The cost of a Bryant ductless mini-split HVAC system in the Allentown, PA area starts at about $3400 for a single-zone system, and it goes up from there depending on many factors.
Buyer Beware! Purchasing a Bryant Ductless HVAC System Online significantly limits your warranty! To get the most value and long term reliability, it’s best to have your system installed by a trained, authorized Bryant ductless HVAC contractor like us.
Ductless HVAC Components
Ductless HVAC systems are made up of three primary components.
An indoor unit, sometimes called a head or cassette. Indoor units come in a number of profiles to suit the room and your needs, but this is the most common.
An outdoor unit, which is capable of serving as many as nine indoor units!
And some wires and tubes knows as a Line Set, which connects the ductless HVAC outdoor unit to the indoor units.
Single Zone vs. Multi-Zone Ductless HVAC
Some homes have one room or space that never seems to be cool enough or warm enough. In situations like that, a single zone ductless HVAC installation will usually do the trick. That’s where the ballpark starting price of $3400 would apply.
A multi-zone ductless HVAC installation combines one or more outdoor units with two or more indoor units to create the most flexible home comfort solution available to homeowners.
We’ve seen multi-zone ductless HVAC installations run anywhere from $8000 to $25,000 depending on the number of indoor and outdoor units required to cover all the zones in the home.
Possible additional costs
Electrical. These systems require a 240V outlet, which can cost between $200 to $1,000. The price will increase if your home’s electrical panel requires a new 240V circuit. To avoid surprises, securing an estimate before purchasing a new system is always advised.
Equipment pad or stand. Depending on the surface we have to install your outdoor unit on, we like to place the unit on a prefabricated pad, which can run anywhere from $50 to $300. Outdoor units can be mounted on brackets to get them completely off the ground if you live in an area prone to flooding or heavy snow, so be sure to discuss the possible alternatives with us when designing your system.
Ductless or ducted? Sometimes, depending on the solution we design for a homeowner, we might be installing ductwork which we may or may not use as part of a ductless system. Sounds counter-intuitive, but it happens. Sometimes we wind up repurposing some of the home’s existing ductwork, which adds a level of complexity – adding to the labor cost.
Controllers. There are many controller options to choose from with Bryant’s ductless systems, and your preference will impact the cost.
Wall-mounted units come standard with a handheld wireless controller. If you want a wired thermostat that allows remote control through a smartphone app, that can be an additional cost that is directly related to the cost and compatibility of the thermostat with your selected system.
Any additional equipment needed for unique situations. Some homes need a little extra something; this is true for older homes, high-performance homes, and homes in the mountains, or near the water. Some of these homes may require specialized designs and/or equipment, all of which impact the cost of the system.
Bryant Ductless HVAC Systems Grow With Your Family’s Needs
One of the really cool things about Bryant ductless HVAC systems is their flexibility.
You can start with a single or two-zone installation and add indoor units as your family’s needs and budget dictate. Remember, you can power up to nine indoor units with one outdoor unit, so as you think this over, consider what your needs might be in the future.
On the flip side of that, as kids leave for college or you marry them off, you can turn off zones, dramatically reducing energy use and cost for empty nesters.
