Now that i got you here 
I wanted to offer a Step By Step Instruction on Installing Mini Splits.
Ive been seeing these used a lot for any type of grow (small/commercial and me) everyone seems to like them for the most part so if you guys ever decide to buy one you can come here to see how to do it
....... (The Laymens Term way)
1.Mount the inside unit with a bracket to the wall in the room, Make sure to cut a 2.5-3'' hole so the pipes can go through (this will be hidden by the unit once mounted).
2.Connect the pipes (Inside Unit Connect to the outside unit)
They Just Screw together with Pre-Flared, Pre-Nutted fittings. -They have to be super tight. - (Normally this is where you would want to vacuum the lines to see if there are any leaks)- But if you do not have that-just keep reading
3.Connect the wires( There is a Numbered Terminal On the inside unit and outside unit, The wires need to connect to each terminal together-( Sometimes 4-5 wires depending on the make and model)- May need to remove the face off of the inside unit to expose the wire terminal, outside one is easy.
4.Provide the power supply:
a.Either Run the power supply to a dis-connect outside( dis-connect costs about 12 buck at lowes), then from that dis-connect you provide power to the outside unit via a whip ( Waterproof conduit with wires built in- not expensive)
b. Other units, like Mr. Whisper- the power is ran to the inside unit so it can plug in on the inside, and power is given to the outside unit through the inside units power connection. No Dis-connect required( But you do need to ground the outside unit)
5.Release The 410a: Now all your pipes and connections are completed, double check everything, If all is well this is where we release the 410a freon from the outside condenser into the copper pipes.
-On the outside unit there will be two octagon style nuts on the connections where the pipes were connected( Not the nuts from the pipes, those are holding the pipes on) -its on the back of the ports- you unscrew those which will expose allen key style openings- You basically just unscrew those until they stop or until they are flush with the opening, put the octagon caps back on.
Once this is completed- Turn the System on,
6.Perge the Lines ( Release pressure from the service port to clear the air in the lines) -The service port looks kinda like a tire pressure valve, on the outside unit, in the area where you connected the copper pipes. It has a cap on it- You will need to press the valve like releasing some air from a tire, about 4- times should do it. This will force out any air that may be in the lines, and thats that
The only issue when you do your own install is that most of the time the factory will not give you parts for free if they break- Not to say you will not get parts, but you will most likely have to pay for them.
You will save allot of money doing your own install- the benefit outweighs the risk!
Some places ive seen these system done for 2200-5600
Let me know if you have any questions
