Question 1

Hello, does this come with the installation kit? and the remote handheld thermostadt? Also is it pre-charged?

Accepted Answer

Not only does vacuum have to be pulled but it needs to hold that negative pressure for 8-12 hours. I have installed 5 of these units, I purchased a vacuum pump and all gauges. I had a local hvac guy help on the first one and I had learned more (online research) than he knew about these units. First off the local guys do not want to install these especially if they did not sell it to you. When they are installed properly they are really amazing and cost very little to use.

Question 2

Could average Joe Homeowner hook this up ?

Accepted Answer

Intalled the 12,000 BTW (120vac) unit myself.  Eazy Peazy -  Installed an outdoor 120vac outlet,  used a 10guage 120vac cord on the outdoor unit.  Rented a vaccum pump for pennies.  Installation was flawless.    I'll be installing more of these soon.   Don't let anyone tell you this can't be DIY.   Plenty of installation videos for Mini Split HVAC systems on Utube University - Watched a couple,  and it made the actual install much faster with no problems.

Question 3

Can I connect a thermostat to this unit instead of the remote?

Accepted Answer

So if you lose the remote you can still adjust the unit. Somepeople like the thermostat on the wall.

Question 4

Is this 24000BTU model able to cool 2beds room condo, total 1200sqf? thinking to install it in the main living room.

Accepted Answer

So it really depends on your configuration of your condo. Listen 24,000 btus is allot of cooling power. You could always use a cheap $10 wallmart floor fan to push cool air to the back bedrooms....i did just that on another installation of this same unit in a separate house. The recirc system was just for a professional looking install but you can do the same thing with a cheap $10 wallmart fan.  I really like these units as they are so efficient and quiet. The air recirc system i designed has nothing to do with this unit as its not wired into it or connected to it at all. All my recirc unit does is a fan register sucking cold air near where the inside blower is installed and it blows the cooled air thorugh  the instulated duct  crawl space in the roof and blows it back between the bedrooms as the cool air would have to travel from one wall the full length of the living room then hang a right turn  in a hllway then another sharp right turn into another hallway  then into the most distant bedroom......so thats allot to ask of one ca blower blowing cool air essentially in a U turn . But my recirc system solved that problem handily. by first blowing cooled air inbetween the 2 bedrooms then the air slowly moves the warmed  air back into the living room to be cooled by this single unit blower and recirculated again.

I wasnt too impressed with the heating capacity of this in the winter as a heat pump as with most heat pumps your essentially air conditioning the outside when its snowing out so there isnt much heat out there then your pulling whatever heat from outside back inside to warm you up so the colder it is outside the more this unit has to work to pump heat inside.......but with that said it works great when the temps outside are like in the 50's and 60's and you just want to take the chill off the air in the mornings.  If its in the single digits or low teens outside.....your going to need a jacket in your house just saying or another heat source. No heat pump out there will keep you warm under those conditions
