I will get quotes, but some idea of what to expect would give me a frame of reference. Again, I understand if some would prefer not to provide that info. No problem. Thanks.
I’ve had two installed by Sunkool for about $5K in garage and lanai. In retrospect the unit in the lanai isn’t really needed. Opening the sliding doors to the living room cools it sufficiently. Try it before install. Do have insulation blown in above the lanai (and garage) at a minimum. Keeps the ceiling from cracking and insulates the room.
The unit with a heat pump (only a few hundred dollars more) has a four speed fan, whereas the one without has a three speed fan. This was the case when we bought ours. Mine are installed on the wall without any issues.
Maybe TMI, hope it helps.
