They show they have them but I would verify with a phone call for sure.  It seems everyone else is showing backorder. 

You're right about the price.  It has doubled.  I knew it wouldn't get better when Thor bought them out.

capacity is dependent on input power/voltage. I think 12k is about the max on 120v.

It mostly depends on the seer rating. At one time we thought a seer over 10 was very good. Now it appears that a few of the mini-split units are advertising a seer of 36. That is 3.6 times as efficient as the old seer 10.

Why does that matter? Simply because if your seer 10 unit at 12K btu draws 15 amps of full current load a 36 seer 15K btu unit would pull 4.2 amps. Meaning at least theoretically that a 15 amp circuit could support a 36K btu unit on 115v. We are not seeing those on the market but that doesn't mean we won't. It just requires a mini-split manufacturer to recognize the market potential and build one. Somebody should suggest it to the Chinese.

Or maybe to the Almish. Ted, how about your buddies up in Napanee? You think they would be interested?

Spend the extra money for the heavy duty version. Thicker tubing and heavier duty components.
