Reply to comment by bigben1677 in Got a quote for a ductless mini split.. $48K for 1300 sq. ft. house. Too much? by EuclidsStairs

Good to know... how many head units did they install? Does your house have multiple floors?

Do you have a basement? Im looking at possibly getting a heat pump, but we dont have a basement which could be a problem as I have been told.

I do have a basement but not sure why it would be a factor. Unless your talking about something besides ductless mini splits.

It could be a ducted ductless, as they are often called

No basement for us. I'm not sure why that's an issue. None of the equipment gets hidden or stored in a basement like a furnace/boiler system. I have an 8 head unit system for 3,900 s/f, and it was $28k in 2018.

Sounds like someone's taking advantage of you i would definitely get other quotes before starting anything. Try getting three quotes never let the other contractors know how much or who gave you a quote good luck.
