Purchased from Amazon March 30, 2022 for $1,802.22 currently, April 10, 2023, $2,492.00 I rigged it so I can easily power it from a generator. I was concerned for an extended power outage at the height of summer.

This was fairly manageable install except the room unit that was placed on a wall that was too deep for the wall unit hoses...

Questions

• R22 recharge? Probably so expensive that a recharge would be expen$ive.
• Replace current Trane XE 1000 with a newer unit, or add additional mini split(s)
  • retro fit new technology compressor and ?whatever? upgrading the Trane XE 1000?
  • Multi zone control with new heat pump and top unit?
    • Size? How to get it into the garage attic?
• If I decide on a mini split should the existing ducting be capped off?
  • At the attic unit? Or at each room vent?
• Can the current mini split have two small wall units added for the other two bedrooms on that hall?
• Put a Mini Split on the slab where XE 1000 is. Add a couple splits in kitchen / dining room and another in the living room.
  • Special bonus if I could have another zone in the garage. !!!! :-)
