Mini Split Brands

Home/Brands

Every brand we track

Fifteen mini split brands, each with its own review: what the lineup covers, whether a homeowner can install it, what the warranty actually requires, and what we have not been able to verify.

Install column: DIY means pre-charged, quick-connect systems a homeowner can commission without a vacuum pump. Pro means the warranty or the refrigerant work assumes a licensed tech. Mixed means part of the catalog is DIY and part is not.
