Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ductless Split A/C Units

I have a Trane mini split AC/Heat unit. Its been working great for almost 4 years now. Cools and heats Approx. 500 square foot area just fine. No problems so far. Pretty good little unit.

Pretty sure most if not all HVAC systems manufactured in the last 20+ years have had a board.

Have burned 2 of em up. 1 was a same or next day fix and one was a few days as the part had to come from TX, no Texas furnace dealers in the KCMO area.

It’s an improvement over a window AC. Do it

Mitsubishi is the best hands down. I make most of my income in the HVAC industry and I wouldn’t own anything but a Mitsubishi.

Never pull a vacuum through a set of compound manifold gauges.

Only saving is in duct work. It's like a window unit in two pieces for where you don't have a window and only one big room to cool. And the high dollar ones are very efficient until they break.

They work good.

They have a slow cool/heat thing going but if you plan ahead it does well.

We have 2 and a friend has 3 like the ones we have and also got one of the largest they make.

Cheap to run as well.

We got ours from Alpine home air products,AlpineHomeAir.com.

They will answer any questions you might have.

Thanks

Does the one unit have to be mounted outside or can it be put in the attic?

The compressor part outside with the evaporator coil unit mounted on the inside

Also, Mitsubishi has a model “FS” which will heat to full capacity down to -5.

I have installed 3 of these in my own homes. My son installed one in his office.

They have been great to deal with and have worked flawlessly.

Rick Bin,

You gotta do something. My finger is too big for these buttons.

Watch for mold if humidity is an issue.

I think these are great. Heat and cool just the rooms you are using. Cabin life. I think it would be great. Just try to find out who's best.

Mitsubishi Electric are better than Mitsubishi Heavy Industries...split systems are very popular here, but be aware that they are wanting when you get down toward 0 Celsius.
They are the only way to go in summer, but buy the biggest you can.

-5 Fahrenheit is approximately -20 Celsius. You are talking about a different model. You are probably talking about the GL model. The GL and the FS are available here in the USA Market. Other countries markets could be different but your probably talking about the WR models. And not to be argumentative, but do not buy one as big as you can. The reasoning behind this is because when they throttle back because of a lack of load, the unit’s latent capacity drops off too and that’s when you get old growth.

My big 8.1 kilowatt unit cools the whole house at 49 Celsius...it is wanting under 5 Celsius.

I have no knowledge of what your market provides.

Mitsubishi is the best, we run them non stop year round in server rooms and in other applications.

I'll be in the market soon, for some reason the old owners of our house when it was built, put a 2 ton system in for a simple bonus room above the garage, its showings its age. A mini split would be perfect
