Dang, I need to get one installed. Just dont know who around Portland to trust. Had one estimate and it was like 20 grand for a 4 head install.
Our guy said splits are great for 2 or 3 units, any more a heat pump is more cost effective so that's what we went for. Went with a city recommend installer and they were awesome.
Aren't splits using a heat pump though? Or did you get central air installed? My place has no vents.
Exact same technology, just in different sizes.
Split systems use heat pumps. I think you might be talking about a wall- or ceiling-mounted split system vs a ducted system. It's the same technology for both.
I'm sure it varies a bit by region, but that wouldn't be a crazy price for the NE. HVAC is just expensive these days.
I'd recommend getting at least three quotes. If different companies propose different setups (e.g., all heads vs ducted vs mixed), try to get at least two quotes for each. I ended up getting six quotes due to how much they varied in both price and design. My highest and lowest quotes were more than 20k apart for a <1500 sqft space.
If you have access to a 0% financing program, don't wait too long. Those run out quick because it's such an amazing deal.
Yeah my issue is I have no ducts. My old house has no existing forced air anything. Just sketchy radiant ceiling heat.
I had a similar situation (except baseboard heat instead) and ended up with a mixed system. It's really dependent on layout. I'd be careful with anyone who doesn't take a good look around before giving you a recommendation, unless you have zero room for ducting for instance.
Yeah, At least around here, it seemed like no one was willing to install ductwork. At least based on the few places my dad was calling for his house.
