Sweet Evlme2, I didn't realize the instruction manuals would go into that kind of detail. Thanks.
This is what they recommended wtf is the price? http://excelair.ca/caution25package.html A little frustrating already lol...Do you have to email them for the price?
Wow that's expensive considering you can get the same thing for much, much less right here

And I read both the Grunaire and Excel site. Both come with precharged line sets and their own connections so every component is precharged, no vacuum required.
Interesting, never saw that before. Good idea. Way too expensive for some of them however.
Plug and Play
Plug and Play refrigeration fittings make air cooled units simple to install by yourself; without the need of a
costly certified installer. Each refrigeration line is pre-charged with the correct amount of refrigerant for
your system. Just thread the fittings together and startup your system! The fittings are re-sealable unlike
the generic units on the market, meaning, if you need to take your system out for servicing or relocating
your unit no refrigerant is lost and can be simply re-installed.
2 ton = $3K (US)
5 ton = $7K
i'm guessing the 2.5 ton would be ~$3.5-4K
i just called them a few days ago.
I believe these are the Excel prices. There are none listed on their site. If these are accurate I can see why they don't want to list them.
So
2 ton Grunaire = $1300
2 ton Excel = $3000
Big difference for what seems like the same thing. The couplers must be pretty awesome on the Excel for $1700!
In fairness I could not find out if the Gunaire model could be disassembled and reassembled like you can do with the Excel.
You guys that are running these split units. Are you all running both the home and split units compressor and fans outside? I know anything is possible but is anyone concealing the compressor and fan of the split unit?
I hid mine in my attic
only issue with this is I needed to make an intake and exhaust for the outdoor unit as the ambient temperature of my attic is rather warm. If the outdoor unit draws in warm air it wont work that efficiently and it probably wont work for very long either. I was planning on having some ducting made so that I could draw in fresh air through the roof and then exhaust out the face of my attic where an existing vent was located. Might be an option for you to explore if your trying to get real stealthy!
