What's typical in Honolulu: heat pump (cooling + humidity control)

In the hot-humid South, heat pumps dominate — winters are mild, so there’s usually no furnace, and humidity control matters as much as temperature. That often makes replacement a bit cheaper than a full furnace-plus-AC system. The regional product — not just labor rates — is why prices differ, so the ranges above reflect Honolulu's typical setup.
