   They are expensive but work fantastically well. Nice looking and super quiet. Pay a few bucks more and get the heat pump model and use it all year.

   Sanyo is one that works well. One of my customers just got a system. One main unit and up to 4 indoor. Not a cheap install but works great!

   They work well but most are intended for a single room, not a whole house. There are multi-zone units that have separate indoor heat exchangers all fed by a single outdoor condenser. Prices for installed systems are crazy high compared to the cost of a window A/C. I saw a 9K BTU window unit at Lowes the other day for $146. The same size ductless will cost $2500 to $3000 with installation.

   Yeah I have heard great things about them. For now the Loews unit sounds best. To much on the install for me. Thanks again

   I guess I need to look at installing myself for it to make sense Thanks to all

     Look on Ebay. You can download the installation manual. Looks like you will need a pro to pull a vaccum on the line. The refrigerant is in the unit and is released after a vaccum is established. They dont have auxillary heat so there is some limit to heating.
