Thermo pump Price List

In addition to the cost of a pump itself, installation is also crucial. Because these systems use refrigerant, the best installers are often refrigeration technicians, rather than electricians. Some companies will bring both to an installation, along with several helpers to assist with any heavy lifting.

Expect an install to take the better part of a day, and expect the cost of installation to run anywhere between $800 and $1, 500 (included in the totals noted above), depending on the size of your pump and the complexity of your job. For example, if the pump needs to be installed on the side of your home opposite to the furnace, extra ductwork and wiring will be required.

Proper installation is critical. Systems that don't have their refrigerant properly balanced will often fail within two or three years. In addition to hiring the right HVAC contractor, you can also mitigate the costs of a heat pump with government assistance. Until 2016, the federal government is offering a tax credit up to 30 percent of the price of a geothermal pump, and many states offer direct rebates for switching from a furnace system to a heat pump.
