I've been reading about mini-splits and watching YouTube, there is a lot of info. out there. What I'm getting is... Mini-splits are a different animal compared to what installers worked on 20-30 years ago. They are less forgiving of poor installation practices that worked okay in the past. One guy on the HVACtalk forum, said residential work doesn't pay enough for us to do good work. My feeling is that someone that knows what they are doing can do correct work without too much more time/materials being used. For me, I'm willing to pay the additional amount but many probably go for the lowest bid. The issue is you don't know all this until you have selected your contractor and watched what they do.
