The cost of a Samsung ductless mini split installation around Boise, Idaho starts at about $4,000 for a single-zone and the price goes up from there depending on the number of zones you want to condition. A two-zone system might be $8,000 to $10,000 and a four or five-zone set-up can be $20,000 or more. There are a number of factors that figure into the cost of every ductless mini split installation, and we will explain a little more about how each might impact your cost.
Cost of a Single Zone Mini-Split Vs. Multi-Zone
If you are concerned about conditioning just one zone, that means you might only need a one-on-one mini-split configuration; one outdoor condenser and one indoor air handler.
Maybe you are putting an addition on your home and need expensive, messy ductwork installed to connect to your existing system (if the system can handle it.), or maybe you are using ductless as a supplement to your current system. Whatever the case may be, the one-to-one configuration is going to cost in the ballpark of $4,000, depending on what model you decide to install.
You need a multi-zone system if you have multiple areas of your home that need conditioning. For each zone you add to the basic one-to-one, you can add $3,500 to $4,000, once again depending on what model you choose. As these heat pumps have become more effective in cold weather, we’re seeing more and more Idaho homeowners go with ductless mini split heat pumps as a whole-home solution.
A ductless heat pump specialist will be able to design a system for your specific situation whether you need one or seventeen zones (Yes, I have seen 17 zones in a large AirBnB!)
Energy Savings And Rebates For Ductless Mini Splits
Ductless mini splits are designed to be energy efficient, and Samsung features Energy Star Certified systems that specialize in energy efficiency. These models that save energy will help you keep your heating and cooling bills down. One of the worst parts about the winter and summer is having to pay outrageously high utility bills.
Because of the heat transfer process, these systems use to generate warm or cool air, it’s not using as much energy as a traditional system that has to create warm or cool air from scratch. The heat pump technology in Samsung ductless mini splits helps conserve energy and therefore keeps your energy bills down.
Secondly, because these systems are more environmentally friendly and use less energy, rebates are often available, either through your energy provider, the contractor, or the manufacturer. Lots of government programs are now trying to curb the amount of energy we use, and they know that the more energy-efficient products are costly. This is why rebate programs are available. Instead of opting for cheaper, lower efficiency models, these programs offer rebates to knock a few bucks off of the higher cost, higher efficiency models.
What Makes The Mini Splits Different?
There are many different styles and sizes when it comes to the Samsung mini splits, which plays a big factor in the cost. The higher the power (BTUs) the more expensive the unit is going to be.
There are also different styles of mini splits. For example, there is a hanging unit that is mounted on the wall, but there are also cassettes you can insert into your ceiling if you’d prefer that design.
This is where you need to have a professional come look at your situation. A contractor will be able to look at your home, the rooms, and the design to make a recommendation on what style units you should have installed. Every home is a little different, and it’s difficult to guess what style and system is perfect without looking at the house.
Once you know what the best mini-split units are for your home, and how many you will need, you’ll have a better idea of what the actual cost will be.
