If you’re in Milwaukee area I can tell you the guy who did it for me, he was 1/3 less than the other contractors and did a freaking phenomenal job. I don’t remember the name of the company that built the pump, I was thinking hard about a Mr Cool but this one was a better fit for us.
The setup is a condenser outside that looks like an AC unit but is way, way quieter (it’s just outside a bedroom), that feeds into the internal pump that’s where the old furnace was. It does ac in the summer, heating in the winter, and we pay less for both than before we switched. Whole thing was about $12k and he did the paperwork for the rebates for us.
We were fortunate in that our old system had duct work and wiring in place that meant installing the new system had lower labor costs than usual, but the whole thing took two days and that included a bad part that he had to spend half a day picking up a replacement for in Madison.
Nice, these just became standard building code for new construction single family homes in Washington state. >

They basically have built in AC which this state is sorely lacking. >

That's funny that you phrase that that way. I've always thought of them as A/C that can run backwards and provide heat. >

Californian. They're ACs with a heater in my mind, too. >

Eastern WA.  Same.  A/C with benefits. >

I’m in Wisconsin and my cold weather heat pump cut my winter power bill in half. The oil industry can kiss my butt on both sides. >

I'm also in Wisco. Can you give me an idea what your setup is?
