I had an AC unit installed just after the heat dome. Interestingly, while there was a lot of interest in people getting AC installed, few people were willing to put down 60% of the cost of the unit, which meant I was at the front of the line.

I was interested in doing an air-source heat pump (because hey, my furnace was 19 years old and would have to be replaced soon anyway), but due to the excessive cost, the payback time was figured to be something like 50 years. I would have loved to do that, but it just doesn't make sense. Instead, it was new AC unit + new natural gas furnace.

Nevermind ground-source, which would have been much more expensive.
