Is this the reason why they're so expensive?
Just had a 48btu unit installed. 2,000 sqft, 3 - 9k wall units, 1 - 18k ducted unit. Operational down to -22 F.
$20,000 and then a $4,300 rebate and later a $2,000 tax credit. Down right affordable. Would have been even less if new ductwork didn't have to be retrofitted.
There are many rebates for their installation. Check your city, state, federal, and utility for kick backs. That's having a huge effect on demand.
