This is a nice concise look at electrification.
And indeed, quotes are going to be all over the place, and a heat pump should be sized with a blower door and energy use informed energy model.

The heat pump water heater price difference was outrageous!
$4600 is high for the midwest, but I can see it. $7000 is highway robbery. And I seldom give contractors a hard time for pricing.
That's what having fear priced in looks like, or not wanting the job.

Most of California can basically swap a furnace for a heat pump, although the experience with single stage equipment may be mediocre (loud and lots of blowing air.)
Cold climates need to swap very carefully or experiences will suck, which will act like an anchor on demand.

I haven't been able to find the article again, but ~60% of US home natural gas use is in 8 cold climate states (CA and TX are another 20%, heavy on water heat usage.)
Cold climates MUST be solved for, and they are a b*tch on both contractor and homeowner fronts.

I was off a bit, 60% in the top 11 states, excluding CA and TX 48%.
Note use per capita for CA and TX about half the others.
