Why it matters

The COSTWAY 12,000 BTU 115V Mini-Split, 22 SEER2 is rated at 12,000 BTU of cooling and 12,300 BTU of heating. On the ENERGY STAR room sizing chart that suits about 450 to 550 sq ft of average room; the maker says up to 750 sq ft. It runs on 115V, so it needs a dedicated household circuit rather than a 240V line.

Its 22 SEER2 ranks 4 of 26 among the mini-splits within about 12% of its capacity that we cover; the most efficient is the DELLA Optima 12,000 BTU 230V at 24. Heating efficiency is 9 HSPF2. The listing doesn't give a low-temperature heating limit, so treat it as a mild-climate heat pump until the maker confirms one. Indoor noise is listed at 23 dB at its quietest setting.

Like most split systems it ships pre-charged for a set line length; connecting it means flaring, pulling a vacuum and opening the valves, a licensed technician's job in most places. It uses R-32 refrigerant, one of the lower-impact A2L refrigerants new systems moved to in 2025.

The listing gives dimensions of 30 inD x 8 inW x 11.5 inH, a shipping or unit weight of 23.6 pounds, a 1,040 W power draw and mini split in the box.
