Cherry pick'n motha.... That's pathetic.I love my Senville Aura 24k. I installed myself and bought a 2 stage pump from harbor freight, a CPS micron gages for vacum, valve core remover, a cheap manifold kit and rented a 40lb nitrogen tank with regulator for about $15. Just followed some videos from AC Service Tech ,followed exactly. No issues, no leaks. Pressure test held at the Senville recommended value of 400psi for MY system for 6 hours, vacuum held at 200 microns for more than 2 hours. Bonus, I have everything I need to put in my Senville Aura 18k floor model on another floor in my cabin after the holidays.The Senville Aura seems to have the very best reviews that I could find at 4.7 stars from 400+ reviews. The Leto is not too far behind at 4.6 stars from 4,800+. The Aura's stats are really impressive to me and they're backing it with a really good warranty. People seem to really like both, not just in reviews on seller's sites like the amazon but guys on other sites forums as well.
On their site under Facts they state that one can DIY but must have the lines vac'd by a licensed tech to retain the warranty.
I think I found my mini-split.
Aura is their ultra-high efficiency 12000 btu unit.

There is a Blue Ridge product that has a perfect rating and it's absolutely credible because it says so, right on the manufacture's website.
A tip for buying Senville products, on Ebay don't pay {Buy Now] price, offer $125. less. Unit is often delivered faster than Amazon, same warranty .I just bought my fifth one yesterday!The Senville Aura seems to have the very best reviews that I could find at 4.7 stars from 400+ reviews.

That is a good tip. I was thinking I'd pick it up through walmart online. They'll take anything back.
Senville would rather send you a new compressor, than have you send it back. My first one came very low on refrigerant and by the time I figured the problem out, it was damaged. They sent a new one, although it took a month to get it.
That's my point. Manufacturers do not want people to return their trash to the store. It's written on most products in the manual. So there you wait a month while they take they're sweet-ass time because QC is lacking.
That's pretty efficient, my Aura 12k uses about .7kw when below 40 degrees outside. of course,
It’s great. Usually 70 for us also but not at the cabin but once a month. Keep it 65ish to keep things warm. I’m shocked at how good this is at low temps and the cooling in the summer is fantastic.
If it is only a 240v circuit, you may have 12/2 with ground rather than 12/3. Run 12/3 with ground if you think anyone will ever split this phase into 120v circuits.
Think there is NEC code which requires a 120v near the AC disconnect for service (old code before battery tools). If you don’t have one may need that. I ignored that code and ran a 30amp (24k btu requirement) double pole breaker in my panel to 10/2 romex to a junction box in my basement where I transitioned to 10awg thhn to the outside disconnect.
What size BTU unit are you looking at ? The 12k only requires a 15amp 2pole breaker, and 14-2 wire with ground. Near the outside unit, a non-fused AC shut off box will do, just ordered one from Amazon, $13.
Got to work on the lingo. I meant to say 2 hots & a ground and thought that's what 12/3 was.
It can be confusing. Because some types of cable include the ground in the name and some don't.
Yes, the 12k. I didn't come across where this is mentioned in the manual yet. I did read elsewhere that a 20 amp 2 pole and 12/2 with a ground (which I thought was 12/3) is typical for 12k mini's so that's what I was going with until I read otherwise or I was corrected. Thanks for the correction. Now that you mention it, I looked at the stats I posted above and 15 is starring me right in my stupid lazy face! Ha!
I've seen these pics before, in this thread I think.
