Not knowing specific installation procedures needed potentially making it much harder than a standard install, and only able to guess that portion which can drastically change the price, it does seem high. Now, heat pumps are in very short supply right now due to supply chain issues and most people needing one are waiting longer than normal, you may be incurring the extra cost of convenience to have it sooner rather than later.
I recently had my HVAC company do a service. My Trane SEER unit is 12 years old I was told my run capacitor was a little weak and to replace it was $385. It’s crazy to replace a $30 capacitor and 15 mins of work lol. Also I asked how long I could expect this unit to last. Was told 12-15 years. So I asked the price of a new Trane unit and was told the 3 ton Trane 20 SEER indoor and outdoor would be around $22k. Wow I’m I the only one thinks these prices are crazy 😂
As far as the repair, to make things simple, you’re not paying for the capacitor, you’re paying for the training for the guy so he knows it is the capacitor, among 50 other items that have to be considered when pricing every repair. 20 SEER expensive and worth it. You can bring that price down quite a bit for 13 SEER. You want a Cadillac, you have to pay Cadillac prices. You want a Ford, you can pay Ford prices also.
Thanks for making this video. I'm getting a quote on a heat pump for my home next week and this info will be very helpful. Question for you if you get it in time: Can my AC unit and the new heat pump unit both share the same ducting? I don't want to eliminate my existing AC unit. Mainly getting the heat pump for winter use. Thanks again.
Need advice, I have a common 3 Ton split system gas furnace. My compressor failed after 15 years of service. I recently purchased a new 3.5 Ton heat pump condenser as a replacement. I would like to take advantage of the heat pump technology and use the gas furnace as backup heat. My question revolves around the specifications of the new replacement evaporator coil. I noticed that most heat pump condenser units are married to an air handler with electric backup heat, instead of an evaporator coil box on a gas furnace. I understand that gas heat is possible as backup with a heat pump, but I'm confused about what modifications need to be made to the evaporator coil TXV. Please advise if there are special TXV for heat pump evaporator coil configuration and if there is something that is needs to be done to the furnace. Thanks Kevin
There is no modification. The evaporator coil just needs to be rated with the HP. If it’s a 3.5 Ton Hp, I hope you have a 4 ton drive on that blower motor on the furnace instead of the 3 ton you mentioned.
@@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 My furnace is 3 ton, plan to upsize it to 3.5 before winter. What is the consequences of the 3 ton blower at this point?
A 3-1/2 ton HP should do the job; however you should have a heat load calculation done by the dealer as insulation; number of windows, sun shading affects the actual capacity needed or your home!
Does the cost of the heat pump include installation? What about the air handler? Is that included in the price too? The video really doesn’t explain any of this.
I have enjoyed your videos. We are going to get a Trane heat pump (16 Seer). Should we do it now or wait until 1/1/23? Can a current Trane 16 be installed after 1/1/23 or will it have to be a more expensive unit. We are in MD.
Wattage varies greatly depending on how efficient of a Heat Pump you choose. If you’re looking at getting a new heat pump, your sales representative should be able to look those numbers up for you pretty quickly.
Well it looks like you better be pretty young to get a pay back at this cost of as good system And make sure your area will hold up. You don't want to be stuck in your home because no one will pay the extra
Good video. Do these ranges include creating ductwork (say if you're building new) or is that a separate process? Because someone simply replacing existing units would pay much less.
This price includes new transition to existing ductwork. Also included is a Lifetime workmanship guarantee. We spend an extra hour on each job after the installation performing a full commissioning on the equipment to make sure you are getting what you are paying for. Equipment pricing from manufacturers has went up 4 times in the last year due to supply side shortages through the industry. All our technicians get over 200 hours a year in training in the largest HVAC training lab in Central Ohio. We also offer a 100% money back guarantee.
@@fireiceheatingandaircondit4363 is that just unit cost or installed price my guy is telling me about a brand called allied which is a lennox bastard child but it is variable speed which does make sense to me but the warranty is only 5 years and have to pay 1k for extended, price installed is great some people are asking 14k for a rheem standard ? my house should have 2 -3 ton units for its size but has 1 5 ton 16 seer r22 and the heating unit in the attic is 45 years old and ive had to change the motor in it once
the house is 2500 square feet but 18 foot ceiling in big room and ive never had to put freon in any of the ac units that have lasted a long time but the air pump would be going yr round
Is installation of a heat pump that different vs a standard central a/c system? I am planning on getting a high velocity system in my house and I asked the contractor what the cost difference would be if we went with a heat pump vs adding a plain heating element in the air handler. He stated that he wasn’t familiar at all with heat pumps.
The installation is the same as an AC, except outdoor unit will be sitting 8” higher to be out of snow. Electric heat strips are warmer coming out of vents, but much more expensive utilities.
How about American standard heat pump packaged unit for 7000 sq ft of living space on .3 levels? Also would 2 units with 3 ton better or one with 6 ton?
@@bobboscarato1313 He never mentioned that, but when he came over to install the old unit from the house into the garage, he did ask if everything was okay with the home unit!
Your pricing doesn't seem to include the matching replacement air handler, new duct work (other than transition pieces), air flow dampers, electronic air cleaner, thermostat, new copper line set, outdoor disconnect, etc. It would be helpful to have separate estimated "cost adders" for some of these features that will add thousands of dollars to your cost estimates.
A heat pump is also a cooling unit. A properly sized & properly installed heat pump is a very efficient option when it comes to electricity. If you are replacing a current heat pump system, then a new unit will most likely use less utilities depending on the size and efficiency rating of the old and the new.
I'm having a Carrier Infinity 24 Heat Pump installed in my 1600 sq. ft home for $20,000. That includes removing the old heat pump. Some duct work modification.
Did that include a new furnace too for back up heat? Bryant Evolution 24 heat pump is similar to the Carrier Unfinity and the price I got with the Heat Pump and a New HE 97% Furnace was $22K and that's for a 2400 sq ft house.

