Mitch, Thanks for the rundown. Do you know where the big 3 are actually made and where the parts come from? As I recall the brochure for my Pioneer (years ago) said it had a Mitsubishi compressor but I see the current brochure shows GMCC compressors, whatever that is. I know that many brands of the central ducted heat pump systems use the same parts. I wondered if you had any insight if this is the case with mini-splits?

The next tier is pretty much LG and LG. The 'I like Commies' choices would have Pioneer and Gree in the top tier, then everything else. Daikin wasn't an option for me, as there were no gray market distribution channels 8 years ago. That seems to have changed since they were merged with Goodman. At any rate, 'inverter drive' is easily worth an extra couple hundred bucks if you use it very much. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
