I can’t imagine it gets much better than Baystate west of Worcester. It’s easily your best bet of those you listed.

I have a single unit on the first floor of my 2200 sqft house. It cools the entire first floor with minimal effort. We still use a window unit upstairs, but will likely install another mini split in the near future. The total cost to buy and have the first one installed was $5800. That is insane.

But all you would have to do is buy your system and have an HVAC person install it. Even with labor costs and a more expensive system, you’d spend a fraction of that price.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but how many zones would you have for your system?

I looked for kicks and found a system for $2289 that has 36k btu as a single zone, and I feel like that would be more than what a 1300 sqft House would need. In what world would it cost an additional 45k in labor to install that??
