24,000 BTU Mini-Split Heat Pump Air Conditioner-230V

Awesome Addition!

This is an awesome addition to my garage/shop. Here, I use the garage as a shop once I back out the cars. In the summer the temps in the garage are about 85 degrees and wintertime dip to the low 50's. So far, it has had no problems keeping the garage cool in the low 70's. It is wonderful to work out there now. The bride appreciates it because I'm not working in the basement! The install was predictable. There are several YouTube videos showing how to install mini-splits. The videos showing the Mr Cool install is very close to the TOSOT installation. I do recommend the LRN2DIY third video. Do not underestimate the electrical work! I do recommend using 10-gauge wire and using fuses in the disconnect box for the recommended amperage per TOSOT. This way you can upgrade to a larger/multi mini-split system without rewiring. After watching several different videos, I realized hoisting the indoor unit up (on a ladder) can be sporting. I temporarily install huge garage hooks about 1.5"~2" below the unit to help ease the installation. The outdoor unit install is straight forward but heavy. Plan accordingly. We mounted on the wall using brackets with 300# capacity. The rubber damper feet keep any vibration off the wall and not transferred. I did cut the line set to the minimum length and had to re-flare the copper tube ends. The 5/8" tubing went fine with the flaring tool. However, the 1/4" tube took a few tries to get it correct. I'd practice first on the cut off pieces. Even trimmed, I still had 3 feet to loop around. If I had to do it over, I'd move the outdoor down the wall, so I don't have to loop the line set. This unit is so quiet -- both inside and outside! Unbelievably quiet. Since this is a heat pump for heat, I do acknowledge there is a point where heat pumps don't work when it's too cold. In that case, I'll use my Mr. Heat electric heater which sounds like a jet engine. Typically, this would be less than a dozen days per winter in the Midwest. You can control the mini-split with the included remote or a cell phone app. For those of you using Home Assistant, there is a Gree+ Integration. The HA Integration works well and recognized my TOSOT right off the bat. Kudos to the authors of the GREE+ Integration! For the price and a little bit a of work, you can install this mini-split series yourself! Highly recommend.
