In Reply to: Mini Splits posted by dhermesc on October 19, 2023 at 05:01:21:
Four mini splits in operation here, two Mitsubishi and two Pioneer. Mitsubishi are top of the line and more $, Pioneer are perfectly good units and less expensive. The Mits I have work better at really cold temps below freezing maintaining close to set point while the Pioneer are further from set point in those conditions but still keep safely above freezing.
All mini splits are really easy to install. I can take a mini from the shipping palette to installed and running in under two hours including the vacuum down and leak check.
Cleaning mini splits can be a chore for sure, how often depends on the environment. Here we rinse the filters every month or two which takes just a couple minutes.
Deep cleaning I do once a year and after doing for a few years I have settled on using an inexpensive water pick as a mini pressure washer with a plastic mortar mix tub under the mini to catch the runoff. I use commercial coil cleaner after initial pressure washing, and then give a final rinse after. Outdoor units I hose the coils every couple months and use coil cleaner and a soft brush once or twice a year.
Cleaning isn't really more than a conventional split system, with those you have to replace filters regularly, clean the outdoor unit regularly and deep clean the air handler coils periodically since there are always leaks around the filter and the coils will gunk up over time.
ETA: Another advantage of mini splits is redundancy. If one unit goes down your others still are working and can often pickup the load from the down one using a fan or two to circulate the air.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
