The Mitsubishi 24k mini split can get the interior to meat locker quickly . I have never timed it but my guess is less than an hour after turn on . Likewise in heat mode it heats quickly . Just a single head unit .
Past experience with a 3 bay garage in my previous house again with a 24k Mitsubishi was similar . I guess in both cases my installer did a great job . When installed properly the performance is excellent in my opinion .

Good data point. Thanks. Your MC is very similar size to our family room. We have a vaulted ceiling with good insulation. However, we have two large windows that get sun until about 2PM or so and part of the room is open to the kitchen.
The contractor is being a bit quiet right now. At some point I might need an independent evaluation and see if the system is capable or has an issue.
If you have a way to measure air temperature and don't mind checking - maybe you can measure the coil input and exhaust temps for me to compare. I've seen a few measurements in the high 40sF but those don't last long. Probably will require a ladder to get to the top of the coil. The controls work by looking at the set point and air temp. going in the coil. That's what "people" are saying.
Thanks in any case.
