Daikin 24,000 BTU 19.5 SEER2 Aurora Low Ambient Mini-Split Heat Pump/Air Conditioner

Looking to install a heat pump but you don’t want to lay out the price of a new car or endure weeks of installation headaches? This high-quality mini-split costs a mere fraction of what you’d pay for a traditional heat pump.

It can easily be installed in just one day and it comes with a 12-year manufacturer warranty.
