Common questions
Questions before you call a contractor
How much does a heat pump replacement cost?
Put your ZIP code and the size of the job into the form on this page. It prices the labor from what that trade earns in your area (BLS), adds what employers pay on top of wages, and lists every material and piece of equipment it counts.
The result is a range for planning, not a bid. If a key material has no published price yet, the range says so instead of guessing.
What is included in the heat pump estimate?
Count complete outdoor + indoor heat-pump replacements. One typical house is one system.
The work is priced at hvac wages. The options on the form change the hours or the materials; they do not pull an average price for your city.
Why is a contractor’s quote different?
A quote prices your house: how easy it is to reach, what your permit office charges, and how busy that company is. This page prices a standard version of the job from published wages and material costs.
Paste a written bid into Check a quote to see whether it sits low, in the middle or high against the same job.
How the estimate is worked out
- Unit. Count complete outdoor + indoor heat-pump replacements. One typical house is one system.
- Location. Your ZIP code is matched to a county for local wages. It is approximate: a ZIP that crosses county lines is matched to just one of them.
- Range. A low-to-high range for planning. If a key material has no published price, the range is marked incomplete instead of guessed.
