We would like to add some form of air conditioning to our home and like the idea of a "ductless" system in each area that we want to cool (we have a duct system around the house, but think this would be really inefficient as we really only want to cool a couple of "zones"). We had one company come out for a quote and they were asking $5,000 to install a single Mitsubishi unit, which is a lot more than we were expecting to pay (I know the Mitsubishi units are high quality, but 5K to cool a single room for a few weeks per year is a bit much).

I was wondering if anyone has DIY installed one of the more affordable units themselves (maybe only having a pro come out to purge the lines)? Any recommendations on models? How difficult is it? Can you just tap into an existing 110v-15A power circuit?

Thanks!
