Mini split air conditioners are energy efficient and quiet. There are heat and cool options available on most models, making them ideal for year-round comfort. Our multi zone mini splits allow you to control the individual temperature of multiple rooms in your home. Inverter technology allows the AC units to scale production up and down depending on the needs of the room, making this type of air conditioner especially energy efficient. Models range from 7,000 to 60,000 BTUs.
