This was from the same company, oddly enough. A mass save partner yada yada. (The first quote was at the same time they came for insulation installing)

I think what they meant is that you should farm around for quotes. Another place may not be trying to rip you off

That's fair, we're not saving for the change, we want them for the air conditioning, our heat is new enough in not looking to fully replace it

I got our oil removed and heat pumps installed through masssave last fall.

I ended up getting 5 quotes that varies from $20k-50k. Two of the installers wanted to do ducted systems and eventually we ended up around $30k with a good installer.

We paid the 10k as a down payment in November. Got the 0% interest loan about $150/month. We just got the rebate check in the mail. And 150/mo plus the new electric rate is still cheaper than oil. Long term I'm hoping it will pay for itself.

Mind telling me the installer you used? I'm in Watertown and looking to do this.
