At the moment . I dont plan on fooling with a window unit . I plan on just using the mini split with a radiator to be basically like geothermal . Im hopeing one day theyll someone will come up with a geothermal ductless unit with inverter . For now i am thinkin i can benifit a good bit just with a radiator on the outside of the mini split . Im not sure though.
