Is there significant quality differences between DIY mini splits (Mr. Cool, Pioneer) and non-DIY mini splits (Mitsubishi, Daikin)?
I’m going to replace 4 window and portable AC units with something more permanent, because 2 are under-powered and only one provides heat. Thinking of installing 4 single-zone systems because only 1-2 would need to be on at the same time, and it would simplify installation a bit.
I will be diy-ing regardless, so I would prefer not needing to buy extra tools and refrigerant from shady suppliers. But, if non-DIY systems are significantly better, that’s a trade-off I’m willing to make.
I went with a Daikin and it’s much quieter than a friend’s Mr Cool.
Daikin is great, Mitsubishi has gotten so expensive recently and it seems Daikin is as good quality.
