Good news, the HVAC/plumbing guy who is redoing the plumbing in 2 days finally got back to us with a quote for a mini split. He installs Fujitsu which I think is on par with the Mitsubishis, but will get the Mitsubishi for us if we want it. His quote is between $4700 - $5200 for an 18K BTU unit...

Thank you so much for your input Bill! I was finding the unit itself for about $4200 (online) but wasn't convinced that we needed such a powerful mini split. Now that you mention the inverter, it makes a little more sense why the company we're dealing with is pushing it. The company guarantees...

Actually, not quite coastal and not quite inland is pretty accurate...lol. Depending on which way the wind blows we can get a thick marine layer, we get a lot of fairly mild days, but in the summer we can get some scorching 100 degree days. It's those hot days that are problematic, we'd like to...

Perfect.....thanks for the quick responses! When I questioned the sizing the sales guy said he was so certain of the 24,000 unit that he would give it to us for the price of the lower BTU unit. Sales pitch? Probably, but I just wanted to make sure he wasn't waaaaay oversizing it to the point it...

We live in Southern California, not quite coastal, but not quite inland so we get a few hot spells here and there. We are in a time crunch with other contractors and are having issues getting quotes for a mini-split system. The one and only quote we have is for a PLA-A24BA4 (24,000 BTU) and I...

Thanks for clearing things up in a hurry for me...we're signing the contractors today so we have from now until when they start to make any changes to support an AC system. The good news.....the only engine in the garage is my VW diesel and I usually roll in, shut off, and close the garage door...

This is my first post, so I apologize in advance since I know the questions I'm going to ask are already somewhere in another post....but since we're pulling the trigger on a huge garage project on Wednesday, time is lacking to do the research on the AC. Here's the situation on a 3 car garage in...