A heat pump is also an AC. The answer to your question is no.
What are the various indoor electric heat pumps?
Fort Worth here. We’re dumping our 17 year HVAC (elec / gas) for a 2-stage heat pump.
Good Luck. Make sure you get a good contractor to do the work.

It won’t blow enough air across the evaporator coil and you coil might freeze up
My home is one level 1700sq feet in Bluffton, South Carolina. Have a/c with April Air filter.

A heat pump can go with a furnace or an air handler, so the price in video is for the heat pump. It does include installation in the price.

You choose either date. Prices only go up. Prices normally rise on the first of the year
What I never hear in these videos is how much wattage each heat pump takes? This to me in the long run will dictate my choice?
Wattage varies greatly depending on how efficient of a Heat Pump you choose. If you’re looking at getting a new heat pump, your sales representative should be able to look those numbers up for you pretty quickly.

American Standard is comparable in pricing. 2 separate units usually balance the house better than 1. There are no 6 ton units.
Most definitely use two separate systems! You may need a third system due to the size of your home; get detailed heat load calculations!

1300 sq ft house. I have Bryant furnace. And not sure what type of AC unit.
What would be price range?
It’s in the video you just watched
Does this system include cooling systems and does it lower monthly electricity bill?
A heat pump is also a cooling unit. A properly sized & properly installed heat pump is a very efficient option when it comes to electricity. If you are replacing a current heat pump system, then a new unit will most likely use less utilities depending on the size and efficiency rating of the old and the new.
Are the price quoted in US$?
Yes
Do these prices include installation?
Yes they do
Are these heat pumps only repairable by the manufacturer?
Any competent HVAC company can repair a heat pump
Get a dealer certified for the brand of unit you have!

Our neighbor is finally replacing his loud heat pump and was sold a system for $18,000 ! His condo is only 1,000 square feet.
