Best Ductless Mini Split Brand! - How to narrow down.

In this video, Joshua Griffin goes through how there are so many different ductless mini-split brands, the differences between them, and how one seems to stand above the rest. He goes through how he narrows down each brand from the list, removing them when they don't meet certain expectations. After, removing all of these less adequate brands, you'll see how Josh narrows it down to Daikin.

I recent installed four mini split units in our vacation rental home.
I received three quotes from AC contractors.
Unfortunately they were way over our budget.
I am handy, being in the building trade for decades.
The installation was quite easy. I hired our electrical contractor to do that part.
I think I know more about my units now to handle the cleaning and any minor service.
DIY is not for most people but for the handyman, it is easy.

These are growing in popularity in my area. Especially for additions, lake houses, mother-in-law suites, bonus rooms above garages 🛠️

Most mini splits are being marketed as easy DIY projects for anyone that can climb a ladder a few steps and properly turn a screwdriver handle. At the typical price point, you could buy, install, use, wear out and then throw out, 5 of these units in the next 10 years, more affordably than you could involve even the cheapest chain smoking, yelling, arrogant, always late, excuse making, overcharging, neighborhood littering, dirt tracking, "licensed contractor".

I watched this to find out if there was a better unit, but I already have a Daiken and I'm very happy with it. I did the complete install myself, just had to buy about $200 worth of tools. That's OK because I was quoted $400 just to do the lineset and vac down. I'm planning to do at least two more installs so the tool cost doesn't mean much. Cheers

Why make it so difficult in choosing a minisplit system. All that is needed is looking at what has been working best in all other countries. The United States is soo far behind using mini split systems. Years behind.

Mitsubishi with hyper heat is still king for cold climate heat pumps at least here in Ohio. Daikin seems promising but very few contractors sell them around me.

Parts can be difficult on any brand. ( Yes on the minor line.) I think the refrigerant change is good.

I got a senville doual zone and have been 3 years since i, but it. It hasn't failed me.

Hey Josh…just subscribed and enjoying your content. I’m in the process of designing a custom fifth wheel and many of their units they have been installing mini splits either from LG or Gree. Have you had any experience with servicing a mini split in an RV? I’m very intrigued with the thought of this as an option. Many thanks Carl

Hi Josh. I am a fan and I need assistance! do you do video consultations (I live in nyc)? I have a Mitsubishi #MUZJP12 that was installed two years ago and that I have been struggling with ever since. The problem is excessive condensation on the vanes. The unit has been rolocated, I have tried various configurations of dehumidifiers and fans and even relocated the unit which is supposed to cool an approximately 650 sq foot area. There are many details and variables that I will not list here. I'm desperate! Would greatly appreciate an opportunity to consult or any suggestions you may have. Thank you so much!!

What do you think of the Goodman E series splits. They are built and owned now by Dakin.

Our local company is installing Carrier and I am really happy about that. This is a major brand, easy for the local company to to get service parts if needed. We got a full 10 year hardware warranty.

My understanding is R32 coolant is flammable since it is propane and a few cases have already reared their ugly head in explosions.

Thanks. I was literally shopping today!

Have you heard of the aciq? It's a midea mini split

[paulductless]

Mitsubishi has a few things- One way ceiling cassette, plug and play wireless thermostat add in to any unit, and best efficiency in the small 1-1 units. Daikin’s quality is just as good, but product selection, and applications are limited.

what do you think of Mr Cool diy mini split

[DaKidDizzy]

Hello I’m in NYC and I’m ready for a mini split Unit. I called local contractor and he said he only works with & recommends TOSOT Exclusively with a 10-Year Warranty and an Installation price Starting at $1, 500 Per Unit (Labor Included). I think i need a minimum of 5 Air Handlers. Is this a good brand and is that a reasonable price? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
