We absolutely love our Wolf home! Something to think about, is to give the option to have the compressor or condenser mounted on the ground away from the bedroom. The vibration and fan take some getting used to, when it's running it sounds like you left your truck idling outside.
If someone was really interested in this setup, we'd likely accommodate. The main problem is, that means running some of the line-set after the house has been delivered, then doing the install and charging of the system. This adds to the time between delivery and the house being move in ready, as well as needing extra tools and certified people on site rather than in our factory. Certainly understand the desire to have it isolated.
Nope! We seal the holes where the line-set passes through any walls, interior or exterior with expanding foam. The line-set has insulation around the copper lines already which mitigates most of the condensation. If you are a DIY'er the best thing to remember about line-sets is keeping the insulation on the lines sealed. Once the copper is exposed to air, you will get condensation from ambient humidity. You will naturally have some copper exposed at the ends for the connections. Do watch out for corrosion on these joints in particularly wet and humid climates. A corrosion inhibitor spray can further protect those joints.
We use Daikin for our mini splits. There are lots of good options though. A 16k BTU should be sufficient, but this depends on how well the space is insulated. You could likely get away with smaller, it just wouldn't be quite as effective.
Minisplits are a no-brainer for tiny homes. Great advice.

@@wolfindustries1323 or if it's possible put it somewhere besides outside the master bedroom.
Is there anything you have to do differently when installing the line sets in the wall? Any worries about condensation?

Hello which brand and how many or size do I need for a garage /room addition around 800sg ft
We use Daikin for our mini splits. There are lots of good options though. A 16k BTU should be sufficient, but this depends on how well the space is insulated. You could likely get away with smaller, it just wouldn't be quite as effective.
How long do these mini splits usually last?
15-20 Years depending on maintenance.
@@wolfindustries1323 NICE!
