Mini-splits come in a few important flavors, and the right one depends on your climate and goals. btuwise’s type guides explain each plainly: the mini-split heat pump that both cools in summer and heats in winter from one system; cold-climate and hyper-heat models that hold their heating capacity well below freezing; and inverter systems, whose variable-speed compressors deliver the efficiency, steady comfort and quiet running the whole category is known for. Each guide points you to the sizing calculator and the brands that lead in that category.
