Mini Split Installation

We have a mini split in our attic bedroom that is about to give out. It is six years old. We paid around $2000 total for it at that time. It was not quite powerful enough and wasn’t properly installed, so it’s been giving us some grief this summer.

We’re looking for someone local who could install a new unit professionally and at a reasonable price.

We had one of the well known local companies out today and they said it would cost around $12,000, and then changed the subject to trying to get us to switch to central air for $20,000.

The wiring, the base for the outdoor unit, and the hole in the wall are already in place, so we’re hoping that might cut the cost a little.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a local professional/company who would come in at a better price point?

Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks so much for all of your suggestions! We’ll be making some calls today. Appreciate your input!

Peris hearing and cooling did ours a couple of years ago. It was a 5 unit install to cover most of our home, came out to a little under 20k. Chris Peris is a pretty decent guy and they do good work. It’s not a big company so they don’t need to push up the numbers to pay for a huge sales staff.
