This is the sixth heating season with our mini-split heat pump system in the cold climate of Mid-Michigan. We sold our house and are getting ready to move, so I made one last video about our system after calculating the savings. Overall, this system saves us $958 per heating season compared to our LP boiler. Over six years, that's a total of $5748! We only paid $4100 to have it installed, so it paid for itself in about four years.


We did have two service issues over the years however. The first one was a bad, leaky indoor coil. It was covered by the manufacturer's warranty, so it didn't cost anything out of pocket. The second issue was a dirty coil which needed to be cleaned. We paid an $85 service call to have the coil cleaned, but you could buy the cleaner yourself and save the money of the service call.

If you think you might want to try to install one of these systems yourself, instead of calling a contractor to install it, you can buy a complete system and install it yourself: https://amzn.to/36Rc8L5
