Size the exact BTU capacity and tonnage required to heat and cool your ADU, garage conversion, home workshop, or residential space. Calculates annual kilowatt-hour (kWh) utility savings, inverter efficiency gains, and your qualified $2,000 IRA Section 25C Federal Heat Pump Tax Credit.
Engineered specifically for ADUs, converted garages, sunrooms, and home additions. Pre-charged lines allow for fast DIY or contractor setup with ultra-quiet 22 dB sound emission and heating capability down to -13°F.
While DIY line sets allow self-installation, claiming local utility rebates often requires certified startup testing by a licensed HVAC contractor. Access pre-screened commercial and residential HVAC specialists in your metro:

Traditional HVAC systems rely on rough 400–500 sq ft per ton estimates. Mini-split heat pumps utilize variable-speed inverter compressors capable of modulating output between 20% and 120% of rated capacity. For a well-insulated ADU, 20–25 BTU per square foot is standard. For older, uninsulated garages, 30–35 BTU per square foot is necessary to maintain heating setpoints during winter freeze events.
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) allows homeowners to claim up to 30% of project costs (capped at $2,000 per tax year) for qualifying heat pumps that meet or exceed Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) highest tier standards (generally ≥16.0 SEER2, ≥12.0 EER2, ≥9.0 HSPF2). Mini-split heat pumps in cold-climate regions also qualify for local utility energy efficiency rebates ranging from $500 to $3,000 depending on state clean energy programs.
