mini split ductless

[Tobybill]

what would a pro charge to install a 9k btu mini split ductless system? the system would consist of a single head unit and roughly 30 feet of line, 15ft x 2. straight forward installation. Thank you.

To many variables. Location, brand, efficiency, and maybe building permit. Take a couple of bids.

I am looking for a rough labor estimate, excluding the unit itself. no building permit required. thank you.

Not gonna happen. Possibly if there was someone from your area and regularly familiar with prices in your area. Other wise 2k to 12k is gonna be the range.

Why labor only? Buy the mini split from a dealer, do not buy a unit on line. You will not get a warranty worth anything and most techs will not want to install an "on line" purchase.
If you're handy, some mini splits can be installed by yourself, but if problems arise, you're stuck.
Florida requires a permit for HVAC replacement or new work.

Labor only, we have not chosen the unit. I am having a professional do it just before I get some estimates I want a benchmark to go by. Thank you.

Another thought... hopefully you can find a service tech to install it. Seems most of the HVAC companies around SoCal
are just interested in selling new systems.

When it comes to mini splits very few are willing to repair them. 'Just junk it, we'll install a new'

With more and more of these mini's in service it would seem actual Repair companies could be a viable business.

Thoughts ?

If you're concerned about installation costs I would suggest a mr cool DIY mini split. You can find one on these guys website for a decent price and they have long term warranties: https://mrcoolhvacsupply.com/

Very few Installers will install any hvac system that is customer bought. Maybe someone off Craigslist you get what u paid for. Don't expect and type of warranty.

A professional would typically charge anywhere from $2,000 to $4,000, depending on your location, the complexity of the job, and the contractor’s rates. This price would usually include labor, materials like the line set, electrical wiring, and any necessary permits. Since your setup sounds pretty simple (no major obstacles or complicated runs), it should fall on the lower end of that range, but it’s always a good idea to get a few quotes to compare. Be sure to ask if he quote covers everything, including testing and ensuring the system works properly, so there are no surprises later!
