I have a detailing business and I work out of my garage which is about 450 Sq. ft. Last year the summer was unbearable and this year so far it has not been too cold. I have decided to have a split A/C heat pump installed in the spring. I talked to some friends and a heating contractor about what brand to install. Feedback was not to go with a Mitsubishi as parts were hard to get and Fujitsu was not not very reliable. A customer recommended Panasonic as he has them in his shop. The reviews on Panasonic were excellent and the price was much cheaper than Mitsubushi and a little lower than Fujitsu. Does anyone have any of these units and if so could you please give me your experience with them. Thanks.

 

I can't recommend any brand, but I found lots of information here: https://www.pickhvac.com/ductless/

 

Thanks Gene. This was very helpful and I have a friend who installs Fujitsu. They were highly rated. Came out #2 best just under Samsung.

 

I think there is another thread here on this very same topic with lots of feedback. I took care of a building (it was over 10,000 sq.ft.) and we had 5 heat pumps in it and they were Mitsubishi. The issue I had was that when the temperature fluctuated it wouldn't keep up. What price have you been giving for the pump and labor?

 

$2600 for a Fujitsu. I dont think that includes labor. It only takes about 2 hours to install so labor cost should not be bad, It's going in my garage so all I need is a small hole in the garage wall to hook up to the outside unit. The interior unit just hangs on the inside garage wall. And I get to write it off as a business expenses.
