As the upstairs bedroom is fairly small, and there is no neat way to run the lines from the indoor unit to the outdoor condenser, I opted for a ceiling unit. The downside is that is bulky, and heavy. They recommend 2 people to install it, but since I haven’t been able to clone myself and it’s do it YOURSELF, I thought of a safe way to get it mounted. Using a climbing rope which I attached to the 4 hoist points, and a pulley screwed info the rafter, I hoisted the unit up, secured the rope and then climbed up to get it supported with some 2×4’s. Then I could detach the rope and shift the unit into place. Finally it’s secured into the ceiling joists, which air had to add, as it needed 16″ spaces joists, whilst mine are 24″.

There will be a ceiling cover mounted later, but this was the most challenging part.
