What is the disadvantage of mini split?

The primary disadvantage of mini splits is their cost. They are generally priced around traditional AC systems. Correct sizing of the system is important. Over-sized or incorrectly installed equipment often result in short-cycling; wasting energy and unable to properly control the temperature or humidity.

Do mini splits decrease home value?
