Installation cost
$5,000-15,000 fully installed depending on the number of zones (roughly $3,000-8,000+ for the multi-zone install on top of the equipment). A 2-room (2x1) setup sits near the lower end, a 4-5 room whole-home system near the top. The unit price you see here is hardware only; installation is the larger, separate cost.
A typical range for this system type, for comparison only, not a quote for this unit. The actual price depends on the line-set run, electrical work and access.

Installation & the rules that apply
This is a multi-split. Same F-gas certified-installer requirement and sub-750 GWP refrigerant rule as a single split, applied across a bigger system. Because it touches multiple rooms and routes pipes through the structure, it more often triggers planning or prior-declaration steps, freeholder, landlord or condominium and shared-wall consent, and neighbour distance and noise rules. Heritage and historic-centre restrictions apply to the outdoor unit just as for a single split, but the single shared condenser is often easier to get approved than several separate units.
