I know we need more info from contractors and we'll ask for sure.  One question is about reassigning where the mini-split heads go.  We have 4 or 5 heads, assuming they can go anywhere, maybe we can put a couple downstairs to get A/C down there.  We just don't want it to look out of place in 200 yr old home.
     The other easy fix is to put up shades to block sun in first place and keep house from heating up so much.  I bet a little of that will go a long way.
     I get the point of heat going up and if a/c is only upstairs, then risk is the units will always be running.  But, wouldn't whole house seem more comfortable if the humidity is reduced thru a/c?  Even if temp is warmer downstairs, if overall the air is dryer, wouldn't we be able to tolerate it better?  Or, is it still the same, the a/c units would be running & running?  We could always program mini-split to be on only certain times of day too.
     FWIW, we have solar panels on roof with room to add more.
