Shinco heat pumps
Anyone ever heard anything about these heat pumps. My sister is being pushed pretty hard by a salesman to put one in, not that I'd let her do it.

Re: Shinco heat pumps
not had any mauling with these japanese units- 1yr warranty on parts 5yr warranty on the compressor- this tells me the pcbs will destroy themselves in 18mth. suppose it depends on the quality of the workmanship from the monkey installing it

I am told they are Chinese so they are automatically suspect to me.

If it is Chinese, stay away, don't let the low price blind you.
Japanese? grab it.

Re: Shinco heat pumps
geography wasnt my best subject at school, mike why can't u do her a custom built mike holm special, hows the price compare to other systems? all low budget splits use either hitatchi,panasonic compressors as they are proven reliable, i remember having to source a condenser fan blade for a fairland-could get complete systems no problem but finding a spares distributor-took a while, all things for her to look into when taking the plunge

I probably will make her a unit but this guy is pushing hard all over the province and he is charging $2000 installed for what I guess is a 4-5kw air to air unit. I expect it doesn't use a descent comp but who knows.
