This model Sanyo has bad programing (IMHO) and my first unit lost it's R410A.
If you aren't watching them closely, these things will over-load/over-pressure and pop an artery.
Sanyo sent me a new outdoor unit (on warranty) and didn't want the broken one back.
I was able to repair it (no warranty) and ordered a new indoor unit for it.
So, it was a pretty good deal for a second 24k cooling / 36k heating system.
I considered using the 'spare' for hot water too, but now that I've got the
AirTap A7 ASHP hot water heater, I'm glad I didn't mess with a Sanyo.
The AirTap uses very little power and I can get hot water, even when
I don't need cooling or heating running.. (like today).
Since I was burning oil for hotwater before, I might be at breakeven by next fall.
(Depending on fuel oil prices)..
Good Luck with your surgery doctor!
