The sticker price is the beginning, not the total. This estimates what your setup costs to own over 5 years: unit, delivery, electrical work, permit, and electricity at your local rate.
| Unit | |
| Delivery | |
| Electrical work (one-time) | |
| Permits (one-time) | |
| Electricity (5 yrs) | |
| Upkeep (5 yrs) | |
| Monthly electricity |
Chiller note: compressors cycle rather than run continuously. We model your entered kW at a 40% duty cycle across the hours you set — real-world monthly cost for most home chillers lands between $10–45. A good insulated lid can roughly halve chiller runtime.
How these estimates work. Electrical and permit figures are typical US ranges compiled from contractor cost guides and manufacturer install manuals; your quote may differ — always get a licensed electrician's number before ordering. Electricity is computed as power × hours × sessions × your rate. This tool is independent: it doesn't favor any brand, and we earn nothing from your inputs. See methodology.
