Let us not forget you are paying for their expertise as well as all the required things to have, run, operate, and make a profit in a business. Have you noticed how much everything has gone up in price that it takes to operate a business?
If you are buying a good name-brand mini-split and it is more than 12,000 btu I bet your guess on price of equipment is off by at least $1k. |
We are talking a 10000 BTU pre charged. My breaker box is also 10 feet away from the install location.
I think you did hit the nail on the head. They don’t really want to do them because they make more doing something else.
