Technology is moving pretty fast for Mini-Splits. Do your homework.

If you live where cooling is the main issue, SEER ratings should be important to you.

If you live where heating is the main issue, SEER is not as important to you, instead you should look at HSPF ratings. (HSPF = Heating Seasonal Performance Factor).

In my experience many salesmen and sales sites don't seem to grasp this important distinction. Educate yourself.
