A typical single stage Heat pump system will cost about $8k-$9K. Maybe you can find a cheap system for a little less. Right now, with the $2,000 Federal tax credit and rebates from Carrier, Sunshine and if you have Duke energy there is another $1K rebate, the $17K Carrier Infinity Greenspeed system costed me $13K net and that includes 10 year parts and labor. With this system you should save about 35% on energy costs so the extra couple thousand dollars spent can be recouped in about 5 years or so.
Timing is everything and I don't know how long the Federal tax credits will remain in-place with the current administration.
