Cost for mini split AC units in Boston, MA

[Haley M.]

Hi everyone, we're considering putting mini splits in our Boston unit for AC only (heat is natural gas). The unit is 600 sq. feet and I know we need an exterior unit of 20,000 BTUs and two indoor units. We're on the top floor with direct roof access. I've gotten a few quotes and I'm in sticker shock for how much it will cost to get these installed. Everyone has been over $10,000. Does this sound reasonable? Does anyone have any other recommendations or resources for mini splits, or is this what I should expect? Thanks in advance!

I'm doing a three unit (about 1,000 sq ft. each) project in JP. It came out to just about $10K per unit. Depending on where your unit is, they may be charging just for the hassle of doing one unit in the city. DM if you'd like some other people to try.
