There are pros and cons.<\/p>\n A package system is a common HVAC choice in homes without basements, especially in moderate and warm climates, or where interior space isn\u2019t sufficient for the equipment. Packaged heat pump prices are lower than split system heat pump costs in most cases.<\/p>\n First, equipment and installation cost is lower because the components are housed in one cabinet instead of two. Also, packaged heat pumps are less efficient than many split system heat pumps, and that keeps cost down too.<\/p>\n The disadvantage, besides lower efficiency, is that all the equipment is subject to the elements, so often requires repair or replacement sooner.<\/p>\n In addition to cost factors below, you will find heat pump installation prices from around the web and actual costs submitted by other readers. Feel free to return to share your own package heat pump cost when your project is complete.<\/p>\n While a system cost of $4,000 to almost $8,000 is a wide range, these factors will help you narrow down to a closer range, depending on features and other relevant factors an HVAC installer if going to consider when quoting your job.<\/p>\n Goodman is one of the few brands that allow their packaged heat pump models to be sold online and at large home improvement stores. Most brands including Carrier, Bryant, Trane, American Standard and Lennox, do not.\u00a0We mention that because Goodman prices are among the lowest, so not reflective of the whole range of products.<\/p>\n Regardless of the brand you choose, installation has a far bigger impact on the quality and longevity of your packaged unit, than any other factor.<\/p>\n New installations require all the supplies listed. Replacements typically require some of the supplies. If the old package unit is 20+ years old, it might require replacing all the supplies accept ductwork.<\/p>\n A permit is required for the installation of a packaged heat pump, whether it is a replacement or installed in new construction. Most permits call for one or two inspections to ensure the work is done properly and the heat pump will operate safely.<\/p>\n Packaged heat pump installation cost is about $1,100 to $3,300 depending on a range of factors.<\/p>\n Installation in new construction and when ductwork is installed takes longer than when replacing an old unit with one very much like it.<\/p>\n Package units are easier to install in some ways than split systems. There are no refrigerant lines to install, and the system comes precharged. In short, you don\u2019t need a refrigerant handling license for most installations.<\/p>\n But there are a couple things to consider here. First, complete DIY installation voids almost every HVAC warranty in the industry. The manufacturers won\u2019t warranty a unit installed, or at minimum, inspected by by someone that isn\u2019t certified and licensed before the unit is started for the first time, so they don\u2019t incur risks due to faulty installation.\u00a0 This also protects the network of dealers selling and installing their products.<\/p>\n That is enough reason for most homeowners to choose pro installation.\u00a0Since your HVAC system is a large investment \u2013 one of the\u00a010 most expensive home repairs\u00a0\u2013 it\u2019s important to do it properly.<\/p>\n Secondly, you might be able to find an installer that will allow you to disconnect the old unit and set the new unit. Then they would\u00a0 do the final connection, test and tune the system for your installation requirements and sign off on the installation. This might cut your installation labor costs in half and still give you warranty coverage. You\u2019ll probably have to shop around for that kind of deal, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to ask.<\/p>\n Rooftop installation is a different animal due to the equipment required and the inherent danger of working on a roof. We recommend leaving every aspect of packaged heat pump rooftop installation to the pros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/main><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Average DIY (Not Recommended) $2,650 Typical Range $5,500 \u2013 $6,650 The average cost of a packaged heat pump is $5,915.
