I asked how common they are in Calgary and they said they are becoming more common, but he didn't know what the savings would be. I'd be interested in spending the extra $1k if it meant a decent savings on the monthly utilities but not sure what the numbers look like since heat pumps aren't too common here

I had a 2.5 ton unit at 16 seer installed a few months ago for a few hundred less than your quote. Partially because my basement is a finished basement, the labour was a little bit higher because a bit of time was spent fishing cables across 40 ft of finished ceiling. I believe the unit I have is a Goodman.
No idea on the heat pump. But I doubt the savings are worth it.
