What does heat pump replacement include?

Heat pump replacement means replacing an all-in-one system that provides both heating and cooling in a single unit, eliminating the need for separate AC and furnace systems.

It typically includes:

This is different from HVAC replacement (split system with separate AC and furnace) or individual AC/furnace replacement. Heat pumps provide both heating and cooling in one efficient system.

Key factors that impact heat pump replacement cost

Climate zone

(cold climate needs higher HSPF rating)

HSPF rating

(8-10 standard, 10-13+ high-efficiency)

SEER rating

(14-16 standard, 17-22+ high-efficiency)

System capacity

(2-5 tons typical for residential)

Efficiency rebates

(federal tax credits, state/local incentives)

Installation complexity

(ground, wall, or rooftop placement)

Each state page breaks these factors down with local context, climate considerations, and available rebates.

Heat pump replacement vs other system replacements

Heat pump replacement

→ All-in-one system (heating + cooling in one unit)

HVAC replacement

→ Split system (separate AC + furnace units)

AC replacement

→ Cooling unit only (works with existing furnace)

Furnace replacement

→ Heating unit only (works with existing AC)

Heat pumps are ideal for moderate climates and offer excellent efficiency. They can replace both your AC and heating system in one unit.

In very cold climates, you may need a hybrid system (heat pump + backup furnace) or consider a traditional split HVAC system.

Heat pump replacement cost FAQs

How much does heat pump replacement cost in my state?

Heat pump replacement costs vary by state due to climate demands, labor rates, and available rebates. Use your state page for accurate ranges based on home size, efficiency needs, and local incentives.

Do heat pumps work well in cold climates?

Modern high-efficiency heat pumps (HSPF 10+) work well in most climates, including cold regions. In very cold areas (below freezing frequently), you may need a hybrid system with a backup furnace or a cold-climate heat pump designed for extreme temperatures.

Are there rebates available for heat pump replacement?

Yes! Federal tax credits are available for high-efficiency heat pumps, and many states and utilities offer additional rebates. These incentives can significantly reduce your upfront cost. Check your state page for local rebate information.

Is a heat pump more cost-effective than a split HVAC system?

Heat pumps are often more energy-efficient and cost-effective long-term, especially in moderate climates. They eliminate the need for separate heating and cooling systems. However, in very cold climates, a traditional split HVAC system with a gas furnace may be more practical.
