Mini Split or Window Unit

[skinsfan]

Built a 400sqft office into my barn, foam ceiling and blow in walls, looking for AC advice. Mini split guy wants $850 for a one ton 115 unit installed or I could buy a 12,000 btu window unit for $600. I don’t mind spending a little extra if needed but mini split guy has been flaky. Wife hates the look of window unit but I can put it on back side. Suggestions?

Mini split all day every day and twice on Sunday

Mini all the way

Stay away from window units. Mini for sure.

Seems like a mini is probably the way to go!

Pretty big fan of the mini split in my garage that’s all foamed and prb 900 sq ft. Have a Sensibo unit I can control it from my phone and just set it. It’s always cool in there and no humidity.

I had the same dilemma and decided on a window unit. I bought a 10000 btu Midea u-shaped unit and am happy with it so far. But, I’m cooling a 300 sq ft apt and only used it about a week. It gets the place cooooold! Easy DIY install and < $600.

What Artos said X 2.

850 sounds too good to be true for a mini split installed.

Mini but make sure it’s a good brand

Exactly what I was thinking, that’s cheap !

I was gonna pose this same question hoping y'all would agree on the window unit, lol.

I'm going w Boy Wonder !

Waaaay low. The Gree units i have priced are 1700-1900 for just the unit without installation. Planning 2 more smaller ones in the house and will eventually take over for the central.


OP, the mini splits are the way to go. Plus they have a heat pump for winter.
