Heating pumps will cost anywhere from $4,000 to $7,500, with the average cost being about $5,600. However, depending on various factors that we will explain in more detail in the article below, the price can range.
Heating pumps are an important part of the home, so it’s important to ensure that the system you choose is the best fit for you and that your system is running smoothly at all times. However, first, we will explain more about what your home’s heating pump is all about.
What Is a Heating Pump?
For those who aren’t as knowledgeable with household equipment, a heating pump is imperative to your home. Your heating pump will pull heat from the surrounding areas and produce the necessary heat or temperature that you are seeking. Additionally, heating pumps can act as an air conditioner, take the air from surrounding areas, and turn it cooler.
Regarding the cost of your heating pump, there are two large factors. First are the unit factors that come with choosing different systems. And second are the other associated factors that will occur after the initial cost of your system. We will explain both of these factors in the sections below.
What Factors Affect the Cost of Heating Pumps?
As stated before the cost of a heating pump is based on various factors. These factors can be anything from the brand of the pump to how often it will be used. Some of the most prominent factors in determining the cost of your homes heating pump include the following:
- The size of the pump: Because heating pumps are measured in tons, the basic capacity of heating pumps can be anywhere from two tons to five tons. This means that you will need to find the perfect size for your home. However, as expected, differences in price will occur from differences in capacities.
- The installation process: If you install your equipment on your own or ask professionals for assistance, the price of your heating pump will vary. Sure, DIY installations are always an attractive option due to low costs; however, problems might be caused down the road due to this. But, hiring professionals to install your unit is expensive upfront. And, the location of your installation will also play a large role in the cost of your heating pump.
- The brand: Just as we mentioned above, different brands of heating pumps will have different prices. And, there will be differences in repair costs as well, which will be determined by the brand and the parts that are required.
- Pump efficiency: Depending on the location you are living, the costs of heating pumps will vary. If you are from warmer areas, your heating pump will be highly efficient, and bring the heat from the outside environment inside, whereas, in colder places, your pump will need to work overtime.
The Different Types of Heating Pumps
A home heating pump is available in all different types of systems. Here are some of the types of heating systems you can choose from:
- Air source systems: Air source heating pumps work by trapping heat from the outside and compressing it, sending hot air through your home’s ducts. This type of system even works well in cooler climates by trapping the outside air and turning it into useful heat that can still be brought inside and used throughout the home to heat different rooms. On average, these systems will cost anywhere from $3,000 to $8,000.
- Geothermal systems: These heating pumps will heat and cool homes or buildings using constant temperatures from the outdoors and storing them in heating exchangers. These heating pumps can save money on bills by their ability to take all air in the surrounding area and store it at a neutral temperature, quickly heating or cooling when needed. However, the startup costs for these systems are hefty, ranging from $13,000 to $36,000.
- Ductless mini split heating systems: These small indoor units are perfect for smaller homes because they can heat rooms by generating the needed energy to do so. It’s important to note that these systems use a lot of energy to generate the perfect temperatures, which is why they are best suited for smaller homes. As one of the cheapest options, this system ranges from $1,500 to $5,000.
