Understanding the cost of installing heat pumps

The cost of heating and cooling your homes can be drastically reduced with the installation of a heat pump because it ideally replaces the function of both the air conditioner and furnace in a single system. Heat pump installations cost from $3500 to $7000 based on the type of heat pump required and the style of your house. A geothermal heat pump that has to be installed underground will cost higher than the air-source type. While these installations are expensive due to the cost of the heat pump and the labor included, the amount of energy consumption reduced justifies the significant one-time investment.
