[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jan 2022 full HVAC replacement in 1400 sq ft house.  A very small adjustment to return duct was involved. 96% eff variable-speed Bryant gas furnace, 16 SEER 2.5 ton A/C, and added MERV 13 filtration sized to the blower unit. $9,000.

Get a blower door test done on your house first and make sure they don’t MF you by oversizing the a/c. Nothing but heartache, humidity and mold will result.[/quote]

Did you also get quotes for replacing the gas furnace with an electric heat pump? Trying to understand the cost difference[/quote]

I am not the PP but we got the following quotes earlier this year (we didn't go with this contractor but they were the only ones that offered a quote for a full heat pump conversion (last quote below). 
90k BTU single stage furnace and 3.5 ton ac: $8,500
90k BTU two stage furnace and 3.5 ton ac: $10,500
110 BTU two stage furnace and variable stage 4.ton heat pump: $17,500
4 ton heat pump and air handler: $15,500

Bear in mind you can probably get a $2k tax credit if you get a qualifying heat pump (needs to be at least 20 SEER2 I believe). So that would bump the net cost of the heat pump down to $13,500. But remember that electricity is much more expensive than natural gas, so your utility bills in the winter may stay the same/go up.
