We have a 36000 Mini Split Mitsubishi....love it. Does all it is advertised to do. However, we, like the previous writer, play the cost game in the winter. With the cost of oil so low and the NHEC cost of electricity raised in the winter by high amounts, we have elected to stop using the Mitsubishi now for the second winter and relied instead on our hydronic oil heat system. Saved a ton of money. The first year we had the system, we ran it all winter. No issues and with the oil cost high, we actually saved some money, but not as much as they advertise. These units are great, but if you have two options...oil and Mini split, you have the best of both worlds and can really play the commodity cost game. We originally did the mini splits for air conditioning and the heat pump for winter was a lucky strike bonus. Remember, these units do consume a lot of electricity in the winter....that is why NHEC gives rebates.....they want you to buy the units to increase their electric sales overall. All in all, mini splits are great, but make sure you are aware of the cost differences.
