Answer five questions about your house and see our typical range, line by line. Nothing is sent unless you choose to.

## Describe the job

## How do we work out your range?

This estimator from [Bluffline Memphis Heat Pumps](https://blufflinememphisheatpumps.com/) picks one of our typical ranges from your answers and shows it as a line. When the ducts need work, it adds the duct range as a second line.

| Job | What it means | Typical range |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Whole system | Outdoor unit and matched air handler, ducts reused | $8,000 to $16,000 |
| Outdoor unit only | The indoor half is newer and a listed match | $4,500 to $9,000 |
| Dual fuel | Heat pump and coil on a gas furnace you keep | $5,000 to $10,000 |
| Air handler only | The outdoor unit is newer and stays | $2,000 to $4,500 |
| Duct repair and sealing | Done with an install | $800 to $3,500 |

Nothing is scaled or stretched. Every number the estimator shows is one of these ranges, or a sum of them, so you can check each line against the table.

## Which answers move the price?

- **What heats the house now.** It chooses the equipment band.
- **The ducts.** A small return or leaking trunk adds a duct line.
- **The efficiency tier.** Higher tiers and variable speed sit higher in the range.
- **Access.** Attic and crawlspace equipment takes longer than a closet.

The [cost page](https://blufflinememphisheatpumps.com/heat-pump-installation-cost/) explains each driver in more depth.

## How do we set your actual price?

In a written estimate after the site visit. We run a load calculation, take a static pressure reading on the ducts, check the panel and look at the outdoor spot. The estimate lists the size, both model numbers, any duct or electrical work, the permit and the price.

## What about rebates?

On MLGW and other TVA power companies, TVA EnergyRight lists $500 for a qualifying heat pump at 15 SEER2 and $800 at 17 SEER2, plus $300 for qualifying duct sealing and insulation, installed by a participating contractor. Entergy Mississippi runs its own program. The [TVA rebate guide](https://blufflinememphisheatpumps.com/guide/tva-energyright-heat-pump-rebate/) covers the rules.

## Questions about the estimator

### Why does the estimator ask what heats the house now?

Because it decides the job. A strip-heat house needs a heat pump and a new air handler; a gas house can keep its furnace for dual fuel or retire it; a heat pump house may need one half or both. Each has its own typical range.

### Does the estimator take the TVA rebate off the total?

No. It shows the rebate beside the range, because eligibility depends on your power company, the equipment and the installing contractor. We confirm it for your address before an estimate counts on it.

### What happens to my estimator answers if I send the form?

We add them to your request as part of the message, so the first call starts from what you already entered. If you don't send the form, the answers stay in your browser and in the page address.
