About GizmoSage

Updated on

GizmoSage publishes carefully researched buying guides, so you can compare products and pick one with confidence.

Right now our guides focus on ductless mini splits for homeowners, from DIY and pre-charged units to cold-climate heating, sizing and install basics, and we add new guides over time.

What we cover right now

Our guides cover DIY and standard mini split heat pumps, picks for garages and bedrooms, BTU sizing and brand comparisons. We explain when a licensed installer is the better call, and we compare models side by side so you can see the trade-offs.

What we do

We read the product details, specs and maker information for every mini split we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.

Then we turn it all into plain guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks. You can read more on our How we research page.

What we don't do

We don't sell mini splits, and we don't install them, and no brand pays us to rank its products.

We don't claim to have tested every product ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.

How we earn money

Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.

That never changes which products we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
