Multi-Zone Mini-Split Systems

One outdoor unit running two to four indoor heads, compared on total capacity, the head sizes in each kit, efficiency and voltage.

A multi-zone system runs several indoor heads from one condenser, so each room gets its own thermostat without a condenser per room. The condenser's total capacity is shared, and the maker lists which head sizes it accepts and the maximum combined capacity of the heads.

Size each head to its room, then check the total against the condenser. Kits that ship with matched heads are simplest; mix-and-match condensers need you to stay inside the maker's compatibility table, line-set lengths and total piping limits.

Start with your situation

Two rooms, one outdoor unit

Dual-zone kits run two heads from one condenser.

Three rooms or a whole floor

Tri-zone kits cover three rooms with their own thermostats.

Four rooms or more

Quad-zone condensers run four heads; check the total against the maker's table.

Before you buy

  • Size each head. Each head should match its own room; the condenser's capacity is shared between them.
