Many of our friends have had mini splits installed in the past few years. All of them are happy with their purchase. Some of the nuisances… installers are fleecing the fuck out of folks in the past couple years.

Had one friend get an install with a compressor and 3 head units 3 years ago, and pay 8k installed. Had another friend put a compressor and 4 head units in this year to the tune of 22k. The later had a monthly electric bill at $600 on a sub 2000 sq ft house.

I’m holding out for the time being as the demand is making the install price of these things insane. Installers are fleecing the shit out of the consumer due to tons of folks jumping on the bandwagon all at once.

I’ve spent about $2500 in fuel oil this year with steam heat. I’d love to switch that to a wood stove and mini-splits, but until the mini-split price goes down I’m sticking to the ole oil and a couple window AC units.
