cost to replace heat pump and air handler?

Question

Accepted Answer

If you’re getting a new heat pump and your air handler or furnace isn’t brand new, you will likely want to plan on replacing your entire HVAC system at one time. This is because you need a matched system to get all of the benefits of a new heat pump system. Benefits include increased efficiency and reliability, which translates into energy savings. Older HVAC units may have obsolete technology that is not compatible with a new heat pump. In addition, installation will be more cost-effective if you do it all at once. Lastly, you may need to install a matched system to qualify for full warranty coverage and financial incentives. A recent survey indicated that only about a third of U.S. homeowners know about all the incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) passed in 2022 to buy a heat pump – whether you’re replacing an existing heat pump, want to replace a furnace with a heat pump, or opt for a dual-fuel system. A new heat pump system is only as good as the brand reliability, system design, and installation behind it. This is why it is vital to work with an HVAC company with years of experience sizing and installing heat pump systems.
