A heat pump functions more efficiently than an electric heat pump. It is a known fact that a heat pump saves you five times more than the conventional heat pump. So if it is a Trane model, then so much the better. When you decide to change to a heat pump, be prepared to spend at least a minimum of $3,000 and a maximum price of $8,500 or more. This price may or may not include installation charges. Of course the $8,500 will include the labor charge as well. Some models are offered with free installation while some may charge a $500 for labor cost. Never think of compromising on comfort. If you do, then be prepared for unnecessary expenses of around $2,500.
Trane have a wider choice so do consider what you can afford. A good way would be to first shop around looking for pricing. Make sure that you ask questions regarding the product, although Trane is a well known and reliable brand. Still there are questions such as the unit that will suit your needs. Some models of the Trane heat pump can be installed on your own, if you happen to be in the heat pump industry. However it is advisable not to test run a product yourself if you do not have any formal technical know-how or expertise.
About Trane Heat Pumps Installation Prices
It is true that when you keep adding the cost of the labor charge to the unit cost, the totals are staggering; still if you want a decent heat pump installed then you have to be prepared to pocket out a tidy sum! In the alternative you could also ask another heat pump manufacturer to install the unit instead of asking Trane to do it for you. Ask around prior to purchasing the unit whether they would be willing to do it for you. There is another way to set about this. Get a hold of a Trane technical person to install the unit at a very nominal fee privately. This way you could save big on the installation costs.
Special note:
In any case since the unit will come with a warranty, you will have the coverage for future problems if at all any should occur. Usually expected to last for above 15 years, the Trane pump in the long-term is energy saving, and you also qualify for the tax credit since the units are Energy Star qualified.
