Mini-split heat pump

[david h. jarvis]

I have a 18,000 btu Fuji mini split 110v that heats and cools here at my house.
The unit is not so big that it couldn't be installed on the back bumper.
And quiet.

We installed an 18,000 btu unit in a 12x30 trailer in Quartzsite this winter and have left it running to preserve the interior. The July AVERAGE high
is 109 and we leave the stat set at 86. So far the power usage is running about $1 a day. I know, that's not very scientific but we pay about .12 a
kwh for power.
There mini splits sure look good........

These units run relly high head pressures, especially when its hot. I think you'd want to keep all the air flow around the condensor side to keep them
in check. They can spike to near 500 psi I've been told. Still doing research here.
