Mini split
Does anyone have a Mr. Cool minisplit installed on their lanai? Do you like it or are you disappointed? Thank you for comments.

I hope this is helpful.
I was deployed to Afghanistan where tens of thousands of mini splits are used to cool everything from housing 'units' to medium offices. They were used since no ducting was required. This is a horrible environment for mini splits. The dust and mud never ends. Contracting purchased mini splits based on specs, warranty, and cost. So many BTUs, one year warranty, at the lowest cost. The ones that met these requirements were Chinese with bushings (some plastic) at the friction points whereas the old stock Mitsubishi units with bearings ran for years. The Chinese models ran about 2 years. You couldn't tell the difference by looking at them. Mr. Cool is a DIY brand. I considered it. I could of save 2K by DIY. I am frugal but not foolish. My two ton Mitsubishi will be installed tommorow by Munn's. They were Cheaper by 200.00. 4.5K all in. |

I installed one in my lanai a couple years ago and have had no problems with it. If you decide to install it yourself, there are a few Youtube videos you can watch if you have any questions on how to do it. |

Hoping that opening the doors and using a fan will cool it off. If not mini split here we come. |

We have a 15 x 30 north of west facing lanai enclosed with double pane argon filled panels and we use a portable floor air conditioner. It does very well 95 percent of the time but there are those few days a year when extremely hot and the sun is low in the sky that it just won't cool it off enough. I bought it at Sam's and there was one a bit larger that I now wish I would have chose. we do not open our sliders into the house to help cool it, only the AC. Inexpensive and does a good job.

looks like hotel
no problem .. to each their own. Must be you dont have any of those ugly AC grates and supplies in your ceilings in your living room and bedrooms either .. Those and recessed can lights must really upset you .. Heaven forbid a solar tube.
Keep that enclosed lanai toasty during the summer ! |
