Quiet window air conditioner

I don't have anything to add, but am interested in your outcome.

BTW, don't most guy's wives want the noisiest system to drown out the snoring? Just kidding...

Mine was a home depot/ ramsound mini split air /heat pump 12000 btu just over $1000.00 very comfortable.

I'm interested in those mini splits as well. May install one in my house. Be nice to not have to take the window a/c out for winter. And it having a heat pump would be a bonus as well.

I don't mind the noise of the a/c myself. I think the hum of the compressor and the fan going in my window a/c is soothing and helps me get to sleep.

Though if I'm talking on the phone it can get loud and be hard to hear the person on the other end of the phone.

How much did it cost if I may ask?

Don't mind ha asking. YMMV, but I had a GREE 4 zone installed with heat pump. They had to travel 120 miles to my place for install and did all the lineset covers and custom fit the line length so nice clean install. $5,760 and let me put on credit card for the points.

I will add this... It was a 2-3 man crew that worked sun up to sun down on the install. This was the the 3rd company I had come out and the only one with real experience and knowledge of multi zone. The other two quotes were double and was clear they had no clue what they were doing.

Knew I had the right company when they said, yep we do retro fits like this all the time and yours is a typical straight forward job. Did an A frame like this one with a loft just like this last week.

Thanks C4Ranch! That's in the same area I was quoted for a Mitsubishi unit for two rooms. The sales guy brought out a demo unit and you couldn't hear it run on low, and it was like a whisper on high. Having trouble hearing on the phone without the A/C running, much less when it's grinding away. Thanks to all who replied!

You will find that Mitsubishi is the most expensive. Keep in mind AC units typically share same components and at end of the day they're compressors, condensers, coils and fans.

One feature I was looking for was the "I feel" which allows the unit to measure temp based on the remote control placement vs. where the unit is mounted.

Agree, I was amazed at how quiet they are.

The latest models are all inverter (variable frequency drives) for both compressor and indoor units.

We had the Mitsubishi unit installed in our sunroom. You cannot hear it running. It keeps the 12 x 24 sunroom cool and also keeps the 16x18 utility room cool. This is amazing to me since there is only a 3' door connecting the rooms and it is as far away from the unit as possible. It was $3500 installed, expensive, but worth the money. As I said above you cannot hear it running.

We repainted all the sunroom window frames last fall. There are thirteen windows. It was 90+ outside and inside and all windows were open. We turned the unit on, installed the handles, and cranked all the windows closed. It was cool within ten minutes.

Worth the money.

How long ago did you have it installed? That seems like a very reasonable price.
