Am I right in thinking that during the winter you can use the AC system as a dehumidifier? That would be a huge bonus as we currently use one in the cold months.

Yes, on ours and I believe many others you can.

Not sure if it’s as effective as a dehumidifier, it depends where you read.

Looking at getting 2 rooms done in my home with a single outdoor unit. Had one quote for Mitsubishi kit for £2.8k. Wasn’t fond of the bloke that quoted so probably won’t go ahead with it.

I have some questions if you guys could help?

Do I need to get planning permission for this?

Can anyone recommend a supplier/fitter in the North Hampshire area?

Are there any must haves on a modern system? I want to be able to control them from my phone both in and out of the house. I’ve been told I need to get ones with variable inverters, but I think they all do now. Any other must have features? Thanks.

Most installers will tell you your fine as long as the external unit is 1m off your boundary. We have good neighbours who don’t care and all our other units are out of sight. Plus our neighbours were surprised that they can never hear the unit. If your in a new build you may have some additional restrictions.

Not all will allow phone control. I think there are some third party adapters, but you’d need to look into it. Our Daikin Emura units have WiFi connections.

I’d be surprised if you could find any that weren’t variable.

unless it's some very fancy units that price is extremely high
 
2020 2.5k for 2 Mistibushi Zen + outdoor unit. Included electrics.

2022 1.5k for 1 Mistibushi Zen + outdoor unit. Ex. electrics as they were already there.

The quote was for:
  • 1 x Mitsubishi MSZAP35VGK for the Living Room
  • 1 x Mitsubishi MSZAP25VGK for the Bedroom
  • 1 x Mitsubishi MXZ2F53V3 for Outside
  • All electrical work
  • 1 year Labour warranty
  • 5 year parts warranty
 
I just paid £2.7k for 2 indoor Fujitsu units and one outdoor unit including electrics. That was the cheapest quite I had by far out of at least half a dozen companies.
 
Looking at the forecast for Sunday-Tuesday, I just want say to everyone with air-con at home: damn you all :D

We're definitely going to look at a permanent install but priority right now is saving for a wedding and honeymoon so it'll have to wait a couple of years. I've cadged a dehumidifier as a small attempt to make things a little more comfortable this weekend but I'm not sure it's going to do much with a south-facing bedroom :( might have to look at draping some towels over the outside of the bedroom windows to try and stop all sunlight getting in!
 
The dehumidifier will probably just make things worse, they kick out a load of heat, plus you’ll have your windows open so and humidity you take out will just be replaced.
