I’m calling BS on $3500 _extra and the lack of justification in the article reinforces my belief. Then when I tried to go back the site tried to retain me twice. Indications of a junk source.
It’s the main newspaper in San Jose, so probably about as reliable a source of news as you’re going to get. The author is their senior environmental reporter too.
If someone is going from gas to the highest end heat pump, I could see an extra 3500 being possible with higher cost for the heater itself as well as the extra labor to install a new electrical outlet.
But that’s a worst case scenario. There are a few newer heat pumps that can use a standard 120v/15a outlet, and that would be much cheaper
