Chuck Farrell does not install mini splits anymore.

This was discussed on a thread in June, and Chuck Farrell is now recommending Kalos for install of a mini-split. My neighbor just had one installed in his 8 X 14 lanai by Munns for $3700.
Here is the June thread Lowes TRANE/Mitsubishi mini split - do you have one? Here is a 2018 thread Hvac for lanai |

My lanai is enclosed and I installed the split unit myself. It is also a heat-pump and is warming the area well on these cold nights. It is a sealed unit and very easy to install. The only difficult part IF you are not electrical literate is to provide an outside power source. I installed a 110vac unit instead of a 220vac unit so it was pretty easy. Mine has enough power to cool the living room and had to when my central unit was down before I replaced it during one hot summer. There are a couple brands that come sealed so that you don't have to use an A/C guy. One is made by "Mr.Cool." I saved a couple grand doing it myself, but you have to be handy. Relatives spent 3-4K for installation.

Was thinking about that myself a couple of months back but read that it was a bad idea because the unit would just work too hard and not be a help because of the amount of heat entering through the garage doors.

A mini split is a small heat pump unit used to heat and cool a single room, like a lanai. Typically, you attach a linear unit on the wall in the lanai, usually above the sliding glass doors between the living room and the lanai. Then you run refrigerant piping from the unit to an outside condensing unit. That is why it is called a split system instead of a self contained unit. The heated or cooled air is discharged directly from the wall mounted unit into the lanai with no ductwork required.

I self-installed radiant barrier insulation on my doors. The unit WILL be a help.

Which insulation did you use? My garage faces West, so I need a high R value. Don't mind doing it myself.
