Default Convert Carrier AC Package Unit to HeatPump

Hi;

I recently bought a house in SE Virginia to use as a rental. It has a
one year old carrier AC. It is a package unit so there is no indoor
airhandler or lineset. The ducting runs from the unit through the
crawl space. Everything is self contained outside. The Carrier number
is 50SD024301. The house has Electric BaseBoard Heat. I am worried
that people might not want to rent the house because of the baseboard
heat. I am thinking about having the AC unit replaced with a heatpump.
Before I call folks out and get a quote for a new heatpump, is it
possible to convert the ac unit I have to a heatpump for less than 3k?
I hate to discard a system that is less than a year old, but if I have
to I guess I will have to. Thanks for any advice.

Pat


Unless you want to take it on as a personal project, I don't think costs or
results would be a very positive outcome.


Sorry, just reread this line... Crips, English is my first language


If this is the unit you should be able to add electric heat right to the unit.
Only concern would be electrical breakers, wiring and panel space availability.
