Interested in upgrading to ductless mini split heat pump air conditioning, but wondering about the cost of the investment, read on for some considerations.
The cost of a ductless HVAC air conditioning system vary significantly based on a number of factors. Just as each home, and homeowner are unique; every ductless system is different. The size of the equipment (outdoor and indoor units come in multiple sizes), the type and manufacturer of equipment (cooling only vs cold climate, premium brand vs off-brand—not all components are created equally), the configuration and number of indoor “zones” that the system will entail, as well as the distance, path, or routing of linesets that connect the outdoor to indoor units.
As ductless mini split heat pumps are all powered by electricity, installation often requires some electrical system modifications and upgrades. Disconnects at the outdoor unit and dedicated circuits at the main panel to name some common wiring items. Whether your HVAC contractors is licensed and able to do the wiring with in-house electricians, or hires subcontractors affects both price and installation schedule.
Another factor to take into consideration is permitting. Many municipalities require multiple permits (mechanical, building, electrical to name a few), with some permits costing hundreds of dollars. With permits comes the cost of having properly credentialed tradesmen standing inspections.
In our area of New England (Middlesex County, Suffolk County) one could expect to spend about $5,500 for a basic one-zone ductless system. Multi-zone systems can range from $16,000 to upwards of $40,000 depending on installation scope and electrical system upgrades required.
