Range for Costs Associated With A Mini-Split Installation in Rock Island, Illinois
The process and materials associated with installing a ductless air conditioning system is the same no matter the project. However, like anything else the actual total cost will vary on the complexity of the job and labor costs in your area.
Here is a quick guide to help you understand the range of pricing for a mini-split installation throughout the U.S.
A ductless mini-split air conditioning system could cost $2,000 to $14,000.
They run at an average of $3,000 for a 12,000 BTU system. While a one-ton unit with one outdoor and one indoor component at 21 SEER rating runs $1,000 to $4,000 depending on the brand and type of indoor mount.
The cost of installing your system adds an additional $300 to $1,000 or more depending on the complexity of the installation.
In general, ductless AC systems run about 30% more than a new ducted system and double as much as a single window AC.
You may also need to install a concrete pad to mount the exterior unit for an additional cost and a dedicated electrical circuit for the added expense. Older homes may require an upgraded electrical panel costing 1100 to 2500, however, that could be the case for conventional systems as well.

What is a SEER rating and How Does it Affect Cost?
The SEER, or Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, will influence the total cost. The higher the SEER rating the more efficient the unit.
If you are someone that wants to keep their operating costs to a minimum or want to conserve energy then a higher SEER rating is the way to go. The higher ratings translate into lower energy costs but also higher unit prices. These ratings vary from the federally regulated minimum of 13 up to 26+. Trane heat pump mini-splits have ratings as high as 38. So, while picking a unit with higher SEER rating will increase the cost of the installation it will lower the cost of operation over the life of the mini-split AC system
