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.
The most common consideration with heat pump installation costs is the ground excavation difficulty associated with the labor costs. Getting in touch with a few heat pump installation service providers can help you get a few reliable vendors who can do the job at a reasonable price. These prices vary on the basis os of the method used by the vendor because one may suggest drilling through the driveway or concrete slab and another might have resources to perform an excavation at a subsidized cost.
With vendors, some of the basic factors that influence the cost of installation to vary are:
Type of heat pump
The choice between picking a geothermal pump or an air source pump. Then the subvariant to pick based on brand, size, capacity, efficiency, etc.
Installation
The inclusion of standard equipment, planning, labor, prepping the installation space, and cleanup costs to take care of debris, if any, or to repair the surrounding damages.
Supplies
Extra materials such as fittings, pipes, and hardware are required to set up the complete heat pump system. The ground source installation cost higher due to the higher requirement of materials.
Additional costs
The fees for the use of special equipment such as brazing kits or pipe cutters.
