A heat pump installed in New Hope costs $7,500–$14,500, written down before we begin. The 1960s ramblers and split-entries here have returns that often leak or restrict airflow, and fixing them is part of making a heat pump work.
New Hope's houses were built in about fifteen years, so they share a design. Split-entries have a lower level that runs cool and an upper level that gets the sun, with one thermostat between them. A heat pump keeps that balance problem, so we look at dampers and thermostat placement alongside the equipment.
Returns are the other half. Panned joist cavities used as return ducts pull dusty basement air and cap the volume the blower can move, and a heat pump moves a lot of air. We check the returns before quoting and price sealing or replacing them if needed.

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. Leaky panned-joist return cavities from 1960s ramblers and split-entries often need replacing with real returns before a heat pump can move enough air. See the heat pump cost guide.
A heat pump needs steady airflow, and a leaky panned joist return pulls dusty basement air and limits the volume the blower can move. That cuts efficiency and comfort. We test the returns, and if they leak we price sealing or a proper metal return. It is cheaper to fix before the heat pump goes in.
It can help, but a single thermostat between two levels is the weak point. We look at dampers, returns and the thermostat position so the heat pump doesn't overheat one floor chasing the other. In some houses, a ductless head on the lower or upper level gives better balance than the ducts alone.
