This memo analyzes the potential installation of ductless heat pump air conditioning units versus typical window units for an orange campus. Ductless heat pumps that are 36,000 BTU with 15 units installed would cost $27,000 but save $2,592 annually in electricity costs compared to 12 typical 18,000 BTU window units at a cost of $20,000 saving $1,080 annually. The ductless units would pay for themselves in around 2.7 years and have advantages such as easy removability and better temperature control.
