November weather in Nova Scotia loves to keep us guessing, warm sun by afternoon, near-freezing by nightfall.
When that evening chill rolls in, the natural reflex is to grab the remote and crank the temperature way up to heat the room "faster." The problem? Mini-splits don’t pump out hotter air just because the dial is set higher, they just run at maximum capacity, guzzling peak wattage and driving up your NS Power bill before winter even officially begins.
Mini-splits operate at their highest efficiency when you set it and forget it.
Find your sweet spot (usually 20°C–22°C), keep the fan on Auto, and let the inverter do the heavy lifting steady and slow. You’ll stay comfortable all season without an unwelcome fright on your next electric bill.
What temperature do you keep your mini-split locked at in the fall? Drop your number below.
