Install MiniSplit to outlet??

[Adrian Anguiano]

I have all my 240 outlets in my panel used up and in my subpanel with outlets in my garage. I'm going to put in a mini split in the garage. What you think is the best way to give it power? Is it possible to wire everything into an existing 240 plug? how about disconnect switch?

i sure it possible, but is it legal by code. my mini split is hardwired to the breaker on its own 20A (thinks thats right) breaker. reasonable sure the manufacturer recommends it be hardwired. mine runs pretty much 24/7. it may not be heating/cooling the entire till but it does have the fan circulating air the whole time.

My mini-split is powered from the compressor outside.
