re: Experience with split-system ductless A/C

Variable Refrigerant system - 1 outdoor unit (condensing unit); multiple indoor units (evaporator/air cassette units)
Equipment will be more expensive then traditional DX units, but will have little to no ductwork. Trades extra refrigerant piping (2 pipe system), for no ductwork. allows for different temperatures in each "zone"
because of less space requirements, easier to install in an house that has no A/C or has a dilapidated system that needs to be gutted
MAKE SURE you get a qualified A/C guy to install this system. a regular house jockey will screw it up. There are a lot of special installation rules to follow depending on the manufacturer

I have these in my house (recent construction, Mitsubishi). Two 4 ton compressors and 7 air handlers (2 ducted, 5 wall mounted). Works very well, but was pretty difficult to run all of the tubing and wiring.
I did the install myself, but my friend that's a refrigeration guy helped me with making sure I didn't have any leaks, purging the lines and startup.
