About MiniSplit Match
Your trusted guide to finding the perfect mini-split HVAC system
Our Story
MiniSplit Match was created by an HVAC professional who spent 15+ years at a leading HVAC distributor helping contractors design and select mini-split systems for their projects.
After thousands of system specs, our founder experienced the same frustrations repeatedly: hours spent cross-referencing compatibility charts, equipment orders arriving incompatible, callbacks from installers who received wrong components, and the constant pressure to spec systems faster while ensuring accuracy.
The breaking point: A major contractor order where a distribution box was incompatible with the selected outdoor unit—a mistake that cost days of delays, hundreds in return shipping, and significant damage to the customer relationship. The manufacturer's compatibility chart had been updated months earlier, but the information wasn't easily accessible.
The solution: Build a tool that eliminates these mistakes entirely. MiniSplit Match validates every component combination in real-time against current manufacturer specifications, making it impossible to configure an incompatible system.
Real-World Experience Built In
This isn't a generic software tool built by developers unfamiliar with HVAC. Every feature—from the compatibility engine to the sizing calculator to the distribution box logic—was designed by someone who lived these problems daily for over 15 years.

Who created MiniSplit Match?
MiniSplit Match was created by an HVAC professional with 15+ years of experience designing and selling mini-split systems at a major HVAC distributor. The tool was built to solve real-world compatibility problems encountered daily—incompatible equipment orders, time-consuming manual verification, and costly mistakes.
How It Works
Choose Your Brand
Select from Fujitsu, LG, or Mitsubishi. Each brand has unique compatibility rules, distribution box requirements, and equipment limitations—our tool knows them all.
Configure Your Zones
Specify each zone's requirements including capacity needs and preferred unit types. Our simple sizing calculator can estimate BTU requirements, or enter your own if you have them.
Distribution Validation
For multi-zone systems, the tool automatically determines if distribution boxes are required and validates port capacity limits—one of the most common sources of incompatibility errors.
Review Compatible Systems
See all compatible outdoor units ranked by performance and efficiency. Every option shown is guaranteed compatible with your configuration—no guesswork, no mistakes.
Key Features
Real-Time Compatibility Validation
Our compatibility engine cross-references manufacturer specifications for thousands of component combinations. If a configuration violates any compatibility rule, you'll know immediately—not after you've ordered equipment. Learn how it works.
Simple Sizing Calculator
Quick sizing estimates based on square footage, room type, and climate zone. Accurate enough for most residential and light commercial applications without complex calculations.
Compare Across Manufacturers
See equipment options from Fujitsu, LG, and Mitsubishi side-by-side. Each brand has different strengths—our tool helps you match the right brand to each application. See detailed brand comparisons.

Why Compatibility Matters
For Contractors
Incompatible equipment orders cost 2-3 days in delays, return shipping fees ($50-200), and customer frustration. Even one mistake can eliminate your profit margin on a project. Our tool prevents these costly errors before they happen.
For Homeowners
Wrong equipment means installation delays, potential system failures, and thousands in wasted costs. Our tool ensures you order the right system the first time, avoiding expensive mistakes and project delays.
For Building Professionals
Specifying incompatible equipment in plans leads to change orders, delays, and liability issues. Validate designs before submitting specs to ensure smooth project execution.
