They were very reasonable and professional. Recommended.

I installed a second Mr Slim back home. I would recommend the model as well. We did the heat and cool versions. The one at the lake is good to about 40 degrees outside in heat mode. The newer one at home is good to about 20 degrees outside in heat mode. The newer one has a very good seer rating. I heat / cool my entire house with the wall unit (with my forced hot air system fan running) when the outside temp is above about 30F. Below that I turn on the oil heat.

As an aside here, I have often considered a real island property as a way to break away from the family's retreat. These are of course the complication that always worry me. In the event I have a problem I can't handle getting people out to the island to do the work. Are most contractor's in the area fairly well used to dealing with islanders as long as you provide them with a boat ride?
