High-end heat pumps can provide the highest efficiencies, up to 22 SEER. This range of equipment also includes some of the latest and greatest technology and features such as variable-speed compressors, quieter operation, and smart communicating equipment. High-end heat pumps can cost from $7,100 to $13,095, depending on capacity.

Additional Accessories
The best time to pick accessories is when installing new equipment as the cost is minimized. Many customers choose a dehumidifier when installing a new heat pump to keep their home comfortable in the humid and warm temperatures. Other homeowners may also opt-in for a whole home media filter to keep dust and allergies under control.
​
We offer a variety of accessory options that can be installed with your new air conditioner system. Here is a full list of accessory types and the average cost in each category.

Category - Average Cost
Humidifier - $625 - $775

Many times your utility company, such as CMP or Unitil Natural Gas, have rebates available when purchasing a new energy-efficient system.
In many cases, a rebate through your utility provider can reduce the cost by up to $300.

The Step-by-Step Process
The process explained from beginning to end.
1. Determine If a New Heat Pump Is Right for You
When your Heat Pump starts costing you more money on repairs and inefficiency, it's time to have it replaced. The average lifespan of an Heat Pump is around fifteen to twenty years. Not only is replacing your Heat Pump a financial investment, but an investment into your home and lifestyle for more than the next decade.
​
2. Schedule an Estimate
Reach out to us and schedule an in-home estimate with a residential sales professional to visit your home and discuss your comfort needs and available options for your home. We typically provide four system options suited to your comfort needs and budget.
Don't worry; we don't use any high-pressure sales tactics.

4. Planning and Preparation

​
We will work with you to collect the necessary information and apply any rebates that are applicable with your purchase.
5. Installation Day
An exciting day for homeowners. The installation team typically arrives around between 7:30 am and 8 am in a branded/marked truck with professional uniforms and identification badges. You will receive a courtesy call when the installation team is on their way.
​
The installers will begin by placing drop cloths and any necessary protective equipment to ensure no damage to your home or property occurs.
After removing the old equipment from your home, the new equipment is prepared and installed. Once ready, the installation team tests the new system to ensure everything is in the expected working order.
​
Most installations wrap-up around 4 pm that day. Your installation team will then show you how the system works and will go over any questions you have about your new system thoroughly.
6. Post-Installation Inspection
Our residential sales professional will return to your home after you’ve had your new equipment for 7 plus days. They will look over the installation, look you in the eye, shake your hand, make sure you are happy. Any issues that do not meet our high installation standards, if identified, will be promptly remedied.
