Thanks for your thoughts. She is in northern AZ. Snow. Cold. I'm more concerned about keeping her house warm than cool!

Thanks. With one 24K for the kitchen and four 12K for the other rooms, she'd have 72K BTU total. And with self install, we are still only at $7600.

Wow, how scary!!! And if it had been hot out, the whole neighborhood would have been sitting in your house! Glad everyone was safe.

Sharing the budget with insulation and heating....can you explain this? She doesn't have an attic so can't add insulation. But in reference to heating..? Thx

I guess I wasn't clear...trying to make sure mini splits provide adequate heat and not just A/C.

We are currently in Dewey AZ, with our 5th wheel parked at my 97 yo MILs house on 4 acres, helping take care of her. Just found that the ducts under her manufactured home have been destroyed by rats and there goes all the air. Quotes to replace them are over $7K! She has an AC unit and propane...

I have been studying this brand. They have just come out with a self install unit, not yet shipping. It gets down in the teens where we are. How does it perform as a heater? Not sure I like no timer, sleep or scheduling. Can they be controlled via app if away from home? Thx

Interesting thread. I'm researching adding EG4s to moms house but now I want a mini split for my 5th wheel. These A/C units (Coleman) are terrible and noisy. And energy hogs! We full time boondock with 1500W and 420AH lithium batteries. All my components are Victron. Hoping to figure out how to...

I am trying to read all I can on these to make sure they are the right ones for moms house!

Thanks for the info. We are also solar boondockers in our 5th wheel. I hate the darn Coleman15K unit. Terribly inefficient and loud. Since staring mini split research for mom, I'm looking to see if I can add a DC minisplit to our rig. But back to mom....I will check her furnace. Good idea!.

Great info. I was also thinking a Senville for the 2 unused bedrooms. Then the EG4 for great room, kitchen, master. All hooked up to the grid for now but eventually to solar panels.
