Best large mini-split heat pumps, ranked on official ENERGY STAR specs

Ductless mini-split heat pumps whose official ENERGY STAR cooling capacity is above 24,000 Btu/h, compared on the official certified mini-split record. We score official SEER2, official HSPF2, official EER2 and official COP at 5°F. Official figures above the reference bests (28 SEER2, 13 HSPF2, 16 EER2, 2.6 COP at 5°F) are clamped at those bests so one extreme official rating does not dominate the table. Missing official fields are shown as Not listed and score at the category minimum.

"Not listed" means the official manufacturer specification table we used does not publish that figure. Prices show "Check price" until a retailer feed provides a current price.

A ductless mini-split heat pump uses refrigerant under pressure and a dedicated high-voltage circuit. Installation, line-set work, vacuum, and refrigerant charging should be done by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician following the maker's instructions, the National Electrical Code, and local rules. Several official refrigerants in this catalog, including R-32 and R-454B, are mildly flammable (A2L); do not attempt a refrigerant DIY install. Leave required outdoor clearances, slope the condensate drain, and use a disconnect at the outdoor unit. Official cooling and heating capacities are certified combination ratings, not a guarantee that a unit will heat or cool a given room — size the system with a load calculation. Confirm the current official specification, the indoor head type, and the line-set limits with the maker and the installer before you buy.

Buying guide: how to choose the right large mini-split heat pump

This table is for official capacities above 24,000 Btu/h

Every product here has an official ENERGY STAR cooling capacity above 24,000 Btu/h, including official 30,000, 36,000 and larger combination ratings. Some of those official combinations are multi-zone outdoor units; the ENERGY STAR record does not always label single-zone versus multi-zone in a consistent field, so we do not invent that label. Confirm the number of indoor heads with the maker.

Official ratings are for a certified combination

SEER2, HSPF2, EER2 and COP at 5°F are certified ratings for the listed outdoor and indoor combination. Adding or changing indoor heads can change the official figures. Official cooling capacity is not a substitute for a load calculation, and a large official capacity is not automatically the right unit for a whole house.

What “Not listed” means

If official HSPF2, EER2 or COP at 5°F is missing from the ENERGY STAR record, the field is Not listed and scores at the category minimum. Indoor-head style, zone count, line-set length and sound level are almost always Not listed on this dataset.

How this ranking is calculated

Score = weighted average of normalised specs, out of 10. Full method

Official SEER2The official SEER2 cooling-efficiency rating published on the ENERGY STAR certified mini-split heat pump record, in Btu/Wh. It is the certified combination rating for the outdoor and indoor units shown, not a seasonal bill we measured. Official figures above 28 are clamped at the 28 reference best. Scale: 16 → 28.

30%

Official HSPF2The official HSPF2 heating-efficiency rating published on the ENERGY STAR record, in Btu/Wh. It is the certified combination rating, not a winter heating test we ran. Official figures above 13 are clamped at the 13 reference best. Scale: 8 → 13.

25%

Official EER2The official EER2 cooling-efficiency rating published on the ENERGY STAR record, in Btu/Wh. EER2 is a certified steady-state figure at a stated test condition, not a seasonal measurement we made. Official figures above 16 are clamped at the 16 reference best. Scale: 9 → 16.

20%

Official COP at 5°FThe official coefficient of performance at 5°F published on the ENERGY STAR record. Higher official COP at 5°F means more certified heating output per unit of input at that cold-climate test point. It is a certified laboratory figure, not a test at a house we ran. If the field is blank it is shown as Not listed. Official figures above 2.6 are clamped at the 2.6 reference best. Scale: 1.5 → 2.6.

Frequently asked questions

Do you test these mini-split heat pumps in a lab?

No. Rankings use only figures published on the ENERGY STAR certified mini-split heat pump record, each linked on the product page. We do not publish prices, customer ratings or hands-on test scores.

Are these all multi-zone systems?

Not necessarily. The official ENERGY STAR product type for this dataset is “HP - Mini or Multi Split” for every row, and it does not consistently separate single-zone from multi-zone outdoor units. We group this table only by official cooling capacity above 24,000 Btu/h. Confirm the supported indoor-head count with the maker.

Why clamp official SEER2, HSPF2, EER2 and COP at 5°F?

The reference bests are 28 SEER2, 13 HSPF2, 16 EER2 and 2.6 COP at 5°F. A small number of official records sit above those values. The official figures are still shown on the product page, but the score treats anything above the reference best as the top of the range so one extreme certified rating does not flatten the rest of the table.

Do commissions change the ranking?

No. Amazon may pay a commission if you buy through a Check price button, at no extra cost to you. Commissions never change the order, and no brand can pay for placement.

Why is indoor-head style, line-set length or sound level Not listed?

The ENERGY STAR mini-split heat pump record we used does not include a consistent official field for indoor-head style (wall, cassette, floor or concealed), maximum line-set length, or sound pressure. When those facts are not on the certified record, we show them as Not listed and do not fill the gap from retailer listings or brochures. Confirm the indoor style and the line-set limits with the maker before you buy.
