Placement of Minisplit Heads

Sarah_Wiser | Posted in Energy Efficiency and Durability on

I purchased a 27k btu mini split with 2 heads, a 9k and an 18k, for my chalet home. I planned on putting the 18 in the open bedroom above and the 9 in the dining area but unsure if that is most efficient. Is that best or should I swap them?
