    This document provides a life cycle cost estimate for installing one ENERGY STAR qualified air source heat pump compared to a conventional unit in Washington, DC. It estimates that the ENERGY STAR unit would cost $1,000 more initially but save $3,188 over its lifetime through lower energy costs, resulting in a simple payback period of 2.9 years. Overall, the ENERGY STAR unit is estimated to save 33% over the retail price over its lifetime through reduced operating costs.

    The document discusses the annual savings and life cycle cost analysis of ENERGY STAR qualified air source heat pumps compared to conventional units.

    An ENERGY STAR qualified unit saves on average $340 in annual energy costs and $2,188 over the life of the unit compared to a conventional unit, with a simple payback period of 2.9 years.

    The life cycle cost analysis considers initial costs, annual energy costs, maintenance costs, energy consumption, and a discount rate over a 12 year lifetime.

    * Annual costs exclude the initial purchase price. All costs, except initial cost, are discounted over the products' lifetime using a real discount rate of 4%.
    See "Assumptions" to change factors including the discount rate.

    A simple payback period of zero years means that the payback is immediate.
