Are you talking about Mitsubishi or some other manufacturer? A/C only or heat pump? I only priced Mitsubishi and Daikin for my 3 story with 5 indoor units. I used Mr. Slim's big brother the City Multi heat pump type and the price was 22K installed with a suplemental heater on the garden level unit (As an architect that sometimes specifies these systems I was given preferential pricing direct from Mitsubishi). Though contractors are slow and therefore more willing than ever to sharpen their pencil its a little more difficult to shop Mitsubishi around because to install (or even purchase the units) you must be certified having taken Mitsubishi training, purchased mitsubishi equipment as well as diagnostic software. If you're doing the same as I did, you've got an unbelievable price.

Our HVAC guy is charging us $19500 for 7 units installed in 3 floors. AC only. Original bid was ~$22K in the darkest days of current construction slowdown and our GC negotiated it down for us.
Good luck.

I paid 16k for standard AC with two compressors and air handlers. Sounds pretty good to me.

I paid less than that for a Mitsubishi Mr. Slim Split Heat Pump/AC unit, though only on 1 floor, 2 rooms. I am a general contractor, and had one of my subs (A&W Cooling) install the unit, then I had my electrician wire it up. Total cost for install & wiring was $10,000, I dont think a little more piping should raise it past $12, 13K, you can call and speak with Christy, tell them Al Rosario sent the recommendation. I can be reached also if you have any questions, A&W's # is (718) 965-0100 Thanks.

I used Mr. Slims on my two lower floors. The bottom floor was a triple blower inverter system (heat/cooling) and then on my parlor floor was a 22.8kBTU cooling only unit.
i think my overall cost was around $16k installed a few yearas back (2003).
Incidentally i had tried to sell my 22.8kBTU unit since i now have retrofited for the top three floors (including parlor) a Daiken system.
However, sadly no takers. Guess it will collect dust in my basement for a while - too bad. Great unit.
