Mini Split Owners

I have Eversource and the electric rate usually changes every six months, I expect it to go up.

Same here. Mini spilts though mid November then switch to the hot water baseboard until April. Also, I agree with leaving them at a comfortable temperature and cycle up and down.

I'm still using my Heat pumps but it's supposed to cool down quite a bit on Thanksgiving so I will switch to oil by then.
Happy Thanksgiving.

we have the Mitsubishi mini split and we had the control module installed it isn called Kumo Cloud, allows you to control the unit from your phone works great as long as you have internet

I just installed 2 new Pioneer Mini-Splits this fall. A few things that were material when I purchased.

1. If you intend to use it in the winter - make sure you pick one that is rated for very low temp as not all make/models are suited for this climate. In my case, the WYS Inverter ++ is rated to be able to heat in conditions down to -13F. (Going to test that this winter and keep my old heater as a back up if it can't keep up) Many have low temp models but many don't. I needed to read the fine print.
2. You can control everything from your phone as it connects to your home wifi (like many vendors do) if you have that. Agreed - I don't use the remote either.
3. If you want to take advantage of the state (Electric Company) rebates ~$250 per ton, you need to be very careful to pick a model that meets the state requirements as that was not as easy as it sounds. Else you risk losing out on hundreds of dollars.
4. Also agree that the temp reading of these seeing they are up near the ceiling is always off from the rest of the room by a few degrees. Some models have a feature where you tell the system to get the room temp from the remote which can be put in a more reasonable position.
