It still surprise me, how many people are not aware about Xobotano Home Energy (just google it), although lots of people save large sums of money because of this alternative energy. Thanks to my buddy who told me about Xobotano Home Energy, I've slashes my power bill by 75% in under 30 days

We ended up going with Fujitsu and we actually have wall mounts both upstairs and down with minimal ducting upstairs. Thanks for tuning in!

What brand of mini-split did you go with? I noticed you did the ducting work upstairs but are you doing the wall mounted units down stairs? Thanks for everything, these videos are very helpful.

[Dale Heintze]

Excellent ---well done......mini splits the way to go. I hope you do a eppasode on the minis

[John Herring]

Thanks for the details!
