Hi guys, I've been too retired all summer to think about this project, but last month
I built the outdoor pad, started getting the 230VAC supply set up and just placed
my order for the Sanyo 2-ton I've been looking at. (Of course it's on back-order)!
I got some interesting (rumor?) news from the support guy I was talking to at
the dealer.
He said they got some feed-back from an owner who had been in direct
contact with Sanyo about the cold temperature operation of this model.
Sanyo says, They under-rated the unit. it will give full output (29,000 BTUh) all the way down to 17 degs!
And, down at (0), zero deg F, it will still give you 70% of full rating.
I think that's about 20,300 BTUh..
If this is true, I'll be golden this winter!!
I plan to post more as I dig into this project.
