Features (Mini Split Air Conditioner Buying Guide)

Mini split ACs come with various convenient features:

Programmable Timer: Program your mini-split to turn on or off up to 24 hours in advance. For example, set it to turn on right before you get home from work—you'll walk into a cool home without running your AC all day.

Remote Control: A common feature is a remote control that makes changing indoor unit settings simple. Most models come with a remote since indoor units are hanging on a wall or ceiling.

Adjustable Airflow: In some models, you can adjust airflow on the remote. With others you manually move louvers to direct cool or warm air throughout your space. You can also look for louvers that swing automatically to direct airflow up and down.

Washable Air Filter: An air filter catches unwanted allergens and particles before they enter your home. Look for one that can be washed and replaced to save on replacement filters.

Automatic Restart: In the event of a power failure, mini-splits automatically resume operation in the last programmed setting once power is restored. This function not only protects the compressor, but it also prevents circuit breaker damage.

Minimum Heat Operation: In models with heat, set this mode and your heater will maintain a temperature to ensure your room doesn’t get too cold (typically around 50 degrees F).
