So, got this thing started today. My hvac guy connects the lines with noglock blue that prevents leaks, vacuums the system and does something else for $150. On cool mode, it was pulling 5.3 amps.
It heats well and it cools well. The blower from my high efficiency zero clearance wood burning fireplace makes more noise yet moves a lot less air.
One bummer is there's no indication what the temp is from the air handler. The screen that one would think is where one can control the unit besides the remote has 4 led indicator lights for various functions, but no controls and no lcd screen like any other inside unit would have, indicating the rooms temp. Now I understand what that 3 tap block is in the electrical box that has an x, a y and I think an e, one letter on each of 3 wire taps.
I called senville wondering how I'm supposed to know what the room temp is and whether the air handler knows (interestingly, the 12k in the master try's to show me what the temp is, but it doesn't know either. I set the temp to heat to 77 and in time the lcd reads anywhere from 81 - 83). They told me the only unit with the traditional lcd screen is the smallest at 12k btu. I have the mid sized 18k and then they've got a 24k I think. Some units sold in other countries might have the lcd regardless of size. Anyway, there sending me there wall mount thermostat & 25' of 4 wire cable and instructions to wire it, not to the xye block I mentioned previously but directly to the freakin mother board, for free.
This floor/ceiling mountable unit does move more air (750-1,250 sq ft area) than the traditional wall mountable unit (700-1,100),
