We used Munns for 2 units. They are neat and quick. They come with an electrician to do the wiring. Very happy with their work.

Mini splits are great but the controls are more complex and so sometimes harder to troubleshoot. They usually provide codes when they fail. They are also more compact so can take more labor too.

If you are going to get one, research which brand is the most reliable and then invest in the best warranty you can find.

Here is a link from the most popular website for AC tech chat. Best mini split systems

Used Munn's but with four angles.

First you get 10% for military/first responder/good citizenship. Essentially anyone and everyone gets this.

Second, if you use a referral (a neighbor, me, whoever) they will get 100.00 most will kickback some or all to you.

Third pay by check to save the VISA fee.

Fourth, and this is controversial, your Munn's warranty (5 years?) Is the manufacturers warranty (1 year) and a rider extended warranty of 4 years. I deleted the extended warranty and got 300.00 off. My logic is I will self insure.

Had Munns for few years. M&S in Leesburg out bid them and does great work.
Put our Mitsubishi in the ceiling opposed to on the wall because the ceiling unit has a better condensation pump.
It also looks much nicer in the ceiling.

I agree with KALOS. My original was installed by Munns, when I had a problem the Munns tech had no idea what to do. He “fixed” it. It leaked again. Kalos was recommended diagnosed the issue. The fix was more expensive than a new unit. Unit was warranted, they ordered and installed for minimal charge.

We used SunKool for our Lanai MiniSplit. Got several quotes. The "major" suppliers were all very competitive. SunKool places the evaporator near the house unit (away from the lanai) and extra (blown in) insulation was added to the Lanai ceiling (included). Very pleased.

Munn’s. Very satisfied. Remember, it is a “de-humidifier “, not an air conditioner! (An a/c adds to the livable square footage of your house for tax purposes. Munn’s takes care of that paperwork. )

Kalos did a great job for us two years ago, no issues.
