A heat pump will replace both the furnace and air conditioner/central air unit. It may be costly to install, with the national average falling between $3,956 and $6,702, but it will save you considerable money in energy costs.
Freon or R-22 can cost from around $35 to $44 lb.although this differs in each location. An average heat pumpâs compressor can accommodate 4 lb. Freon in each charging. Having the Freon charged to your heat pump can increase the costs because youâll have to pay for labor although you can easily charge the Freon yourself.
