I bought this to replace a failed unit in an addition to my house. This room is not on the ductwork for the central A/C, so it needs its own unit.

This model is slightly wider than my old unit, so I also replaced the sleeve (EA108T). This is a through-the-wall mount and requires a sleeve, though if there is an existing sleeve and it's large enough, you can use that. The unit comes with a new grill for the back of the sleeve, and various foam pieces to apply to the sleeve to make the unit fit. Note that you must remove any existing grill or plate from the back of the sleeve.

Mounting the sleeve in the wall is the hard part; the A/C itself just slides in. Both the A/C and heat work fine.

As with any heavy item, it's prone to being damaged by the delivery company. Inspect it carefully and file a complaint if it's damaged. The box for mine had some dings in it, but the unit itself was fine.

This requires a 250v 20amp fuse and dedicated circuit. The plug is NEMA 6-20, which has one flat vertical, one flat horizontal and one round prong. The outlet has to match in both configuration and volt/amp. I happen to have a 20amp fuse/circuit even though the old air conditioner was using a 15 amp plug/outlet, so I can change the outlet without any issues - but I got lucky. If I had a fuse/dedicated circuit that was 15 amp I would be calling an electrician to replace it.

I ordered two of these, one arrived too damaged to install - very poorly handled. It is packed correctly, someone just plain dropped it on the far back corner of the unit and that took all of the weight. Ruined it through the styrofoam packing. They are taking "48-72 hours" to decide if I should get a replacement, which translates into 6-9 working days or around two weeks. In the meantime, that particular room is not inhabitable.

The second unit runs fine, and it comes with a remote which I was... Read more

Had one issue: Power cable to the blower fan was loose and hanging into fan blades. Took cover off to and reattached cable with cable ties. The factory cable hook is very poorly made and will not hold cable during shipping. Unit is quiet and heats/cools well.
