Does the EG4 mini-split make sense for me or is there anything else I should consider? I am looking at the 9000 BTU, SEER 29.5, AC only, plug-N-cool version from signature solar for $1249. Is there anything else I should consider?
I have a 2400 sq. ft. 2-story house with a 24-year old 4-ton AC that is only SEER 10. I am going to install the mini split in a 200 sq.ft. upstairs bedroom that is going to be used as a nursery. I have 3 goals for the mini split:
I have a cement pad to install the outside unit on, however it's approximately 17’ below where the indoor unit is. Will the 16.4’ lines make it or do I need to wall mount. I can't find the inside until line length in the manual.
Here is some more info:

- Better temperature control for the nursery
- Reduced load on the center AC and therefore saving energy and money
- Second source of cooling if the center AC dies during the summer when it can be as hot as 108F

Here is some more info:
- Live in Southern California
- $0.24/kWh electricity
- Small 2.7 KW grid tie system and I use more than I make
- Very stable grid connection
- Central AC on average runs for 489 hr per year.
- Plan self install
- Prefer system with pre charged lines as I don't own a vacuum pump or other HVAC tools
