What this calculator estimates
Estimate ductless mini-split installation cost from zones, equipment, labor, electrical work, permits, removal, rebates and expected energy savings.
How to use it
Enter Indoor zones; Equipment cost per zone ($); Installation labor per zone ($); Electrical upgrades ($); Permits and inspections ($); Old equipment removal and patching ($); Rebates and tax incentives ($); Estimated annual energy savings ($). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
Equipment and labor are multiplied by the number of indoor zones. Electrical, permits and removal are added; incentives are subtracted and net cost is divided by annual savings for payback.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Indoor zones | 3 |
|---|---|
| Equipment cost per zone ($) | 2200 |
| Installation labor per zone ($) | 1400 |
| Electrical upgrades ($) | 1200 |
| Permits and inspections ($) | 350 |
| Old equipment removal and patching ($) | 700 |
| Rebates and tax incentives ($) | 2500 |
| Estimated annual energy savings ($) | 900 |
| Estimated net mini-split installation cost | $10,550.00 |
|---|---|
| Gross project cost | $13,050.00 |
| Equipment and zone labor | $10,800.00 |
| Rebates and incentives | $2,500.00 |
| Simple payback period | 11.7 years |
Important limitations
Capacity, line-set length, wall construction, condensate drainage, climate, electrical service, brand, efficiency and incentive rules affect quotes.
