How much does a heat pump cost if you are just replacing the main units and using existing ducts. . .for, say, a 2400 sq ft house? 1200 on each of two stories.

I think my pops is getting JACKED.

[toyman2]

inside coil should also be changed.
id guess $2-3500 depending on what he was getting could be more depending if it was a real high end.
this is a guess cause im not sure what a HP cost anymore.
if youall go and get one i can put it in

Dayco was telling him 10Kish. . .installed. They are getting a low interest loan through the city so they have to use someone on their list. Time for another estimate.

I use Total Energy Management. They have pretty fair prices for my stuff. You should give them a shot if they are on the list

[OldGreen]

Yeah. ..I'm sure they are!!! I forgot about them. DeWitt is a neighbor.

[toyman2]

is this a full system?
DONOT use totle energy,i wouldnt let them give me a free system.
i need to know whats being put in so i can tell you whats good or not.
im putting in a full system with air handler,4in filter,HP,duct,lineset etc etc
and the bid was like $6700,witch i think is a little low but close

[OldGreen]

it already has a heat pump, but it is going tits up. . .so it will be the complete system minus ducting and maybe wiring. . .

Jimmy, you will mostly likely need new coils with your new pump. I spoke to Kenny (Dayco) and was shocked by the price. I would track down a good unit, use someone's buisness number for the discount, and heavily grease Cim's palm for the install. Of all my Apollo buddy's there know one that does heatpumps

I have been told the new heat pumps are way better than the 1980s unit that I have.

[toyman2]

i need to know if your changing the airhandler(furnace)in side unit.
if nothing else you do need to change the coil with the HP or you wont get the SEER rateing your HP says it is

[OldGreen]

yes, both inside and outside unit.

[toyman2]

i would think it could be done for less the $5500,and im thinkin real nice stuff here.
id get at least 5 bids and go from there,never take to lowest or the highest

( I just got done working for Total Energy ) LOL. My house is similar in size to yours and I replaced my electric heat and A.C. the cost for materials was around $2000 a heat pump would be more. I should have done that. I got coleman equipment, not because I am biased but because It was middle of the road and. the local Trane supplier won't sell to private parties I would not own a lennox after working for a Lennox Company. I am done rambling
