We got our previous heat pump for $1,200, wholesale, and paid an HVAC friend $200 to hook it up. This time, we need both the heat pump (outdoors) and the furnace (indoors). We've lost our wholesale connection, so we're looking at retail this time.
The HVAC company owner is out of town until Saturday, so we haven't gotten the final estimate yet. I'm hoping that the technician's estimate was high, and that the actual cost will be less.
