It all depends on what you are getting for the price. I had my heat pump
replaced in December. I'm not home at the moment, so I can't go out to
check the size rating on it, but it was sized for a 2000 sq ft house. With
only the outside unit replaced (and not the air handler), the cost was
$1500. It was not SEER 13, but SEER 10, I believe.
Now you may ask why only SEER 10? To get a higher rating, the inside air
handler would have to be replaced as well as all the piping. I think that
cost was going to be around $3000 or so. Since we usually keep the
temperature at 75 to 80, the AC isn't on enough to justify the cost
difference.
If you're interested, I can locate the name of the guy who installed
it. He's an independent and did an admirable job.
My previous heat pump was serviced by Lee. I wasn't too happy with the way
that they handled the last problem, which caused me to have to get a new
outside unit.
