Mini Split Install: Tips-Tricks-Ideas?
Posted: Thu May 09, 2019 12:55 pm
Hey gang,
It’s starting to warm up here in South Texas. We hit 100 yesterday. As I continue the renovation process on the 34V, installing the new AC system is near the top of the list.
I’m about to upgrade the electrical system to 240V/60amp. Should be pretty straightforward, from what I gather. After that’s done, I’ll be putting in a mini split. I had dreams of building a central duct system, but it has proven to me to be more beneficial to go with a ductless unit.
I searched and researched over 50 different systems, and finally landed on the Gree Sapphire 12kbtu(link below). At $1,600, and with ratings at 30.5 SEER and 14 HSPF, this unit should fair nicely in most climates.
I’m at the point where I need figure out where to place the head unit. I’m aiming towards above the door, but I’m also thinking about redesigning the front upper cabinet(where the control center is located) to accommodate the control center(I love this feature on these Avions) and have wall space for the head unit. The condenser will go on the tongue.
Anyone have experience with a mini split in their Avion that wishes to chime in? I’m all ears.
