as do most others Really satisfied with this unit. hope it helps

If you have a leak though he'd probably want to go inside. You did just make it a million times less intimidating to install. What brand do you have ?

They are fine and if you have any questions their tech support will guide you perfectly..even email you step by step photo guide... I am a retired/disabled old dude and I did it...was simple stupid...the wiring is even done for you...you just have to connect two qwik connects... I shopped long for one and it offered all I was interested in and really works swimmingly
and the unit will cool to 15F outside ambient air

Now I just have to make sure its not going to be in violation of my neighborhoods rules. That's the price of living in a condo I guess. I'm glad it worked for you, I may pull the trigger here.

the only real place for a leak on a new unit,barring damage, is from the line connections. so if there is it would only take a little snugging of the fitting and that you can do. i told him it was for our master bedroom since my wife was very ill and it was hard to regulate her temp to the rest of the household and that she was very sick that day and not taking visitors, so i covered my bases before hand. if you are handy it is a simple installation, just follow the instructions. i went with the lg inverter series, 23 seer i believe.

Wow, those units are actually LESS efficient than window bangers. The Freidrich "Breeze" is even more "do-it-yourself" (no wrenches!) than these units, but comes with better efficiencies, stronger warranty's and are more easily moved if needed.

Anyone ever see these? Head pressure control http://www.pexsupply.com/ICM-Controls-ICM325HN-ICM325HN-Single-Phase-Head-Pressure-Control-120-480-VAC
from what I have read on the net you can use this to run your minisplit in below 0 temps. I just ordered one and will be installing it this week.

and only costs TWICE as much.... I also have concerns as to the inverter technology having to cool the constant heat sources the bulbs present

the inverter technology is absolutely the best thing to hit the ac market in many years. it allows the compressor to slow down and speed up depending on load. this saves tons of wear and tear on the compressor from not having to shut off and start up every time. it keeps a much more even and consistant room temp and is much more energy efficient. my electric bill dropped when i changed from a 5500 btu wall ac to a 12k btu inverter mini split.

when i switched to my mini splits from aircooled hoods my electric bill went down ... i would advise anybody wanting to set up a serious grow that they are going to be growing year round with 4kw or more in a room the first thing i would buy is a mini split... inline fans are stupid and dont do shit if your running over 4 k in one room

well with 2k of lights a dehumid and the ac my bill went up $130 over what it was prior to running it...I can live with that fine...and it does an awesome job keeping it within a variance of 5 degrees...i just do not see it being worth twice the price for 3-4 more seer
And it is much more efficient than a window unit ....but you do what you do...I am completely satisfied with my setup and its results as I also run 300-400 uw/cm2 of uvb

Finally got it. It is in my garage. It is looking like Monday I will try to install this big bitch.
I ordered the 24,000 btu unit. That fucker is double the size I expected! (that's what she said.)
Semi delivered it on a pallet.
If buying an AC unit after the first snow of year isn't odd enough, having an 18 wheeler in your front yard delivering it, isn't the most subtle way to go about getting it to the house. lol.
I do not have the wiring cables. I read one comment that they cost about $15. I will pick it up Monday along with a bit to drill hole in house for cables and tubing. Looks like about 3". (that's what she said.)
