Hi,

Got a tiny concrete cottage about 700 square feet. Been thinking about
adding a mini-split heat pump. This is a rental property for poor people.

What has been your experience? What brand names are good? Advice?

I have 2 of them. They work well but the fact that they use a remote
control might be troubling in a rental. Expect them to get lost. I
would switch mine to a wall mounted thermostat in a heartbeat if there
was an easy way to do it.

Had a Pioneer system at my last place.
Easy to install and had no issues with it.

They give you a bracket to hang it on the wall but you can't make it
stay there. It has to come out to change the batteries and that means
it can be taken out and lost. I don't know why people think they need
the remote with them but I find them scattered around. I still do not
understand this "remote" madness but everything seems to have a remote
these days.

Perhaps this might help...

A renter might try to remove the cable for a TV remote, but for a piece of HVAC equipment
they wouldn't really need to tamper with it. It's worth a shot.

It would be a lot easier if they would just let you put a thermostat
on the wall and get rid of the remote altogether.

You might find it cheaper to get one or
two Walmart window AC. Renters can be
hell on fixtures.
