I disagree on the empty bedroom. You should be able to turn that unit off without ill effects elsewhere. That is one of the advantages of minisplits.

One other trick--the thermometer for a minisplit is up in the unit (7-8' off the floor!). This can create temp control problems. If it does, you can buy a separate thermostat. It's pricey, but it was worth it for one of our rooms.

Stay toasty!
So far, I've found the heat to work much better when all the units are on. I just leave the smaller heads on the lowest settings.
