The answer to the price of a new ductless HVAC system is that it can vary significantly depending on several factors. Typically, ductless systems range from around $3,000 to $15,000 for the equipment and installation, but the final cost will depend on the size of your home, the number of indoor and outdoor units needed, the brand and efficiency level, and your local market rates.
Ductless systems are a popular choice for homes without existing ductwork or for adding cooling/heating to specific rooms or areas. They offer flexible zoning, high efficiency, and easy installation compared to traditional central HVAC. However, the upfront costs are usually higher than other options. Getting quotes from multiple local HVAC contractors is essential to find the best system and price for your home.
