I hadn’t heard about high pressure ducts. Thanks! I’ll look into that. Crazy quote aside, we really weren’t thrilled about head units everywhere.

I’m too poor to buy cheap. I want something that will work well and last and these have a reputation for doing both. 😊

You get what you pay for with those H2i units. I did the same.

You’re getting robbed. Whoever quoted you that post it here so they can be shamed on their social media page if they have one. Ridiculous

I quote them all day long for a Mass Save partner. Should be about 20K tops, before any rebates of $1,250 per 12,000 BTUs

Seems really high. We were getting quotes for $30k for our 3400 sq ft house with 3 outdoor compressors and like 8 heads inside.

I have a two story townhouse of about 1300 sqft. Two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, kitchen, dining room, living room, and half bath downstairs.
About 10 years ago we had a 36000BTU Mitsubishi multi zone ductless unit installed with 4x 9000BTU interior wall units. One each in the dining room, living room, and the two bedrooms.
It keeps the place cool in the summer and warm in the winter unless we get below 20F, then I fire up the pellet stove.
It cost us about $11k. Our installation would have been less expensive, but I had to pay extra in labor to have them run the lines through an interior wall to the second floor instead of on the outside wall because our of our condo complex rules. Normally they’ll just run the lines on the outside wall and cover it with a line set covering that sorta resembles a gutter running on the side of the building. Faster and cheaper.

1700sqft house with whole home Mitsubishi hyper heat ductless pumps with a weird layout was about $30k. That estimate seems extremely high. Talk to multiple contractors on the Mass Save installer list and make sure you’ve had a home assessment.

Yes, that is way too much.
You may want to consider high-pressure ducts - they are small and you can run them just about anywhere you can get a mini-split. We did this at my last house and it worked very well - cheap, too.
I greatly prefer it to having a mini-split head unit hanging around. FWIW.

What brand? How many zones?
I spent $35K to put in a ductless system in the basement and first floor and ducted mini split upstairs in the bedrooms and upstairs washroom in my 1,050 square foot home.
Three total zones. But it was a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat system designed to work even in very cold temps, and those are pricey.

Way too much man
1500 sq ft here and I paid around $10k. We had a family member do the install so I saved a boatload on labor (don't worry, I paid him labor on the side since he did it off-work hours). But 48k is absolutely ridiculous.
Heating for $300/month isn't so bad honestly.

We paid $22k last month. 1400sf house.
upgraded electrical, upgraded whole house back-up generator, tricky install of ductwork (1868 structure), used existing floor vents from our previous (oil) heat, and added more. all included.
Now our Heat (70 degrees) and electric (includes all appliances) is $300/mo. Should be significantly less in summer.
Loan payment is $300/mo but we figure we added equity by upgrading the heating system and feels good to drop the fossil fuel.

Most of the guys will envy of your location because it's great hike for beginners and also to regular hikers.

Packed snow and Microspikes needed all the way. Hope that helps.

Holy shit, did you slap the guy? Go to the guys shop and slap the guy.
I spent less than 10k on my two story 1400sf house. GREE components with a great SEER rating to get money back from MA.
