Yes it is quite easy but on mine unless I had an AC guy do it there was
no warranty coverage on the units. So I spent the $100 and my guy came
over and spent about 30min pulling down the system, releasing the gas,
and then adding a bit more as I have a coupla long lines. But it is
easy enough. You can buy line sets of various lengths, any excess just
coil them up. My guy told me not to mess with new flares, they never
get right.

The new units come precharged. You should pull a vacuum (and check for leaks)
before releasing the charge into the rest of the lines. The kits include
copper the lines but you'll need a GOOD flare tool if you plan to shorten them.
There are many youtube vidoes on installation but the basic procedure is (1)
drill the big hole (like 1.5 in) through the wall, (2) hang the inside bracket,
(3) unfold the short lines and hand the inside unit, (4) place the outside
unit, (5) connect Freon lines, (6) connect wires, (7) evacuate, and (8) release
Freon (actually R410A).

You'll need a bit of piping and to run your power, you'll need to pay an AC guy
to do the final charging if you want the warranty, or just do it yourself if
not. They are an easy install, basically just cut a small hole in the wall to
run
the lineset and the drain and comm cable, you need power to the condenser
unit from somewhere (mine are 30A 220V). Easy job really.

I know these are relatively inexpensive, but I wonder if they can be found
used? It would be great to make my garage habitable for even a couple of
extra months a year. I just wonder how well it would cope with the heat load
of a hot car added in.

I've been thinking about installing one of those in my garage, it
would be really nice to drop the humidity down in the summer and
also be able to get some work done during the extremes.

Interesting. All built in the same factory I am sure.

Last year I installed a 1200 BTU “Pioneer” brand mini-split heat
pump in my barn (to control humidity and prevent freezing). I
bought it online from an outfit called HighSEER.com, in FL, for a
very reasonable price (IMO).
We just installed a “Trane” mini-split system in the church
kitchen and (as far as I can tell) they are identical.
