HVAC or Minisplit System

[Dominic Gilbert]

Hello,

I recently just purchased a property that we will be doing a live in flip with. It was built in the 1950s and does not have AC and has baseboard heaters. My goal would be add AC and most likely remove baseboard heaters. The home is 2800 Sqft and hoping to sell around $800k price range once complete. 

My question is, will adding minisplits over HVAC system reduce the ROI? Minisplits are much cheaper but I'm worried that they will not have as much of a return verse getting a HVAC system installed with all duct work.

HVAC will be approx. $30k with all duct work and Minisplit system would be $15k-$20k. These are rough numbers, but would it be worth doing an HVAC system or is a minisplit system okay to move forward with?

This is in Denver, CO.

I would personally recommend going with the full central air system. In a house of that price range people will view the minisplits as cheap even if it is just as effective. Also for only 10k more I think that central air does do a better job
