It gets sub zero in Michigan. i am trying to go totally sealed room to have total control over the enviroment. But its getting complicated and almost seems like a waste of resources. Excel Air says with there low ambient kit there system will cool in -20 degree weather. Im trying to find other less costly options. I know one option would be non sealed room in the winter and sealed in the summer. But if there was a way to keep it sealed year round, that would be my first choice.It'll cool some but not full capacity. How cold do u get?
3 ton single put better air out the fans on the dubbles are week.Hey john, what mini splits would you recommend for a 20x12 room(sealed) with 10 gavita 750s? 2 3 ton singles(36000btus) or 2 3 ton double(18000btus) units, I'd like to run the singles to save a little money. Or do you think I can use 2 tons instead if 3? Norcal area

Hey john I wish I came across this thread b4 I installed unit. Question, I have a 3 ton Fujitsu dual 18 heads. Running 12 600's uncooked in a 28 bye 13 8 foot ceilings. I've notice when running both heads in same room they are less efficient , almost like running 1 18k is cooling better than both. What would you recommend I do . But a single 3 ton head for that room . I'm try to tweak it
first I had a electrian cross wires from head to condenser , then had a freon leak behind 1 head . Seamed to all b working well after but noticed it doesn't seem to come out both heads ice cold it's either 1 or other . Why I think I runs better with 1 head but then I would only get 18k cool correct? Forgot to add I have a 12k window unit in wall with boxed rear vent into chimney .A 36 unit will only output 33 or so. You probably need a little more a/c. Or something is wrong with your unit.

Do the Mr. Slims also dehumidify? I would really not have to get a dehumidifier if avoidable.
Also, can the units be programmed for different temp settings at different times of the day? For example, 80degrees during the day and 70 during the evening?
Yes, but not a lot....guess it depends on the size space you're working w/.
Yes. Very programmable.
They are top dog units. Always think big when you're buying gear. You won't regret it down the line..
Between me and some friends we have about 30 Daikins going and had none fail that was replaced under warranty. I started with the daikin a few years ago and they have performed great for me. You do need a different thermostat for programming but it doesnt cost that much. Will the slims switch between cooling and dehumidify on ther own? Example, lights are on ac kicking keeping room cool and dehumidified, lights go off room no longer needs cooling will the slims switch over to dehumidify on there own and pull moisture without cooling the room/ The daikin will not as far as I know and they pull a ton of moisture out when the lights are on but sit idle during dark period.
I get the 24k single head from a friend for 1700 bucks . They are the low seer cheap model but they work great. Just put in a ultra low ambient, high seer 36k single head in for my dad and that unit was about 4100 bucks. I have been using the quest 205's for dehumidifiers but I don't see why the mini splits can't change from ac mode to dehuey automatically, they have both capabilities but will not switch modes by itself.
I dont think minis are made specifically to dehumidfy its just a side effect of the process that when it runs it does.At least your running a really efficient dehuey,less amps to run it then to run ac during lights out but i hear you on having to buy another expensive piece of equipment.
