If you want super efficiency heating and cooling (and don't live too far north), use Inverter type Mini-split systems..
When we put #1 in, my wife had a LOT of reservations about how it would look.

I live in AZ so I'm hoping the COOLING capacity will be enough. I was thinking of adding a mini split (#1) to the master bedroom to steady the temperatures. Right now the main A/C kicks on & off often enough to be bothersome. I plan to use an inverter mini split (I thought all mini splits were inverter type mini splits) to lower the cost of cooling the room. I might have to put it in and see if she notices...
The Islanding inverter will work, the issue is making the micro inverters work with it. I think I'm on the right track with using the SSRs and and Arduino controller. But I have not worked with an Arduino before, so there is the learning curve to climb. But I have to admit the DIY aspect is very enticing.
After #1 mini split is running comes #2...
