I would do this in a hot second but a little out of my price range. Would like to do just 3 bedrooms. One is a basement and this would provide security not having an open window and the biggest plus is the ability for each room to control their temperature
The thing I wanted to find out is why would you get one of these and not just a cheap window unit. Are they just for rich people who don't want to have the poor people stigma of having an AC unit in their window? That's what I'm getting from it.
Ductless units are more akin to central air systems, so they have added benefits like being able to cool larger spaces, being quieter (from inside), and generally being a more robust and permanent solution. Furthermore, window units are not always practical depending on the type of space being cooled... and if you are trying to cool multiple rooms, you may need multiple window units, which also begins to get expensive. As with anything to do with owning a home, there are many different solutions to problems, each with their own pros and cons, and different price points to fit different budgets.
@@furnaceprices If you needed multiple inside units to cool the house, would those be able to run off a single outdoor condenser or would you need one for each inside unit?
@@zesty2023 You can usually run multiple indoor units off of one outdoor unit, though a larger one will be needed as the number of indoor units goes up. Of course it depends on the size of the home or building, as the indoor units can only be so far from the outdoor unit, so sometimes a second outdoor unit may be needed. Hope this helps!

There are too many comparisons to post here. But I'll start with money! My electric cost for heat and ac is 50 to 60% less than running a near energy star rated oil fired boiler and a energy star rated window unit. The figures are OVER the past four years with stable energy cost and heating degree days. I have a 1200 sqf cape located in the mid atlantic where 5200 combined heating and cooling degree days are normal. We have a few mornings of near or slightly below zero temps and maybe thirty days of 95 degree days. Humidity us a bear. I chose a Mitshubishi because it is SPEC'ED FOR low mounting. Mine is under a window, 24 inches from the floor. I'm pleasantly surprised at the low tempture variations of two degrees max thru out my home and the humidity managament.. At 5 ft distance the noise level is less than a library!
Half- Dude They have some outdoor units that can control up to 8 indoor units. Outdoor unit isn’t that big either. Supposed to be way more energy efficient than traditional hvac. Plus resale value way better with this. Think of seeing home on Zillow that says it comes with all 10 window units 🤔

Hi! Thanks for watching our videos. You may find our newest video helpful, so be sure to check them out. 😊
Can we not install nest thermostats when we have this system?
Yes, typically Nest thermostats will work with most ductless systems.

They are way to expensive and HVAC companies better than doubles the cost with 200 percent markup just on the components.
