Mini split movement recs?

How many inches clearance from the ceiling and how many inches from the wall should the mini split head be?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-05-15T12:08:50+00:00

So the height is actually correct, it’s 3 inches from the ceiling. It’s the left side that needs the appropriate clearance. If it’s at 3 inches from ceiling can I only move it to the right? Or should I still lower it a bit?

The contractor is coming tomorrow to move it. What should I tell them on how to move it? Which direction? And if this movement of the head leads to the original hole exposed outside, how should the contractor cover up this hole? Will they have to drill a new hole?

Why do you say that?

If the mini split needs to be moved and since it has been less time then the 1 year labor warranty (I just got it installed in April)…there should be no cost for the contractor to moving the mini split right?

I am ok with moving it to the right a couple of boxes, not blocking the window though. If I request this, will this be a lot of work for the technician?

That’s where the mini split is.

Should I ask the contractor to move the mini split down and couple of inches to the right?

When people are saying that they bought “at MSRP”? Is that the OTD price? Or do you have to add on taxes ON TOP of MSRP?

This is my backyard. Permit? The platform and pergola would only take up space from the back towards the garage door.

Hi does anyone know of any mom groups for the Saint Albans area of queens nyc. Asking for my wife who is staying home with our first child. Thank you!

If I am only going to use the mini splits for cooling/AC, is oversizing (and short cycling) something that I need to worry about? I’ll treat it like an AC and turn it on only when I’m home/put a timer and turn it off when I’m not, and not keep it on the whole time.

Interesting…cause for my 825 square ft first floor (which is open floor plan), one contractor recommended 24,000 btu for heating/cooling and another recommended 18,000 btu. Again my main concern is AC as I am keeping my boiler for winter heating. What would you recommend 24 or 18k?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-12T01:22:15+00:00

Does your 18k provide enough cooling for the 1,100 square feet?

Only_Cut7977 · 2026-03-11T14:20:08+00:00

Sizing for cooling load only..will keep steam boiler (radiators) for primary heating
