new furnace+AC vs New furnace+heatpump
For reference
Location: Northern British Columbia Canada
Temps +30 deg C to -20C in winter with occasional -30s C
Pricing in $CAD includes equip and install/electrical
I have a 30yo furnace in the house I bought (knew about this beforehand.....)
Quotes for traditional Furnace+AC are approx $16-$18000CAD for 96% furnace and traditional AC 13seer 3ton (using Rheem, Amana, and Midea equipment) and one quote around $14k for Keeprite branded equip.
For duel fuel options
Amana system ~20k 98% modulating and Amana HP. Looks like their highest end models (rep told me normal cost is approx $28k, this is last years models....) Warranty looks decent
Napoleon 9700 furnace, and HP system $23k
Having never had a heat pump or duel fuel system what should I be concerned about?
Rheem parts longer/harder to get in Canada?
HP is quieter, less footprint
Thanks!
