HVAC question

[milkman636]

OK, I agree and appreciate all comments. I will just be more diligent by cleaning the inside more often. It doesn't seem as efficient as some say to push towards the house, which is 16"(?) away.

We will be looking to replace these in the coming years and add another(vaulted ceilings, no room for ducts) which units are the best? Fujitsu, Mitsubishi are the ones I see.

Yes, we get both extreme cold and hot, reached 102 in sun last week.

The Mr. Slim by Mitsubishi has a good track record. They are the first ones I remember seeing, and installing back in my past when I used to do that work.

LG also markets these now in the US and offers some pretty good pricing compared the Mistubishi. I am considering installing one myself for an 18x20 family room addition on the back of my house.

I noticed a bunch of Mitsubishi units installed in buildings at one of the NC beaches when we were down east a few months ago. I had never seen these units before but I saw them at the condo we rented as well as some other buildings. Kinda hard to tell the age of the units because they were withing yards of the ocean so they had a good bit of rust. My guess is they had been there for years.
