If this is the case, it would be simple to do the install if the service lines were in that length range. If you had refrigeration gauges and a vacuum pump, evacuate the system, close it up and release the charge from the condenser. Longer lines would necessitate calling a service company to come complete the charge.
If I can ever get a price on these things, I intend buy them and do the installation myself.

If I can ever find the stupid EPA card that I had I'll just buy the refrigerant myself. I wouldn't think we'd need more than the 30' included though. Have you heard anything about reliability on the LGs? I've heard the Mitsubishi commercial units are dang near bulletproof.
