Two weekends back I installed a Bosch 5000 mini split system in out master bedroom because we have a 2 level house, and we keep the bedroom door closed all night to prevent the 2 cats from driving us nuts all night long, while the 2 dogs sleep in the room, adding their body heat to the room all night long.
It just gets unbearably hot in the master bedroom when the whole house a/c system isn't running full tilt all night long, making the main level of the house a meat locker.
It's amazing how much quieter the mini split system is in comparison to the whole house unit, or a traditional window unit.
Just whisper quiet, both the indoor air handler, and the outside condenser unit.
Wish I had done it years ago.
Also, I made sure the Bosch unit was a 25 SEER inverter unit, to try and save as much future electricity as humanly possible.
No point spending all that money, buying all the tools that I needed to do the job, and then cheap out on the unit itself.
Being 20 feet up in the air on a ladder, pulling lineset through a 2.5 inch hole in the wall, and installing lineset covers makes you rethink your life choices, however.
