Recently enclosed our lanai, looking for a good contractor to add climate control, will probably install mini-split. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Hey, Maynard! Want to help tear down the old Endicott building?

We use the cheap portable AC unit from Sam's Club, $300.

How well does the portable unit work? Does it have a discharge for the water?

It's only 8,000 btu, but it works great and evaporates the water through the outside exhaust. I have mine mounted on a wood stand I built so the exhaust goes directly through a window vent without using the hose that comes with it.

Looks very nice too.

Bought a Rollicool from Amazon. Wonderful! $500.00

Cools beautifully.

As a retired HVAC contractor, you just can’t throw a ductless mini split into your lanai. There are codes and laws especially in Sumter county. There are quality portable AC into that work great. Just purchased a few for friends through supply house. Straight cooling or heat pump. Do remember, these Lanai’s are not insulated. Whoever paid $4,800 got taken, that was an extremely high price.

Unless your lanai is HUGE and has no attic over it, it seems to me that a contractor could simply add duct work from your existing system to handle the lanai. Installing a split system for just one room is very costly and would require a second outside unit and expensive electrical work.

R&A Industries installed my mini-split at much lower cost than SunKool.
