Mitsubishi Electric MUZ-FH15NA
I was concerned that a mini-split would overheat the loft in my home while not providing much improvement in distribution to the back of the house but I made the purchase out of a desire to go all electric. My concerns were fairly proven. If I do ever make the loft into a bedroom it will be over heated to a point that will cause a problem if I want to keep the main living space warm.
In the end it is all ok, but not great. Both units make more noise than I hoped. The inside unit makes much more noise during what I think is its \defrost\ cycle. The sound is like being inside a car going through an auto car wash. Genuinely disruptive to hanging out in my living room if I have guests when it happens. The low-end hum from the outdoor unit will have to be addressed at some point but the amount of money that VEC wants to re-mount the unit onto a pedestal is more than I want to spend right now. I also assume this can't be addressed until spring.
I acknowledge that these are somewhat specific to my small/lofted home rather than poor performance of the unit.
I am open to input on the noise from the inside unit if anyone thinks it could be improved upon.
