Heck of a Mini Split Deal

That said, my experience is limited to the Mitsubishi and Fujitsu mini splits with the “hyper heat” (ie low outside temperature) models, and am not familiar with this brand.

Mini Splits are good, for electric. But Oil and Propane is still cheaper to run.

Order of cost to run

Wood
Oil
Propane
HeatPump
Electric BaseBoard

But I may end up with Solar eventually. Then that puts HeatPump back up on top.
Or if you have electricity way cheaper than Eversource.
