Dont have one here yet, but have being in places with the split system
ones, and
they are great. Watch the hose lengths, as thats where you lose efficiancy,
Also, see if you can get an inverter one, they are more economical in times
when
you only need a bit of heating or cooling.

Watch that you do get a true reversable one, some only put heating elements
in
the inside bit and neglect to tell you they have no economical benifits in
winter over any other electric heat.
