    So I installed a 4 zone 38,000btu mini split system 3 yrs ago . Absolutely put the window units to shame and cheaper to run . But alas , a long comes a power surge and ferrrnnnnt . Burnt the boards on all of the heads and the outdoor unit . WTF . $4,500 paper weight . Instead of ducking with swapping out board and possible fans I bought a whole new system .
    $4,200 after tax and shipped . Exact same model . Plumbing , electrical and mounting brackets are already there .

    So a little PSA . Get a whole house surge protector . It'll save you a ton O cash . Guy 2 doors down had the controller on his furnace get zapped at the same time . Almost 2G repair .
