Mini-split comparisons

Head-to-head comparisons between specific systems, built from certified AHRI data rather than marketing material. Where a manufacturer's published figure and the certificate disagree, we show the certified number and note the difference.

The comparisons worth reading are usually the ones between tiers of the same brand rather than between brands — the gap between a manufacturer's value line and its premium line is frequently larger than the gap between two brands at the same tier. Several brands hide a system rated only to +5F inside an otherwise strong range.

If the pairing you want is not here, the comparison tool will build it from any two systems in the catalog.
