Armstrong is one of those manufacturers that makes a relatively small lineup of products but makes it to the highest standards in the industry.  The Armstrong Model 416LT 16 SEER heat pump shows good design and quality craftsmanship, using excellent components in every detail.  This model also delivers high efficiency that is Energy Star rated and makes it eligible for the federal energy efficiency tax credit.  Jay from Cary, North Carolina offered the Armstrong Model 416LT 16 SEER heat pump price he paid as well as his thoughts on the product.  We appreciate all the HVAC prices our readers send.  If you have one to pass along, use the form on our Share an HVAC price page.  It’s quick and easy!

“The last time I considered a heat pump was about 15 years ago when a neighbor got one.  It was very inefficient for heating, and the split system was expensive relative to a central air conditioner split system.  I couldn’t see the attraction.  Two years ago I moved into a home with an American Standard heat pump and air handler, and again, I thought the heating bills were much higher than I’d been paying with a gas furnace.  So I planned to replace the whole thing with a traditional central air conditioner and gas furnace.  I had several contractors out who gave me bids on the system.  The American Standard dealer suggested I take another look at heat pumps since the efficiency has increased quite significantly. I researched them quite a bit on this website and was convinced that with the limited heating we do here that it actually made sense.  I didn’t have to replace the air handler and a new heat pump cost thousands less than an air conditioner split system.  The efficiency on a gas furnace may still be a bit better, but it would take 15-20 years to make up the difference a split system would have cost.  That didn’t make sense to me.

Here’s the price I paid for a 3 ton Armstrong 416LT heat pump:

The unit was $2,459.

Installation was $1,780

Total: $4,239

The quotes I got for split systems with a/c and gas furnace were all over $8,000 so I feel like I saved a bunch of money and got a quality unit too.  The heating bills were excellent last winter so all-around, I’m pretty happy.”
