What mini-split install cost depends on

Lineset length, electrical, wall type, number of heads. Free estimate.

A single head on a garage conversion is not the same job as three heads through a plaster Victorian. We estimate on site.

Repair vs replace is math: remaining life, refrigerant type, duct condition, and how the house actually uses the system.

Nobody can price mini split installation cost honestly from a photo of the outdoor unit. We say that on the phone.

Diagnostic is $69. Install estimates are free in-home with load calculation. We do not quote compressors or full systems over the phone.

We map mini split installation cost to the actual failed part or design limit. Age of the system is a data point, not the diagnosis.

You approve any repair after the findings are written down. Diagnostic visits are a flat $69. New installation estimates are free in-home with a load calculation — not a number invented from square footage on Zillow.

The cheapest AC on Craigslist plus a “we’ll figure ducts later” install is how upstairs rooms never cool.

A company that skips testing on mini split installation cost will skip it on the next call too. We would rather lose a job than install the wrong thing.

OTTER HVAC is based at 2939 Santos Ln, Walnut Creek. Orinda, Clayton, and Lafayette are regular routes, along with the rest of our listed East Bay cities. Hours are 7am–5pm, seven days a week. We do not advertise 24/7 because we do not staff a night shift.

Inland heat (Pleasanton, Livermore, Concord) and marine air (Alameda, Daly City) are different loads. A note written for Orinda is not automatically right for a fog-belt house. We treat them that way.
