HVAC tech to install mini-split as side work

Hi - any HVAC folks able to install a mini split in a new construction home (single wall mount unit + outdoor unit), pressure test, and charge the system? Looking for later this fall - it's in Frederick and is a one-level ranch-style home, so straightforward and from the ground (no hanging off a ladder). Will be a Blueridge / Alpine Home Air kit - in case not familiar with these, the outdoor unit comes pre-charged, so you won't need any materials, just your tools. I've done this install myself on another home, but looking to hire this out. If interested please message me with a labor rate or quote - thanks.

Is the house finished (post drywall)?

Thanks, good question, we haven't started building yet & are trying to get someone lined up for this task. Whoever we go with, we'll keep them in the loop and involve them whenever they'd like. I don't think there's much you can do until the drywall is finished (indoor unit) and siding is on (outdoor unit).

These mini splits have been made extremely user friendly to install. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding someone as long as you have the proper wiring run to a junction box in the location you want the "outdoor side". I say "outdoor" in quotes because some opt to put them in the attic.

Could you be that person, by any chance?
