@TechConnectify hehe, I know, I was pulling your leg I imagine the investment would be at least an order of magnitude higher for even a cheaper mini split.

Btw. Here, across the pond, blue or red (16A - 32A) beefy 1-3 phase IEC 60309 sockets seem to be rather common in garages and workshops. Power tools and car charges usually come with those plugs attached from the factory.

I thought that this was an international standard, are those plugs/receptacles even a thing in the US?

@TechConnectify beep-boop, anomaly detected, resistive electric heating instead of a heat pump. What is going on?
