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.

I always thought that a heat pump system referred to the compressor reversing operation in the winter in order to extract heat out of the air.
