I seem to remember reading something about not being efficient below some number in the teens. Which would still be OK for me even in Chicago.

Let me know how it goes. I figure I can do most of the work myself and maybe find an HVAC person to do the purge etc.

My understanding is they come loaded with refrigerant??
