Yeah, shorter is better in most cases. Long Line sets aren't cheap.
And, the smaller units use less power, so some use 120vac.
Makes life a little simpler in some cases.

I hope someone (maybe Sanyo) takes this inverter technology
and builds a window unit AC/HP in the 6,000 to 10,000 BTU range.
(I don't care if it's case is the size of an 18,000 BTU)!

People could forget about storing away their window AC in the fall.
One in a bedroom window, would allow for turning the main house temp
way down on cold winter nights.. Just close the door..

I just did a mod to my little snow roof..

The little siding flap on the house keeps rain water from dripping down behind the unit.. I just tested it.

During rainy days, I don't like the idea of the fan pulling drops of water into the coil and blowing water out the front.
If it's 35 degrees and raining, that could lead to icing pretty quick..

So, what do you guys think of the plastic Latticework? (My wife's idea)..

Ya know, that stuff might keep snow drifts from piling up on the pad..
