Obviously, this type of equipment will be more of an initial investment than your traditional HVAC system, but I can tell you that over the years, more and more people are starting to come around to this type of heating and cooling system, and NOBODY has complained about operating costs with these mini-splits.

Hey Victor,
Please don't take anything I'm saying here personal...I'm not trying to give anybody a hard time that's making a living at this stuff. I'm just curious, and would like more data than typical sales praise, that's all.
Just out of curiosity, what is the typical install cost of a ductless heat pump...lets say, for a house of 1500 sq/ft? I think my house is 1800...but that might include the garage, not sure. Now, not necessarily as a single heat source...but like they advertise around here, as "supplemental heating" in the "shoulder seasons".
I've talked to a few people, and they seem to spend around $3500 having one of these things installed...plus or minus of course.
And, what kind of lifespan to these units have?
Just curious,
Rem
