> In Sweden the hardware cost around $1k - $2.5k and installation $500 - $1000. It's not a complicated task.

These numbers must be for an air to air mini-split unit with one air handler with nearby electricity, $500-$1000 is 4-8 hours of labor. That’s not nearly enough for an entire home.

A whole house heat pump with heat exchanger costs substantially more, both in equipment and labor.
