I finally talked to the installer and sure enough he installed one of the micro pumps in the back of the Samsung that pumped to a larger more powerful Little Giant pump, that pumped the condensate...

That is exactly what I thought. What I did not do is get the model number of the Samsung mini-split to look up its specs. None-the-less, if the Samsung had a pump, why pump it to another pump? The...

I will be having a mini-split installed in a home theater I am building in a basement. I will also have a condensate pump installed since this is below grade.

I work in a public school district...

Great suggestions from all. I am also investigating the micro condensate pumps. These are split units with a small piece fitting into the back of the mini-split attached to the drain and a small pump...

Based on my previous post:

Previous post about condensate pumps

I have decided (with the help from my fellow posters) to install a condensate pump on a mini-split that will go into a home...

I do not have a sump pump at all, the basement is bone dry.

Never heard of a heat pan. Do you have a link to one?

Unfortunately, the central AC is about 30 feet away in another part of the basement. I will take a look at the Beckets

comfortdoc, thanks for the follow-up. I think I will go this route. Anybody have a recommendation on a make or model of condensate pump? This will have to be a pump that is exterior to the...

Wow, some strong feelings on this. I do not have a mini-split now but based on seeing these operate in other venues, my guess is they can generate a good amount of condensate over a 2 or 3 hour time...

I am installing a home theater in my basement. I am going to heat this space with baseboard electric and cool it with a Mitsubishi cooling only mini-split.

Since this space is below grade I have...

I will insulate them, thanks.

As far as a drop ceiling, they do not do nearly as well at stopping sound traveling out of a theater room as sheetrock does. In fact I am putting two layers of 5/8...

I am finishing part of my basement into a home theater. This section is directly below the master bedroom and bath. I noticed that all the hot water pipes starting from the hot water heater are...

I realize that the rough in work goes in before the drywall goes up and the units go in after. I would guess that for most installs the time between rough in of linesets etc. and when the indoor and...

I am refinishing a portion of my basement as a home theater. I will be heating it with baseboard electric heat and hopefully cooling it with a Mitsubishi mini-split. In about a month the sheetrock...

It seems like they do not make any mini-splits that are meant to duct to another location and are small enough for my needs. York makes one but it is huge and is meant to heat or cool a very large...

Thanks for the lead on the Enviromaster unit. I have looked at a few other units that have provisions for duct work but all the ones I looked at put out huge amounts of cooling or heat, far more than...

Thanks for the info on the enviromaster units. I did take a look at these but they have one big problem, noise. All mini-splits are quiet when compared to a window unit but there are differences...

I will probably end up with a cooling only unit, the 9,000btuh model

I will be putting a small size Mitsubishi mini split into my home theater in the basement. I visited a local HVAC showroom that had one of these on display.

I did not realize until I talked with...

Aircooled53 - I am not familiar with the fan coil unit you mention in your post. How do these work? Any links you can provide?

I agree, I do not want air blowing directly on somebody. My home theater will have two rows of seats. This puts the back row about a foot from the back wall and the front row about 6 foot from the...

Unfortunately, using my existing furnace is not a good fit. I have had three different HVAC contractors look at it and all three said the same thing. Hard spot to get enough returns and supplies to...

I am contemplating a mini-split for a home theater room I am building in my basement. It will be a cool only Mitsubishi unit, the smallest one they carry, rated at 8,500 btuh.

I went to a local...

I have had two different HVAC contractors come to my house and quote me on installing a 9,000 btuh, cooling only Mitsubishi mini-split.

This will be installed in a basement home theater. The...
