Sometimes consumers are willing to pay quite a bit more to get the unit they want.  The Amana ASZ18 18 SEER heat pump is significantly more expensive than Amana heat pumps in the 13 to 15 SEER range, but for those who want the highest efficiency possible, the extra cost may be deemed a worthwhile expense.  Here’s an HVAC prices submission from Sarah in Flagstaff, AZ that gives a scenario that is common among advocates of high-efficiency systems.  They are willing to pay higher HVAC prices when all the factors are taken into consideration.  Her letter shares the Amana ASZ18 18 SEER heat pump price and her rational.

“Greeting from Flagstaff.  My fiancé and I finished our new home outside of town last November and had an Amana ASZ18 system installed.  It has worked really well this winter and we expect it to perform just as well when the heat comes in a few months.  We’re committed to going as green as possible while still enjoying a comfortable home.  We’re not strident environmentalists but think that if you can do something positive, you ought to.

We got heat pump prices for Trane, Carrier, Ruud and Rheem as well as this one.  In the end, this seemed to offer the best performance and still be within our budget.  Here’s the estimate we went with:

Amana ASZ18 4 ton, 48K Btu heat pump with coil and variable speed air handler: $3,729

Installation: $2,100; Total: $5,829

The 2-person crew took around 5 hours for the installation and said it was easier because it’s a new house.  They ran it and made sure everything was working, and then showed us how to use it and that was it.  Very easy.  The system has worked great – and it’s been a pretty cold winter here in the mountains.”

Thanks for the input Sarah.  It’s always good to get HVAC prices from those who have had a unit installed.  With the Amana ASZ18, here are the features that make it a popular top of the line unit:
