I have a cool only one installed in my garage here in FL.
Paid $450 for it and installed it myself, 3yrs old and no issues
yet my central AC unit only 5 years old had it's cool replaced and always has drain line issues. I like the mini splits, units are much quieter inside and out. I would put one in my master bdrm and one in the living room if I could, would allow more fine control.
Now there are some expensive Mitsubishi or Panasonic ones that cost several thousand installed. The one I went with is cheap enough if anything happened I'd throw it away and install another.
I'd use them as a supplement to a central air system but probably not as a replacement, but that is in FL where we don't really need any heat.
