How does the Mini Split handle extreme cold?
It got down to 4 degrees here
this morning.
The DuctlessAire Mini Split is
struggling with the cold but still delivering heat.
It goes into defrost mode more during extreme days.
On a cold day like today it
seems to only be able to heat our living area space to the low 60's,
which is acceptable for us. If we had the wood stove installed we
would've built a fire if we wanted things more toasty.

Hi Anna and Mark,
I always wanted to build a 'Russian' fireplace. Huge pile of bricks. Always warm. I have city gas, just cannot seem to burn it quick enough these cold days. I like 75 :). And my furnace just cannot seem to keep up below zero.
