Temperature of mini split
I was checking the heat that comes out of my Fujitsu mini split with an IR gun. To my surprise it only measured 78*-79*. I thought it would be hotter. I tried a few time with the same results. It was about 20* outside. It keeps the house nice and warm. Any one else measure the temp from their mini split?

I rechecked the temp of the mini again. This time I shot the IR gun up inside instead of from 5 feet away. The temp was 95*-100*. 30* outside. I wonder if that's the right temp. It keeps the house plenty warm but takes a little while to heat up when turned up.

Then it's probably "right sized" when you're used to "oversized" units.

I was shooting the IR into the mini split maybe 3 foot away. If you have a inverter model it will ramp up and down based on what it needs to do.

I bought that el cheapo 17 seer kozy kool i had seen. I figure if i get 2 or 3 years out of it it i will be happy and it will have paid for itself. But if it last longer thats perfectly fine with me .Plan on later on buying a quad zone for the whole house once the money tree gets big.
