These wells are the higher cost.
I am not sure if the heat pumps are being actively installed in TV, but they should be. I will be doing a lot more research as I expect to be doing the replacement in the next couple of years.

Huh? I'm confused. Most central HVAC systems in The Villages are air cooled heat pumps, and they have no underground wells. Personally, I would buy a Carrier system with the lowest efficiency allowed by law because of the low cost for electricity. I have seen very few Mitsubishi whole house systems. Carrier units are very common, and very easy to get parts and to repair. There is no way that I would pay an extra $1,400 for a Mitsubishi HVAC system.
