<p dir="ltr">I have the next size up Mitsubishi unit, which is a 12k BTU unit, and am very happy with it. Just replace the "09" with "12" in the model numbers and you will have my unit. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As your son-in-law probably learned, the smaller units have greater efficiency ratings over the larger multi-head systems. I like your idea of having two smaller maximally-efficient units. It's just not quite as cost effective. </p>
<p dir="ltr">In my area, the vast majority of units sold are the Mitsubishi, so I went with their product for ease of repair and service. The Fujitsu are also supposed to be great products, but just not as common where I am, which is in central Oregon. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Good luck. I'm guessing that you will be very happy with a ductless system. We sure are. </p>

ductless heat pumps and is looking at these 4 systems. Any
feedback or suggestions? His notes at the end.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We plan on getting two of these to use in
the 800 sq main area of the house and purchasing additional
units when we expand into the up and downstairs addition.
We’ve talked about getting a multi-room system but they seem
to be a lot more expensive and have more power than we need
for the space we have to fill. I found these on <a href="http://goductless.com" target="_blank">goductless.com</a><u></u><u></u></p>
