Why We Built This Site

When we first looked into DIY mini splits, we spent weeks digging through forums, YouTube videos, and contradictory reviews. Some sites were clearly just pushing affiliate links. Others were written by HVAC pros who made DIY sound impossible.

We wanted something different: a straightforward, honest resource that respects the DIY homeowner's ability to learn and do the work themselves — while being upfront about when to call a professional.

Every review on this site is based on real-world research, user feedback, and hands-on experience. We don't get paid by manufacturers, and our recommendations are based purely on value, quality, and DIY-friendliness.

Our Mission

Empower homeowners to take control of their comfort — and their budget — with DIY mini split systems.

Our Values

Transparency

No hidden agendas. We disclose affiliate relationships and prioritize honest assessments over sales.

We always tell you when to hire a pro. Saving money isn't worth it if the install isn't safe.

Community

The DIY HVAC community is incredible. We aim to contribute useful, accurate knowledge back to it.

Accuracy

We fact-check specs, cross-reference user experiences, and update reviews when things change.
