Interestingly, and as an aside, I got an advert from Ocean State Job Lots for an $800 mini-split unit with a $400 gift card for OSJL. At the end of the advert it recommends installation by a pro.

I installed one head in the basement for this reason. If my oil boiler goes down for an extended period during a cold streak, I can turn it on to at least prevent a freeze up.
I can control everything from my phone, including my oil heat which gives me piece of mind if I'm away or when my wife calls and says, "how do I turn these things on", LOL!
If I was going to rely on Mini Splits only to heat my house, I would recommend installing multiple units.
