Recently put in a Bryant mini split in the garage to replace a small ceiling hung electric heater.

I put my amp meter on the old heater and it pulled 20 amps when running. The highest I saw on the mini split was 13 amps, but usually it is running 4-8 amps.

Hard to really compare the two without doing some sort of data logging as the old heater put out around 300 degrees F while running and the mini varies from slightly above room temp to 130F.

Also the mini’s lowest temp is 60 degrees and I used to set the old one at 53 degrees.

Bonus is that I now have AC in the summer!

The unit I chose is supposed to still heat at -20F not sure what kind of devil wizardry is going on to still scrub heat out of those temps!
