The best way to answer that is by cost per ton of capacity; that's how it's usually described in the field. So a ton is 12,000 BTUs and the cost can average anywhere from about $700 a ton up to $1200 or $1300, even $1500 per ton, depending on what kind of bells and whistles you get on them.

You can get two stage compressors, where at one stage it kicks on when the unit calls for more heating or cooling. You can get hot water kits where the heat pump makes hot water in the cooling mode, or in heating mode it uses primary secondary hot water coil. That way you can get an electric resistance heating coil installed in them and you can get a pump kit already installed on it.
