DIY-ing Our Ductless Heat Pump Install Was Hard, But We Saved $7,000
- •A homeowner successfully DIY-installed a multi-zone ductless heat pump system (5 indoor, 2 outdoor units), saving an estimated $7,000 on installation costs.
- •This personal project highlights the substantial labor costs associated with professional heat pump installations, which can be a significant barrier to electrification for consumers and potentially larger commercial/industrial facilities.
- •The DIY trend, while challenging, demonstrates a consumer-driven effort to overcome high upfront costs for energy-efficient heating and cooling technologies, pointing to a market need for more affordable installation solutions.
