36,000 BTU Mini Splits

Shop 36,000 BTU (plus 30,000 BTU) mini splits at Home Outlet Direct. Depending on the brand, a 36,000 BTU system covers roughly 1,400 to 1,800 sq ft, which suits great rooms, small homes, or several rooms at once.

The 36,000 BTU number is the total system capacity of the outdoor unit. With a single-zone system it can cool one large space. With a multi-zone system it can be split across several rooms, where each indoor head is sized for its own room. Between sizes? Round up. A slightly larger unit runs efficiently at partial load, while an undersized one runs constantly.

This collection includes systems from MRCOOL, Senville, Daikin, and Pioneer. Compare single-zone mini splits, design your own system with the Mini Split Bundle Builder, and add the right mini split line sets for your install.
