I was quoted 10k a head unit to install mini-splits in a home in the colorado mountains. I needed 8 head units.
It was nothing but "only rich people are buying these right now so lets cash in" pricing
- alchemist1e9 3y agoFor 8 units? That sounds like good price.
- Loughla 3y agoThat would be $80,000 total?
- bill38 3y ago10k per unit
- happytiger 3y ago8 zone systems from Mitsubishi are 8-10k https://www.acdirect.com/ductless-mini-splits/8-zone-mini-split-ac-systems.html https://www.acdirect.com/ductless-mini-splits/8-zone-mini-sp... 80k is hilarious. That’s a 70k install for pulling lines, charging them and maybe an electrical run and pad. Even if you have to buy two or three systems the price is laughable.
- wil421 3y agoWould a heat pump work? 8 mini-splits sounds like way too. Mini-splits are also the cheaper option, surprised they cost $10k. A heat pump in my area wouldn't be too much more than $10k (excluding duct work).
- amluto 3y agoFind another contractor. I got three heads in the Bay Area for around $8500 total. The only caveat was that this didn’t include patching the walls.
- quesera 3y agoFor that size of a system, ducted is less expensive and more reliable than mini-splits (but it is not always practical to install). A large multi-zone installation (~20 rooms) with all-new duct work and natural gas backup in a major cold-weather US metro can be about $40K.
