What Affects the Price?
Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately for your project

Larger rooms need more powerful units. A 3,500W unit costs less than a 7,000W unit.
Installation Complexity
Long pipe runs, difficult mounting positions, or electrical upgrades add to costs.
Brand Choice
Premium brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi) cost 30-50% more than budget options but are more efficient.
Seasonal Demand
