price for 13 seer to 16 seer heat pump

scott2006
11 years ago

Hello All,

I got a price from the builder for $4000 additional bucks to bump the not yet installed 13 SEER Carrier heat pump system, up to a 16 SEER unit.

In Fl the air runs a lot. Anyone know if the $4000 add on sounds like a OK number?

Also he wanted $9000 more to foam the attic.

Thanks,

Scott
