Early estimated cost range
NZ$2,500–$6,000+
Indicative range for common residential installations; unit capacity, layout, electrical work, and installation complexity vary by home.
Indicative installed cost
This early placeholder uses NZ$2,500–$6,000+ as a broad planning range for common residential systems. Multi-room systems and difficult installations can cost substantially more.
Choosing the right system
Capacity should reflect room size, insulation, glazing, climate, and how the space is used. A cheaper unit that is poorly sized may not deliver good comfort or value.
Installation considerations
Indoor and outdoor unit placement, pipe length, drainage, switchboard capacity, access, noise, and coastal conditions can all affect the installed price.
