Mini Split Opinion in Seasonal Cottages

Thank you.

I have had mini splits in my seasonal camp for 15 years now. No winterizing whatsoever and never had an issue.

I do recommend you get the hyper heat model. Even though your camp is seasonal you may wish to visit it during the cold winter months. Having guaranteed heat to 15 below zero is real nice option to have when needed. They did not offer hyper heat models when mine were installed and there have been quite a few times over the years I wish I had them…
