That looks basically like a window unit for one room but with the
condenser unit outside and one head unit for inside. It's probably
about 5k BTU which is kinda window unit output. And if it runs on 110V
it ain't gonna do much. Probably some cheepchinee thing, might work OK
for awhile but I
I see these weird, off brand mini-splits around here all the time. Cheap as
wine, but you have to wonder where they came from and who really made them. I
think either Floyd or Mitch have done some digging into brands as to who makes
some of them.

If you 'pump down' a system for disassembly by running it with the liquid line

Few A/C units and not all heat pumps have accumulators.

Well it is all in the unit outside, call it what you want, my guy called
it the condenser unit, and that whole unit has the gas tank and

Should I choose to do this, I’ll be able to run very short lines. My condenser

I'm not sure I understand that explanation, so I'll throw in my own.

up your lines to the condenser and the head unit(s), there is a tap on
the condenser to attach a vacuum to. So you pull the vacuum which

That would probably be the way to go, though those units are probably
not quite as efficient, but if you aren't using it much you probably
wouldn't care.

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).

My split system does not do hot water, I have a tankless hot water heater and
it has been very good. The hot water heater uses natural gas with electric
ignition. The split system heat pump AC works on electricity. Both very good

source hot water at a shower head? Someone recently mentioned it to
me - I had never heard of that type of device.
