I bought 2 of these units about 2 months ago. The HVAC man I had installing them couldn't believe the quality and price of the units. Installation was quick and easy and the units are great. The inside units are so quiet you actually have to look at the display to see if they are running. And the shipping was fast and painless. Great product at a great price!! I would highly recommend these units to anyone!!

Very Happy With The Shinco Split Air Conditioner

Brilliant! I have been very satisfied with this air conditioner. We live in the desert and can tell you that people live and die with the kind of air conditioning they have. This split air conditioner has saved the day over the last year and I am am so happy to have invested in it. In fact, I am buying a second one for my mom and step-father this summer! What I enjoy most about this air conditioner is that it really has the capability of blasting air in and then maintaining the exact room temperature that I want to maintain during the night. It is also very, very quiet. I havent had any problems with it and us it every single day for most of year. If you are looking for a high quality air conditioner that doesnt use up a lot of energy, then this should be high on anyone's list.

Pretty Decent

For a retrofit, you would drill a hole and push all the hoses straight out the wall. Easy, but doesn't look so good. I ran all the piping inside the walls, and have both the refrigerant lines and the electrical lines coming out the wall on a piece of treated lumber so we could properly install our siding around it. Then the wall mount bracket bolts on the lumber, and you have a very nice, tidy installation. That is why I say new construction is a little harder in that respect.
You will still want an HVAC man to come and hook up the lines and do the vacuum process.
You simply cannot beat the price on this unit. The cheapest thing I could find locally was literally twice the price, and was simply just way too big for my needs.
Great product but beware you need some skill if you attempt it yourself!
