I've had my Fujitsu Halcyon for five years. No problems. Does the job.

What is the avg cost to install one of these things? We're considering one also-

We had all HVAC come do an estimate in our previous apt, but after the appointment he was too busy, and never even got back with the numbers. Maybe the job was too small?

Have a Mr. Slim in a condo I own. I like it, it does the job. Quiet.

Thanks for sharing the quote. Are you in a landmark district? Do you need permits for this kind of work?

Yes, you need permits because of the new electrical work. You'll also need a permit to install a roof-top compressor (as a neighbor learned the hard way: with a $2,000 fine from DOB responding to a nasty neighbor's complaint).

I've been working with Fred from Rumba Air. He's a great guy with an excellent crew. They haven't finished yet, so my enthusiasm may be misdirected. But I have a good feeling about this guy. The prep work has been immaculate, they are on time every day, and are very clean.

lymandval: can you share who your HVAC contractor was?
