It probably only took an hour to unpack and swap the other one but it was the longest hour of my life and almost ended our marriage so I figured I'd see if there was an easier solution for this time

My condo association will not allow any improvements. So a number of owners already went ahead and install the system. What is the condo association is going to do? Tell the owners to remove the system? Not going to happen as a dozen of them are already installed.
Same as the HE boilers. They need to be vented sideways out of the side of the unit. Condo association insist they use existing chimney. End result the chimneys 'rotted' out due to condensation etc. Costing the condo association big bucks to repair. In the most recent newsletter, the board decided to allow the new exhaust pipes. A bit late don't you think?
I would just go ahead and install the split. You would be amaze how it 'snowballs'.
Association rules are way behind the times as far as technology in home improvements.
