In twenty years or so, I'll know more about the long-term usage.

Yes, it also heats, but my wife and I installed about of about a mile of tubing in the floors and a WM Ultra boiler 95% so not much heating usage, I hope. I did a test and it put out 115 F air...

I looked at a mini split for my 350 sq ft sunroom.

Putting in a 15k BTU PTAC unit (hotel style) turned out to be a better, cheaper choice, for me. I paid about $750 for the wiring (220v), and $1000 for the unit, delivered.

Drive Yourself Insane.

DYI is what I do instead of DIY.

I snicker that you “did it yourself” - with your HVAC S.I.L. ;)

Still, a good job and it saves a lot to have a well-working system.

—”What is DYI?”

If this AC unit holds up and I have some time...

I may learn to actually look at what I peck out???

Yes, should be DIY, as in DO IT YOURSELF.

Not, Do Yourself In?

I considered terminal units, but insufficient wall space, too much glass and cutting the holes and framing in the exterior wall looked like work to me.

He and our daughter have our three grandkids, he coaches on two soccer teams...
A very busy schedule.

My wife likes the AC on hot summer nights, not waiting for the AC project to come around.

Thinking of the likely FreeRepublic post:

I would have run the 30 inch vacuum over night as well. I hate air and noncondensables. Other than that

Damn good job!

It’s about all they use in tropical Asian climates. They work great.
