Best cheapeast mini splits??

[MtnLivin]

Yes that's right, the BEST and CHEAPEST mini splits. I know what all the best units are and that's obviously what I should be buying. But unfortunately some funds for this project had to be dispersed in a differerent direction and I had no control over it. So here I am, I am in need 9 two ton units and as cheap as possible. I can install and have my buddy come in and vacuum the lines. So install isn't an issue. These can be replaced in a few months if need be. I just need something to get me by for now.

Does anyone have experience with the coolmart units? I can get them for $950 a piece out the door...

"Best" and "cheap" are two words that rarely go in the same sentence.

If I was going to install 9 units I'd want 9 decent units not 9 headache units... but I guess after installing a few you'll have it perfected

Ain't that the truth!

I've been looking at the one 9k units on ebay for $500.... at that price, if you're growing and moving that much herbage, they're almost disposable.

Check acwholesalers website. Found 5 ton Goodman split system for 3600. Run half your rooms on opposite time will cut back your needs, also doing a humidity dump with fans for an hour at lights off will help with humidity. If it were me i would run everything at night and cool with outside air before i got a bunch of shitty gear, but im up north and maybe thats not possible for you. There's a guy on the boards here his name is Quegqueg or something like that, very smart helpful guy and knows his hvac shit

LOL, Oh I WISH, there's only maybe a month at best to use outside air that's cool enough

I can only imagine how much that costs.

The only thing cheap in these rooms will be these temperorary mini splits. I have Quest Dual 215's in every room to control humidity. I found a local place that has Mideas at a decent price. Anyone use the Midea units?

Mr Cool DIY Mini Split.

Cheap, reliable, great reviews, and very easy installation.

I installed one this summer, one of the hottest I can remember. Kept things nice and chilly.

I keep hearing about this and it's all positive feedback. They have the best warranty on any of the lower priced units I've seen!

 

[Mr. Miyagi]

hmmm...2x the price of the ebay units...but may be worth it... when it's time for the mini split, I may have to check these guys out!

i get mine in MEX for super cheap. like DIRT CHEAP lol. i think i paid 325 ish for my 18k. the same unit and same brand goes for 1000 or more online. i can also get small ones that plug into 110v outlets as well.

this probably doesnt help you at all, and probably leads to more frustration lol
