I am thinking about putting a mini split unit in my workshop. It’s a 16 x 24 insulated building. I currently heat it with a 220V space heater but have no a/c. Hoping to get the best of both worlds - heating and cooling and better efficiency/less cost for the heating side. Thinking a 12,000 BTU unit will be sufficient and it’s been suggested I get a 220V unit rather than 115. I have 220 going to my existing space heater so compatibility shouldn’t be a problem.
So. . . . . .good experience or bad ? Does 12,000 BTU sound sufficient ? What about installation ? Some describe installation as pretty simple with the refrigerant lines self charged and pretty much plug ‘n play (?) I may imply I know a little about this but in reality I’m starting from square one. Plus my wiring capability is less than zero.
TIA
