It can be difficult to find accurate HVAC prices for equipment like the American Standard Platinum XM Heat Pump.  So this letter from Anton in Greencastle, Pennsylvania is very helpful.  He provides the American Standard Platinum XM Heritage 16 heat pump price and we supply some features for this quality unit.

“We recently moved here from the south to take a new job.  The house we bought was very cheap but needed some repairs including a new heating system.  Our last house had a newer American Standard heat pump and I loved it for year-round comfort.  I didn’t think it would be cost-effective to use a heat pump here where winters are colder but the local American Standard dealer simply recommended that we install a matching gas furnace instead of the matched air handler to provide versatility in our heating, which we did.  Maybe I should have got heat pump prices for other brands but was so impressed with the American Standard in our last home I went with this one without comparing.  Here’s the price:

American Standard Platinum XM Heritage 16 4 ton / 48,000 Btu heat pump and matching gas furnace: $7,389

Installation: $3,800

Total: $11,189

It took a team of 3 about one work day to install and test the system – they did a great job!”

That’s a solid price for a great system, Anton.    Here’s the specs on the Energy Star rated Heritage 16:

• Up to 18 SEER and 9.0 HSPF which qualifies for the federal energy efficiency tax credits.
• Safe R-410A refrigerant doesn’t contain chlorine and won’t harm the ozone layer.
• 2-step compressor saves energy and reduces noise by running at 70% capacity most of the time.
• Rust-resistant paint, fasteners and pan stand up to the elements.
• Available at 2, 3, 4 and 5 ton sizes with 12K Btu heating per ton.
• Can be optimized with other American Standard HVAC components.

And the best way to optimize the performance of any HVAC system is to have it professionally installed by a qualified contractor.  Their training and experience gives them the know-how to properly install the equipment and set it up to reach its peak performance for both heating and cooling, while achieving greater longevity.  By hiring a pro you’ll have the confidence that your system is operating as it should and giving you the return on your investment that you expect.  And you’ll have valid warranty protection should repairs be required while it is covered.
