WOW very very nice program from NRCanada
but i'll need to take time to fill in the info correctly as it gave me a 10 000$ yearly cost of heating ( we just completed first year and first winter period with something like 3000$ of total electricity cost, that includes all heating
and i have leaks everywhere, missing some doors ( taped tyvek/foam in its place..leaking with no end!! )
this gives me a 40 000 but cooling required
so probably will end up much less than that like heating cost
I understand that mini splits are not designed to operate with another evaporator now,
done some reading and i've been pointed out to this also a few times now
( unfortunately )
I believe we have waited too long now and will probably buy the AC for next year
since only 2-3 weeks left of heat here, and it wouldn't be installed before that time neway
so not worth it to rush
Do you guys know if Daikin makes a ac compressor that can be used with regular evap ?
seems like it is now the only reliable company for compressors ...and not that much more expensive !!
Too bad that most model now use an "inverter" with variable speed compressors etc...
would've been nice to be able to use those
But seriously, i don't see how it couldn't be use
other than having to bypass the electronic control board
( unless the compressor cannot be turned on regularly )
Will have to think my design again ...
i think i might have enough CFM if i can get out with 2 1.5ton or less units
worth it to consider buying some cheaper brands like goodman lennox etc...
and get on with it ??
not that there is much of a difference as i've found some mitsu and daikin units at less than 300$ more than the same size of goodman/amana
would still be intrigued to find and look at electrical schematics for one of the split units compressor system
jimbo: i understand the analogy and i agree with it
BUT
Please do not include me within the CAUSE as i have NEVER purchased based on price solely and i seriously despise the late POS products that all brands are manufacturing in the recent years
i always design and or purchase based on quality and performance factors
that is the same reason why i am considering getting something like daikin or mitsu compressor even if more expensive
and more of an hassle to install
