I’m not sure how to compare cost to heat vs cool as they are very different, but the mini splits are generally much more efficient heating than electric heat or oil, which is why there is the push with rebates, etc. The a/c technology hasn’t changed all that much in decades; it is the advancements in the heat pump technology that is the real advancement and, in my view, the biggest advantage of the mini splits.
That said, my experience is limited to the Mitsubishi and Fujitsu mini splits with the “hyper heat” (ie low outside temperature) models, and am not familiar with this brand.
