How to read the quantities
The line-set allowance is 25 linear ft. × $38 = $950. One equipment allowance × $2,450 = $2,450; together those product lines total $3,400 before mounting, labor and commissioning.
What the example includes—and leaves out
Record mounting surfaces, access and the proposed line-set route. A 25-foot illustrative allowance is only useful when it corresponds to an agreed path.
Outside this scope: No electrical service upgrade, new structural support, long-route allowance beyond 25 feet, wall restoration or unlisted permit fees.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Is a mini-split estimate just an equipment price?
No. Locations, route, mounting, electrical readiness, installation and commissioning also need defined scope.
Can I use the example line-set length on my job?
Measure the proposed route. The 25-foot quantity is fictional and should be replaced with the actual takeoff.
