Thanks Don, yes I’m trying to find one that doesn’t involve this inverter
technology, but it seems all of these mini-splits have moved to this variable
speed type design. If anyone knows or has a suggestion please let me know!
Maybe I need to look at an old fashioned window unit, although I prefer
something more integrated.
I am definitely planning on snooping around with my portable radio! I’m
testing every single piece of equipment that goes in these days :)
