I would look into getting a slim side discharge condenser that allows for low ambient operation and that also has a compressor crankcase heater. You can also have an aftermarket crankcase heater installed on any compressor. It would just need to be wired in properly. | |

You can get one that is (model dependent) rated to operate to -13 F and I have heard that the real limit is -20 F. Not all mini splits operate this low so if you go with a different manufacture, confirm the limit. Additionally, the unit will offer you the option to heat if necessary. The Mitsubishi M-series efficiency ratings are amazing. mitsubishicomfort.com/products/product-listing/wall-mount | |
