$9100 + tax seems high if all we're talking about is replacing the HP. Adding in a new air handler and you should still be about half the quoted price. 2 yrs ago when we moved here I had a heat pump installed, replacing electric ceiling heat. Paid ~$10k including duct work. Seem to recall the heat pump/air-handler was less than half. This is a top of the line Bryant (carrier's twin sister). This was a custom install, seem to recall the HP was a 4 ton unit and air handler was 3.5 ton. System came with a fantastic "thermostat", actually a dedicated computer. There is a data line connecting all the components together and it tracks and stores all system problems, run time for each component. Tstat reminds you when filter needs replacing and does this by measuring pressure drop across the filter. Has a vacation function that operated with the touch of a button and indicate for how long you want this function to run. At end point, system returns to preset temps.
Oh, for being as far North as you are, SEER rating is not too important as that covers cooling efficiency. There is another acronym used to measure heating efficiency but can't recall the letters right now. Both measurements do not parallel each other. heating is more important this far North.

, so we've got a programmable one with digital display of date, time, and a few other things, along with battery backup.:laughing: It works just fine, but has a number of nice "features" that we don't need.
