Have you heard of a unit powerful enough that runs on 110-120v 115a which can cool, heat , dehumidify and withstand -30 to -40 winds for 4-5 months of the year?
mini split or window/wall ac need help

I think the lowest ambient I've seen was a Mitsubishi minisplit that went to like +9f. Most bottom out at +17f.

:O can you snag a pic/make a shitty diagram of the exhaust system? If we go the route of ductless, I think I want to do this to heat my condensers.

I agree, cant go wrong. I have ideal air 36,000 btu. And works great. best of all no HVAC installer.

I run 3 mini splits. a 18k, 24k, and a 36k in different locations. I love them. They are tiny and nearly silent. You can put them right by the existing ac condenser and if anyone asks say you use it to cool just your bedroom rather than the whole house to save money. If security is a concern get the systems with Quick Connects. no HVAC pro needed. try http://www.aurasystemsonline.com/ or Mitsubishi

ya mini split is the way to go..ya it will have to be outside unless you do it in your garage..build a room in there and keep it on the outside of the room in the garage...if not try putting it somewhere in the backyard where its not visible, unless the rooms on the other side of the house...it is easy to install after you've seen it done..if you don't know shit about electricity I wouldn't try it ..but ya ur just connecting one from ur braker to the wall mounted part..then from the wal mounted to the unit outside..its not hard..but like I said If uve never worked with electricity or seen it done I wouldn't try it
^^That looks like a good setup I'm gonna save something like that for my next place I'm just finishing the outside of this one to sell and on to the next . but same problem I'll have to run the thing inside somehow. I suppose I would have it in the garage exhaust the heat in the summer heated garage in the winter. In the meantime I bought a 12000btu window ac and its cooling my room way better then I could have hopped and takes up no floor space . temps are steady at 74 but its loud and gives off a lot of heat but It will do for the next 2 months then its mini split ac

they require alot of ventilation i wanted to put a board on top to make it look like a table, HVAC guy said under no circumstance am i to put any thing over them it would mess with the air flow and if you look all mine are facing out so when my lights dump the air out to the middle of the units and then they push the air to the sides.
A dog house works leave the back off cut off etc with front normal opening for air to flow thrpugh put back of dog house and ac unit about a foot or a lil more from house and it will be just fine. Fan side at doggie door other side to the open. Has worked for me for years
Lol heat like yall have you need all that I am sure I need bigger alot bigger but I am working w what I got. I live in south Carolina
