Hi folks,

I’m in the final stages of building my new ham shack at a remote / tower 
location and need to decide on the heating and air conditioning.  It’s a 10x12 
shack with ~12 feet high ceilings, so it’s a small space, but it can get pretty 
hot up there in summer (sierra foothills of California).  I only have ~30 amps 
total available so will also need something efficient.  

My contractor recommended a Fujitsu Mini-Split:

<https://www.fujitsugeneral.com/us/products/split/wall/12lzas.html>

Has anyone had any experience with these types of units?

It seems to have a variable speed motor with “inverter technology” but the HVAC 
company says it can be placed in a specific mode (low, med, high) rather than 
auto where it will stay fixed.

Appreciate anyone's feedback/experience with this or any alternate units to 
consider.

Thanks,
David K6ZD
