I bought the
Gree 9,000 BTU 27 SEER Terra Ductless Heat Pump Air Conditioner System
Terra Series - Ductless Wall Mount Heating and Cooling | Gree Comfort

from acwholesalers.com
https://www.acwholesalers.com/Gree/G...inCat=&subCat=
we got lucky with a good coupon and got it for $815 shipped add in line set, vinyl line set cover, wall sleeve and drain line. $988.81 shipped.
This is for my master bedroom it is south facing and has never stayed the same temp as the rest of the house. I also work from home and my office is setup in there. It is 250 sqft with a master bath 228 sqft.
It needs to be temperature controlled 24 x 7.

The second unit that I haven’t ordered yet is much harder to pick out. It is about 675 sqft but we still have natural gas heat and a 4 ton AC. My wife works in this area during the day I want the mini split to do most of the heating and cooling at night the other systems will assist in heat and cooling kid’s rooms/house.

I am looking at

LG LS120HYV 12,000 BTU 26 SEER.

Fujitsu AOU12RLS2 12,000 BTU 25 SEER
https://www.acwholesalers.com/Fujits...32:22.00-28.00

If you look at them on the energy sate it is a wash (I attached a screen shot)
ENERGY STAR Most Efficient 2011 — Central Air Conditioners and Air Source Heat Pumps : ENERGY STAR
The LG if a couple hundred cheaper and does not put out as much heat at low temps. The Fujitsu has a better reviews cools a little better and puts out more heat.
This area could use a little bigger unit but I want it to be very efficient and my other systems will help out when it is very hot or very cold.

I am making additional solar power and I want to use some of the power to heat with.
