That's not how electricity works.

You won't save much money at all by going 220v vs 110v. This is a weird misconception by people, including professionals in the HVAC industry.

You purchase electricity by the watt.

Watt = Volts X Amps

Your 220v system uses half the amps of a 110v system. But it uses twice the voltage. Hence, there is no practical difference in how many watts is used.

There is a SMALL difference because of gauge of wire uses and the heat generation of the WIRE itself. But it's minimal. Like, a few cents per month most likely.
False
Those sq foot ratings don't mean jack. You can easily heat/cool 500-1000sq ft with a 1 ton. It all depends on your climate and insulation.

anyone know why this 12,000 BTU mini split is rated up to 430sq ft, but others like the Bosch 12,000 BTU unit is rated up to 600sq ft?

Do not buy a 120 volt mini split. Will use a lot more electricity than a 220 volt system. Also look for the ones that get the 30% tax credit.

How much more than 220v? My 120v uses 700w to 1400w in the summer, depending how hot it is

I'm a dummy about all this stuff, to say the very least. For probably nigh unto 50 years or so, I have heard that using 220 volts will save a fair amount of money. Now, I hear it plainly debunked. Thanks. And, repped, OP, for the post.

Isn't it dumb to buy this now? It's R410A?

Also, savings appear to be exaggerated vs normal, everyday retail price of this unit, just FYI, still on sale and offers savings just not anything as high as what is posted as HD's regular retail.

The issue is not so much power consumed, but in general 220v motors have an easier time spinning up, leading to longer expected lifespans. There is some energy efficiency but negligible. Does this rule of thumb apply Pioneer's motors? No idea, but I always choose the 220v option when possible.

Motors work more efficiently on more phases. Poorly explained, Instead of running on/off (extremely quickly), the second leg will prevent it from completely shutting off. This is more useful with 3 phase with larger motors.

You'll notice the watt draw between the two models calculates out approximately 117 watts more with the 120V unit.

They won't be able to manufacture R-410A products starting tomorrow. R-410A is already quadruple the price it was 4 years ago. Servicing a 410 unit in 6-8 years will likely mean entire replacement.

Who really knows?
The real question is how good the "new" system will be in it's first years of use?

Personally I always avoid brandy new products, let the others that have to have the latest and greatest paid the premium price on newest products. And deal with any issues that come up.

There are two types of new gases being used instead of R410a. The R32 has been in use in Europe for about ten years. Not sure about the other refrigerant.
I bought another R410a for myself cause I want it for this summer.

Good luck on your decision!

Edit-
BTW I bought the Daikin brand, really wanted a Mitsubishi but that was 50% more.

At this price point i think you would be better off just replacing the whole unit instead of getting it serviced, provided you get several years out of it
