Good luck and know that you can put the most efficient, cutting edge top dollar piece of eqipment in but if it is not sized and installed properly you will have problems, so choose a good contractor to work with
Agree with this post... including get a competent contractor (actually the competent contractor is the MOST important part). Drains for each mini head (part you see in each room) is important also.
The multi-head systems have come a LONG way in recent years; they are quiet and comfortable.
I would shop lots of contractors installing Daiken and Mitsubishi. Fujitsu is a good co, however lately they are having issues.

GA's basic rules of home heating and AC upgrades:
*Installation is more important than the brand of equipment
*The duct system keeps the house comfortable; the equipment only heats and cools (and dehumidifies)
*The value of comfort, over the long term; leave economic choices behind!
Choose your contractor wisely!
