Ductless mini split AC & heat pumps · buyer's guide
Inverter cooling and heating in one wall unit, a SEER2 18 efficiency rating and quiet operation under 29 dB — Albott has become one of the most searched ductless mini split ranges. We lined up three standout systems: a 12,000 BTU single-room unit, a 24,000 BTU model for large spaces and an Easy DIY split, so you can choose the right size and check today's price in a click.
Why people choose them
One heat-pump system handles cooling, heating, dehumidifying and fan modes from 61°F to 90°F, and keeps working in extremes from 5°F to 122°F.
An advanced inverter heat pump rated SEER2 18 delivers strong airflow while trimming energy use and electricity costs — comfort without the running-cost spike.
Running below 29 dB, the indoor unit stays quiet enough for bedrooms, home offices and workspaces where noise would be a distraction.
Control it from the app or remote with WiFi, child lock, sleep mode and a 24-hour timer, plus a self-cleaning function and removable filters for easy upkeep.

Buying guide
A ductless mini split puts a compact indoor unit on your wall and a compressor outside, linked by a slim refrigerant line — so you get room-by-room cooling and heating without ductwork. Albott has become a popular name in the category by pairing an inverter heat pump with a SEER2 18 efficiency rating, WiFi control and quiet operation at an accessible price. The three systems on this page cover different jobs — a single room, a large open space and a DIY-friendly install — but share the same core design. Here's what to weigh up before you buy.
Because it's a heat pump, one Albott system both cools and heats: it moves heat out of the room in summer and pulls warmth in during winter, so you don't need a separate furnace or window AC. All three models offer cooling, heating, dehumidifying and fan modes with a 61°F–90°F range, a 24-hour timer and a sleep mode, and they're rated to keep running in conditions from 5°F all the way to 122°F.
Whichever unit you pick, most Albott mini splits are built around the same core ideas:
The differences come down to size and installation. The 12,000 BTU model runs on standard 115V and suits a single room up to 750 sq. ft. The 24,000 BTU model steps up to 208–230V power and covers up to 1,550 sq. ft. for large or open-plan spaces. The Easy DIY Series keeps the same 12,000 BTU output but ships with a pre-wired indoor side and a vacuum-free outdoor unit to simplify a self-install.
For a bedroom, office or single living area, the 12,000 BTU AC & heater is the natural starting point — it runs on an ordinary 115V outlet and covers up to 750 sq. ft. For a large room, a big open-plan area or a small commercial space, step up to the 24,000 BTU system, which covers up to 1,550 sq. ft. on 208–230V. And if you'd rather install it yourself and avoid a full HVAC vacuum-down, the Easy DIY Series 12,000 BTU is pre-wired and vacuum-free.
Installation is the biggest practical difference between the standard models and the Easy DIY Series. The standard 12,000 and 24,000 BTU units follow the usual mini-split routine — mounting the indoor unit with the supplied template, connecting the line set, and vacuuming down the lines, which is why manufacturer guidance recommends an HVAC technician (or a confident DIYer with a vacuum pump and gauges) for a leak-free result. The Easy DIY Series is built to skip that: its indoor side comes pre-wired and the outdoor unit is designed to be vacuum-free, and its sealed quick-connect fittings use O-ring mating surfaces rather than flared joints to reduce leak points. That model uses R32 refrigerant (GWP 675), which runs on a small charge. Across the range, the outdoor compressor and indoor fan are noticeably quiet even at higher fan speeds, cold-air output is strong, and the included insulation helps limit condensation. One installation tip worth planning for: the signal/power cable can be a touch shorter than the refrigerant tubing, so factor that into where you site the outdoor unit for the cleanest run.
Sizing rule of thumb: as a rough starting point, a mini split needs roughly 15–20 BTU per square foot, so 12,000 BTU comfortably suits a room up to about 750 sq. ft. and 24,000 BTU up to about 1,550 sq. ft. High ceilings, lots of sun or an open floor plan push you toward the larger unit.
Albott packs the core mini-split benefits — inverter efficiency, combined cooling and heating, WiFi control and quiet operation — into systems that cost less than most name-brand alternatives. Choose on size and install: the 12,000 BTU for a single room, the 24,000 BTU for large spaces, or the Easy DIY Series if you want to fit it yourself.

Good to know
Yes. Every model is a heat pump, so it offers cooling, heating, dehumidifying and fan modes with a 61°F–90°F range. It's designed to keep working in conditions from 5°F to 122°F, which makes it a genuine year-round system rather than a summer-only AC.
The 12,000 BTU models (standard and Easy DIY) cool and heat spaces up to about 750 sq. ft., while the 24,000 BTU model covers up to about 1,550 sq. ft. Rooms with high ceilings, lots of glass or an open layout may need the larger unit.
The standard 12,000 and 24,000 BTU units generally call for an HVAC technician because the lines need vacuuming down. The Easy DIY Series is made for self-install: the indoor unit is pre-wired and the outdoor unit is vacuum-free, so many owners fit it in a few hours with basic tools.
The indoor unit is rated to run below 29 dB, which is quiet enough for bedrooms and home offices. Buyers frequently note that both the indoor fan and the outdoor compressor stay unobtrusive even at higher fan speeds.
Yes. All three are WiFi-enabled and can be controlled from the app or the included remote, with extras like child lock, sleep mode and a 24-hour timer. A self-cleaning function and removable filters help keep maintenance simple.
The Easy DIY Series uses R32 refrigerant (GWP 675), which runs on a small charge. Across the range, Albott lists a 5-year compressor warranty and a 7-year parts warranty — always confirm the current warranty terms on the product page before buying.
