This one has wood paneling and drop ceiling tiles throughout the entire house (about 1500 sf - 2 story 3 bed 1 bath). 

One of the splits was a much larger unit (I believe 36000 BTU) that required a panel swap) to accommodate a 4BR/2 Ba SFH.  

I vote for all electric for the following reasons: -Electric appliances and gas appliances are comparable cost wise, If you're building new, you're already installing a new electric drop, meter, panel and wiring throughout the house so incremental circuits should add much cost vs extending your existing gas line and also getting a gas meter-Electric appliances are more energy efficient (although they can sometimes cost more to operate-Electric is more safe than gas in the case of an earthquake-Electric is the future-CA is planning on phasing out gas

I just moved to 1920 single family home in april of 2013 and currently all my properties really nicer mainly because I have the walls down to the studs with new electrical sticking out (not live or even in the panel yet) in what will on be our new kitchen.

I'm wondering how much is it going to cost to separate the HVAC and electricity panel and reconfiguring the lay out and add a kitchen again. 

After emptying the home with many many dumpster trips (this dump had tons of trash), I have done the following repairs: a new floor throughout (some areas had water damage needing sub-flooring repair), 1 new full bathroom (massive dry rot issues), rehabbed counters in bathrooms and kitchen, new appliances, new water heater, new exterior panels (more dry rot issues); new electrical end fixtures like lights, light switches, sockets, etc; and new landscaping around.

Many of these apartments have the mechanicals in unit and the electrical panel in unit.  

We completely rewired one 700 sqft bungalow for about $6K including a new service panel.  

Instead of buying a heat/air window combo unit (which aren't inexpensive on their own) we went with regular window units and the attached electric unit as the source of heat:https://www.amazon.com/DeLonghi-HMP1500-Mica-Panel...Used three of these (1 in the living room, 1 in each bedroom), attached these securely to the walls so they don't "walk" when tenants leave.
