Step 2: What Does a Ductless Mini Split Cost?

The price of a ductless mini split depends on how you design and tailor the system to your unique comfort needs.

A mini split can provide supplemental or whole-home heating and cooling. Supplemental use is an attractive and cost-effective option for City #1, ST#1, homeowners who want to improve comfort in one or two spaces.

Whole-home use provides extensive heating and cooling coverage with the perks of zoning.

Pricing is tailored to your specific situation. The cost of installing a mini split unit in one room differs from placing multiple units in two or more rooms. A ductless system can be as extensive or minimal as you need.

When you schedule an in-home consultation with us at HVAC Options, we will give you a cost estimate for installation and explain the other factors that make up the price, including the equipment cost, labor, permits, and requirements specific to your installation.

How Much Does a Ductless Mini Split Cost?

To understand pricing, you must decide whether you want a single-zone or multi-zone system.

A single-zone system consists of an outdoor unit and one indoor air handling unit. It costs about half of what you pay for a multi-zone system but typically heats and cools a single room or small accessory building, such as a detached garage.

A multi-zone system covers more territory in your home but requires an indoor air handling unit for each room you heat and cool. Every unit you add to your multi-zone system increases the price.

Each air handler is associated with a cost, and a multi-unit installation requires more materials, such as refrigerant lines, wiring, and mounting brackets.

Angi, an online home improvement platform, estimates the cost for ductless mini split installation anywhere from $2,000 to $14,500.

Factors Influencing Mini Split Cost

At HVAC Options, we will provide an accurate price after assessing your home heating and cooling needs and comfort goals.
