I don’t imagine it being quite that inflexible if it became popular, but a replacement would need to be hooked up to refrigerant lines like a mini-split system.

I don’t imagine it being quite that inflexible if it became popular, but a replacement would need to be hooked up to refrigerant lines like a mini-split system. That’s going to be a more expensive install or replacement.
It would be quite inflexible now when it’s custom and there’s no standard for such things.

Also refrigerants keep changing as we discover less harmful ones, and often they are incompatible with the old so tear out the old pipes which otherwise should last a lifetime just because they are contaminated (or the wrong size)
