There is a broad range of costs depending on the efficiency level of the heat pumps and whether it is heating/cooling just part of your house or your whole house.
Units that serve just part of your house: At the low-efficiency end, the unit costs range from around $1,000 to over $2,000. You can expect the installed costs for such heat pumps to range from approximately $4,000-$5,000. Mid-range efficiency units run around $1,500 to $3,000 with installed costs ranging from $5,000 to $7,000. At the highest efficiencies, the unit costs range from $3,000-$4,000, with installed costs from $7,000-$9,500.
Units that serve the whole house. The cost of an air source heat pump for the whole house is much more expensive and is comparable to the cost of installing central air conditioning. The costs can vary a great deal depending on the configuration of your home, its size, the level of insulation, and whether you already have central air-conditioning or not, and other factors.
To get a cost estimate, you need to speak to acontractor experienced with heat pump: Note: many heating and cooling contractors do not know that much about heat pump systems as this is a relatively new technology. For that reason, we recommend that you contact the Newton HeatSmart program for a referral to heat pump installers who have been screened by the program.
