I had one installed in my garage and priced out many but went with Munns as they did our home AC. Great job, runs and looks great!

Kalos did mine as well, 24,000 BTU split price was less than $4,700 (2021) .Cheapest around. At that time Munns was $5,500. Sun Kool was $6,000.

Did a great job

Default Split Lanai A/C

Used Kalos two years ago for our lanai, very satisfied & best price at the time. Put a ceiling mount in, a few dollars more but looks/works great.

Sun kool installed mine and was almost $1000 cheaper than others mentioned here. I also put the nicer unit in which goes in the ceiling so you don’t see that huge box on the wall, all you see is a grate in the ceiling. Also, you can get these so they aren’t recorded on you property taxes.

If you do get a mini split system, get rid of that junk remote that controls it. Get a smart thermostat for $100 that comes with a 5” screen and you can program cool/heat cycles, schedules, humidity cycles, etc. Acts just like your ecobee or nest. You can also control it from your phone/tablet.

We use Munn's for installation of our mini-split and maintenance of both systems. They are honest and trustworthy.

Went with Kalos because they gave me the best price for a ceiling mount Mitsubishi. Love it. Their people were terrific.

We had our Mitsubishi Mini-Split installed by Kalos earlier this year. We were satisfied with the work. Would also consider M&S. Kalos was a little cheaper. We had a ceiling cassette installed instead of the traditional wall mounted unit. Highly recommend the ceiling cassette, it blends into the ceiling and most people don't even know it is there. Would also recommend looking into Sensibo. It is a small app driven device which allows you to control the unit remotely and via Alexa. It can be self-installed anytime after the unit is installed. Lastly, we purchased our mini-split as we were enclosing our Lanai. Have only used it several times since the beginning of the year. Not sure how necessary it is, but the worst of summer heat isn't here yet.
