Cost by Project Type
What Will It Cost?
Cost depends more on what you're installing than your home size. A single ductless unit for one room is very different from a whole-home multi-zone system.

Cost by System Type
There are a few different kinds of heat pump systems. The right one depends on whether your home has ductwork (the air vents in your walls and ceiling that blow hot/cold air).
Ducted
$10,333
median · 6 quotes *
Connects to the air vents (ducts) already in your walls and ceiling. Best if you have existing ductwork from a furnace or AC system.
Dual-Fuel Hybrid
$16,733
median · 3 quotes *
A heat pump paired with a gas furnace as backup. The gas kicks in on the coldest days. Best in very cold climates where temps regularly drop below 10°F.
Ductless Mini-Split
$8,300
median · 2 quotes *
Wall-mounted units in individual rooms, no ductwork needed. Each room gets its own temperature control. Great for older homes or additions.
* Small sample size — may not reflect typical pricing.

Zone 4
Your Climate Zone
Hurley is in IECC Climate Zone 4. Zone 4 is mixed — moderate summers, cold winters (10–25°F lows). Heating and cooling loads are roughly balanced. This affects what size and type of system you need: since you get both hot summers and cold winters, the system needs to handle both.
A Hurley home under 1,500 sq ft typically needs a 2-ton system ($4,980–$9,068), while homes over 3,500 sq ft need 5 tons ($8,568–$14,852).

15.3¢/kWh
Your Electricity Rate
This is what you pay per kilowatt-hour of electricity. It matters because a heat pump runs on electricity — so your electric rate directly affects how much it costs to heat and cool your home. Your rate is near average, so a mid-efficiency system (16–18 SEER2) usually offers the best balance of upfront cost and energy savings.
What's SEER2? It stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio — think of it like MPG for your car. A 20 SEER2 system uses about 25% less electricity than a 15 SEER2 system. At Hurley's rate, that's roughly $261/year saved on heating alone.

Do heat pumps work in Hurley's climate?

What's the difference between ducted and ductless?
A ducted heat pump connects to the air vents already in your walls and ceiling — if you have a furnace now, you probably have ducts. It heats and cools the whole house through those vents. A ductless mini-split uses small wall-mounted units in individual rooms, connected by a thin pipe to an outdoor unit. It's ideal if you don't have existing ductwork, or want to control temperatures room-by-room. In Virginia: Ducted median $10,333 vs Dual-Fuel Hybrid median $16,733.
What does electricity cost in Hurley?
15.3¢/kWh. That's near the national average of about 16¢. This rate directly affects your monthly operating cost since heat pumps run on electricity.
What brand should I get?
Based on what Virginia homeowners actually installed, the most popular brands are York (6 installs, median $12,233). Brand choice matters less than proper sizing and installation quality — a well-installed mid-tier system will outperform a poorly installed premium one.
