Thanks for the feedback. I have 240VAC EU appliances in my home that are single phase, so familiar with the integration issues of that type. It sounds from your discussion that split phase ATs are a reasonable solution if sufficient power rating is available. The mini splits are US versions so...

Hi, That is a a great piece of info regarding single phase units. I will look closer for that. The ones I have seen (H&C and others) state split phase. Glad to have options and will post the final configuration when I get there.

The problem with ducting is where to run the ducts. Ceiling is only 88", roof is 2x6 construction so can't bury them there. Roof top is all usable area so maybe I could build and enclose runs there. Underneath is all pontoons and steel and only 18" above the water so it would have to be...

The only time I would use shore power is when the houseboat is out of the water to do maintenance, which is every 8-10 years. There I only get 120VAC and would wire it in appropriately. I expect to be out for maintenance this fall/winter which is when this work would get done. So with the...

Thanks, I will look for other threads to get more information on ATs. The dual mode of 120VAC primary for most electrical (microwave, toaster, coffee maker, refrigerator loads on that side and 240VAC split phase for the mini-split is the issue I'm wrestling with. SO far these discussion have...

Hi, The Xantrex are, but for the same price as a second Xantrex unit Hi, The issue is I want a 3 zone system, which even for a 6KBTU unit per room, is 240VAC for a 1.5T system. It's small, 340 sq ft interior space, but it has 3 separate rooms to cool, 2 bedrooms and the living area. There is...

Hi, newbie to this group so please be patient if this topic has been covered in other threads. As the title infers, I have a houseboat that is an off grid system. 1000W 24v solar, BlueSky 50A charger, Xantrex 3000W inverter/charger, 5x150Ahr LiFeP04 batteries, Honda EU3000is generator. Our...

As stated before 1.5T, 3 zone solution. It's only 340 sqft total, but 3 separate rooms on a houseboat with no option for a single vent solution. Thinking harder about a mini split ducted system solution.
