Unfortunately, sometimes the best answer/decision today becomes a bad decision tomorrow.

Then it clearly wasn't the best decision at the time.

If you are evaluating a system today, and it does everything you could ever need and then some. It cost a nominal amount of money to implement compared to the competition and you go with that solution.

That isn't a bad decision.

In 3 years there could be a way better system that exist and costs even less and offers more. But you needed a system 3 years ago not 3 years in the future.

You picked the best solution for the organization that was available at the time.

"At the time" is the key phrase. A boss could say, "Why didn't you look to the future and only see the present? You wasted my money because you didn't look out far enough" That then makes it a bad decision even though it could have been the best smart logical decision ever.

I'm not saying its right, just that the boss could say it.

I am in agreement that we do our best to make the best decision based on info we have at the time. That still opens the door to a previously best decision becoming a bad decision.

That's just the boss making a different bad decision now 🙂

Originally I was thinking that a portable unit might be the best. An all in one unit, connected to the ducts, easy to install, easy replace. But the mobility is completely unneeded, and the cost is an extra 10% over the Diakin, but offers a 10% discount over the Mitsubishi. But I don't know if it's really meant to run 24/7/365, or if they are really more meant as temporary solutions for a few weeks - so maintaining it could be costly.

The split unit is designed for continuous use, I do need to confirm they are both configured for Nebraska winters - I've learned that these units default design only takes them down to around 10. There are typically addons that get them below that.

I have a portable unit at a client that has been running for 2+ years now. No idea what it is designed for though. But it only cost around $700 so for the cost it works well.

Consumer version I assume? From some place like Home Depot or Lowell's? If I could get a 1 ton unit like that, that might really be the cheapest option 😛
Doesn't seem very business like though.

Yes and who cares what it seems like. It works well and the price point suffices.
