I live in New England and gas hybrid is what I looked at. I’m sure it would be very effective, while greatly reducing various air pollution. They quoted $22k to replace my existing furnace and ac, and this was before the big round of price gouging. That is a lot of money.

I live in southern Wisconsin, and that's about what they quoted me in the past year for a top of the line system of both the AC and furnace. That's a multi-stage system that runs at a low level all the time (that's the most efficient way to run it). This is before tax incentives.

A more basic system was around half that cost. If your AC and furnace need replacing, anyway, it's not much more.
