No, you should never turn off your mini-split in cold weather. Since mini-splits use heat pump technology to heat and cool your home, they will keep your home comfortable in both the winter and summer. There are a few things you can do to ensure your mini-split stays as efficient as possible throughout the winter, including elevating the outdoor unit off the ground, installing it under some sort of coverage, and turning on its defrost setting. An Tragar Home Services technician can help you implement these tips during the installation process.

Mini-splits function similarly to heat pumps, in that they source warm air from outdoors to heat a home, even on cooler days. On average, mini-splits will work at temperatures as cold as five degrees! In colder regions, you may want to consider equipping your mini-splits with auxiliary or backup heat sources.

Installing a mini split in the winter can help you immediately improve your home’s heating efficiency. Additionally, off-season installation may yield shorter wait times and potential discounts, as demand for HVAC services tends to be lower as compared to peak summer months.

Many models come with advanced inverter technology and features such as a low-ambient kit to ensure optimal heating performance during the winter. Be sure to consult with your trusted Tragar Home Services technician to choose the right system for your climate.
