    Ohhh I heard some of those! Got told that the heat pump alone would cost more than twice as much as I actually paid for a heat pump, all new radiators and replacing all the old pipework.

    My other favorite thing was talking to this one hvac company that only did x brand heat pumps(dont remember), but could not provide performance specs on them. The company couldnt either. Aside from "this one is really quiet!"

    So i went with carrier, which had perfornance specs for all their equipment, at multiple different ambient and desired temps.
