Is $20,000 to install a 3 ton Bosh BOVA20 heat pump system a fair price?
Project Details
I have received quotes from non-VC owned local installers for two different 3-ton heat pump systems: a Bosh BOVA20 and an Amana AZV9S. Both installers performed Manual J and Manual D calculations for optimizing and re-ducting the mechanical room supply and return. Both quotes also include the removal of my old oil tank and furnace, and the installation of electric strip backup heat. I plan to install a wood stove next winter for additional heating. I'm trying to decide between the Bosh system, quoted at approximately $20,000, and the Amana system, quoted at approximately $15,000. I believe the Amana is a rebadged Daikin Fit Aurora DH9VS, and while the Bosh has slightly better efficiency, I'm concerned about potential differences in dehumidification performance or compressor reliability with the Amana/Daikin system, as I have no prior experience with these systems.
