Before you go the split route, have you checked to see if your house unit has the capacity to cool the lanai? Sun Kool tried selling us a split, but I asked about tapping into the duct work from the house. They tried talking me out of it, but eventually admitted it could be done. Split would’ve been $5000+. Tapping in, adding vent in lanai, and insulating above was $850. We enjoy our lanai every day of the year. This was pre-Covid, so I’m sure prices are up, but it’s worth asking the question.
