Those CCHP, and heat pumps in general are a racket. A heat pump has a couple extra valves or something turning an AC into a heat pump, so there is little additional cost. Then the CCHP has a couple more valves than that. Going from AC to heat pump shouldn't be more than a couple hundred bucks, and then to cold climate should only be a couple hundred more.

With economies of scale, it'd probably be cheaper to just manufacture all to be CCHP with no option for inefficient systems. I need to disrupt this corrupted industry by starting my own business.
