Pioneer Air Conditioner WYS030GMHI22M3 Multi Split System, Trio Split (3 Zone)

These are fairly new around here. The installation cost me 1500 on top of the purchase price. I love the fact that I only run the units in the rooms I am using. I split the system into 9- 9 -12. The 9000 models are whisper quiet and keep each bedroom at a perfect temperature. The larger unit is in my living room kithen combo area and it can be heard running. The noise level is akin to a window fan. Still way less noise than my old central air unit. The only "con:is the air conditioning can be too cold when running downstairs. I know it said I needed a 12000k unit for 500 square feet and too cold I guess really wouldn't be a complaint for most people, lol. The heat was perfect while it was cold. The costs are also much cheaper than my central air. Now for the only cons I can see to purchasing this and it would not prevent me from purchasing again. 1. I had to purchase longer line sets, it really doesn't make clear that the line sets that come with it aren't long enough if you are running units from a 2 story condo. I had to purchse 2 more at a cost of about 80 each. 2. The outside line set covers they sell here to go with them? Don't bother. They are expensive at about $60 a set and still weren't enough to cover my outside lines. I have done some research and am having the seamless guttering person out to run matching colored downspots to cover them. They willl blend in much better and look much tidier. If your siding is a common color you could go to a home improvement store and buy down spouts yourself for about $10 apiece.

Had a coworker rave about his mini split system that was one of the more popular names in the business. He spent around 30% more for his 3 zone system. I didn't have that amount of money considering cost of installation as well. So I went with the Pioneer 3 zone system after some research. I divided the 3 units by getting an 18k btu for my living room, 12k btu for my bedroom and the 9k btu for my office. They all work great, the 9k is obviously the weakest of them all. However I don't notice a huge difference between the 12 and 18k though... pretty quiet, there's a TURBO button on the remotes that gets the fan to blow harder and lowder, nice feature if you're coming home to a hot house and want a quicker cool off time. There's also a button to control if you want the LED light on or off on the wall units. The outdoor unit (condenser) is also much quieter than I anticipated. All in all I'm very satisfied.

This system is really nicely put together and a phenomenon deal at basically 35% off what Mitsubishis and Fujitsu's sell for. I had the system professionally installed by a well-seasoned HVAC technician and he was very impressed with everything- especially the price. The technician installed all 3 head units, compressor, ran 220V for $1600 in an easy day and a half, he probably could of had it done in a good full day. I was of course skeptical about the quality, but he reassured me it seems reasonably well-made, it's not commercial quality, but about as good as many highly regarded brands and better than Carrier- which he said he'd never install in his own home. I couldn't help myself though and paid for a 5-yr Squaretrade warranty for another $350- maybe for peace of mind. I'm also going to check with my local electric company, I might qualify for a $500 rebate' The unit was received by freight in 7 days, I was able to pack it into my Minivan, as they only have curbside delivery and I have a 500ft long driveway very unapproachable by a tractor trailer. Be aware that it delivers with x3 line sets, each 16' long. One placement was a few feet longer, but he was able to extend the included line set a few more feet and therefore charged me an extra $50. If I had some forethought, I probably could have called the company and ask for a longer line set for a minimal charge. BTW, I was able to speak to a live person fairly easily, as I needed a 18-9-9 configuration and I didn't want any hiccups with the install. Really, everything went perfect, but my installer was basically the head troubleshooter for a fairly large company doing a side-job. I also checked around a bunch, an equal system installed was between $7-8k, so I saved quite a bit of money and would have perhaps been more without the SQ warranty, but I have some piece of mind...for 5yrs anyway, lol.... PS*UPDATE* Total POS, complete cascading failure, first the reversing valve then registers. Completely DEAD!

It seems good deal but it won't work as I expected. It would be better if buy a single air/heater which I have one , it works real good. Prices are right.

We had two of these installed in October, the house we bought had propane heaters mounted on the walls and while they are very efficient (I suppose) they were not at all attractive or safe for a disabled brother. The day the install was finished the temps were in the mid 90s (gotta love Virginia) My room was COLD when I got home, Mid 50s females like that. We have one unit on either end of the house, one up and one down each. The water was flowing from the pipe, from dehumidifying, and the house was really comfortable. The next week, it got pretty chilly, so we switched to heat, and they kept the house comfy, my bedroom and my brothers are above and below he keeps his room at about 72 and mine is kept about 65. we had some actual cold weather and they kept it right up. They did hit the defrost mode a couple of times, but it was 6 degrees and they came right back into heat mode. one of the non-bedroom units is in a sunroom we are remodeling, and the new windows help a lot, there is little or no insulation, (getting that taken care of as soon as the taxes get done) but it keeps it tolerable even in extreme, well above freezing anyway. I found a HVAC installer that put them in for me, with both units and installed, we saved about 4,000 over the lowest quote we got, and 7,000 over the highest.
