$15,000 for mini-split system?
Posted on 4/22/23 at 9:20 am

We have a small rental unit with two window units. We are updating the unit, and received two estimates for installing a minisplit system - both around $15,000. Looking online, the costs of the systems run about $2,000. Where is this additional costs going?
Also, has anyone installed these themselves? Difficulty level?
Any other remarks would be helpful!
TIA!

I bought my own unit from Amazon, and got quotes ranging from $700-1500 to install it. $15,000 sounds extremely ridiculous. What area are you in?

You can purchase online 2 Mr. Cool units for about $3000 and they are designed as a diy. You may need an electrician, but I cannot imagine the total, even if you have someone to do it all, being more than $6000. Your quote is quite excessive.

Are you sure you need 3 ton units? If two window units did the job you can probably get smaller units. Costco and You can usually find a decent 2 ton for under $1000 and they have lesser electrical demands.

I paid 4k to install a 2 ton unit last year. Ductless also.
Plenty of companies won't even deal with them.

In 2021 i paid $2500 for a Mitsubishi 1.5 ton mini heatpump. I did the electrical. Just as a reference for you...

Those Daikins are particular abt the qty of coolant you put in. Overcharge or undercharge and they throw a code and don’t work.

Fiancée had a Samsung 2-zone system installed a few months ago, ran about $14,000. HVAC work is going up, I know I will have a whole system to replace in the near future and it will run $15,000 or so.

HVAC prices are overly inflated right now mostly due to Covid causing the parts demand. It’s a bubble that’s going to pop.
Without knowing more details OP it’s hard to say but it seems way over priced yes. Do you have electrical to the outside unit? That shouldn’t be very expensive maybe $500-1000? But still.

Window shakers are the best was to cool small spaces. Most last for ever and when one goes bad, you just go buy another one for less than $500 and replace your self. Mini splits are particular, they have to be installed correctly, even a little off on the unit or drain can cause it leak inside your house.

Thats a little much I got a 12k btu unit installed for 3K by a AC guy and I thought I paid too much. The Mr. Cool's are supposed to be really good. Check them out.

That’s an astronomically horrible quote. We installed a 2 ton one in the fall in about a 500 sqft sunroom for $4k

Me and a buddy installed a Mr Cool ductless 2 years ago and it took us a couple hours. I had an electrician come and run 220 to a disconnect panel. Nothing to it.
