Heat Pump Replacement Costs by City

Fair-price benchmarks for heat pump replacement — one system that handles both heating and cooling. New equipment ships with R-454B or R-32.

Is a heat pump right for your climate? Heat pumps work best in mild-to-moderate climates (dual or cooling-dominant). In heating-dominant markets like Chicago, Buffalo, or Minneapolis, a cold-climate heat pump (rated to -13°F) or a dual-fuel system (heat pump + gas backup) is often the right call. Ask your contractor for a Manual J load calc — not just "same size as your old unit."
