110 volt versus 220 volt mini heat pump
I have enclosed my screened porch to create more living space(Florida Room). I am using a single zone mini split ductless heat pump for heating and cooling. It has been calculated that I need a 12,000 BTU unit. However, most of these units are available in 110 volts and 220 volts. The 220 models typically cost $50-100 more. I am trying to determine the advantages and/or disadvantages of each (power usage, unit life, ease of wiring, safety, etc.) in order to choose a unit. Any help is appreciated.
