Just wanted to update in case you're still on the fence, I finished installing my variable speed heat pump and modulating furnace yesterday. Combined with the Connex control, I gotta say I'm impressed with the A/C. I think if you're gonna go gas furnace and A/C I'd recommend a variable speed air conditioner. The dehumidification is impressive and the noise level is almost non existent when operating on it's lowest speed. Even ramped up for checking the charge, the outdoor unit couldn't be heard from about 20 feet away. I typically kept my house at 72 with the old system. At 72 with 50% humidity, controlled by the system control, it feels cold in the house at 72 now. I won't know, or at least I hope I won't, how the heat pump works for a little while yet.
One thing to keep in mind as well, they've stopped production on 410a systems and are moving to the new A2L refrigerants R32 or R454b. As I understand it, the A2L systems will be more expensive than the 410a systems. I've been told they'll also be a little smaller than the 410a systems. I chose 410a because I'm class 1&2 certified and since I don't do HVAC anymore, I didn't want a system I couldn't buy refrigerant for without having to get a new certification.
