    Nice. Honestly I’m always so surprised that heat pumps haven’t caught on after all this time.

      One big downside to me is that the air never feels hot or cold, just slightly warmer or cooler than current room air.

      Say I’m cold in my living room. Go to thermostat and click it up a degree. Hot furnace air is now swirling around my living room making it feel much warmer. One degree on the heat pump and you might not even notice it.

      Yup, I’m looking to replace my furnace and AC unit, but finding a contractor to do it for a reasonable price (under $12k) in my area has been difficult.

        Heat pumps are generally easy to install since they’re generally one single packaged unit.

        Only hard part about installing a HVAC system is filling the freon lines from the condenser to evaporator.

        Most packaged units come prefilled, and if one single unit then no worries.

        Even if you got everything in place and just had a HVAC contractor to solder and fill lines if you needed a split unit. You could save a ton of money.

        Otherwise any DIYer could install one
