    They are 220 volt. I don't have any windows it my shop to cut down on break ins. I just put them in the wall about 8' up so not to take up wall space. If it's not real hot I just run one.

    I guess I could do that fairly easy. My shop is pole barn style with metal siding and plywood interior wall which lends to fairly easy modifications and repair.

    Mine is a pole barn as well. I put them high to save wall space and up out of the dust and grindings. They have remotes to turn them off and on.
    Another plus is I don't have to work in the sketters.

I'm really wanting it in my shop but know it will cost a pretty penny. Just not sure if it would ultimately be worth it. My shop is 2400 sq ft in the main shop and 700 sq ft in an attached portion so obviously a rather large area. I was thinking about trying a DIY mini split in the 700 sq ft area sometime in the next couple of years. This is still just an idea I'm kicking around in my head and I'm just trying to gather some knowledge so don't roast me too bad.
    Just had ad jump up on slick deals. Was a Home Depot ad for a 12,000 btu mini split for 699.00. Looked like a pretty good deal.

    Depending on the brand. Mitsubishi or Mr Cool that is a pretty decent deal

    Pioneer isn't a bad brand. I looked it up. It is a 19 seer 110 volt mini split. It has a Gmcc brand compressor. I generally prefer 220 volt because of lower operating cost. Mini split technology is getting better by the day. They are also what most of the rest of the world is using for heating and cooling. That Pioneer said it will heat down to -13 that is pretty impressive

    Do you have any idea what these non DIY systems cost to be installed by licensed HVAC pros? I'd imagine if it's non-DIY you can't do it yourself and be warrantied. But seems like an avg DIY'er could wall mount the blower/evaporator, cut and route the set lines/sensor wires/drain hose, mount the condenser unit, and do the electrical to the outside quick disconnect. Seems like you would just need a tech to hook everything up and charge it and leak check it and check the boxes for the warranty.

    I see no problems doing those things. They way I understand the warranty on most of what you order and have shipped to you. Once it hits the door it is yours. I had bought a 24000 btu window unit. After 2 years the control board went out. They do not sale a replacement. I replaced the whole unit. 1 year later, control board dead on that one. I called. They said we know there is a problem with the control board. Sorry. We do not have a solution. Hmmm. I bought these because I can buy parts. The only part that carries a long warranty is the compressor. If that goes out. I would rather replece the whole unit. From first hand experience there is a lot more cooling from a 24000 btu mini split than the same rated window unit. And way more efficient
