Installation is very easy. They are very "over engineered" have no electric heat like a standard heat pump, but instead don't run the indoor fan during defrost. I would stick to a known manufacturer. Because parts are very specific from manufacturer to manufacturer, and a lack of parts availability would turn a simple repair into an equipment replacement

OTTCT uses one in his CTC, but he is huge compared to a TD. I love mini-splits; they are very efficient and some can run "backwards" and provide very efficient heating too. Much better than electric resistance heating, depending on the exterior temperature and the unit design. Some of the better ones can be programmed to run at reduced speed which = reduced capacity and would be good for TD's and CTC's. If you use one that is too big and can not be slowed down you have the same problems as with any oversized A/C; too much on - off cycling and too little moisture removal. They are huge dollars compared to window shakers.
