How to choose between them

A 'heat' label on a window or wall unit often means a resistance heater. These list heat-pump heating, which uses far less power, with a resistance strip on some PTACs for very cold days.

Room heat pumps stop heat-pump heating at higher outdoor temperatures than mini-splits; check each maker's cut-off.

Rankings follow the rule and order stated above, using makers' published specifications and listed prices. How we research · Disclosure
