Need Advice on choosing Heat Pump vs AC for my area weather.
2700 sq ft. 4 level home, half is split level and half is basement with a main level. I am looking at replacing furnace (> 30 yr old Lennox Pulse Furnace, still works but efficiency has gone down) and AC (> 20 yr old, quit working), and received 2 quotes. To give you an idea of my weather, see the screenshots below, avergae daily air temp is below ~35 F from December - May with Jan - Mar is sub zero monthly temps.
Option 1) Trane 80K BTU 2-stage 96% FUE Gas Furnace + Trane 2.5 Ton 13.4 Seer 2 central air conditioner for $12,132.00 (amount after deducting all possible rebates and discounts)
Option 2) Bryant 60K BTU Preferred 2-stage 97% FUE Furnace + Bryant 37MUHAQ24AA3 (2 Ton Crossover Heat Pump) + Bryant CAAMP2517AMA Coil + Honeywell YTHX9421R5127WW thermostat for $11,200.00 (after deducting all possible rebates and discounts)
Looking for some insights from the group. My biggest concern is choosing a crossover heat pump over the traditional het pump or regular A/C. Thank you so much!
