This was from the same company, oddly enough. A mass save partner yada yada. (The first quote was at the same time they came for insulation installing)
Comment on These States Are Basically Begging You to Get a Heat Pump
protist@mander.xyz 7 months agoDid you get multiple quotes? When we had our HVAC system replaced, the quotes we got varied by almost $10K. The lowest bid was from the one who had the best online reputation and they did great work

I think what they meant is that you should farm around for quotes. Another place may not be trying to rip you off

That’s fair, we’re not saving for the change, we want them for the air conditioning, our heat is new enough in not looking to fully replace it

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.
I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.
We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I’m hoping it will pay for itself.

Mind telling me the installer you used? I’m in Watertown and looking to do this.

Same, I got heat pumps installed in 2020 and the prices varies a ridiculous amount, pretty sure we were quoted anywhere from $30-50k for 7 indoor units and 3 outdoor stations. Ended up going with one of the cheaper options and after the MA HEAT loan (max $25k 0% 7yr one time use per family per house) pretty much all of the up front cost was refunded by tax season
