In Arden Hills, a heat pump installed by us costs $7,500–$14,500, written flat-rate, often as dual fuel with the Xcel gas furnace. Xcel Energy supplies both gas and electricity here, so many owners pair it with the existing gas furnace as dual fuel rather than going electric-only.
More than half of Arden Hills' houses date from before 1974, and the 1970s ones are now past 50 years old. That matters for a heat pump, because the original duct layout was sized for heat from a chimney-vented furnace and the air conditioner, if there is one, may still run on R-22. When the AC fails, replacing it with a heat pump is a natural moment to fix the duct and electrical questions at the same time.
Our approach is to keep the gas furnace where it is still sound and add a cold-climate heat pump ahead of it. We check that the panel has room for the new breaker and that the old coil location suits the new one. Arden Manor's manufactured homes are a separate case and need equipment approved for manufactured housing.

Our $7,500–$14,500 installed price comes as a written flat-rate quote, with a 2-year labor warranty on top of the manufacturer's parts warranty. A 1970s house with an old R-22 air conditioner often adds duct and electrical fixes to the job, while an Xcel gas furnace keeps it dual fuel. See the heat pump cost guide.

Often. R-22 can only be recharged with reclaimed refrigerant, which is expensive, so a leak usually ends the repair. A heat pump replaces the AC and also heats in the mild months. We compare it with a plain AC in a written quote, including whether your furnace and ducts suit the change.
We cannot promise it. Xcel runs its heat pump rebates through its Trade Partner Network, and we do not claim status in that program. Ask Xcel whether the rebate requires a registered contractor and check its deadlines. Rebate amounts change yearly, so get the current terms from Xcel.
