Purchasing/installing mini-split ductless AC units in my house
July 14, 2008 9:11 AM Subscribe
The previous question about mini-splits (one type of "ductless" AC) on askMe dealt only with complications of apartment dwellers.
So, as a more general question, does anyone have advice on picking a good mini-split unit, and a reliable installer?
I know that Mitsubishi is a big player for this type of item, but are they still as evil (environmentally) as they were last time I checked, in the '80's?
Response by poster: Thanks, paulsc.
Just as a clarification, I was referring to Mitsubishi as "evil (environmentally)," not to the type of AC units that they sell.

I've used a Sanyo branded unit in my server closet for years. Works good, and it's very quiet.

As for brand and installer recommendations, that depends on the specifics of where you live. Mitsubishi and Panasonic have both been leaders in mini-split units for years, and in NYC, if that is where you are, you should be able to find resellers/installers galore, by checking the Yellow Pages.
