Cant you get a smaller unit that only works for the upstairs? I mean I realize you would have to get a whole new entire system.

Costco and a few other places offered a $2800 dollar installation, which included a California state rebate, so the price was actually $3500. I thought that was fairly exorbitant because I found my unit on sale online for $1275 shipped (which included all of the necessary parts). Since we had ongoing renovations happening at that time, I had my contractor install it. Little did I know that the unit needed to be purged and charged before cooling properly, something my contractor didn't know, either. So, I called about a dozen A/C contractors and NONE of them would service my unit because they didn't personally install it. It was the most frustrating issue I've ever had to deal with (and I've dealt with an enormous amount over the years). Finally, my contractor's A/C guy offered to do it for $800.00. So in the end, I spent about $2,700, which is better than $3,500.00 but for all the hassle I had to deal with the time involved (there was about a 3 week wait after the unit was installed), I'd have just as soon paid $3,400 and be done with it. Good luck! |
FWIW, this is the unit I purchased. It also required a drain hose, a 25 foot 1/4 LL 3/8 SL Lineset w/ Flare Fitting for Ductless Mini Split and 25 Ft 14 AWG 4 Conductor Ductless Mini Split Shielded Stranded Wire Control Wire. Those items were an additional $150.00 dollars.

Zoning and closing dampers with a system is a lot different than closing a register off. You can close off up to 10% of your airflow before causing problems with the extra static pressure. Zone systems are designed to open and close dampers based on demand. But there will be a "dump" zone, where the excess air will go when it is not needed. A lot of zone systems also are on two-stage equipment where the system can check the demand and maybe only bring on the first stage of the compressor and fans, then ramp up as needed if the demand increases. |
Ductless Mini Splits are a very very good way to go if you can.
